The President told the crowd, tallied at 6411 as he spoke, that Mrs. Eisenhower, who is at their Gettysburg, Pa., farm, was "sorry she couldn't be liere to welcome you." Youngsters crowding up to the fence shoved eight Easter eggs into the President's hands as he came down from the little plat form. As he walked back across the lawn towards his office, he held up both hands and com mented, "I've got to find some one to give these to." He was answered with shouts of "give them to me." The President distributed the eggs to other youngsters as he walked by and said with a laugh, "This is sort of a transfer job." A good half of the crowd seemed to file out of the south lawn after the President spoke. Although there was some egg- rolling, most of the youngsters were playing tag, just plain run ning around, and sometimes throwing their eggs.
