Charming Mamie Could Be Ihe Neighbor Next Door By Rt'TH KING What did Mamie wear? Every woman from coast to coast ha probably wondered about that very question alnce the Republcan Presidential candldate'a train start ed It's trek across country. Yesterday, women of the Klam ath County Central Committee and others who bonrded the Elsenhow er special at Eugene had a chance to see, first hand. It Lm't possible to pack alt The tense excitement of an estimated crowd of 12.000 waiting fans, the friendly shoving for a better view the gift bearers and the auto graph seekers the folks with cam paign badges, the six-footers from Roseburg with their Paul Bunyan garb and the Big Ax they pre sented to Ike Eisenhower, Uie train pulling into the station between packed masses of friendly faces, Ihe thrill of getting aboard, tagged with a committee badge, the actual cordial greetings from the world famous Mr. and Mrs. Eisenhower, into a few paragraphs. First Impressions were of a giant Jig-saw puzzle that fell into place as the cheering died. The Presidential candidate re ceived a tremendous ovation, As he broke Into his 8th major address of the day, the Klamath Falls committee and guests board ed the train to listen over loud apeakors. Guests, when It ended scattered to U parts of the 18-car train. Mrs. Eisenhower, who could well be your next door nelfhbor, bor rowing a lemon across your back yard fence wore a soft crepe frock, with silver-gray background and over-all pattern In black. Her tiny, closefitting hat. presented by wom en of Eugene was of Iresh-plucked small pink Mums' and Mamie, while waiting for the photog rapher's bulbs to flash, worried about the moisture takinfr the curl from her graying hair. The close- D) pi? WEDNESDAY, OCT. I, 1952 and Ike knit schedule of appearances gives her little time for pin curls. She was charmed with Oregon, enjoying every moment of her trip, enthused over the gift of Klamath Netted Gems, wild plum conserve and an Indian basket pre sented by Geneva Duncan, Wyatt Padgett and Bill Lorenx from Klamath County admirers. Women aboard wore everything from a long-haired poodle cloth frock that swathed the svelte form of Greta Declas, five-foot-eleven whirlwind reporter at large, to California sportswear. She was Introduced by Mrs, Olive Cornctt who rode the train from Portland and was directly respon sible for arranging for the Eisen hower personal appearance here last night. Following the Inter view Mrs. Elsenhower sent her per sonal guest book through the train for signatures. Dignitaries o the Republican party, both men and women, were aboard and as the train moved into the darkness, conversation settled Into discussion of the Impression the General has made as he moved West, Eisenhower staff buttons and Elsenhower press buttors indicated those who keep a campaign special clicking on schedule. From the engineer who received orders from a central control room via mobile unit to the porters who make up the berths, orders are prepared days in advance. Every moment of the candidate's time and the hours for Mrs. Elsen hower are planned by others. Even here, after a brief rest, the couple were aroused to give the waiting hundreds a glimpse. Their time Is not their own, but both the General and his lovely wife are apparently enjoying every moment of their swing across ine nation. If they are not. they gave no sign on the trip down irom Eugene last night. ism "I Telephone 8111 No. 2940 Ike Ron ran alwU By Klamath Supporters By HALE SCARBROUGH Ike Eisenhower in his bath robe and Mamie in her house coat charmed a surprisingly large crowd of Klamath Falls people at the Southern Pa cific depot last midnight as their special train paused here for servicing before plunging into California. The 18- car Eisenhower Special pulled into the depot at 11:50 p.m., and stayed for aooui nau an nour.', -"-'A few moments after the" train stopped, the crowd was tanned 20 and 30 deep around the rear car, calling for Gen. Eisenhower to come out on Uie platform. Mrs. Olive Comett of Klamath Falls, Republican national commlUeeloman, came out first, xplatned that the Republican presidential nominee bad been asleep, and asked If it would be all r-ht for him to come out In his bathrobe. It was all right with the crowd, and the general came out grinning. Rubbing the sleep from his eyes and peering around at Uie crowd, the general jokingly demanded: "What are you people doing out here this lime of night?" Elsenhower made no formal speech here, but bandied wise cracks with the crowd, shook hands with those close enough lo reach, pose for pictures and signed auto graphs. GOOD BYE "I thought we said goodbye to Oregon back there in Eugene." he declared, obviously taken aback by the size of the enthusiastic crowd that waited up untU midnight to see him. 4 "You know, one of Uie first ax ioms lor a military leaner, uc said, "Is never to be surprised. But you surprised me." "They caught you napping, you mean," rejoined Mrs. Eisenhower. The crowd kept pressing bim for a short talk, and finally Uie general said: "This is the part ot the cam paign that's fun, having so many people come out Just to be lrieno ly. The rest of It's lot of work. You know, au we re trying lo ao is substitute clean, decent govern ment for bad government." The vivacious Mrs. Eisenhower likewise had only a few formal words to say. but she and the gen eral scribbled their autographs on dozens of pieces of paper handed up to them, keeping up their end of Joking with the crowd. After about 15 minutes Mrs. Cor nctt stepped up to a public ad dress microphone to say that Ike had been campaigning since o'clock In the morning and that he needed to get back to bed. Eisenhower looked up from his autograpn signing to remark: "Now, don't gii ihem feeling sor- (Contlnued on page 4) Chest Plans Second Meet A second meeting of the Com' munity Chest plan to promote pay roll deduction welfare contribution is slated for Room 308.

Korea (JV-The Allies today indefinitely postponed Ko rean armistice negotiations arid bluntly told the Reds the next move waa up to them. The dramatic acUon was taken l "higher authority." Gen. Mark Clark's headquarters said without' elaboration. In Washington, officials aald the "higher authority" was the United States government, which exercis es the United Nations Command in Korea. That would mean In Dractlcat ef fect that Uie decision was worked out by the State and Defense De partments in conjunction with tha White House, It was said, and that other Allied governments with troops in Korea were consulted on it. ALLIES Ambassadors of the Allied na tions held one of their regular meetings at the State Department Tuesday and there was reason to believe that Uie postponement maneuver waa discussed with them. . Officials said the positive pur pose of the move was to out nrn. - sure on the Communists to come) up with some constructive propo sals for solving the prisoner of war repatriation issue which baa dead locked the truce talks for months. The postponement was taken until the Communists either accent an Allied proposal for settling ther stalemate over prisoner of war ex change or make "a constructive proposal of their own." FINAL BREAK What may prove to be the final break in the talks, started 15 months ago. resulted from a dead lock In the knotty problem of pris oner of war exchange, last un solved item on the agenda. 1.1. Gen. William K. Harrison senior Allied negotiator, said the Allied team would return to th truce site any time the Reds wera ready to accept one ol three alter nate Allied plans for settling the POW question or were willing to make "a constructive proposal" in writing. ims unprecedented stand meana the U. N. negotiators will not re turn to Panmuntom just to bo harangued and harassed by bitter nea propaganda ousts. In Tokyo, Clark said, "we con tinue to conclude an armistice ac ceptable to the conscience of tha free peoples. It Is up to uie Com munists to show whether they too. want such an armistice." Officers at Clark's headquarters made no effort to mask the serb. ousness of the situation. But they refused comment en whether the Indefinite recess might actually result In a final breakdown of the peace talks that started July 10. 1961. New Probe In Justice Dep't WASHINGTON W1 Assistant Atty. Gen. James M. Mclnerney was summoned before a House juaiciary subcommittee today to explain how a case involving al leged violation of pure food laws was handled last year. Officials of the subcommittee, which is probing the Justice De partment, would not tell newsmen olllcially beforehand what the caaa involved or who was Implicated. They said Uie matter probably would be covered fully In today's opening hearing and the commit-' lee would swing to other phases of Its investigation tomorrow. At that time it was possible tha group would explore the activities of some unspecified U. Si attor neys' offices. Mclnerney now Is head of the Justice Department's Lands Div ision but was chief of the Criminal Division last year. Also called were George P. Lar rick, deputy commissioner of tha Food and Drug Administration; John T. Orlgsby and John J. O'Keete Jr., Justice Department attorneys, and William K. Hays, a food and rug Inspector In tha Chicago area. The subcommittee, headed by Rep. Chelf (D-Ky), has been In vestigating various aspects of tha Justice Department for several months. Rep. Keating of New York, tha ranklns Republican member, told newsmen the group probably would1 hold hearings uie rest or this n and then recess until Oct. 27.
