First Chck Enclosed
The veteran went the Navy
one better. He enclosed his first
check to repay his World War II
pay on the installment plan and
said he also wants to contribute
to a scholarship fund.
His total base pay. amounted
to nearly $5,000, and his special
pay and allowances to another
$4,000.

was not disclosed at his request.
But the Navy got his permission
to tell the details of what the
Navy admitted was an "unusual
transaction."

bor and was discharged at the
end of the war as chief petty
officer. He resumed his small
business on the West Coast and
was highly successful.
Privilege to Serve

Vice Adm. J. L. Holloway Jr.,
chief of Navy personnel, stating:
"Dear Sir: I am writing to
ask you if it would be at all pos
sible for me to return my Navy
pay earned during World War
II. I am nearly 42 years old and
fully realize that it was a privi
lege for me to serve this repub
lic. This wonderful country has
been extremely good to me and
I owe it more than it owes me.
"If the above is possible,
please advise me. I can afford
to repay it at S50 or $100 per
month. Also tell me how much
I would owe, including every

Back Stairs: Apple Sauce for Dessert
BY MERRIMAN SMITH
United Press White House Writer
Denver (U.R) Backstairs at
the temporary White House:
Fitzsimons Armv Hospital is
trying a new dinner dessert on
Fresident Eisenhower apple
sauce. He's not much of a des
sert man when he's feeling well,
but apple sauce is not his idea
of an entirely ideal after-dinner
sweet.
He'd prefer apple pie, but
pastry in any quantity is out of
the question for the moment.
Too many calories.
Anybody know how to make
a non-caloric pie?
This promises to be a rather
difficult week-end for members
of the White House staff and
the press corps who have to
meet incoming planes bearing
important personages from
Washington. . ,
Atty. Gen. Herbert Brownell
Jr., arrives at about 6 a.m. Fri
day. And Dr. Paul Dudley
White, the Boston heart special
ist, comes in at about the same
hour Saturday morning.
Maj. John S. Eisenhower, the
President's son, is flying from
Washington aboard the same
plane with White Saturday for
a brief visit with his mother
and father.
It may be as much as two or
three weeks before there is def
inite word on where the Presi
dent will spend part of Novem
ber and most of December fol
lowing his release from the hos
pital here. ,
Regardless of what some of
the more or less self-informed
political figures outside Denver
may have to say on the subject,
the final decision will be made
primarily by the President and
his wife with the consent and
consulation of the doctors.
Gettysburg, Pa., continues to
look like the best bet, but a bad
spell of weather there in the
near future could change everything.
There is such intense' public
interest in what the President
eats , at the hospital that Press
Secretary James C. Hagerty
must be particularly detailed in
describing Mr. Eisenhower's
menus.
Hagerty, for instance . can't
get away with merely saying
that a menu includes peas. He
must describe them minutely
garden, green, black-eyed, petit
pois or whatever other forms
taken by the lowly pea. Neither
can Hagerty say simply that
the President had salad.. He must
identify the ingredients.
Ha gerty incidentally, will be
the subject of several upcoming
magazine and newspaper articles
praising the job he has done in
keeping the public informed on
the President's illness. The gen
eral verdict seems to be that
Jim has done an excellent job
under trying circumstances.

that's Setting
the Trend!

Sen. Frank Carlson (R-Kan.)
who believes the President and
his wife want to retire to their
farm at Gettysburg, Pa., after
1956, passed through Denver
yesterday. He's a staunch sup
porter of the President, because
he figured the Eisenhower staff
was ' quite pre-occupied with
their own business, he did not
get in touch with them during
his brief stop-over at the airport.
McAuley To Speak
