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

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

-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! While I was watching my
hat and overcoat like the sign said, somebody stole my steak!"
