(IP) Backstairs at the White House: The operation of the White House, in an impersonal sense, is a large and compli cated piece of business. The public hears for the most part of the President, his press secretary and various other staff members whose duty it is to stay before the electorate in a posture of policy. The public, however, rare just about everything short of the code machines which move with a President where ever he goes. Joe's boss is a long-time White House veteran, Dewey E. Long who is chief of White House transportation. Dewey currently is recovering from a winter illness and his as sistant, Russell McMullin, is running the shop. the President's press confer ences, when Eisenhower has them. Jack's more work-a-day chore is transcribing the twice-a-day conferences of press secretary James C. Hag erty. Jack has the mind of a mental savings bank.

(That's how Capt. Anthony Bolger of the Oakland Police Department described the $500 robbery of a branch of the First Western Bank and Trust Co. last November. In that case, police quickly traced Norman E. Holmes, 30, through the demand note he presented to the teller and ,'vleft behind. The note was pen cilled on the back of the de duction slip of his paycheck from a construction firm. The oversight will cost Holmes three years in the clink. A chain of recent bank rob beries in the San Francisco area, of which the Holmes case is one sample, has serv ed as a good example of "how not' to rob a bank." , There's the escapade of Louis M. Shadoan , 35, who told his wife to wait in a tav ern while he went to a Fair field bank to "get some money." He escaped with SI, 100 and, driving a fire-engine-red se dan, picked up his wife and headed for Sacramento at 80 miles an hour. Runs Into Police At a railway , intersection, Shadoan's car. clipped anoth er auto that of Suisun Po lice Chief Wallace Woods. Shadoan surrendered meek ly. Then there was Norvell T. Robinson, 24. Authorities said he stole $1,680 from the San Jose bank, where he was employed. Leaving a rear window op 'en, he returned to the bank on a Sunday night and rifled the night depository. He left a wire coat hanger on the ground outside the window in hopes the FBI would think someone fished the money out from the outside. But the FBI found the coat hanger wasn't quite long enough to reach the spot where the money was. It had to be an "inside" job. In Oakland, two innocent bystanders stumbled onto the $28,182 robbery of a Bank of America branch. The bandits forced the two men into the vault and they were still there when the police" arriv ed, soon after the robbers had gone. Who's Who? What! "Come out with your hands up. Come out or we'll kill you," the police ordered. The men came out, were searched and handcuffed and it was several hectic minutes before they could convince the police that they were not the bandits. Several recent holdup men had obviously reinforced their courage with a drink or two. One of these was Edward Downey, 41, who hailed a cab driver, James J. Bridge and directed him to a San I Francisco bank. He told Bridge to wait while he went inside to make a withdraw al. The next Bridge knew, Downey was diving into the back of the cab shouting, "go, go, go!" Two bank officials were close behind. "I didn't like this play," the cabbie explained later, "so I turned off the key and killed the motor and they pulled him out of the cab. All the time he was still yell ing, 'go, go, go!' " Ike's Luck Fades Out Reporter Discovers By LYLE C. WILSON . United Press Correspondent Washington (IP) What hit the Eisenhower luck? Where is it now? That luck boosted an ob scure infantry colonel to the pinnacle of military fame. It carried him to the presidency of a great university and, fin ally, to the White House. Luck, fame and personal charm which warmed the vot ers made of Dwight D. Eisen hower a formidable political candidate in the pattern of Franklin D. Roosevelt. The fame and personal charm persist but the luck is fading. For four of his White House years, the President enjoyed an immunity from Democratic criticism which was astonish ing. Things did go wrdng from time to time. The Democrats, however, rarely tagged Eisen hower as the man responsible for governmental misplays. He had proven ability to win multi-thousands of Democratic votes from whomsoever the opposition might put up against him. Democratic leaders were convinced that attacks direct ly against the President would backfire. No man could ask i for a finer bourbon ' because no finer ? y bourbon exists! V I f I 1 3 Times have changed. There is no immunity now against criticism of Eisenhower. Re publicans as well as Demo crats fire at will when White House policies displease them. Least of all do the politicians fear to challenge the Presi dent in the field where his judgment at first generally was accepted as both correct and final. That is in the mili tary field of national defense. In that area Eisenhower's prestige dimmed as the first Communist Sputnik soared. Neither has the President's magic in foreign affairs sur vived the rough tests of time He promised to end the blood shed in Korea and he did with an uneasy truce. In the larger and equally explosive area of foreign relations, the Eisen hower Administration is sty mied as were others before it. It can only be said that there is no shooting war, but none can say for how long. In Bad Fix Comes now another off-year congressional election. The Republican party un der -the leadership of a gen eral turned politician is in a worse fix than the good guys in a TV western before the U.S. Cavalary comes tootling over the hill. The business boom which Eisenhower inherited is be ginning to bust. Unemploy ment is back in the news from which it had vanished as the United States maneuvered into war and full employment under FDR. The fat cats of business and industry who were whooping it up for Ike and free enter prise back there in 1952 have had time to forget that their favorite did release them from the regimentation and controls which an elected Democrat probably would have kept on. War, said General Sher man, is hell, and General Ei senhower might echo that about politics. It is midway in the Presi dent's second term. The last two years promise to be the hardest. :LIGHTER..JMILDER....8B PROOF; f a. 3 The superb quality of lighter, milder Old Crow has made it America's most popular bourbon! 86 PROOF ''KENTUCKY STRAIGHT BOURBON WHISKEY 1020 1S O Pt. 6Qt. 100 Proof Bottled in Bond available as usual A .. fcroao-STiuKV OLD CROW DISTILLERY CO., FRANitfORT.KY., DISTRIBUTED BY NAT.DICj'.PROD.CORP.
