Washington U. Backstairs
at the White House:
Rep. E. Ross Adair (R., Ind.)
will get a chilly reception from
the Eisenhower staff if he tries
to find fault with the private
"mess" operated for higher
ranking White House officials.
Adair recently took the De
fense Department to task for
spending $127,000 a year on
what he called "private lunch
eon clubs" for Pentagon admir
als, generals, and top civilian
bosses. Adair said 62 officers
and men were used In the Pen
tagon to staff the private
messes.
Such a mess is operated at
the White House by Navy per
sonnel from the presidential
yacht, the U.S.S. Williamsburg,
for top officials who don't want
to take the time to go out for
lunch, i .
Relatively plain, but appetiz
ing lunches are available to the
upper Hhite House echelon for
between 73 cents and a dollar
each. The charge is non-profit
and based on cost. Service by
Navy stewards is excellent.
The relatively lower-ranking
White House employes, includ
ing the clerical and stenograph
ic help, must leave the premises
for a meal.
Since the Elsenhcwer admin
istration took over (he W h 1 1 e
Houes. however, a small room
for the siaff-at-large has been
opened in the basement, equip
ped with a variety of coin oo-
erated vending machines which
sell hot coffee, ice cream, crack
ers, candy, fruit Juices, and
soft drinks.
Cold war note An official
agency of the Russian govern
ment has a private telephone
inside the White House.
This teleohone was installed
some years ago by Tass, the So
viet news agency, in the press
room along with nearly 40 oth
er Dhones of American nraaa at.
socistlons, newspapers, and ra
dio networks.
Mikhail Eedorov, the chief
Tass correspondent here, seems
to use the White House tele
phone less these days than he
once did.
"Ike rarely comes to the
White House now unless there
is a story directly concerning
Russia. He showi up some
times for presidential news
conferences.
