; Mamie Satisfactory ; Following Surgery 1 Eisenhower Visits y Mamie In Hospital WASHINGTON (UP) — The . Eisenhower grin told the world I the results of the First Lady’s operation: She came through fine. Mrs. Eisenhower underwent a I two- hour internal operation by a gynecologist Tuesduy to relieve a condition similar to a type that afflicts many women after they pass middle age. The President paid her a late afternoon visit at Walter Reed Army Medical Center where he underwent a major abdominal operation last year. He left the hospital grinning after 35 minutes with her. He was in an amiable mood. When a reportar asked how the First Lady was, the President said: “I think she is sleeping.” Corrects Benign Condition The 60-year-old First Lady was operated on by Col. Humbert L. Riva, a gynecologist in the Army Medical Corps. The surgery was performed between 8 and 10 a.m., e.d.t. White House Press Secretary James C. Hagerty said the surgery had been planned for some time. He said it was intended to

correct a "benign, mild" Condition." was "not an emerglency" and involved “nothing malignant” or cancerous. As though to underline the statement, the President kept his regular appointments during the day and went out on the south lawn of the White House to hit a number of practice golf? drives shortwy before going to the hospital. Hospital Stay Unknown Previously he had kept in close touch >by telephone with the hospital- while conferring with Repubjlican congressional leaders and others. Hagerty said he did not know how long the First Lady would be in the hospital. But he said he had talked to her physicians and he did not believe the* operation’ would delay the start of the President's scheduled vacation at Newport, R.I. Hagerty said earlier that he expected Eisenhower to remain in Washington until the adjournment of Congress — Now expected by GOP legislative leaders about Aug. 24.

Partner In Noted Comedy Team Dies Oliver Hardy Dies After Long Illness HOLLYWOOD (UP> — Oliver Hardy, the rotund partner of the famed Laurel and Hardy movie comedy team, died of the results !of a paralytic stroke today. He was The plump comedian, who won worldwide acclaim with Stan ’Laurel over a span of more than two decades, succumbed at the • -Burbank home of his mother-in-law after a long illness. His wife for 17 years. Lucille, was by his side. They had no children. Hartiy, who weighed over 200 pounds, had been in "very poor" condition since suffering a stroke a year ago. He was paralyzed and could not talk. He could barely eat and make motions with one hand. He appeared in some 200 films with Laurel during the past 30 years. One of his best known comedy characteristics was the bashful fingering of his tie. He drew belly-laughs with such slap- ' stick antics as falling out of windows, bumping into doors and hitting his finger with a hammer. Trade in a good town — Decatm

Indianapolis Man Killed In Accident INDIANAPOLIS (W- A.

(UP) —Art- . hur A. Hargrave, Indiana's and , perhaps the nation’s oldest newspaper publisher, starts his 102nd . year of life next week still menj tally alert and doing a column ! regularly for his weekly publica- , tion. . Hargrave will be 101 years old \ Aug. 15. Barring an unforeseen . illness, he expects to produce a . column for the Rockville Republican as he has been doing regularly for the last 69 years. •Mentally, he’s as sharp as ; ever,” said his sOn, William 8., who manages the paper. "And physically there has been very little change since his 100th birthday.” But Hargrave hasn't been down to his office during the last year, and hasn't been out of his home since 47 relatives took him down to the Blue Room Case last Aug. 15 for a big celebration as he rounded out a century of life. Hargrave's year of isolation wasn’t a reflection on the Blue Room Cafe's cooking. It was selfimposed, with the persuasion of relatives, because it was felt the dean of Hoosier newspapermen should conserve his strength. Nevertheless, Hargrave spends many of his waking hours dic- ! tating bits for his column to his daughter, Mrs. Ethel Henderson. He would perhaps write his thoughts himself except his sight has diminished due to cataracts. Career Covers 85 Years Hargrave’s newspaper career has covered most of 85 years. He began as a printer's apprentice at the age of 16. Four years later he quit to go to college because a high school teacher told him he had a flair for composition and ought to develop it. 1 After college' and four years on newspapers in Kansas and Terre Haute, Hargrave tried to buy the l Rockville Republican but couldn’t raise the $5,000 asking price. He went to Persia to run a printing shop in connection with a mission station, but returned to Rockville after a four-year stint and bought the Republican for $1,500. Since 1888, Hargrave has been 'associated actively with the same newspaper. No celebration was planned for the 1957 birthday anniversary. "It sounds sort of strange,” his ‘son laughed, “but there's nothing ! unusual about 101.” Three years ago, when he observed his 98th anniversary,- Mr. Hargrave—who really is Dr. .Hargrave because of an honorary doctor of laws degree bestowed by Indiana University in 1954— said: "When I can't write anymore, I’ll be through.” Writes of Recollections But today, on the theshold of 101, he’s still writing. And he’s not through. In recent years, most of Hargrave’s columns, under the heading "Club Man’s Talk,” have been his recollections of experiences in his earlier years. When he runs out of experiences of his own to recall, Hargrave occasionally tells of his father s boyhood recollections of days even more ancient than his. Hargrave's column always ends with a Bible verse. In a June issue, the verse, from the Book of Revelations, said: "I am he that liveth. and was dead; and behold, I am alive for evermore, Amen; and have the keys of hell and of death."

He also said that anything given to him had been on the record and not hidden. —He conceded that he might not have been as active as he should in combating discrimination against women. He was asked why he had not been as active in fighting discrimination because of sex as he had against racial discrimination. The conference erupted into laughter while the President shook his head. ‘ He said it was hard for a mere man to believe that women don't have equal rights, but be was aware of laws in some states which worked to the disadvantage of women. He promised with a grin to look into the situation, but pleaded that he could not enter into a definitive discussion of the question today. —The President was asked whether he had any “new plans” for a farm program next year, in view of evidence that Secretary
