Back Stairs: Doodling Destroyed
By DAYTON MOORE
United Piess International
Washington (UPD Back
stairs at the White House:
Doodlings of high govern
ment officials at National Se
curity Council and Cabinet
meetings are destroyed with
the same care as any notes
they may take on top-secret
matters. Each participant in
such meetings is supplied
with a leather-bound note pad
and attached bronze magnetic
pencil.
A White House source said,
however, that few notes are
jotted down on them. It is
mostly doodles. At the end of
each meetings, a staff aide
tears off the used pages, and
several underneath which
may have impressions oh
them, and destroy them.
Veteran White House recep
tionist William D. Simmons,
a former Secret Service
agent, keeps the pads and
pencils in his desk in the
West Lobby where he greets
President Eisenhower's call
ers.
Not all visitors welcomed
at the White House by Sim
mons are VIPs (very impor
tant persons) calling on the
President. A frequent one is
a 5-year-old boy who showed'
up recently wearing only
shorts and blue sneakers.
He is Robert Simmons, the
receptionist's grandson.
Ghana Prime Minister
Kwame Nkrumah left' behind
similar gifts for 'the wives of
Vice President . Richard M.
Nixon and Secretary of State
John Foster Dulles, as well
as the First Lady.
They were hand-loomed,
togo-like ceremonial robes
worn in Ghana. Each of the
three gifts was jn a different
pattern but all included
Ghana's national colors red,
green and gold.
The ones worn by men are
in one piece but the women's
are divided into a skirt and
stole. Prices of the more ex
pensive ones range upward
of about $300.
White House Appointment
Secretary Thomas E. Stephens
recently impressed the Presi
dent with his speed afoot. The
President came into the Cabi
net Room for a swearing in
and looked around in vain
for a commission to hand to
the new official. '
The President's query of
"Where was it?" sent Ste
phens dashing the 50 feet to
his office. "Boy, you're a
pretty fast runner," the Presi
dent commented with a smile
when Stephens was back in
about one minute with it.
By JERRY LIEBMAN
(One of a series)
Many vignettes of Istanbul
stay in my mind. I remember
soldiers walking down the
street, hand in hand. The
world's most clumsy and
heavy uniforms clothe men
that rank as some of the
world's best fighters. Many of
them had to be forced not to
go to Korea.
I remember the mosques at
night, swathed in strings of
electric lights. One such mos
que has a huge sigh strung
between two of its minarets,
praising Allah nightly in
words made of light bulbs.
Heavily burdened men who
struggle up the steep hills of
Istanbul with unbelievable
loads come to mind. I saw a
refrigerator being carried on
the back of one man up a hill
so steep a car would have
stalled on it. These men find
work easily since they can go
where cars cannot and they
cost far less. '
Touches of Courtesy
I remember so many little
touches of courtesy. As a
foreigner, I have been asked
to step to the head of lines
waiting for buses. People
would even step forward to
pay my fare and no amount
of battle could stop them. The
ticket collector was on their
side. I find the Turkish peo
ple delightful. They are in
nately courteous and retiring.
They seem more complicated
and subtle than Westerners.
No one whistles or sings in
the streets because it is dis
courteous to others.
I have been amused here
in the country by something
which' seems to typify this
courtesy. On my luggage I
have strapped a great deal of
spear-fishing equipment. The
country people find this gear
fascinating. I will see a group
of men surrounding my lug
gage, discussing the year, and
then one man, obviously ap
pointed a delegate, will ap
proach me. In shy terms he
will ask about the spear-gun
and the other equipment the
spear-gun especially, for the
Turks love guns of all kinds.
The minute the gesture has
been made and I have re-
Estimated Budget
Deficit $12 Billion
Washington (UPD Treas
ury Secretary Robert B. An
derson told Congress Wednes
day "we are now faced with
an estimated budget deficit of
about $12 billion."
The new forecast of red-ink
spending for the current fiscal
year 'foreshadows the biggest
government deficit in peace
time history. Last January,
President Eisenhower had pre
dicted a budget surplus ' of
$466 million, but this was up
set by higher government
spending brought on by the
recession and Russia's Sput
niks. Anderson testified at a
closed session of the House
Ways and Means committee in
support of the administra
tion's request that the ceiling
on the national debt be raised
to a peacetime record of $288
billion. The limit now is $280
billion.
sponded, I am surrounded in
a rush.
Left Unguarded
By the way, this luggae
can be left unguarded on the
sidewalk for long periods and
is as safe as if it were under
lock and key. I would not
chance this in any other city
of Turkey or the rest of the
world, however.
Recently, I was invited into
the home of a factory worker
here in Kayseri. May I here
now nominate him as my
candidate for the kindest man
in the world. His name is Mr.
Yahya Celik. I had been
standing on the sidewalk one
evening, watching the even
ing parade, when I noticed
this man who obviously want
ed to start a conversation. I
gave a nod and the conversa
tion was on.
Mr. Celik had been learning
English in his factory, and by
pooling our mutual English
and Turkish we made out
quite well. He first asked me
to join him for tea and then
to return home, for dinner. I
was delighted, for I had al
ways wanted to see the inside
of a Turkish house.
Near Factory
His home was near the fac
tory and consisted of one
room and a kitchen annex.
Mr. Celik lived here with his
wife, two children, his wife's
mother and her sister. First
my shoes came off, then I
mounted the wooden platform
to meet the family. After a
long talk, the wife .brought
out the dining room table, a
large circular tray. The ,tray
was set 'on a block in the
center of the platform and we
all sat down td eat. The men
did, at least. The women ate
afterward.
The Turks, more adept at
the business, knelt at the
table. But I had to squat,
bones protesting. We all dip
ped our spoons into the cen
tral pot, so whatever germs
we two nations had we now
share. No ' ill effects on my
part and none, I hope, on
theirs.
Since I seemed to have be
come Mr. Celik's guest for my
Kayseri stay, he met me' at
the hotel the next morning
and help.ed me to the bus for
the jaunt I was making into
the mountaios. He apologized
for not doing more for me. He
wanted me to send him a let
ter or a newspaper from
America. I hope he is pleas
antly surprised when I send
him a newspaper with his
name in it.
