Eisenhower Farmhouse
Gets Finishing Touches
By Robert ]. Lewis

The President and Mrs.
Eisenhower were attracted to
the farm they bought near
Gettysburg because of its old
fashioned character, its an
Gent ash and locust trees, its
lovely situation overlooking
both the Gettysburg Battlefield
and the Blue Ride Mountains
20 miles away.
In spite of the many road
blocks that being President
throws up against living the
simple life, they have wanted
to keep the farm simple and
definitely not a showplace.
Today, after more than four
years of planning and build
ing, the job is almost complete.
Though necessarily bigger.
the house still has simple lines
and is unpretentious. The
stealing itself has strictly the
exterior character of a large
farmhouse, and not of a coun-
try mansion.
In spite of the changes that
have doubled the size of the
original house. and of the
landscaping. the place still
doesn't clash with other farm
houses in the neighborhood.
AS the neighbors would say,
It's mot fancy. And that
would be a compliment to the
kind of job that was done, for
Pennsylvania farmers are apt
to be plain people who like
practical homes that are not
too much ''for show.
One of the things the neigh
bors like. especially, is that the
Eisenhowers left the old wind
mill standing behind the newly
built south wing. That's the
kind of thing a farmer would
be apt to do himself. For in
the country you don't throw
things away, but save them in
case they're needed.
The windmill is not con-
nected to the pump right now.
But in an emergency-well,
1t might come in handy "just
in case".
That's the way farmers are
everywhere, and particularly so
in Pennsylvania. When you
farm for a living, you're at the
mercy of the weather. the in
sects, and the fluctuations of
the market. So you have to be
cautious about spending cash.
You are apt to make do" with
what you've got rather than
60 out and buy something to
take its place. You're apt to
save all kinds. of things that
city folks never would own, or
quickly, throw away. Such
items range from unused sheds
to old fence posts, from oil
drums to antique farm wagons.
To a city man, such things are
eyesores. To a farmer, they
are things to fall back on in
case Of emergency.
Adams County residents
don't expect the Eisenhowers
to do things just the way
farmers do them. To a man,
they seem pleased to have
them as neighbors. :

Spokesman PoOh-P o0hS
 Canadian Claim Japanese Catching All Their Fish

TOKYO, R-"Japanese are not getting any more fish than they are entitled to-" a government Fisheries Board spokesman said today.
 The statement was made in re- sponse to charges by British Col umbia fishermen that the Japa- nese are taking British Columbia fish from mid-Pacific waters.
 Japan has rigidly observed the fishery demarcation line at the 175 degrees longitude mark in the Pacific, provided by the Canada U.S.-Japan treaty of 1852" the spokesman said.
 Government ships have always escorted Japanese fishery con- voys to the mid-Pacific and have never allowed any Japanese fish ermen to trespass the line over to the Canadian-Ameriean side"
 The 175th parallel is roughly l,500 miles from Japan's eastern most island, Hokkaido ,and about 5000 miles from British Colum- bia.
 Tt is true that Japanese fisher men this year had a record high haul of red and pink salmon in the Pacific,'' the spokesman said And we hear that British Colum- bia fishermen did not have a good haul of them. But we don't think we ought to comment on sug- gestion 90 per cent of the fish caught in the Japanese side have cruised from the Canadian side

9 Inmates Tunnel Out of Washington State Penitentiary

WALLA WALLA, Wash, R-A mother-murderer and nine other tough inmates of the tumult-rid- den Washington State Peniten- tiary escaped last night after weeks of tunneling through seven inches of concrete and 30 feet of earth.
 The escape was discovered an estimated two hours after the 10 had crawled through the 30-inch- wide tunnel to liberty just outside the west wall.
 Early today, despite wide spread cordon of scores of police assisted by four bloodhounds, no trace of the men had been found except tracks a half mile from the gaping hole in the prison side.
 Back in the prison the guards found neat circular slab chiseled from the Finch thick concrete floor of one of the cells. It led into an unused dirt-floor base ment. The 30-foot-long tunnel started there, running straight as a die to the exit point.
 Only a few handmade digging tools were left behind. The dirt apparently had been flushed down prison toilets a bit at time. Guards said the big chunk of con- crete probably had been replaced each day by the felons after night of digging.
 One of the men who escaped was William B. Bracey, 20, who shot his mother at Tacoma two years ago when she refused him the use of the family automobile.

 T say the Republican party is the strongest it has been in 25 years," Hall said in an address prepared for a Western States party conference luncheon.

Wien's AirdrOp 34 Barrels Fuel Oil At DiOmede Is.

FAIRBANKS, lR - An Alaska commercial airliner on an emer- gency supply mission circled re- peatedly within one mile of Russian-held territory in the Der ing Sea this week without inter ference from Soviet fighter planes based on the Siberian coast.
 The Fairbanks News-Miner re- ported the flight today and com mented on the change in U.S.- Soviet relations.
 Only a few months ago, the newspaper recalled, Russians shot down United States Navy plane which the Soviets claimed had strayed within 50 miles of the Russian mainland. It became an international incident that ended only when Russia agreed to pay half of the indemnities and ex- pressed official regret.
 On the mercy flight, the News Miner said, Wien Alaska Air lines GAG dropped 30 drums of desperately needed fuel oil to Eskimos on American-owned Lit tie Diomede Island.
 Circling carefully to make the drop effective, the newspaper said, the GAG passed repeatedly within mile of the International Dateline without response from Russian installations in Siberia 90 miles away, or Soviet-owned Big Diomede Island only one mile away.
 In dropping the fuel, the GAG ignored practice common to all Alaska airlines of never approach ing closer than 30 miles to the Russian-Alaska border, the news paper said.
 During winter months, bush planes sometimes approach Little Diomede Island from the Ameri- can side and land on frozen ocean ice to delivery supplies.
 The GAG circled carefully over the area and dumped the drums into the ocean a short distance from shore where water cushioned their impact and the EskimoS could still retrieve them without venturing too far out in the stormy, ice filled ocean. They saved 23.
 Pilot was Capt. Red" Schultz, co-pilot Bob Shinn, freight ex- peditor Gerry Modrow, and C. K Harvey and Jackie Muller pushed the drums from the plane.
