about In search of employment

Back Stairs: Ambulance on Standby Call
By MERRIMAN SMITH
Washington (U.R) Back
stairs at the White House:
It happened at the dedication
this week of the AFL-CIO head
quarters building across LaFay
ette Square from the White
House. The President was seated
on the speakers' platform with
bowed head as Dr. C. Leslie
Glenn, former rector of St.
John's Episcopal Church, deliver
ed the invocation
From a distance there was the
wail of an ambulance siren. The
siren got louder and louder and
finally turned into 16th St., a
few feet from where the Pres
ident was sitting.
When the prayer ended all
eyes were on the ambulance.
Even the President was craning
to see what was going on.
When the ambulance backed
out of the roped off dedication
area, the only explanation seem
ed to be that with a bright sun
beating down on the dedication
crowd of several thousand per
sons, someone thought it might
be a good idea to have an am
bulance standing by in event of a
fainting case.
- Only hitch was that the per
son who had this bright idea for
got to tell the ambulance driver
that there was no rush and to
approach quietly.
When Mr. Eisenhower arrived
for the dedication, the first thing
AFL-CIO President George
Meany did after shaking hands
stick a large white carnation
into the chief executive's lapel.
The President seemed just a
trifle self-conscious about the
blossom. He almost never wears
flowers.
Bob Hope, the old quip master,
is in town today to entertain for
Mr. Eisenhower for about the
umteenth time. Hope will be
master of ceremonies tonight at
the annual dinner given for the
President by the White- House
News photographers Association.
Hope seems to average appear
ing before a President at least
once or twice a year.
Buddy Hackett, another top
flight comedian, entertained re
porters. Hackett wanted to do a
routine of golf stories, but some
of the newsmen cautioned
against it, saying everybody who
came to town told golf stories
and a certain sameness was be
ginning to set in.
Hackett agreed morosely and
said it was sort of a shame be
cause his routine started off with
a story about Ferdinand Magel
lan who according to Hackett,
was somewhat of a golfer, him
self "He went around the
world in 1521 which ain't bad
considering the length of the
course."
When Indian Prime Minister
Nehru visits Camp David next
month with President Eisen
hower, if the talk becomes too
CISCO KID RIDES EAST
Hollywood (U.R) Japanese
television owners will view "The
Cisco Kid" and "Mr. District At
torney" this fall under terms of
an agreement between Ziv-TV
and Tokyo's JOKR-TV.
Republican, Nehru will find
plenty of reading on the Demo
cratic side. An extensive collec
tion of books about the Truman
administration recently was sent
to the Camp David ' library.
When Mr. Eisenhower was
given a horse at his Gettysburg
farm last week, he walked all
around the animal, slapping it
on the flanks and praising the
horse as "good boy." The horse
didn't seem to mind but some
of the neighborhood farmers
might have raised their eye
brows. The horse was a seven-year-old
mare.
The campaign gadgets con
tinue to flow into the White
House. The latest: black cuff
links bearing the jewelled head
of an elephant with raised trunk
over silver letters proclaiming
"IKE."
