Phone 2-6766 h Bock Stairs: Papers Have Wrong Address By MERRIMAN SMITH UP White House Writer Washington (U.R) Back stairs at the White House: The American News Company delivers newspapers daily to the White House. One of their ' re cent deliveries came in labeled: "V.P. Nixon, Room 361." There is no room 361 at the White House, but there is one on Capital Hill where Mr. Nixon has his regular quarters. Bill Henry, the California squire who once covered the White House diligently for the National Broadcasting Company, sends in from his orange grove on the sunny shores of Cali fornia: "Bill Henry retired. No phone. No address. No business. No money." Mr. Eisenhower undoubtedly doesn't know it, but his more recent week end in Gettysburg was full of complications for the large press and., radio corps ac companying him.

Despite much attendant publi city, Robert Montgomery has never been consulted on the lighting and arrangements for the President's weekly news conferences.
