President Will Dine
In White House Toda,
After 3-Year Wait

President and Mrs. Truman will
have dinner in the White House
tonight for the first time In over
three years.
The President is due back from
Key West just at dinner time. Mrs.
Truman by then will be already
moved in. And Blair House then
will be ready to revert to its old
role of a guest house for diStin-
guished visitors.
Mr.. Truman is scheduled to
take off from Florida in mid
afternoon. Mrs. Truman prob
ably will meet him at the airport
something she rarely does-and
the Presidential couple then will
drive directly to the White House
front entrance. a spokesman said.
LaSt-Minute Preparations.
The renovated mansion hummed
with last-minute preparations to-
day. Yesterday workmen finished
putting screens on the windows
and doors. Today staff members
were busy inside making every
thing spic and span.
Mrs. Truman was expected to
move over from Blair House some-
time during the day.
Mrs. David w. Wallace, Mrs.
Truman's mother, also is moving
over to the White House today.
She has been staying with the
Trumans at Blair House.
Almost all the White House fur
nishings used there already have
been moved.
First Inspection Tonight.
The President undoubtedly will
take a look around the man
sion's new interior tonight, a
spokesman said. It'll be his first
inspection since the furnishings
were installed.
Congress and group of news
women got a jump on him last
Sunday, when the doors were
opened to them for a preview.
The President will find some
improvements of special interest.
There are two brand-new tele-
vision sets-one in his study, the
other in the second-f1 floor presi-
dental family living room.
And in the windows Of Mr..
Truman's west-wing Office bullet
proof glass has been installed.
This move, taken on it's own initi-
ative by the secret service, recalls
the attempt on the Presidents
life two yeras ago.
improvements to Grounds.
Tomorrow morning, the Presi-
dent may well take a look over the
refurbiShed grounds. He'll find
many improvements, including
new grass, trees and flower beds.
More than 10000 tulips have
been planted in the front and
back yards in honor of the April
2 arrival of the Netherlands
Queen Juliana. It's not certain
whether they'll be in bloom by
then, but another 1000 have been
readied for display indoors.
Workmen yesterday planted
more than 500 pansies in a bed
near the fence along Pennsylvania
avenue. There also is a new rose
garden back of the Presidents Of
flee and a new azalea bed near
the east wing.
A new magnolia tree also was
planted in the front yard yester-
day.
Barricades Will Go.
With the White House reoccu-
pied, the Secret Service will per-
nit the barricades to be taken
away from the front of Blair
House. Sidewalks will be reopened
and streetcar- loading platforms
returned.
Reopening Of West Executive
avenue hasn't been decided on yet.

new-old home. It's trimmer than
