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.
