Ike Continues
Recovery With
Step Climbing
DENVER, —President Eisen
hower started his seventh week of
hospitalization Saturday by climb
ing steps for the first time since
his Sept. 24 heart attack.
The Chief Executive walked up
and down a two-step stile four or
five times this morning in a new
mark of progress toward recovery.
Afterward, Eisenhower had a
friendly social visit with British
Field Marshal Lord Montgomery.
The step-mounting followed an
X-ra^y examination Friday which
showed that Eisenhower’s mend
ing heart “remains normal * in
size.”
Doctors were “very pleased” at
the lack of any enlargement of the
heart. They termed it important
and encouraging after the sitting
up and walking the President did
last week.
The report strengthened pros
pects Eisenhower will be able to
return to Washington next Friday
and then move on to his farm at
Gettysburg, Pa., a few days later.
Montgomery flew into Lowery
AFB Friday in a cheerful mood,
chatting with reporters about his
warm friendship for the President
and his desire to talk with him
about the Battle of Gettysburg.
“I had an engagement to visit
with him at his Gettysburg farm,”
he explained, adding that in the
meantime he has done a lot of
reading about that Civil War bat
tle. He said he wanted to ask Eis
enhower some questions concern
ing the battle.
I hope to visit him at Gettys
burg,” Monty went on, “but not
next year.” Why not next year? he
was pressed. “I dare not go near
the States in an election year,” he
said.

Air Academy Chief
Says Entering Airmen
Are Physically Soft
PUEBLO, Colo., l£V—1The aver
age young man entering the U.S.
Air Force Academy is soft phys
ically, its commandant said JYi
day.
Brig. Gen. Robert M. Stillman
told a high school assembly that
“we are getting young men at the
Air Academy who cannot even do
one chin-up, who cannot do four
or five sit-ups.”
He appealed for his teen-age
listeners to spend less time in
front of a television set and more
time in outdoor games.
“The physical condition of the
European boys,” he said, “is three
times as strong as that of Ameri
can boys. The American people
are becoming exceedingly soft.
“I’m not trying to run down our
boys. I want to make you realize
that we are getting soft to the
point of losing our initiative and
drive. Poor physical aptitude
means less chance for success.”

Newsprint Makers
Told Self Control
Beats Socialism
QUSBEC (iP—Quebec newsprint
manufactureres were told yester
day by Premier Maurice Duhlessis
that they are “only lessees” of
publicly owned forests.
He said that, like all lessees,
they must use their trust “in a
reasonable and just manner.”
In his first detailed statement
of the Quebec government’s policy
on the newsprint situation since
the new price increases were an
nounced, the Premier said self
control is the pest kind of control
newsprint manufacturers can ex
ercise.
But he warned that “when ab
uses replace self-control . . . state
control (sometimes) becomes nec
essary.” He also challenged recent
statements that there is a news
print shortage now or imminent.
In his weekly press conference
Duhlessis said: “It is a detestable
thing in itself, this state control—
and not a recommendable thing in
principle—which nevertheless be
comes a necessity under certain
circumstances.”
The current controversy over
newsprint prices, bringing pro
tests from newspaper publishers
in Canada and the U.S., started
two week ago when the St. Law
rence Corp. announced a $5-ton
increase. In quick succession, in
creases of $3 - $4 were announced
by five other companies.
Before the increases, newsprint
sold for $126 a ton delivered in
New York. Quebec is Canada’s
largest producer and exporter of
newsprint.
