MEDFORD MAIL TRIBUNE, MEDFORD, OREGON SUNDAY. MARCH 10. 1963 C 9 Ik Ck Gk K A Washington- Pamela Turnure, Mrs. John F. Kennedy's charming young press secretary, came to her job with no newspaper experience, but has learned a lot about the pres sures of reporters and some of their vernacular. "Off the record" and "no comment" have remained the most useful phrases for Miss Turnure in her touchy job. (UPI) Veterans Awarded Prizes First Lady's Secretary Says Job Has Aged Her By HELEN THOMAS United Press International Washington - (UTO - Pamela Turnure. pretty press sac'c tary to Mrs. John F. Kennedy, is only 25 years old. But after two years as chief spokesman for the First Lady of the land, she is "aging" rapidly. . The authority for this, said as a quip, is Miss Turnure her self. Until two years ago she had no news paper experience. Now she at time handles 50 telephone calls a day from reporters with touchy ques tions about the First Family. She must make hairline de cisions on what is public and what is private information about the President's famous wife and his two children. ; Bridge awards for Febru ary were made recently to .high scoring veterans at the Veterans Administration dom .iciliary, White City.

Then the aging process -brought on by experience -set in. "Knows" B.ttcr "I know Mrs. Kennedy bet ter now," she said. "I know you (reporters) better and I know what 'deadlines' and 'for background only' means." She also said she found out the value of the phrases "no comment" and "off the rec ord." Before being thrust into the spotlight she had only a vague Idea of the use of such journalistic terms. "I expected the interest in the First Lady and Caroline in the beginning." she said. "But it has maintained such a high peak." However, she continued, "Nobody in the White House is sitting still. They are always doing inter esting things." And Pam Turnure herself is someone who has been do ing interesting things for a long time. A brunette, she has hazel green eyes, a photogenic face, and the poise of a model. Her father is Lawrence Turnure, a New York stock broker, and her stepfather is Federick Drake, formed editor-in-chief of Harpers Bazaar. Born in New York, she at tended Bolton Country Day school in Weslport, Conn., spent a year at Colby Junior college at New London, N.H., and a year at Mt. Vernon Junior college. Was Receptionist She wanted to be an inter ior decorator but "I didn't have the temperament for it." She came to Washington and got a job as a receptionist in the office of the then Sen. John F. Kennedy. When the Kennedys moved to the White House, the First Lady asked Pam to come along as her press secretary. "Mrs Kennedy was won derful," said Miss Turnure. "She wrote me a note, setting the guidelines, telling me that some things are public and some are personal. My func tion would be to get out legiti mate information about the White House refurbishing . . . and the social schedule. I was to see that the children were not exploited or used." She has learned that this is easier said than done. The Kennedys are one of the most publicized presidential fami lies in history. Most of tha stories written about them are done without White House blessing. As a refresher, she has oft en referred back to Mrs. Ken nedy's first memo. But as a filter between the First Lady and the press, she has learned there arc questions no one can foresee or even know in advance where the line should be drawn. She found herself denying as "absolutely untrue" stories that the President and Mrs. Kennedy were building a Vir ginia hunt country retreat moments before White House Press Secretary Pierre Salin ger officially confirmed the reports. Sometimes Mrs. Ken nedy has considered a fact so private she has not let her own press spokesman know about it. Forbidden Subjects Forbidden subjects for Pam to discuss with the press arc Caroline's kindergarten class, the First Lady's fox hunting, and non-official doings at the While House. Each morning a White House car arrives at her Georgetown home and takes her to work. Once at her pri vate office in the cast wing, she warily picks up a news paper and turns to the wom en's section to sec what has been written about the Ken ! ncdys. This gives her an idea I about the questions she can ; expect that day. I "Sometimes I get very up : set about a story," she said, j "But Mrs. Kennedy is very philosophical. When it is com 1 pletely inaccurate she will say. 'Can't you get it cor rected'?" Sometimes somewhat the opposite happens. She recalls ; with great embarrassment one of the first press releases she turned out at the White House. The First Lady, sound ing "very enthusiastic," had telephoned about discovering a desk in the White House which had been made from the wood of the British ship H.M.S. Resolute. Mrs. Ken nedy wanted to put the desk in the President's office. "Gosh, thas is exciting." Pamela told the First Lady. She then told the press that a "mysterious find" would be announced the next day. But the next day newsmen discovered that the desk had been used in the broadcast room in the Eisenhower era and that they had seen it many times. "My heavens," Mrs. Ken nedy teased, "it's not that we have found some family skele ton." Pamela also got some gen ; tie ribbing from the Presi dent. She also has found that I there is one occupational haz- i ard whenever she goes to par- "What is Mrs. Kennedy really ties.
