NICHOLS United ftam Fr Wri Washington U.R) What's I new in Washington: Members of the White House staff are hop ing that Pres ident Eisen hower and Mamie will drop in for a howdy on Christmas eve, as usual. Year before last the staff received auto graphed prints of Ike's painting of llil Harman Nicnol Abe Lincoln. Last year one of George Washington. Even with out gifts it's always a thrill for the help to get personal yuletide greetings from the boss. Their answer is a handsome cook book entitled "Who Says We Can't Cook?" An interesting lit tle guest contribution recipe came from Bess Truman, wife of the former President, who said that a favorite in the H.S.T. household is frozen lemon pie. Mamie Eisenhower is repr.v sented with "Million Dollar Fudge." They both sound yum my. ' Around Hollywood Goering' fs Safecracker Lands Behind Bars Edinburgh, Scotland (U.R) A safecracker who turned Com mando to open Hermann Goer ing's Luftwaffe headquarters safe during World War II was back in prison today for prac ticing his craft in peacetime. The skill that brought John Ramsey, 50, the praise of Allied intelligence chiefs 10 years ago brought him a 10-year prison sentence here Tuesday. Ramsey parachuted behind enemy lines many times to blast open safes and lift enemy war plans. One of his victims was Goering, the German air chief. But it was a different' story when the war hero was arrested for a $45 safe job in Glasgow. He pleaded for leniency but the judge said, "from your conduct and history you can not be trust ed to abstain from crime." Phyllis Bernau, secretary to John Foster Dulles, the head man of the State Department, was worried when the boss left for Geneva. She thought he had forgotten a beat-up old brief case he always carries for good luck. It is Phyllis' job to see that he always carries the bag. She couldn't find it. When the little secretary met the big secretary on his return, she cried: "Where is it?" And there it was all the time, in his hand.

Dulles returned from Geneva in one of those big four-engined Constellations. He transferred to a two-engined plane for a short hop from Washington to Gettys burg to see the chief. Somebody at the airport asked if the much traveled secretary had ever been in one of the smaller planes be fore. A wag chirped that little planes have been used all sum mer to drop the secretary off in little countries. The Rev. Stan Lorrigan, a New Zealand priest who stopped here on a round the world study trip, proudly exhibited an "inven tion," which he called "kan garoo pouch pockets m his pants. Father Stan fell to fretting about how a man puts things in his pants pockets and everything goes to the bottom, with the top part wasted. So he sewed a pocket within the pocket, where he now carries important things like a pen knife, keys and the like.

The American Automobile As sociation here likes the one about the man who wrote in to an AAA approved hotel arid asked if dogs were allowed. The hotel man wrote back and said: "I've been in this business for 30 years. Never have I called on the police to eject a disorderly dog. Never has a dog set fire to a bed with a cigarette. I have never found a hotel towel or blanket in a dog's suitcase. Nor a whiskey ring on a dresser from a dog's bottle. Sure the dog is welcome. . 'P.S. If he'll vouch for come along, too. you, The Women's National Press Club has come out with an an swer to a question. Can the darlings of the press coop cook? By ALINE MOSBY United Press Correspondent Hollywood OJ.R) Sleek, perfumed nightlifers who crowd into the Mocambo these nights to cheer Ear tha Kitt don't know it, but it's probably the last time they'll see the catlike singer in a nightclub. Ear th a ' s lonely voice and sexy lyrics Aline Mosby have made her a top nightclub star. But the tiny singer confesses she's giving up smoke-filled cabarets for a different life. The girl who croons 'C est Si Bon" will forget singing to dance and act in her first "nonracial" role as "Salome" on CBS-TV's "Omnibus" Dec. 18. the first time a Negress has had the part Now Writing Book Like most show folk, Eartha also is writing a book about her Cinderella life. And she wants to concentrate on doing more dra matic roles on the stage and TV "I don't want to become stag nant," she explained today. "It's better not to stand still. You have to make progress." Eartha moved about her apart ment, a doll-like figure in a blue Japanese kimona. When she talks she gestures with her hands. "My main concern is getting the book out," she went on. "Then I want to communicate with myself for a while. You can run around for so long, playing many characters, you can lose your true personality. I am tired of being a gypsy I have bought the legendary house on 92nd St. in New York and will live there. The book has taken me three years for I'm a very moody per son," she frowned. "I only write when I feel like it." Becomes Star Eartha's book will tell the story of the poor sharecropper's daughter in South Carolina who became a star of the Katherine Dunham dance troupe, the dar ling of Paris as a singer and a Broadway star in "New Faces" and "Mrs. Patterson." "Years ago I dreamed of star ring on Broadway and a friend told me I never would in these times. Now here I am co-star-ding with Michael Redgrave on TV," she said. "If my dreams can come true, why can't other dreams come true?" Hot Weather Deodorant for Sheep, Square Mothballs Asked by People of Britain By ROBERT MUSEL United Press Correspondent London U.R) The people have spoken! What Britain needs is a deodorant for sheep in hot weather and square moth balls. Leslie Hardern, who runs a program for inventors on the NBC television circuit, asked viewers to tell him what they most wanted to see invented. To day, from behind a small moun tain of ideas, he authorized the following comment for quota tion: Who would have thought there was a crying need for roller skates that wouldn't roll back while going uphill? How is it no one ever thought of rigging up an electric dog to scare off bur glars when set in motion by the breaking of an electronic beam? As for those square mothballs, PORTLANDER KILLED Portland (U.R) Portland marked up its 36th traffic fa tality of 1955 today with the death of William Christian, 79, who was injured fatally when struck by a car last night. There were 33 fatalities at the same time last year. dteee eexh?

Main Phone 2-2456 Further Troop Cut in Far East Tokyo (U.R) The U. S. Army disclosed today it is cut ting the 1st Cavalry division now stationed in Japan by some 4,000 men in further reduction of Am erican troop strength in the Far East. Reduced to "token strength" will be the famous 7th Cavalry Regiment and the 77th Field Artillery batallion. The spokesman said that men within the regiment and the ar tillery batallion who have serv ed time in the Far East to return home will be sent to the United states. He said others will be assign ed to other units in the Far East to replace rotating soldiers. it seems that for decades people have been dissatisfied with the round ones because they roll around too much. Hardern has proof of the old saying about the better mouse trap. Inventor Bob Evans spent night after night watching mice in his kitchen blithely escaping with chips of cheese from the conventional mousetrap. So Evans put the cheese under the trap-trigger instead of on top of it and caught every mouse that came along. "Did the industrialists beat a path to his door?" "I think they used the tele phone," Hardern said. "But at any rate he's sold 2,000,000 mousetraps already." Another viewer suggested a huge speedometer on the outside of automobiles. It would hp bn enough to be seen by pedestrians who would then know how fit the car as approaching and bet ter estimate their chances in jaywalking. Cleaner Attachment Another sent plans for an at tachment to a vacuum cleaner which would suck insects right out of the air. A woman wanted bedsheets marked so bedmaking would be easy. A motorist wanted a burglar alarm on the handbrake of cars. A girl wrote Hardern that she would like to see someone in vent a device that would keep her skirts from billowing up while riding a bicycle. None of the men had thought of that one.
