Son
Presidents

By Margaret S. Dickey

Mrs. Joseph Feeney is surround
ed by assistants to President Tru-
man-more Of his advisors are
concentrated in her Chevy Chase
home than any place other than
Blair House.
Mr.. Feeney is the Presidents
Legislative assistant and for long
time he was the undisputed pres
iidential authority in his home.
However, since October, 1850, he
has had to share this honor with
his young son Ricky. who, then.
was appointed by Mr.. Truman to
be his Special White House Squir-
rel Feeder.
Ricky became the youngest
special assistant to the President
the cold October day he observed
to Mr.. Truman that compared to
the fat squirrels in Lafayette Park
his White House squirrels were
scrawny and had thin, lusterless
tails.
Mr.. Truman, concerned by this
invidious comparison of his pri-
vate pets to those Of the public
domain, commissioned Ricky, then
4. to remedy the situation by
personal feelings.
Twice a week since then Ricky
has visited the White House
grounds and nurtured its furry
inhabitants and when he chances
to meet the President he solemnly
briefs him on his progress. Mr..
Truman receives these reports as
seriously as if Ricky were a cab
met member.
And Ricky takes the job as
solemnly as if he were in the
cabinet. He even imports pecan
nuts from Texas in preference
to giving such distinguished crea-
lures mere peanuts.
Ricky at the moment is down
with measles. But the squirrel
lfeedings go on. Like an efficient
executive he has delegated his
authority in this time of emer-
gency to his assistant, his father.
Mr.. Feeney. Now the Presidents
Legislative assistant twice weekly
may be seen scattering carefully
boarded pecans on the White
House lawns.

mere mention that a life-size
man-made donkey with big blue
innocent eyes and beguiling long
Ilashes of burlap threads was avail

drew immediate response from
prominent Democrats. Attorney
General Howard McGrath said
right off, "I'll buy it" and prior
to that Les Biff1e had promptly
asked that nothing be done about
it till he could see it. Mrs. Rob-

at it for fear she'll want to own
him on the spot.
The fact is this donkey would
never have come into being il
the Democrats had had one. The
charming animal was built to
stand in the silver harness of
Gen. George c. Marshall's elabo-
rate Sicilian cart at the Wash
