Eisenhower To Face Varied iOn Strenuous Good-Will Trip Abroad By PHIL NEWSOM UPI Foreign Editor ' President Eisenhower goes to the international grassroots -next Thursday on the most strenuous good-will tour ever undertaken by an American president. In 19 days between Dec. '3 and Dec. 22, he will visit 11 nations, talk with as many national leaders and deliver in the neighborhood of 20 speeches. Five of the nations he will visit border the Iron Curtain, the temperature of their relations with the west ranging from hot to warm to COOl. ' , On Dec. 18 he reaches Paris for a Western summit session with Prime Minister Harold Mapmillan. of Britain and President Charles de Gaulle of -France. Seated at times with the Big Three also will be Chancellor Konrad Ad enauer of West Germany. It is preliminary to a Big-Four summit session with Russia expected in the spring. Test of Stamina The 22,370 - mile trip will give full play to the noted Eisenhower personality, and, as well, will be a test of the Eisenhower stamina. - Besides the nations he will visit, Eisenhower also will "make an informal call at the Vatican to see Pope' John XXIII. This will be on Sunday, l5ec. 6, and it is possible that in order to avoid Sunday trowds, the President may literally "drop in" to the Vati can gardens -'by helicopter. The first helicopter to land in Vatican grounds did so only LARRY SCHADE Selling Out to the Bare Walls and Empty Shelves V SAVE 30 -40 -50 ; And We're en the Entire Schade Quality Stock of Fine Diamonds, Watches and Jewelry Your Christmas Gift Dollars Will Do Double Duty Now ' " . .

While the President's trip is strictly of a good-will na ture, he cannot avoid running into problems as he travels the vast perimeter ranging from New Delhi to Paris. Here are some of them in thumbnail: Nw Delhi - Indian criti cism of U.S. world policies has lessened considerably since the beginning of the Red Chi nese threat to Indian borders India may be expected to ask more U.S. aid, especially if it must devote more of its own resources to military expendi tures to meet the Red Chinese threat. No abatement in In dian neutrality. Karachi - Pakistan is one of the West's firmest friends. It feels itself threatened both by Red China, and by Russia through Afghanistan. In con tinues in desperate need of economic aid, both for indus try and agriculture. Kabul - Of all the nations on the tour, Afghanistan is rated the closest to becoming a Soviet satellite. It is striv ing to bridge a gap of cen turies and is relying heavily on a $100 million Russian loan to do it. Russian experts are everywhere, though Af ghanistan is a professed neu tral. ' Tehran Iran regards it self as the West's barrier to Communism in this part of the world. It wants better jet air planes and more modern arms. Also wants the U.S. to become a full-fledged member 71 v of CENTO, successor to the Baghdad Pact. Ankara - With Pakistan and Iran, Turkey is among the West's best friends in the Mid dle East. It relies heavily on the United States both for arms and economic aid. But there are no "Yankee Go Home" signs here. Turkey is permitting installation of U.S. missile bases with an atomic potential. Athens Greece and Tur key are the eastern anchors of the NATO line. Both would like a greater small -nation Ike's Travel Mileage Over Quarter-Million Washington (CPU White House aides estimate that President Eisenhower will have traveled just over one quarter of a million miles in office when he completes his mission to Europe and Asia. ' From 1953 to 1958, he has covered at least 30.000 miles a year outside Wash ington (both at home and abroad). ' This year will be the bus iest year 34,930 miles on his December mission abroad. Grand total: 225,000 miles. voice in NATO. Greece also relies heavily on U.S. aid. Greece recently has patched up its quarrel with Turkey over the future of Cyprus. Tunis President H a b i b Bourguiba of ' Tunisia is a champion of independence for Algeria from France, but in viewpoint is one of the few Arab leaders who is frankly pro-Western. He also needs military and economic aid. Tunisia has a small but so far ineffective Communist party. Madrid - One of the most delicate ports-of-call ' on the' tour. Britain and France still have not wholly forgiven Franco for his Axis ties with Italy and Germany in World War II. In other countries he is condemned as a dictator. But the U.S. needs Spanish bases and Franco needs U.S. money. Rabat U.S. relations with Morocco have been on the up grade since the United States aereed to give up its Moroc can bases. The effect on Mo rocco's emonomy through loss of income from the bases still is to be measured and may be discussed. Rome - Italy wants an eaual voice in NATO and is resentful that it often is left out of big decisions. The coun try is prosperous and firmly allied to the West, despite its huge Communist party. Italy also is permitting establish ment of U.S. missile bases. Paris - Eisenhower's big job here will be to smooth out the differences which still rankle between Britain and Germany and Britain and France. Germany suspects British motives toward Ber lin, and France suspects Brit ish motives in Africa. The British suspect, both for their membership in the "Inner for your greater convenience . . . Problems Six" which Britain fears may squeeze her out of the conti nent. There is not total agreement among any of the four as to the date and pur pose of a summit meeting with Russia now proposed for the spring. - Ike's mission will take the wisdom of Solomon and the strength of Hercules. .

Pickin' Pears By WALTER TOWNSEND Dr. Elmo Stevenson, presi dent of Sotuhern Oregon col lege, delivered the Thanksgiv ing Day address in the theater Thursday morning. The director of singing was Maynard Hadley, gas station owner and popular visitor at Camp White. Services were opened by Chaplain Roger Pryor. Mrs. Avis Hobbs of Medford was visiting pianist. Manager Henry C. Herzog welcomed the SOC president, who attributed much of the success of the nation to the important role of education, as envisioned by the founding fathers. Democracy, Ameri canism and egalitarianism have gone together to devel op the country in its west ward march, : Dr. Stevenson said.. , Herzog told of Dr. Stephen son's accomplishments in the field of education. Dr. Stephenson opened his talk with witticisims, and his philosophy was "never sell America short." "The public schools of America have an intense faith in the education of youth," he said. "A" democracy cannot operate without educated leaders in America's way of life," he added. He stressed the need at this time of giving encouragement to the teachers in their prob lem of training the present generation for their place in the world of tomorrow. Such faults as exist, he declared, are due to our own shortcom ings as a people. The community initiative of America, he pointed out, is the wonder of other parts of the world, where nothing can be started except as a govern ment project. Dr. Stevenson spoke of the responsibility of schools in developing the individual's fullest potentialities. The burden of his talk brought an inspiring picture of America in its present po sition of world leadership. He referred with feeling to the inscription on the Statue of Liberty, and told what the public schools had 'done for the "huddled masses" of hu manity. ' Wonder drugs and a 10-year longer span of life have been contributed --to mankind through public education, he said. 1 iV ' " ' ; ft were . . i . .. ; ;; J est' hj- y?dr" vt?? I'd tell my folks that the only way to travel is on the UNION PACIFIC RAILROAD. After several trips in the car, Man I've had it! When we get there Dad's so tired and cross he isn't fit to live with; Mom's been so busy keeping us three kids quiet and yapping at Dad about his driving that she won't unwind for hours, and we've usually had ear. trouble of some kind. This is fun ? Now don't get me wrong ... I love to travel ... but why not do it the EASY way? UNION PACIFIC is the answer, with their dependable, safe and courteous service.

This ultimatum had gone forth to all the schools and colleges, President Stephen son reminded his listeners. Altogether, his words car ried one of the most stirring messages for public schools, perhaps, ever heard by the .members at Camp White. Chaplain Pryor closed the spe cial Thanksgiving services with a prayer. "The most interesting thing about astronomy is mathe matics," according to Guy Vinson, watch repairman at Camp White. He has spent many years' observing the heavens on the side and knows the stars and their positions well. Did you know that Mrs. Sarah Hale was responsible, more than anyone else, for Thanksgiving Day? She wrote to all the gover nors of all the states and ter ritories year after year, asking' them to set aside the . last Thursday in November for a day of "thanksgiving." Finally she prevailed and this day was made Thanks giving Day, according to Wil liam Ricken, captain of the Medford Chapter of the Salva tion Army. Mrs. Hale was the editor of a woman's magazine in Phila delphia. But since she had once lived in New England, she was a great influence in giving Thanksgiving its New England atmosphere, Captain Ricken sad. A dance in the theater is scheduled Monday night, Nov. 30, sponsored by the Veterans of World War I aux iliary. The musicians union of Medford will supply the music. With an open night in the theater, Pat Graham, of the DAV Medford, brought his talent show to Camp White Friday evening for an audi tion before domiciliary mem bers. The band of entertain ers was roundly applauded at the conclusion as they were presented to the audience. Winners will be announced Dec. 11, Graham said. This is the ninth season for this DAV conducted event. . Science Improves Algae's Bad Tasfe Washington (Science Serv ice)-Scientists can now burn the bad taste out of algae.
