BY MERRIMAN SMITH United Press Whita House Writer Washington (U.R) Back stairs at the White House: President Eisenhower con fided to former President Her bert Hoover this week that play ing golf in the rain recently at Augusta, Ga., left him stiff and creaky at the joints. Mr. Eisenhower went to a luncheon in honor of Mr. Hoover last Monday and as they walked into the dining room, the Pres ident told the former President about his golfing woes. The President felt the after effects to such an extent, he said, that "what I played the next day you could hardly call golf." Tlie muscular stiffness must have lingered because when pho tographers asked Mr. Eisenhow er for "one more" pose with Mr. Hoover, the President grinned and said, "Just so you don't ask me to wave." It was at the state dinner given by King Saud of Saudi Arabia for President Eisenhower at the Mayflower Hotel. As the entree was served, waiters fan ned out through the banquet hall placing gold-banded glasses of a white liquid in front of the Arab guests, none for the West ern guests. One of the younger members of the King's entourage sipped speculatively. "Ugh," he said with a grimace. 'Goat's milk. He took another sip and turn ed to a table companion. "I'd certainly like to get my hands on the person who spread the story that His Majesty is passionately fond of this stuff," said the Arab official. "Every where we've been in this coun try there has been an enormous supply of goat's milk. And I don't believe the King likes it any more than I do." Members of the King's party do not smoke in his immediate presence out of deference to his dislike of tobacco and the use thereof. It was interesting at the banquet to see that Arabs seated near the King were not smoking after dinner, but those seated some distance away from Insurance Firm Sets New Records Last Year A new record for service to Manufacturers Life Insurance company policy holders and beneficiaries was set in 1956 when the firm paid out more than S43 million in death claims, matured endowments, annuity payments and other policy bene fits including dividends, com pany officials have announced.

Business now in force totals about $2,323 mil lion, officials said. him at the end of the U-shaped banquet table were puffing away contentedly. The Republican organization of North Augusta, S.C., is some what baffled a n d a mite dis couraged about its efforts to bring about a real t w o-party system in their section of the South. North Augusta is a town of 13,- 000 population just across the Savannah river from Augusta. Ga., where Mr. Eisenhower visits grequently. When the President was in Georgia last week end, David A. Ward, president of the North Augusta Municipal Republican Club, telephoned the temporary White House switchboard to In form the Eisenhower staff that a letter from his group to the President was on the way, ask ing an expression of presidential encouragement. The Republicans, for the first time in area history, have put up against the Demorcats a slate of candidates for mayor and city Council in the upcoming munici pal election. According to Ward, "The Pres ident has said repeatedly that he favors the development of a strong two-party system all over America, but when we try to get it going down here, a member of his staff tells us, 'Sorry, Mr. Eisenhower does not like public statements on campaigns of this type,." o O o O o O o o e : e 00 0 CO o G o o G o .

The "split" may be for show purpose, one of those dizzying deviations full of fury but mean ing nothing. Don't expect parades aroung the floor or out bursts at Communist conven tions. If there are, don't expect them to change what party lead ers have decided. The Communists will discuss these "serious" errors, self-confessed: 1. The party underestimate American capitalism by predict ing depressions in 1945, 1949 and 1954 which never came. It relied too much on Soviet judge ments about what was happen ing in prosperous America. Yet party officials still wist fully rely on "inflation" and "re cession" as their hope to regain old members and win new ones. 2. It incorrectly believed that America would start World War III and that Americans would succumb to "McCarthyism." 3. It made a whopping mistake in supporting Henry Wallace, the Progressive candidate, for president in 1948. when he had no mass support from American workers. 4.. It wrongly advocated a "Ne gro nation" in the South instead of fighting alonside others for Negro rights. Now, all this has changed, says the party. It will try to be come a leader in the battle to end segregation. It will, it says, no longer "bore from within" in unions and will abide by maj ority decisions. In a resumption of the old "popular front" tactics, it will try to infiltrate the Demoratic party, ' the trade unions and liberal groups. It is even considering disband ing as a party, and calling Itself a "political- action association." Just as the "declaration of in dependence" might upset moves based on the party's subserv ience to Moscow, so the dissolu tion of the party ' could send J. Edgar Hoover's FBI agents on a merry chase into the under ground. "And now the American Com munists would have us believe that they have changed their philosophy," Hoover warns. "What a farce that is. . . "There is nothing really new in the current Communist party from the time of its inception in 1919 has changed its name nine times. The constitution of the Communist party of this coun try has been changed 17 times, zigging and zagging for the at tainment of its diabolical ends through deception and double talk." "Regardless of what it does this week end,"- Hoover said, "of this you can be sure it will be the same old crowd at the same old stand banded together for the same old purpose to advance the Communist cause and serve the Soviet Union. "They will use the same old( technique with which they have hoodwinked so many people in the past." I Old Sawdust McGinfy Fuel Co.
