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

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.

the NATO line. Both would

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

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

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

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. You ride in
adjustable Dome Coach seats, and enjoy the Dome Diner,
and comfortable Dome Lounge. And I can ride free until I'm
live years old.,. thanks to UP's famous Family Fare. But
most important: the whcle family arrives refreshed, happy!

News and Notes
From Camp White
"Develop the brains of our
youngsters" is one of the di
rectives of the National De
fense Act, said the educator.
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. .
