The Cabinet Dimes
AT the White House
BY Isabelle Shelton

It was touch and go for a
while yesterday whether all of
President Eisenhower's cabinet
would be on hand for last
nights White House state din
ner in their honor.
They all made it, though,
thanks to clearing skies and
speedy airplanes, and arrived
the proper 10 to Is minutes
before the appointed hour of
8 o'clock. (This is proper eti-
quette for a White House din
ner. All guests are supposed
to be assembled in the East
Room when the President and
his wife come downstairs
promptly at 8 o'clock.)
Secretary of the Treasury
and Mrs. George Humphrey
flew in in midafternoon from
Venezuela, where they had
gone after the Secretary at
tended the economic confer
ence in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil.
Secretary Of Agriculture and
Mrs. Benson, who were in Chi
cago where the Secretary made
a speech at noon, reached their
house shortly before 6 o'clock.
The United States Ambassador
to the United Nations and Mrs.
Henry Cabot Lodge arrived
about 6 from New York.
The Attorney General and
Mrs. Brownell, who arrived
back last Saturday from Bra
zil and Peru, also were full of
travel news. Mrs. Brownell
says she fell in love with both
countries, would like to go
back there and live"
Special Occasion
Yesterdays dinner was
rather special for the Presi-
dent and his official family.
Although members of the cab
met attend several dinners
each year at the White House,
yesterdays was the one-a-year
given especially in their honor.
The cabinet wives saved
their most festive costumes for
the occasion. several of them
new. Mrs. Dulles, wife of the
Secretary of State, wore a
simply-cut purple silk taffeta
with round neckline and far
ing skirt.
Mrs. Humphrey and Mrs.
Lodge both chose white bro
cade. The formers, which was
embroidered in delicate pink,
had an off -the-shoulder neck
line, cap sleeves and a train.
With it Mrs. Humphrey wore.
pearls, a diamond and ruby
brooch and a diamond brace
let. Mrs. Lodges gown was
embroidered with gold daisies,
and she wore a white chiffon
scarf.
Mrs. Charles E. Wilson, wife
Of the Secretary of Defense,
wore a new full-skirted Dior
gown of gold peau de sole, with
bodice trimmed with crystal
beads and pearls. With it, she
wore a gold net stole.
Mrs. Brownell was all in
red-a draped silk taffeta dress
with round neck and cap
sleeves and matching red gloves
and shoes.
A beige pink satin frock with
pale blue panel and hustle in
the back and jeweled shoulder
straps was the choice of Mrs.
Arthur Summerfield, wife of
the Postmaster General. With
it she wore pearls and a dia-
mond pin.
Mrs. Douglas Mckay, wife
of the Secretary of the Int
rior, was in ciel blue chiffon
with a heavily silver-beaded
bodice. empire Waistline and

suite which would eliminate re-
quired locker rooms.
Following its policy of refusing
new rooming house permits other
than along Euclid ave., the board
rejected request for a 10-roomer
permit at 1927 lakewood ave. The
property has always been a priv
ate home.
Previously the city has indicated
that these large homes could be
converted into two-family dwell
ings, if done according to code. 1t

houses on strictly residential
streets.

New Car Takes Family Of Six
On Long Planned Vacation Trip

Many East Clevelanders and
other Little League and Pony
League boosters have been wonder
ing about the outcome of a recent
drive to provide funds for equip
ment to be used in the Pony, Little
and Minor Leagues in East Cleve-
land. A new 1854 Chevrolet Sc
dan was the ultimate goal of al
most 1000 generous people who
purchased tickets to promote this
worthy cause.
Excited and appreciative over
the Fund Drive was Michael G.
Palevich, who lives at 38670 John
ny Cake Ridge rd. in Willoughby,
Ohio. Mr.. Palevich was so thrilled
when informed that he was select
ed as owner of the new car that he
thought at first that it was just a
joke. However, he was assured by
DR.. William E. Morris, Chairman,
that it was "for real"

Playground
Voted Out

With too many odds against it,
the City Commission Tuesday
night decided against establishing
a small children's playground on
East 133rd st. Petitions for and
against the playground were filed
with the Commission.
The action followed a report of
the study of the question made by
City Manager Chas. A. Carran who
said he had also consulted play
ground authorities in making the
survey.
The first handicap, stated the
City Manager is in the fact that
the desired ground is available
only on a month to month basis. 1t
is a part of the holdings of the
Builders Hardware & Supply Co.
With such uncertain tenure, he
deemed it inadvisable for the city
to spend the estimated $4,000
needed to set back the present high
wooden fence, erect new fence
along the sidewalk, grade the
ground and provide the equipment.
The size of the site is also
against it, said Mr.. Carran. The
lot measures 50x120 feet, which is
too small to warrant paid super
vision. Any other type of super
vision, according to playground
authorities, would prove unsatis-
factory.
The location of the ground, prac-
tically on the city's edge, it was
pointed out, would draw children
from Cleveland as we'll as from
East Cleveland, tending to over
crowd the playground.
Taking into consideration all
factors, the Commission accepted
the recommendation.

Quotes On All
.EyegIass Sales

Following a pattern being set by
other Ohio municipalities, the East
Cleveland City Commission Tues
day evening enacted emergency
legislation prohibiting the adver-
tising of the sale price of eye
glasses. The measure specifically
separates the lense from the
mounting or frame.
The ordinance, given unanimous
vote, also penalties any misrep-
resentation in advertising eye
glasses, frames, mountings, serv-
ices or credit terms associated
with any sale.

500 or 80 days, or both for each

Plea Brings
Amendment

Of the eight cases listed on the
agenda for the Tuesday, July 18th
meeting of the East Cleveland
Zoning Board of Appeals, one was
approved, three were rejected, two
were granted temporarily, and one
was tabled pending further study
The board requested inspection OF
three buildings, following COM
plants.
Request of the Blumel Ignition
Co., 14201 Euclid ave. to add Ger.
tain services to it's business was
tabled. During the discussion NAL
colin S. Douglass, city engineer re-
ported that survey of so gas
stations revealed that 81 per cent
were offering wheel alignment
service and 60 per cent were offer
ing brake lining service, all in
violation of the zoning ordinance.
In the evening the matter was
brought to the attention of the
City Commission which agreed to
amend the ordinance to permit
these new routine inspections by
gas stations. 1t indicated however,
that all heavier and more intricate
work would be limited to regular
garage repair shops which would
be better equipped to handle such
jobs and which would have space
for parking cars being thus serv-
iced.
The amendment was ordered in
for passage at the next commission
meeting. AS President Richard
Horan put it: "We must keep legis-
lation in line with the times"
Approved was the request of the
Memorial Auto Livery to add a
motorcycle to its equipment which
since 1948 has been permitted to
occupy garage at the rear of
13810-12 Orinoco ave.
Rejected was the second plea of
Lillian Casalicchio to build a two
story addition to the front of
her house at 14432 Euclid ave. The
first floor was to be used as a
floral shop and the second floor
was to provide additional living
nuartars for the nresent dwelling
to which the addition was to be
attached. Three families occupy
the house. Refusal was based on
fire district regulations and park
ing requirements.
Rejected was a plea of Mrs. Sam
Sudak, 3815 Bedemeer st. for ad-
dition of suite in her apartment
building at 1925 Second ave. Re-
lection was based on inadequate
parking and the location of the

Sports Shows


Filled to the brim. Such is the
biggest, gayest picnic pot pourri
to be cooked up in the twenty-four
years of East Cleveland Commu-
| nifty Picnic history. This 1854 re-
cipe will be served at Euclid Beach
Park this coming Wednesday,
July 21st. From the arrival of
the first eager picnicker to the last
! "Good Night" it will be day long
to be remembered and some
thing for next years committee to
shoot at.
There are several new ingredi-
ents in the days program, but the
most unexpected is the gay and ex-
citing band and show which disc
jockey Bill Randle has informed
General Chairman Bob Stratton jr.
He is bringing to the park. Bill
and his WERE mike are familiar
figures at East Cleveland outings.
Now he is putting another layer
on the entertainment cake.
At this time Randle, nationally
famous disc jockey, was unable to
tell just who would be in the
troupe-but he promises a gay
array of top flight radio stars.
In addition there are two other
positively new features. They will
both take place on the Platform.
The evening program is to open
with the Presentation of the Colors
by the Color Guard of East Cleve-
land Post No. 1900 VFW, whose
active member is the Hayden Ave
nue. picnic chairman, none other
than Ed Paul.
The other new, for the trio, will
be the awarding of the Citizens
Award by Platform Chairman DR..
R. John Stahl. The winner is being
chosen from among the applicants
named by East Clevelanders who
have been asked to send in their
choice. This selection of an out
standing citizen for community
service recognition is being spon-
sored by the East Cleveland Busi-
ness Association.
There will be three ball games
to add to the days fun. The Little
League stages a 12-year-old game
between Shaw-Superior teams at 2
p. m. At 400 the old ball lot will
be invaded by the friendly enemies,
the Exchange and Kiwanis teams.
At pm. the regularly scheduled
Wednesday Pony League game
will be played at the park.
