Back Stairs: Agents Going To School By MERRIMAN SMITH UPI White House Reporter Washington (UPD -'Back stairs at the White House: Travelers from Gettysburg 1 report a small group of Secret Service agents busily engaged Jn moving into rented homes and preparing for grammar school next year. Why? ' Maj. John S. Eisenhower, the President's son, has moved with his wife and their four children to Gettyburg. It will be their permanent home - at least, . as permanent as any young officer can call his dwelling. - Three of the children, who have been in private schools in Alexandria, Va., will at tend public school in Gettys . burg next fall. Attending with them will be a select group of adults scholars carrying .33 revolvers instead of lunch boxes. ' A law passed after the as sassination of President Wil liam McKinley directs the U. S. Secret Service to protect the President and members of his family. As a practical mat ter, it is not necessary to main tain a watch over John Eisen hower and his pretty wife, Barbara, but the President's grandchildren rate 24-hour protection. . The youngest, Mary Jean, won't be four until next De cember. So she's too young for school. --. David, 11, will be in the -sixth grade next year; Bar bara Anne, 10, in the fifth grade, and Susan, 7, in the second grade. The three probably will go to the same grammar school within a few minutes by auto from the Eisenhower farm. Their father, a member of the White House staff, will, com mute to work in Weshington. Protection Exdanded After some gun-crazy Puer to Rican nationalists tried to shoot up Blair House when President Truman was in of fice, Congress expanded the specific protection of the Se cret Service to the vice presi dent but not to his family. Three Burglary Attempts Here The packing plant office at Reter Fruit company, 323-29 South Fir st., was burglarized sometime between Friday morning and, Monday morn ing, Medford police reported. Police said the small frame office" building at the north west corner of the main plant was pushed open. However, according to the report, noth ing was taken. The crime was reported by Philip James Mc Cormick, 3506 New Ray rd., Central Point. A burglary of Nu-Way Cleaners, 601 East Main st. Saturday night or early Sun day morning was reported by a Medford policeman. A patrolman reported find- : lng the west door of the build ing insecurely fastened, and on Investigating inside, a file drawer and desk drawer that had been pried open. Nothing was apparently taken accord ing to the report. A man apparently attempt- ' lng to burglarize the Oakdale Big Y Market, 301 South Oak dale ave., was spotted late Sunday night by a Medford . patrolman. Police reported conducting ; a search of the area without finding the suspect, although what appeared to be burglary tools were discovered in a lot a few blocks away. The burglar had attempted to gain entry through three doors, according to the report, before apparently being frightened off by the patrol car's approach. " OUTGO Burlington, Vt- uTPtt Plans 1 to make the Chittenden Coun ty jail "break-proof were postponed because the cost of new locks exceeded the jail's Thus, the two daughters of Vice President Richard M. Nixon attend school without accompanying agents. But if Nixon thought such extra pro tection was necessary, it would be provided without question. Several Agents The Secret Service does not like to discuss its protection arrangements in detail, but it can be said with authority that at least several agents will be permanently occupied in Gettyburg seeing to the safety of the Eisenhower grandchildren. They will escort the chil dren to and from school,' and then take up stations to the hallways outside the class rooms. This was done in the private schols in Alexandria. The agents made a determ ined effort to stay in the back ground as much as possible. But to be of any protective value, they must remain rela tively near. Agents assigned to the grandchildren are chosen carefully. They are low-pressure fellows, quiet, somewhat on the young side and dis creet. Agents have Jiad to go to school with or near the chil dren and grandchildren of Presidents on many occasions. Some went to college with the Roosevelt boys. The mild young agents on similar assignments today can be relied upon to keep calm and unruffled u n 1 e s s pro voked in a peculiar manner. This peculiar manner seldom is evident to those outside the official family, but it usually happens like this: One of the agents on the family assignment comes back to the White House for a visit and one of his colleagues as signed to the President sidles up to him and whispers: "How's everything on the diaper detail: . That's the time to duck. MAIL TRIBUNE, Medford, Or. 1 1 Tuesday, July 7, 1959 A I Thornton Rules On Expenses for Travel To Russia Salem-(DPD - Attorney Gen eral Robert Y. Thornton has decided it would be a misuse of public funds for county school superintendents or "oth er school officials to use school money to travel to Rus sia for an education conven tion. Multnomah county had plans to send personnel to a Russian educational conference this year, but the county Tax Sup ervising and Conservation commission raised questions as to whether this was law ful. . 1 . Specific Authorization Thornton said the statutes showned no specific author ization for any out-of-state travel by school district em ployees, except that the sup erintendent of public instruc tion is authorized to attend "educational meetings out of the state." Thornton's opinion has the effect of cutting teachers off from out-of-state travel ex penses. Several cases from other states were quoted by Thorn ton, but he said there were no Oregon rulings on the point. Thornton said county school officials were entitled to "nec essary traveling expenses" by law, but that this applies only to their routine duties and to meetings called by the super intendent of public instruc tion. He said travel expenses to Russia could not be defined as "necessary" under state statutes. New York-TOPD-Newell W. Edson, 78, an authority on so cial hygiene, died Sunday. He served with .the American So cial Hygiene association, and later was executive secretary of the Erie, Pa., Social Hy giene association. TO SACRIFICE TRIPLETS? Mr. and Mrs. Nathan B. Miller, of Wilmington, N.C., say that they may have to put their six-day-old triplets up for adoption because he can't afford to support them. Miller, 55, is a partially disabled farm worker earning $25 a week. Dennis the Menace Author Takes Wife Carmel Valley, Calif.-flJPD-Hank Ketchum, creator of the "Dennis the Menace" cartoon series, disclosed Monday that he has married Mrs. Jo Anne Olson of Tacoma, Wash. Ketchum, 39, said he wed his 31-year-old bride last Wed nesday in the Carson City Methodist church, Carson City, Nev. His former wife, Alice, died two weeks of an intestinal hemmorhage while motoring in the Northwest. Their 13- STILL IN LOVE Jackson, Miss.-(UPD-Douglas Dedeaux, 29, was held on the complaint of his former wife who. said he had entered her home Thursday, knocked her date cold and held her cap tive for 60 hours. "I don't know why I did it," Dedeaux said. "I guess I'm still in love with the woman." year-old son, Dennis, is the model for the mischievous child in Ketchum's cartoon. The couple met last year in New York where the new Mrs. Ketchum was working as a travel agent. She was di vorced from Paul D. Olson, a Tacoma lumberman, in 1955. Ketchum divorced his first wife last April. ' Chicago . !- (UPD American cities are putting new empha sis on slum prevention, ac cording to the National Asso ciation of Housing and Rede velopment Officials. The as sociation reported that six times as - many cities have housing codes in force now as four years ago. It said at least 260 cities now have laws setting minimum require ments for safety and health in housing, compared with 44 cities four years ago.

S.-He has a terrible temper. Stephen S.-All I hear is nag, nag, nag. Mrs. J. S. I am terribly up set about my 16-year-old son, Steve. He has the most violent temper. He flares Into a rage and rushes out of the house at the least word of criticism from his father or me. All I ask is that he keep himself and his room reason ably neat and clean and ap pear at the dinner table on time. All his father asks is that he get decent grades and help out with a few of the heavier chores. Sometimes he does these things-with a sulk. But all too often he neglects them and when we call it to his attention he flares up. He is the youngest of four children and we never had this trouble with any of the others. We can't imagine what's eating him. Stephen S.-All I hear is constant nag, nag, nag. If I do remember to wash behind the ears, then I haven't got my shoes tied right or my shirt is coming out of my pants. If I mowed the lawn, I forgot to take out the garb age and so on. You can't win if you're me. You're always in the wrong. On top of that, my parents are always looking at me as if I'm a lunatic or something. Or maybe I'm just the bad apple in the batch. They're always talking about how my brother Perry never was like that-and my sisters, well they're just too, too divine. I know I have a temper and I try to keep it "under control,' but every now and then things get to be too much. I just can't take it any more. The Council: Steve's state ment has an honest ring to it. We get the impression that he doesn't lack respect for his parents and all they rep resent, but that he feels he falls hopelessly short of their standards for him. . This probably accounts for his temper tantrums and sulks. Most of the time he probably goes around feeling 'like a failure-chock full of short comings. When one of these shortcomings is pointed out to him it feels like a knife going straight to the heart. Most of us react sharply to a criticism we feel is true. If it is not true or we believe it is not true, we can slough it off more easily. It is certainly a great mis take to compare such a boy or any other child to other young sters in or out of the family. Each is an individual and has some assets and some short comings. When it is the short comings that are constantly pointed out, the child just be gins to feel hopeless. It is enough to tell a boy like Steve what is expected of him and to praise him when he does well. These parents should try to keep the criti cisms to a minimum until Steve's sick ego has a chance to heal itself. When he gains self - respect and self - confi dence he'll be able to "take it" better. But it should be borne in mind that even the most ma- AGAIN, Sa SOON Huntington Station, N.Y.-(UPD- Roland J. Earl and his bride, Rose Marie, were mar ried again Sunday, just one month after their first wed ding. The non-legal ceremony was performed for a photog rapher, whose films of the first, real wedding, were stol en from his car before they'd even been developed.

Yet many adolescents are subjected to just that-"f or their own good," of course. N (Copyright, 1959. ; Central Faetures Corp.)
