Extra Guest Rooms Provided
In New Modern White House
Washington, Dec. 1 W) President and Mrs. Truman are going
to have room for extra guests when they move back into a safe
and modern White House in late 1951.
They'll have space, too, to store all those things that people
don't like to throw away.
They will find it expanded-
into a 77-room mansion with a
two-story basement when the re
pair job about to get under way
is finally completed.
The present 150-year-old
structure, to be completely reno
vated inside, has 69 rooms and
no basement.
Engineers disclosed today that
eight additional rooms will be
built on the top-or fourth floor,
possibly for use by guests.
Tn V" past this floor has been
used for maids' quarters and
is who could not be accom
modated in the limited bedroom
space on the third floor. The
third floor is used by the chief
executive and his family.
Presidents themselves have
been known on rare occasions
to sleep in the "attic" to permit
very important visitors to occu
py their bedrooms. So, when the
new rooms are added, it may not
be necessary ever again for citi
zen No. 1 to. do like the office
clerk who doubles up on a sofa
to make way for a rich relative.
Actual work on repairing the
home of presidents will get un
der way in about a week. An
underpinning subcontract was
let yesterday. The first job will
be a demolition one to get ready
for the new interior foundation
and strengthening the base of
the outside sandstone walls.
Maj. Gen. Glen E. Edgerton,
one of the engineers attached to
the renovation commission, said
the new White House should last
150 years or more. Congress has
appropriated $5,400,000 for the
whole job.
The commission is now con
sidering how to dispose of nun
dreds of pieces of scrap and oth
er materials salvaged from the
historic structure without run
ning afoul of the congressional
dictum that there be no "com
mercial exploitation."
General Edgerton said the
commission might ask new legis
lation to defray the cost of dis
tributing the souvenirs. Care
must be taken to authenticate
these, he said, to avoid an ava
lanche of fakes being sold to
the gullible.
For example, he said, there
are about 500,000 bricks many
of them still charred from the
burning of the mansion by the
British in 1814 and most dat
ing back to 1818 when restora
tion was completed. Old timbers
could be sold or donated whole
or by the splinter.
Damaged mantles, scraps of
metal and even nails all are
among the disposable items.
The material will be put in
four categories: (1) Complete
items like doors and mantles
that can be preserved for use
the renovated mansion, (2)
pieces with historical value for
display in museums, (3) frag
ments that may be of sentimen
tal value only, and (4) perish
able stuff for the dump heap.
Moscow Woos
Catholic Unions
London, Dec. 1 ( Moscow
once again Is wooing turopes
Catholic labor unions to form a
solid "front" with communist
workers in what may become a
new campaign aimed at disrupt
ing the west's recovery program.
The Russian-led cominform
(communist international infor
mation bureau in a resolution
published yesterday after a
secret meeting this month in
Hungary urged communist
workers:
"In the struggle for working
class unity special attention
should be given to masses of
Catholic workers and working
people and their organizations."
This call coincided with a bit
ter rift which has arisen here in
the organizational meeting of
the anti-communist free world
labor confederation over failure
by its credentials committee to
invite Catholic unions from Bel
gium, The Netherlands, Switz
erland, Denmark and Luxembourg.
Observers here felt that the
cominform may have been well
aware of this snub and -had de
cided to take advantage of it.
