Back Stairs: Embarrassing Situation
Bv MERRIMAN SMITH
UPI White House Reporter
Washington - IUPI) - Back
stairs at the White House:
A mildly 'embarrassing situ
ation has developed at the
White House with the arrival
of a bill for former President
Dwight D. Eisenhower's Jan.
17 farewell television address
to the nation.
It certainly is not the busi
ness of President Kennedy's
administration which has its
own pre-inaugural bills to
worry about, but last week
the Tcleprompter Corp. of
New York submitted a bill to
the White House for $412.23
covering "services rendered"
for the telecast of the former
President. :
The bill itemizes such en
tries as cabs, tips, meals and
transportation, for the men
who operated the tclepromp
ter, an electronic device
which unreels a speech text at
a position Just above the TV
camera lenses.
The corporation made no
charge for. use. of its equip
ment; just expenses of the
operating crew. In addition to
the charges; George Kassl
matis, New York manager of
Telcprompter, enclosed for the
Kennedy administration a pic
ture of the Eisenhower broad
cast and an advertising news
letter proudly proclaiming
"Tcleprompter" lends "inti
mate' appearance to Ike's TV
farewell."
All of which poses a curious
situation for the current oc
cupants of the White House.
To whom do they send the
bill? It is doubtful that it
probably will be referred to
the local office of the former
President. It is doubtful that
office has funds to pay the
expense because the expense
was incurred while Eisenhow
er was in office. Federal funds
for retired Presidents are ap
propriated for office expenses
after they leave the White
House.
Thus, if the bill is paid, the
money might have to come
from Eisenhower's personal
funds. .
'
A somewhat unreconstruct
ed member of the White
House press party checked in
for the first time at the Red
Fox tavern, the small inn at
Middleburg, Va, where the
Kennedys have leased an
estate. The traveler gazed in
awe at an ante-bellum four
posted bed with its high, white
and lacy canopy and in
quired, "Who sleeps in the
crazy upper?"
.
Sunday dinner business at
the picturesque and ancient
Red Fox was zoomed upward
with sightseeing motorists
from Washington and nearby
towns . driving through the
hunt country of Virginia in
the hope of glimpsing the
Kennedy family. Not much
chance, however, because
Glen Ora, the Kennedy estate,
is off the main highways and
reachable only by a narrow
dirt road that turns into a
deadly car trap with the snow,
rain and mud of winter.
Homer Gruenther, a promi
nent Republican, administra
tive assistant and congression
al liaison man in the Eisen
hower administration, has
been kept on at the White
House by the Kennedy admin
istration. Gruenther, an affable, smil
ing man and brother of Gen.
Alfred M. Gruenther, head of
the American Red Cross, cur
rently is acting as sort of a
host and While House tour
director with headquarters in
the East Wing of the execu
tive establishment.
, . . ,
Someone aparently tried to
light a fire recently in Presi
dent Kennedy's office fire
place without checking first to
see whether the flue was open.
The other day a visitor noticed
the neatly laid logs in the fire
place and spotted on one log a
primy written note, "Damper
is closed -do not light fire
until damper is open."'

The "second" home, much
like the second car, is fast
becoming an established ,fact
of American family life.
Whether for lakeside or
mountains, desert, winter
sports or beach, this new type
of holiday home is ideal for
vacations, long week ends or
for simply getting away from
it nil.
This "second" home could
well develop into a family
do-it-yourself project. If so,
the cost of construction could
be reduced nearly 50 per cent,

building this design for use
as . a year-round retirement
home. Others might be inter

during part of the year ana
using It, themselves during
the "off-season" and in this
way, pay for the house in a
few years.
Instead of designing a home
with a small living room and
bedroom, we have combined
these two rooms into one
large all-purpose room. Sofas
that easily convert into beds
could , be used in furnishing
this room. A wtde fireplace
is on one wall of :the "all-

A bar is provided next to

that the size of the kitchen
is much larger than is usually

labor-saving devices and built-

ample wardrobe space plus a
dressing table and a wide
linen closet. The bath features
an enclosed tub with shower

The striking rustic exterior
features a stone wall and

Central Africa Federation
Calls Out Reservist Force
Salisbury, Southern Rho
desia - IUPD - The Central Af
rican Federation Is on a vir
tual war footing to guard
against possible violence over
a white leader's rejection of
proposals to increase the
voting power of blacks in
Northern Rhodesia.
An estimated 3,000 re
servists were ordered to active
duty in Southern Rhodesia,
adding to troops already mobi
lized in Northern Rhodesia.
The two Rhodesias and Nyasa
land form the federation, a
British territory.
Reservists Called Out
Sir Roy Welensky, the white
federal prime minister, called
out the reservists after reject
ing Britain's proposals for a
new, Northern Rhodesian con
stitution. He said the pro
posals would give . effective
control to African extremists.
There were fears that wide
spread African unrest over
the con stitutional question
would erupt into violence in
mineral-rich Northern Rho
desia, which borders the turb
ulent Congo. White and black
extremists have exchanged
threats during the past week.
Blacks outnumber whites in
Northern Rhodesia about 2.2
million to 70,000. African na
tionalist . leaders oppose the
proposals b e c a use blacks
would be denied their demand
for a fixed majority in the
local Parliament.
Grave Crisis
The situation created 1 a
grave crisis for the British
government of Prime Minister
Harold Macmillan. Opposition
Laborites demanded more
votes for blacks, while some
of Macmillan's conservative
colleagues insisted the pro
posals give them too much
power. - v
The reservists called to
duty included four battalions
of the Royal Rhodesian Regi
ment plus several support and
supply units.
The plan outlined by British
Colonial Secretary Iain Mac-

voting privileges to 80,000
blacks instead of the present
10,000. Voting franchise
would be based on property
holding, income and level of
education.
Welensky said that would
give the conduct of elections
from responsible to irresponsi
ble voters.
