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.

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,

sons since grandma was a

claims tilings ure different

or that she always had snow
for Christmas or pussywillows

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

much use. They are about as
ridiculous as the ones we cer
tainly can't mean when we
say, "I laughed 'til I thought
