t MAILTRIIUNE, Meotferd, Or. Backstairs: Ike Angry at Newsmen By MERRIMAN SMITH 'TJPI While House Reporter Augusta, Ga. flIPD B act stairs at the White House: The news photographers seldom have seen President Eisenhower as openly angry as he was here the other day. . It was the day he conferred with the high command of the Defense Department on next year's military budget. The President and Defense Secre tary Neil H. McElroy were walking from the President's office to the trophy room of the Augusta National Golf club where the main meeting was to be held. - When the President saw the newsmen start to snap pic tures of him walking with Mc Zlroy, Eisenhower swore audibly to the secretary, "you'd think those blankety blank men would have enough pictures of me by now." Then, when the President discovered that arrangements had been made to make a group picture of the Defense now you can try it FIRST!

When Eisenhower said curt ly, "I'm not going to have them in the club," the news reel men quickly dissembled their lights grabbed their hand cameras and made pic tures of the group standing outside the building. These .photographers are not particularly delicate or unduly sensitive people. Nei ther are they completely in sensitive. As far as the Wash ington men are concerned, there is no known instance of any camermen trying to in vade the President's privacy at the Augusta National. They eo inside the club only on invitation. ' Thus, it seems only natural that they should be puzzled by the' President's outbursts and scowls in their direction, and all over something a member of his own staff had arranged, apparently in the blissful be lief that this was the way Eisenhower would want it. A President is only human in complaining occasionally about the incessant demands for more and more news picture coverage.
