t o o 0 Back Stairs: Nixon's Suit Gets Pressing By WARREN DUFFEE United Press Correspondent Denver (U.R) Backstairs at the Summer White House. President Eisenhower's habit of having important business-as-usual conferences on holidays can sometimes lead to hectic mo ments for the governmnet big wigs here for the business. Vice-President Richard M. Nixon found that out early La bor Day morning. So did the Brown Palace hotel where the vice-president was staying prior to an 8 a.m. ap pointment with the Chief Execu tive at Lory Air Force base several miles away. ' At 7:20 a.m. on the holiday morning, the limousine provid ed for Nixon was waiting out side and ready to go. But the town was quiet as a tomb. So was the hotel. Every thing it seemed, was shut down, including the hotel valet shop. That wouldn't have mattered normally, but the vice-president wanted his grey suit pressed be fore his White House conference. And while the minutes ticked by, a white-haired bellhop fran tically telephoned all over town trying to find an all night press ing spot open at dawn on Labor Day. He must have found one, for Nixon arrived on the dot in a neatly pressed suit. ' Mr. Eisenhower was so de lighted with one picture of him self fishing with grandson, Dav id, 7, at Fraser, Colo., that he asked the Air Force for several copies. The shot was made by an Air Force photographer from Lowry Air Force Base, the Summer White House headquar ters. It shows the Chief execu tive bending over his grandson, instructing him how to grasp a casting rod. Presidential press rooms, both at the White House in Washing ton and assorted temporary lo 0 cations, have echoed to some strange sounds over the years. But the Summer headquarters of Mr. Eisenhower at Lowry re 0 'ne an sounded to something new the other day. It was old-fashioned hymn singing in the press room. The correspondents, bored with waiting for a press confer ence with a visiting VTP, began tuning up casually. Soon it became a full-voiced hymn fest that echoed down the halls and had astonished airmen hanging from the windows in nearby buldings. As Ne Live Mother Of Two Better Off Without Alcoholic Husband Just because one woman finds that her husband will reform if she stays by his side is certainly no guarantee that it will always work out that way. The statistics on drunkards certainly prove this statement. (Q) "I disagree with the advice you gave the woman with two daughters. You suggested that ,"r?l she leave her h u s band. He was the one "?iAsJ joined A. A. 1 but dropped it ' lanri was drinking harder than ever. He had all kinds of Dr. Herlock excuses for not going back to A.A. My hus band did much the same thing, but I did not leave him. I. too, had two children, boys who were seeing their father come home day after day so drunk that he did not know what he was doing. I stuck by him and went out and worked to support the family. Finally, my husband became so ashamed to have me support the family that he joined A.A. and hasn't touched a drop of liquor for two years. He has a good job now, so I can stay at home. I think you should have advised this woman to give her husband another chance. I am sure things would have worked out all right in the long run." . B.L. J. (A) I wish I could have as optimistic a point of view about her case as you have. The very the eitira -and still save. Extra bounce that's what the youngsters need when they start back to school. That's why you give them : good food and lots of it. And good food is what you get at Safeway at substantial savings. Lucerne Bonus Quality Milk is a wonderful example. Lucerne meets highest standards for purity, flavor and cream-content. The Lucerne people actually pay farmers a bonus, extra money, to get this superior milk. Yet, you pay no more for Lucerne. In fact, you pay less than for home -delivered milk! It's Safeway's policy to bring you many fine foods like Lucerne for less. For Safeway believes that it's what you save on a shopping basket full of food week after week that counts not just the few pennies you might save on a few sensational cut-price items. Fill a shopping basket full of food today at Safeway. See if it doesn't cost less than you expected. LUCERNE the Bonus Quality Milk at SAFEWAY An out-of-the-way church in faraway Colombia provided the design idea for the limed oak pulpit which the President and Mrs. Eisenhower's family have given the Corona Presbyterian church here. The gift will be ded icated Monday night at special services. Corona's current minister, the Rev. Robert S. Lutz, spotted the unique pulpit design while trav eling in Colombia. .. By Elizabeth hurlock, ph.d. fact that he offered all sorts of excuses for going back to drink ing and for giving up his mem bership in A.A. would suggest that he had no intention of re forming. This woman knew from past experience that if she went out to work to support the family, her husband would use what money he had for drink. Why should she be made to carry such a burden again and have' a home which she felt was not suit able for two growing daughters? If her husband had given her any sign that he wanted to turn over a new leaf, I would agree with you that she should stick by him and try to help him. However, his readiness to think up all kinds of excuses for him self would certainly lead one to believe that he had no desire whatever to reform, and that he would continue for the rest of his life in the path he was travel ing. (COPYRIGHT 1955. GENERAL FEATURES CORP.) Woman Drives Away Wrong Station Wagon Boston (U.R) Mrs. Dorothy Boardman deposited some bun dles in her ranch wagon and went on to do some shopping.

On The Side (Distribiited by King So the home of Brooklyn's district attorney was burglarized. Truly a bold burglary. However, not tops in greater New York history in that respect. Some years ago in Manhattan there was a crook who robbed police stations. His specialty was steal ing policemen's badges. I am not jesting. That's a matter of record. . Please Note This year is the 25th anniver sary of the commercial telecast. The first "commercial" was voiced on television in Chicago in 1930. The sponsors were Lib by, McNeil and Libby.

Durling Feature Syndicate, Inc.) i Wife Selection What the average British male wants in a wife is that she be a good housekeeper so a recent poll reveals. Love is considered fourth in importance, good looks are' sixth. Intelligence; seventh. A sense of humor ninth in the list of ten factors discussed. The British women consider "under standing" the most desired qual ity in a husband. They place a sense of humor third. Generosity sixth and love seventh. I can't go along with either of these selections. I am just an old-fash ioned boy. I believe love is first. I mean the love that grows and grows through the years of mar riage. Intelligence I place second, a sense of humor third and a sympathetic nature fourth. Asking Queries from clients. Q. Did Bing Crosby ever play the Palace .Vaudeville Theater in New York? A. Yes, sir. In 1928 as one of the act known as "The Three Rhythm Boys." . . . Q. What was the name of the hero ine of the play "Abie's Irish Rose"? A. Rosemary Murphy. . . Q. Are columnists reporters? A. Some columnists are. But most columnists are journalists. As you know, a journalist is a re porter whose legs have gone back on him. . . . Q. What is the largest number of thoroughbreds to figure in a photo finish? A. Believe it was eight. But I wouldn't bet a stogie on it. Your query is one that needs extensive checking. Horses and Women Note Cynthia Oberholzer, a London mannikin, referred to as "The World's Greatest Dress Model." Cynthia is five feet nine. Her other measurements are bust, 35; waist, 21, and hips, 36. No doubt she is beautiful to look at. She also probably makes the clothes she models beautiful to look at. But is she a practical type? I mean women who view fashion shows must want to get an idea how the gar ments exhibited would look on them. How many women are five feet nine? How many have 21 inch waists? Seems to me the craze for tall models is slightly ridiculous. Why not a variety of models, that is, girls of a num ber of different heights and measurements? Long Hours Commenting on long working hours, an Anchorage, Alaska, subscriber says that, as an oil driller, he once worked 12 hours a day, seven days a week all the year around. That is, except when working in Canada which had a law against Sunday labor. Then he only had to work 12 hours a day, six days a week. Almost Confidential A United States Army officer, a bachelor, says that while he agrees, that the Waves are the best dressed women in the Unit ed States armed forces, the wo men marines are by far the best company. ... Baseball gloves used by infielders now are like pillows. When I was a kid we used to cut the middle out of the infielders gloves leaving part of the bare hand exposed. Idea was you could throw a ball quicker after it was fielded. PENTATHLON MARK London '(U.R) Alexandra Chudina of the Russian Dynamo club Wednesday set a world rec ord for the women's pentathlon by scoring 5,015 points while competing in the Moscow Sum mer Games, a Tass broadcast from Moscow reported. The broadcast also said that it mark ed the first time a woman had scored over 5,000 in the .events. EARLY REPUBLIC Pittsburgh, NJL (U.R) Speaking of liberty-m i n d e d Americans . . . This town existed for three years during colonial times as "The Republic of In dian Stream." It had its own con stitution, council, assembly and Thursday, September 8. 195S United States Opens Drive for Inspection Plan , United Nations, N.Y.-4U.R) The United States, shelving all its previous disarmament plans. ; has begun an all-out drive for approval of President Eisen hower's military inspection plan. Authoritative sources said Harold E. Stassen, the Presi dent's special aide on disarma ment, had served notice on the U.N. Disarmament subcommit tee that the Eisenhower plan was the only American disarma ment plan at the moment. Stassen "placed a reservation" on all previous positions taken by the U.S. on disarmament But, he told the subcommittee Tuesday, he took this action "without "withdrawing or dis avowing" any previous U.S. po sition, while at the same time not "reaffirming" them. Russian Demand Rejected Stassen, joined by disarma ment experts of Britain, France and Canada, rejected for the time being Soviet delegate Ar kady A. Sobolev's demand for Western approval of immediate armed forces reduction and a ban on nuclear weapons. In essence, Stassen's reply stated that: Scientific advances in recent years have killed the possibility of a "100 per cent sure insoee tion system to detect nuclear weapons. But the Eisenhower plan for exchange with Russia of mili tary blueprints and the right of aerial and ground inspection is a sound beginning toward any disarmament system. Arms Reduction Stand If Russia accepts the Eisen hower plan the United States will be willing to negotiate on arms reduction. But it will not reduce armaments either con ventional or nuclear until the best possible inspection system is in operation. Informants' said Stassen told the committee the U.S. was will ing to listen to any ideas for an inspection system and that Washington's position was not "rigid or mandatory." BrighamYoungSchool Has Large Attendance Provo, Utah (U.R) Presi dent Ernest L. Wilkinson fore casts that Brigham Young Uni versity already the "largest church-connected institution of higher learning in the country," will have a student body of 12, 000 full-time students by 1963. The university, owned and sup ported by the Later Day Saints Church, since 1950 has spent or specifically budgeted $16,200,000 for campus and plant expansion and improvements. Ben E. Lewis, director of cam pus planning and development, estimates that $10,000,000 more will be spent in the next eight years to accommodate the constantly-increasing enrollment. More than half of the present student body, now over 7,000, comes from outside Utah. Cali fornia, with some 1,000 students, has the largest -out-of-state rep resentation, followed closely by Nevada, Idaho, and Oregon. Although 16 different religions are represented on the hilltop campus in northeastern Provo, more than 97 per cent of the stu dents are Latter Day Saints.
