Back Stairs: Bolts of Rifles. Opened By MERRIMAN SMITH UPI While House Reporter Washington-CPD-Back stairs at the White House: At a military burial service like the one for John Foster Dulles last week, the firing of three rifle volleys over the grave is a tradition. It also is routine, but not when the President is there. Shortly before President Eisenhower arrived in Arling ton National cemetery, a Se cret Service agent walked up to the seven riflemen who were to fire the volley from a spot about 50 yards from where Eisenhower was to sit. Cartridges Checked He asked each soldier to open the bolt of his M-l rifle so he could assure himself the weapons contained blank Cartridges only. An Army offi cer commanding the detail Also demonstrated for the agent that the angle of fire, eves with blanks, would be virtually straight up. Such precautions always are taken when firearms are to be used for any purpose in the vicinity of any president, be it a funeral or a patade. No matter hew trustworthy, the Secret Service does not like the idea ol anybody hav ing live ammunition near the Chief Executive. Anyone. That is, except the agents themselves. They, of course, carry live ammunition for the revolvers in their shoulder holsters. Sat Without Motion Seldom has Eisenhower seemed more grim than he was at the Dulles funeral. He sat beside the grave, virtual ly without motion, his arms folded across his lap, and his eyes staring straight ahead across the top of the flag- draped casket. This was a difficult moment for him, but he must have sensed how even more diffi cult it was for Mrs. Dulles. The moment the service ended, Eisenhower arose and started to walk over to the Secretary's widow to offer his condolences. But Ambassador Guillermo Sevilla - Sacasa of Nicaragua, dean of the diplo matic corps, darted ahead of Eisenhower to take Mrs. Dul les' hand. Breach Unnoticed The President seemed not to notice this apparent breach of protocol by an old diplo matic hand. He stood there Quotes From the News By UNITED PRESS INTERNATIONAL , Chicago-The National Safety council, on the record num ber of Memorial holiday highway deaths: "It it no explanation to say Memorial day is the start of the vacation season.

Reed, Washington zoo director, on efforts to capture an elusive black bear roaming the nation's capital: "The trouble is we don't know where he is or where he's : going to be." momentarily, staring at the ground. When Sacasa moved on. Eisenhower stepped quick ly to Mrs. Dulles' side, put one hand on her shoulder in half-embrace and whispered. Then the President started for his waiting limousine, al most leaving Mrs. Eisenhower in the tangled crowd of dig nitaries. He seemed to want to leave the scene of sadness as pidly as possible. Neuberger Raps Administration On School Issue Washington - Sen.- Richard L. Neuberger (D-Ore.) today charged the Eisenhower ad ministration with "political schizophrenia" on educational issues. "President Eisenhower has called for the 'strengthening of all education' to meet the domestic 'and international challenge ' of our schools," Neuberger said. "He stressed the importance of raising the standing of teachers and stat ed that higher salaries for teachers are a first require ment. "But administration o f f i cials have steadfastly resisted efforts to enact the Murray Metcalf bill which would per mit the states to raise teach ers' salaries and construct needed classrooms," the Ore gon Senator pointed out in a speech prepared for . Senate delivery. Objectives 'Laudable' The Senator quoted from a statement issued by President Eisenhower last week in con nection with a report pre pared by the President's Sci ence Advisory committee. He said the President's objectives "are laudable, but I regret that the administration has not seen fit to back legislation which would aid in making these worthwhile goals be come reality." Neuberger also noted that HEW Secretary , Arthur S. Flemming has sent to Con gress "legislation' to reduce drastically aid to school dis tricts which face unusual de mands upon their facilities due to the impact of Federal workers' families. This action was taken at a time when many state and local govern ments are searching desper ately to find new revenue sources to finance an ade quate educational program for a burgeoning school popu lace." t lUl.- mow to to be 05 Without Naff Trying...

The Commission also order ed signs placed at points of entry into Oregon saying: "Designated speed 55 miles per hour unless otherwise posted." 70 Mile Limit The. new-four lane section of Highway 99 between Al bany and Salem will be post ed for 70 miles an hour.

Engineer .V. .C- Williams said the big nap signs at the junction of Salem business routes violate a federal law. The law says directional or informational signs must not be so complex as to require motorists to stop. Williams also said Oregon may have to stop use of such designations as Baldock or Banfield freeways because of a federal law which says des- Try and Stop Me -By BENNETT CERF- TT7HEN MIKE ROMANOFF, Hollywood restaurateur,, read ' that 87 per cent of the nation's businessmen gulped down mashed potatoes, fried foods or both for luncheon meetings every day, he shuddered, and issued this directive forthwith, designed to keep those executive stomachs within bounds: 1. Eat a sandwich and drink a glass of milk before attending the luncheon. Then just pick at your food. 2. Say you're on a strict diet and demand two poached eggs. 3. Slip the waiter , a bill and have him sneak you a lamb chop instead of the prepared indigestion- provoker. 4. Arrive late just in time for eoffee. 5. Eat at Mike's. It was a visibly shaken customer who clutched the coattail of a passing underling and quavered, "Waiter!
