President Greets Children
At Annual Easter Egg Party
By PATRICIA WIGGINS
United Preis Correspondent
Washington (U.R) Presi
dent Eisenhower today wished z
"wonderful time" to wiggling
and waving youngsters at the
traditional White House Easter
egg roll and advised parents not
to get lost.
The President appeared behind
a protective fence, a precaution
ary measure to prevent a repeti
tion of the mob fcenes in 1953
Two years ago, Mr. Eisenhow
er said, several lost children
turned up, "but we" found it was
reallv the parents who were lost.
I hope you all stay together this
year and have a wonderful
time."
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

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.
Only children under 12 are
permitted at the egg roll, and
must be accompanied by an
