Al- (UPt Tclephoto) Kennedy's Night in Manhattan Turns Out As Average Person's (Editor's note: Merriman Smith, UPI White House re porter, had a rather harrow ing evening in New York Monday night with President elect John R. Kennedy. Ken nedy wanted one more visit to a good restaurant, and one more evening at the theater before adjourning behind the walls of the White House. The evening seemed glamorous to outsiders, but not to those who saw the difficulties Ken nedy encountered along the Gay White Way.) By MERRIMAN SMITH UPI White House Reporter New York (UPI) President elect John F. Kennedy knew Monday night as he flew in his private plane from Boston to New York that he had one more chance for a night on the town in Manhattan. On Jan. 20 he embarks on what he calls "that high and lonely office" of the presi dency. Between now and inau guration, he knew he must devote his time to complet ing his new administration and writing his inaugural address. Against this background, he decided that he wanted to see one more good Broadway show, this time a musical with comedian Phil Silvers, "Do-Re-Mi." He wanted to see the show with his good friend, Grant Stockdale, Mi ami, Fla., real estate man. But there was one drawback: No tickets. . .. At La Guardia Field, press secretary Pierre Salinger popped into a mobile com munications car provided by the New York Telephone Co. and called the St. James Theater. He explained that the President-elect wanted two tickets. The gruff voice on the other end in effect told Salinger to get lost, the place was sold out. A reporter in the car with Salinger called the drama critic of his news organiza tion. The critic had left home to cover a new opening. The critic's wife, however, gal lantly volunteered to call the St. James and tell the man ager that the call from Salin ger was on the level. By this time, Kennedy's four-car motorcade was in Manhattan and having every confidence that his tickets were assured, Kennedy and Stockdale decided to have dinner at one of the President-elect's favorite restau rants, Le Pavilion, They pull ed up in front of the posh establishment. But again, a drawback: Monday night, the place was closed. Then the President-elect thought of another restau rant, but he wasn't quite sure of the name. A Secret Service man tried to find the address of the Kennedy-recommended dining spot in the telephone book. New drawback: No. tele phone listed. It was only 50 minutes be fore curtain time at the St James. . Kennedy directed the mo torcade to "21, another fa mous New York spa and elite feeding establishment. Fortu nately it was open, and the joy of the dinner jacketed maitre d'holel at the front door upon sighting the President-elect vanished rapidly when the restaurant host then saw the accompanying Secret Service men and New York detectives. The reporter call ed the critic's wife again on the car radio-telephone. Joy without end. The theater had tickets. Hold the Curtain Kennedy and Stockdale were a few minutes late, but the by-now grateful manage ment held the curtain. The first floor of the St. James had been sold out to a theater party, but some of the con siderate patrons swapped seats so the President-elect could have two on the aisle, fourth row. There was loud, prolonged applause as he took his seat. Then the lights went down and Kennedy relaxed for the first time since he left the airport. He seemed to enjoy the rollicking comedy of Sil vers and his leading lady, Nancy Walker, as they whirl ed through a musical comedy about the juke box rackets. It was 11:15 p.m. when Kennedy's last relatively free night in Manhattan ended. The next lime he's here, he'll be President. There won't be any question about theater tickets and Le Pavilion will be open, at any hour of the day or night if he so much as drops a hint. But it won't be as much fun. ICA Says There Is No Reason To Call Off Contract Washington-(l'Pll-The Inter national Cooperation Admin istration said Monday there was no justifiable reason for asking South Kocca to call off a SI. 5 million ICA-financed lumber deal with a Japanese firm." An American firm, the Georgia-Pacific Corp., of Port land, Ore., was the second lowest bidder to supply 19' million board-teet of lumber for homeless Korean victims of typhoon ,Sarah. Sen. Wayne Morse (D-Ore.), had asked Secretary of State Christian Herter and the ICA to look into possible irregu larities in the award of the contract. He said he was disturbed by charges that the contract may have been granted to the Japanese firm "under condi tions of kickback." . Explanation Asked Morse asked the ICA to ex plain why the contract had been awarded to Japan de spite a recommendation by the American mission in South Korea that it be can celed. He also questioned the con tract on the grounds that the Japanese firm had not fulfill ed the contract in the time specified, nor with the soft woods called for in the speci fications. The ICA told Morse that it was looking into the alle gations and that it would ask the Korean government to refund the money if the charges were found to be true. However, the ICA said that the contract specifications had provided the substitution of certain hardwoods for soft woods and that the Japanese firm had not asked for any changes in delivery. The ICA added that Presi dent Eisenhower's "buy American" order-an effort to conserve the nation's dwin dling gold reserves-did not apply retroactively to orders such as the Korean lumber contract.
