O o (SI 0 o Back Stairs: Ike Charged for Meals By WARRENN DUFFEE United Presi Correspondent Denver (U.PJ Backstairs at tl temporary White House: Some people were surprised when the Army ruled that Presi dent Eisenhower will be charged for his meals during his recovery at Fitzsimons Army hospital. They assumed that the food, like the rest of the President's treatment, would be free. However, the chief executive Is getting his money's worth for his $1.10 a day. A hpusewife trying to stretch the grocery budget could well be envious. His daily menus read like pages from a homemaker'g cook book. They are well balanced and appetizing but the portions are small because the doctors are limiting Mr. Eisenhower to 1,600 calories a day to keep him from gaining weight while he is inactive. Despite the surprise to many that the 'President would be charged for his meals, there ap parently were even more people who didn't know the chief execu tive has the right to treatment at an Army hospital at all. The temporary White House was amazed at the number of inquiries, some indignant, as to what right the President has to use the military hospital. The answer is simple he's the commander-in-chief of the armed services. Mrs. Mamie Eisenhower, who hasn't left the hospital since her husband was taken there Sept. 24, has plenty of tirffe for her favorite word game, "Scrabble," while the President is recov ering. But she sometimes has trouble finding someone with the time to play the game with her. The doctors, nurses and medical corpsmen on duty are usually too busy keeping an eye on the President. The first lady also has been too concerned about the Presi dent to settle down often to the concentration the word game requires.
