Plane To Rush Me
To Denver"

seems to me pretty significant. So want to
deal with that first. The question seems to
imply widespread belief that in politics il is
sometimes smart not to tell the truth. dis
agree. For mutual trust between elected repre-
sentatives and the voters is essential to the
political health Of any democracy. And. in
the long run, am firmly convinced that the
people will support only men who prove
worthy of that trust. Now, as to the story
itself.
SMITH: How did you first hear about the
Presidents illness?
HAcERTY: On Saturday, September "a, the
day Of his attack, / was in Washington. l
heard from Denver by telephone in the late
forenoon that the President was not feeling
well. 1t was sometime after lunch when
Murray Snyder, my assistant in Denver, called
and said the President had suffered heart
attack.
/ told Murray to put out everything APP
proved by the doctors; then lined up plane
to rush me to Denver with Colonel Thomas w.
Mattingly, the heart specialist at Walter Reed
General Hospital. We reached Denver after
midnight and ! went straight to Fitzsimons
Army Hospital and looked up Major General
Howard Snyder, the Presidents own doctor.
As soon as had enough information, I
drove through cold rain to Lowry Field where
the summer White House Offices are located
guess it was shortly before am. when
held my first press conference.
SMITH: When you found out that you were
coping with Presidential heart attack. where
did you get your directions?
HAGERTY: When Mr.. Eisenhower first took
Office, he and understood together that all of
his activities would be Of high public interest.

Wide World

He doesn't like constant public surveillance
any more than the next man, but he accepted
the fact that much Of his life must be public.
Al the outset Of his illness, knew il was an
historic story that should be told to the fullest
possible extent. had worked this policy out
with him in one Of our first conferences.
told him thought we should tell the public
everything possible and he agreed.
You want to understand one thing: the
President realizes that news Of the health Of
any chief executive is Of paramount concern
not only to millions Of Americans. but many
people overseas, too.
SMITH: Did he give you actual directions
on how to handle the story?
MAcERTY: At the time he was in an OXYGEN
tent and the doctors were in complete charge.
When went into the hospital suite on the
night Of the attack, General Snyder told MIR.
Eisenhower that was there. The President
told him to tell me: Take over and tell a
straight story" That was all | needed -
SMITH: That's the first time I've heard that.
l thought you were just reacting like an old
newspapeman.
MAcERTY: No. Smitty. Even during the
earlier stages Of his illness when he could not
read newspapers or listen to news over the
radio, he realized there was intense public
interest in his condition. Mrs. Eisenhower told
him about the tons Of messages flowing into
Denver from people all over the world.
SMITH: Right from the start, Jim, you didn't
in. You reported almost by the heartbeat for
those first two critical weeks.
HAGERTY: Yes, the first two weeks were
critical and use that term in the full medical
sense. Naturally was caught in what might
be described as an emotional whipsaw. On
one side. we had sick President, my boss.
On the other side, there were about 100 report
ers, all after the same news.
At times it was very difficult, because sud-
denly, as you fellows did, had to become a
student Of coronary thrombosis to understand
what the doctors were talking about.
The doctors pretty much dictated the medi-
cal bulletins. But we had to be extremely care
full Of our words. If we used phrase in the
bulletin for several days and then, for variety,
altered the phrasing. il had to be explained to
the reporters so they would not attach undue
significance to the change.
recall saying one morning that the Presi-
dent had an excellent nights Sleep" The
next morning reported that he had good
nights Sleep" Right away was hit by half
dozen questioners - had the Presidents con-
dition deteriorated? Of course it had not.
But that taught me lesson.
SMITH: One of the more curious aspects

in league play and now boasts a
season record of AL. A one
point loss to South GAINESVILLE is
the only blot on their record.
Caldwell lost five men on fouls
including stellar guard and
chief play-maker Sam Bates,
who was banished after playing
only so seconds of the second
half, He was followed in the
third quarter by substitute guard
Dave Milligan.
With only II seconds gone in
the fourth period, Fritz Watson
picked up his fifth personal and
Caldwell lost his valuable defen-
Sive and offensive services. Less
than a minute later Allen Man
son, Caldwells longshot artist,
fouled out to leave the Redskins
in bad situation. Larry Wilson
went out in the closing minutes
on personals as did two of the
RamblerS, but the game was
already decided,
Caldwell managed to cling to
their slim lead and held a 49-43
advantage with five minutes to
go, but the Redskin subs could
manage only five points from
there on while RoSeville bagged
Is.
Keith Smith tied the score at
49-49 on a pair of free throws,
before the Ramblers went ahead
on Marvin Miller's field goal and
Caldwell never regained con-
troll.
In the final analysis, however,
the Redskins poor foul-shot
average of l3 out Of 80 cost them
the game since the visitors con-
verted 80 out of 54.
The first quarter saw Caldwell
rack up seven field goals COM
pared to one for Roseville with
Fritz Watson making eight Of
Caldwell's points to lead 1873.
Roseville had six out of IL free
throws in the quarter.
The second period found Allen
Manson high with six points as
the Redskins out-goaled the
Ramblers 6-5 and led by as much
as 10 points. Again RoSeville
came through with 6 out of 10
at the foul stripe while Caldwell
missed all three attempts to see
the Redskin lead dwindle to
1924 at halftime,
The visitors succeeded in
knotting the score at 1888 late
in the third stanza on a pair Of
charity toSses by Sandy Smith
but they failed to take over the
lead at this time. Once more
Caldwell netted 5 goals to 4 for
Roseville, but the Ramblers made
8 out Of 10 fouls to make the
scoring even in this quarter at
l6 points each. Leon Bates had
eight for Caldwell in this frame
to hold Caldwell's lead at 44-40.
In the fourth quarter, with
most of their offensive strength
gone, the Redskins made only
two field goals and missed II out
of II fouls. Roseville could bag
only three fielders but converted
IL out of % foul shots to clinch
the victory.
Roger Russell took scoring
honors for Roseville with "a
points including IA out Of 10
fouls. Leon Bates had 18 for

1t was match point during the
first quarter with Caldwell on
top 1916 as Allen Manson and
Fritz Watson collected six
points each. Bob Watts netted 10
of the Ceramics l6 points in this
quarter.
In the second frame, Crooks
vile tied the score at PAPA after
a couple of quick buckets by
Larry Cook, and the Ceramics
led occasionally by two points
as the lead see-sawed back and
forth. Manson dumped in IL
points for Caldwell in the second
quarter while Jim Mckinney led
the Ceramics with seven. 1t was
still anybody's ball game at half
time as Caldwell held a slim
1897 lead.
The third quarter saw the
complexion of the game change
rapidly as Caldwell opened up
l2-point lead then went on to
set new record with SO points
in this quarter. Sam and Leon
Bates began to hit, netting IA
points each as the roof fell in
on the Ceramics.
Caldwells subs took over
during the final four minutes of
the game but couldn't push the
score over the century mark
when Crooksville elected to
stall the ball to hold down the
score.
The Redskins were so busy
making field goals that they
spent little time at the foul line,
making only eight out of 26.
Crooksville attempted AZ and
made good on %.
Leon and Sam Bates rang up
20 points each and Allen Manson
% for Caldwell, while Bob Watts
with % and Larry Cook with II
led the losers.

The ROSeville Game

The kOSevllle Game
Even though last Friday
nights ball game was lost to
Roseville, fans are still talking
about it as one of the most ex-
citing games of the year.
Despite the loss, the Redskins
can certainly be proud of giving
the league-leaders real run for
their money. :
The crowd was larger and the
spirits higher than any previous
games this season-it made en-
thusiastic basketball watching
and even though the results were
not what we had hoped for,
everyone left feeling that they
had seen real ball game.

Barring a last minute develop

erS can stick TO whatever plans
they made after the - per cent
acreage slash. Chances for an
additional decrease are slim due
to the lack of time.
Clyde Wayne, chairman of the
County Agricultural Stabiliza-

tee, said the county office has
been assigned 2O,349 acres for
1856 distribution among farm
erS.
Notices went into the mails
yesterday to over 5000 tobacco
farmers informing them OF
their new tobacco allotments.
Il don't think there will be
any further cut due to the lack
OF time ! certainly hope that at
this late date no cuts will be
made" said Wayne.
Wayne suggested that grow

measurement of tobacco acreage
at the earliest possible date to
avoid penalties imposed for ex-
ceeding the quota.
