Back Stairs: A By MERHIMAN SMITH "UPI White House Reporter " Washington - IUPII - Back ilairs at the White House: Attending banquets is one of the major indoor sports of Washington and those who attend these crowded eating affairs seldom realize the plan ning that goes on in the back ground, particularly when a President of the United States Is the ranking guest. President Eisenhower last week attended a big dinner given in his honor by two or ganizations supporting his for eign aid program, the Com mittee for International Econ omic Growth and the Com mittee to Strengthen the Frontiers of Freedom. Large Staff Assigned : There were about 1,100 guests Involved and to keep the proceedings moving u imoothly as possible, the din ner ' committee assigned a rather large staff, Including Some oemjuiui jmi ,.,..,. to circulate among the arriv- Ing ladies and gentlemen, and I ateer them to vneir seais. A formidable memorandum was circulated among the wel coining staif giving advice and instructions on how to cope with the situation. One order aaid: "If anyone does not have ticket, give one immediate ly, with no questions. Every person inside is supposed to have paid or Is a free guest. To avoid i embarrassment to free guests, give out tickets freely." Then th Instructions got just a bit more forceful as the committee members worried about how to have the au dience in place by the time the President arrived. Said the battle orders for the evening: Mot Discourteous - "Attention: Hosti and hos tesses. Keep pushing people Into their seats, urge them to be seated, not to stand at their tables, it is not discourteous to ait while others are coming." And apparently by banquet standards, it is not discour teous to "keep pushing people into their seats." To heck with Emily Post. The President Is on the way and we don't want a lot of Jokers standing around in the aisles when the band starts playing r u f f 1 e and flourishes. : The banquet orders also Considered another situation drinking. The mimeographed memo said: "Drinks may be ordered at tables (each per son paying for his own). Urge oeople to drink there, not at the bar, they may miss the opening if they go to the bar." Army Proud ; The Army spent an untold amount of money last week alaging a show at Kort Ben ning, Ga., for the President and a large group of defense Industry executives. The show was a massive demonstration of new equipment for the In fantry and the Army was ex ceedingly proud.

White House reporters went with the President to Fort Benning aboard a commercial airliner chartered by their companies. But the whole affair turn ed out to be less than a pub licity smash. The President delivered a stirring speech, the Army fired some of its best missiles, Thousands of words were written. Thous ands of feet of film were made for television. But two Army officers who had nothing to do whatever with public relations stepped into the situation, held up the news stories for several hours Salem - HIPI) - Gov.

There is reason to believe that the While House is far from happy about the results. Incident Recalls Khrushchev Remark Washington - (UPI) - The U.S. spy plane incident recalled a je.sting remark by Soviet Pre mier Nikita Khrushchev dur ing his visit here last Septem ber. Khrushchev met Allen W. Dulles, director of the Central Intelligence Agency. He told Dulles that he had read U.S. Intelligence reports. Khrushchev then quipped: "I think we have the same agents in the same phves. Maybe we should get together and save money by not paying them twice." MAIL TlONI, 6 A Change in th. Weather? No, Only Inadequate Memory "I've lived here all my life and I never saw a hotter sum mer." "This is the coldest winter I have ever lived through." "I never saw it rain so hard before; this is the strongest wind I ever felt." All the.se expressions and many more like them have been used so many times they should have been discarded years ago. These observations do not prove a change has occurred in the weather. They only prove the inadequancy of our memory. The weather is unreasonable constant from one year's end to another. The snow is no deeper, water little higher, or lower; and it won't be much different in the year ahead. Firing an atom bomb hasn't changed the thing at all. Could Be Correct We make these remarks perhaps to fill In a break in the conversation or to lead others to believe an unusual condition exists. Of course if the man had said, "This is the hottest day this month," or this the hardest rain ever occurring on August 2 or July 4, he could easily be correct. Perhaps on some certain date, there was a hot or a cold day that may have established a record, but usually a specific date is never mentioned. The remarks are general and cov er an entire year, and they are 99 per cent wrong. As for the climate of a full season the weather records show a pretty level constancy. The figures average up from year to year, and there doesn't seem to be over seven cents worth of difference. If it is dry during the winter, exces sive rain may fall during the spring or summer. There may be even floods, but the level remains pretty constant. Even the temperature range follows a prescribed curve', almost like it was in a long rut. No Radical Changes The records also seem to A car on vacation is rarely idle. Mostly it is in a hnrry to get from A to B, and naturally, on the least amount of gasoline. Shell research men (1 in every 16 Shell employees is engaged in research) know how to give you really good mileage: It may pay you to try Super Shell with TCPadditive. You'll discover how far you can go on a gallon and what's more, how smooth your car can run. Your Shell dealer is the man to see, . TutWay, My MM Small Worlds Around Us By Lynn M. Watkins indicate that there have been no radical changes in the sea sons since grandma was a small girls. If Aunt Maude claims tilings ure different now than when she was a girl or that she always had snow for Christmas or pussywillows for early April, she has for gotten the times when the ground was bare or when the willows blossomed a little late. It's easier to forget than to remember. It's going to be hot again. It's going to snow hard many more times. There are going to be hurricanes, tornadoes and sand storms. And the chances are that after the records are all in, it was not such an unusual season after all. Most of the old expressions regarding the weather are pretty moth eaten and worn out with too much use. They are about as ridiculous as the ones we cer tainly can't mean when we say, "I laughed 'til I thought I'd die."
