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.

you gave the woman with two
daughters. You suggested that

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." .

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

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

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

services.

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.

started to drive home.
After going a few miles she
discovered she wasn't in her

Truly a bold burglary. However,
not tops in greater New York

was a crook who robbed police

not jesting. That's a matter of

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.

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.
