The TWO cn1c.eSt party Top.
les In town are whether or not
Dwight D. Eisenhower viii run
for a second term. and "the
meeting at the summit"
The first topic is already
causing bookmaking at every
social gathering, though mo-
body expects the President to
announce his intentions for .
good 10 months. For the past
six months Leslie Bifle hasn't
been the slightest bit reluctant
to bet that he won't run again.
and newswoman Isabel Grimm
says she expects to furnish her
new summer cottage at South
Bethany Beach with her win
nings on wagers already made
that Ike is out Of the running.
On the other hand the pro-
Eisenhowers are acting q lot
more conservative. Secretary
for Peace Harold Stassen ven-
tured a whole dollar at the
New Zealand Embassy the
other evening on Ike running
again. And Harry Byrd, jr..
put up a bottle Of champagne
on the same wager at the Har-
old Stuarts' mint julep party.
But this columnist would
like to observe that never has
Dwight Eisenhower seemed so
cheerful at functions as he has
been of late. and it's the same
kind Of weight-of- the shoul-
der cheerfulness that some Of
US observed in Bess Truman
several months before Harry
announced his non-candidacy.
Talking about "the meeting
at the summit" Is also terribly
chic. It indicates a cosmopol-
itan interest in world affairs
and merely discussing its pos
sible locale affords even the
slow-witted endless opportu-
mites for displaying the extent
of their travels.
II the Soviet Ambassador
has the right dope from Mos
COW. the locale topic Is good
for another 10 days. At the
Norwegian Embassy reception
Thursday. I asked Ambassador
zaroubin, will Lausanne be
acceptable to the Russians?"
The ambassador grinned. The
questions of American report
ers must seem prepoSterous to
a Soviet. Even I had to smile.
"Well, then. when do you
think we will know If Lau-
same is acceptable to the
Russians?" This time he was
serious. I'm two weeks" was
his answer.
SECRETARY OF DEFENSE
Charlie Wilson. who has proved
his sense of humor if any man
in Washington has. came up
to Secretary of the Navy Char
lie Thomas the other day.
Now there are three Charles"
observed the former General
Motors boss. Engine Charlie,
electric Charlie and hamburg
er Charlie" ("Electric Charlie"
Wilson of General Electric
served in Washington, too)
THIS is A DASTARDLY
thing to do to President Eisen-
hover. 1t proves that the most
exceptional official in the
country is a typical male when
it comes to women's fashions.
Ever since the mantle Of
standard bearer fell upon Ike,
and his wife gave the press
her first interview in Chicago.
American readers have known
that Mamie Eisenhower IA

While dads busy driving, keep
the youngsters out of his hair
with easy-to-play car games.
This works wonders on a long
vacation drive. The trip will "go
faster" for all. Children get
restless, penned up in q car for
hours on end. They can dissi-
pate their pent-up energy play
ing games. Try these:
License Plates - Players take
turns naming the State Of origin
Of the cars approaching your
car from the opposite direction.
The one who first identifies Is
different State plates wins. This
game has been complicated to-
day by the practice of many
States of issuing only one rear
plate, but an alert youngster can
usually identify a retreating car
plate as the car passes.
Graveyards - Decide on some
object to count - horses, pigs,
cows, etc. Allot to one player
or team one side of the road, the
other side to the other. If cows
are the subject, each player calls
out the number of cows he sees
on his side of the road. When a
graveyard is passed, all the COWS
counted on that side are killed.
and that player has to start all
over again. The count contin-
ues to a specific destination
say the city line of a large city
ahead.
Car Guessing-This has been
o great favorite with children for
years. There are many varia-
tions of it.: Guessing the make of
the next approaching car, guess
ing its color or body type. guess
ing whether the next car will
have white-walled tires, etc. Any
number can play.
What's Ahead? ~ This game
has infinite variations, and will
provide the youngsters with
plenty of excitement. The idea
is TO guess in advance the color
of the house around the next
curve. or the type of curve that
will appear next (T-curve, S.
curve, etc., how far it is to the
next sideroad, the number of
windows on the front side of the
next house, etc. In this game,
the mother should act as score
keeper and arbitrator, and each
Of the children should make up
the next guess in turn. Whoever
guesses most nearly correct wins
and has one point added to his
score.
Song Games-There are a
number Of games that can be
played with popular tunes to
keep youngsters elf-entertained.
One is to have one child hum a
tune, and the others guess its
name. Each child takes his turn
at being the orchestra" An
