Democrats Claim
Nation Is Mijsled on
President’s Health
Republicans Tuesday challenged
a Democratic claim that White
House associates are misleading
the nation on the state of Presi
dent Eisenhower’s health.
Eisenhower put in five hours of
desk work Monday, the longest
stint since his June 9 intestinal
operation, and Democrats marked
the occasion with their sharpest
official blast yet on the subject of
presidential health.
The Democratic Digest, official
party publication, said a “callous”
campaign had been carried on by
“the men around th* President”
to make it appear that Eisen
hower wasn’t a sick man at the
time of the operation.
The magazine said a second
public questioning of presidential
doctors “is clearly in order.” The
doctors held only one news con
ference, a few hours after the
operation.
Presidential Press Secretary
James Hagerty declined comment
on the article. He said, however,
no news conference with the doc
tors was planned and he thought
none was necessary.
The publication called the al
leged campaign to obscure the
facts of Eisenhower's physical
condition “even more politically
motivated and more ir^spons
ible” than pressure it contended
was put on him to run again after
his Sept. 24 heart attack.
Three GOP senators—Bricker
of Ohio, Watkins of Utah, and
Schoeppel of Kansas—said they
thought Eisenhower could be
trusted to keep the American peo
ple informed about his health.
Bricker added, “The more the
Democrats do this sort of thing,
the more votes they are going to
make for Eisenhower in Novem
ber.”
NOTICE TO BID
Sealed bids shall be received in
the City Clerk's Office no later
than 5:00 p.m., July 23, 1956, for
the sale of the Marlin Backslrom
cabin, located north of the school.
Removal of cabin must be made
in fifteen (15) days upon accep
tance of bid.

State Department Will
Make Inquiry on Polish
Air Violation Complaint
WASHINGTON, UP—’The State
Department has promised an “ap
propriate inquiry” into a protest
by Communist Poland that Amer
ican jet planes recently invaded
Polish air space.
Polish Ambassador Romuald
Spasowski made an oral protest
Monday to Deputy Undersecrttary
of State Robert Murphy. Spasow
ski said “jet planes, flying at high
altitudes” flew over Poland in
late June and early July.
It was the second recent protest
from a Communist nation. Russia
charged last Wednesday that Am
erican planes flew as much as 200
miles into Russia July 4, 5 and 6.

Practical Joke Started
Fist Fight on Airliner;
Three Employes Fired
RIO DE JANEIRO, Brazil, Of)—
A fist fight aboard a Real airliner
in flight has led to the dismissal
of three of its crewmen.
Passengers rushed up as co
pilot Julio Caldas and steward
Jose Dos Santos traded punches
1,000 feet aloft after the takeoff
from Assi Airport. The shifting
weight threw the plane into a
dive of several hundred feet be
fore the pilot could control it.
Witnesses said the radio opera
tor joined in the fight, then pas
sengers separated the combatants.
All three got the axe when they
landed at Sao Paulo.
Airport officials reported the
fight started from some practical
joke the steward played on the
copilot.
