Ths cups, platters and plates were added to the White House collection by for mer President Truman and the late Franklin D. Roosevelt So far, the Eisenhowers have added only one piece to the collection a Castleton service plate of raised medal lion pattern in pure coin gold. Mrs. Eisenhower has taken a personal hand in rearrang ing the china display in a spe cial room on the ground floor. Last year, at Mrs. Mamie Eisenhower's direction, the room was rearranged with several additions and reclassi fications. representative pieces of china, crystal and silver dat ing back to George Washing ton are arranged against a lighted, dark blue background in chronological order. They are documented historically, with some former errors cor rected on the basis of bills of sales found in recent years. George Washington's ad ministration is represented by a gold and white gravy boat of the state dinner service. The first president ordered it from France. There also is a sugar bowl, cup, saucer and tea pot cover from "the Martha Washing ton state china." It has a chain link border with names of the Union's first 15 states. The most impressive piece is the Dolly Madison punch bowl of elaborately decorated French porcelain about 30 inches high. A White House listing says it is "believed, to be the oldest piece of china having remained in continu ous executive possession since its purchase." Five presidents Andrew Johnson, William Howard Taft, Warren G. Harding, Cal vin Coolidge and Herbert Hoover are not represented in the china collection. They didn't buy any state china during their terms in office. But to round out the collec tion efforts are being made to get family pieces they used while in the White House. Lincoln's administration is represented by pieces from one family and two state ser vices. Included are pieces used by the Civil War presi dent at his summer White House at the U. S. Soldiers' Home. Woodrow Wilson added the first White Housejtate dinner service of American manufac ture a Lenox set decorated in deep blue and gold, each piece bears the personal seal of the President. The set also was used by Harding, Cool idge and Hoover. A recent addition to the china room display is a set of first lady plates represented by the Royal Berlin factory as a tribute to Mrs. Eisenhower, They are decorated with the portraits of 25 first ladies be tween 1789 and 1921, framed by a wide gold border.
