is to stretch an Army salary.
Johns base pay as a major is
$400.14 a month plus quarters
and some extras such as
length-of-service allowance.
Barbara handles the A.
nances and she budgets her
family with an eye to keeping
it out of debt. She watches
sales, shops carefully and sews
some of the children's clothes.
With so many small children
a washing machine was almost
a necessity but John wouldn't
let his mother and dad give his
family one. Barbara figured
it in their budget.
Barbara is a tall. slim young
woman with brown hair and
hazel eyes. In manner she is
natural and friendly. She has
a quick smile and a sense of
humor that comes in handy.
Her husband is serious, a bit
shy, and wants to make his
way on his own.
ExtrOvert in Family
There is one outright extro-
vert in the family-David, who
is taking everything in stride
including a grandfather in the
White House. He has a crew
cut, roguish brown eyes, a mo-
bile face and an infectious
smile.
David and his sister Bar
bara Anne are driven about 10
miles from Fort Belvoir to st.
Agnes Episcopal School in
Alexandria, Va. Susan now is
in kindergarten on the post.
All three go to Sunday school
on the post.
In addition to a regular boys
interest in horseback riding
and fishing-to his Grandad
Eisenhower's delight-David is
a bug for swimming. Many
Saturdays Barbara brings the
youngsters to Washington
where they have a fine time
in the White House pool. This
gives the Eisenhowers a chance
to see their grandchildren and
it also gives Barbara a
"breather." She gets a chance
to shop, see friends.
Barbara, since she has to
get her Army husband off to
his job and the children to
school, begins her day about
6:45 am. She does the cook
ing and the housework with
the help of a part-time clean
ing maid.

touched by the glamour of the
White House, are prime tar

them, of course there is lot

after braiding or crocheting.
I Just want to say l have

to my letter, wish / could have

have very definite reason for
having them.

them worth the sending.

which is inland. All weather is

between $4.00 and $500 in the
summer. Town is rather small

Declaration Of Policy
Instead of allowing the Presi-
dent to make 10-year commit
ments for economic projects
which cannot be built quickly,
the committee adopted a decla-
ration of policy. 1t set forth the
intention of Congress to continue
a foreign aid program as long as
the security of the United States
makes it necessary.
The difference is that under
this declaration there would be
no commitment by Congress to
a particular amount in future
years. The administration had
intended to earmark 500 million
annually toward long-term prof.
ects.
The committee also voted yes
terday to combine in one fund
the development assistanc e
money to be spent both in Asia
and the Middle East. 1t allowed
an additional 500 million which
the President had requested for
the Middle East, but placed it in
the combined fund with Asia.
The same amendment, however,
requires this aid to be given in
the form of loans or agricultural
commodities rather than as cash
grants

Senator Olin D. Johnston,
Democrat of South Carolina,
says he stands ready to submit
ito the Senate any information
that would justify a refusal to
confirm the judgeship nomina :
ton of Solicitor General Simon
E. Sobeloff.
He made the statement yes
terday to the Senate in urging
"a Judiciary Subcommittee to in

the charges of Charles Shank
rolf. an elderly Baltimore real
estate dealer.
Mr.. Shankroff was dismissed
as a witness at a subcommittee
hearing on May 5 on the ground
that his testimony was irrele-
want and unsupported.
Senator Johnston, however.
told the Senate he regarded the
charges as true and added:
Il stand ready to transmit any
other true statement from any
critic that can be verified to the
subcommittee for its considera-
ton. / stand ready to submit
any evidence of wrongdoing on

Eisenhower Opens
Campaign With
Banquet Speech

WASHINGTON, R-President
Eisenhower has pledged no sur
renders to pressure, brides for
support, escapes from response
bility" in his campaign for re-
election.
Eisenhower urged Republicans
last night to make special drive
to enlist young people in a cam
paign he said must be concerned
with those things which count for
most-people and principles"
Eisenhower was cheered Justify
by 900 COP leaders as he adj
dressed a colorful banquet that
wound up a two-day pre-cam-
paign strategy meeting.
His speech, in effect, was the
opening of his own reelection
effort.
Our aim must be TO convince
every American newly arrived at
voting age that the Republican
party is the party through
which these young citizens aspir-
ations for their country can be
achieved" Eisenhower said.
In sounding a call for what he
termed an organized crusade on
behalf of people and principles,
the President invited aboard Re
publicanS, independents and those
he described as Sound thinking
Democrats" He said 1--WE welcome
them all"
Although this was a party gath
ering, Eisenhower had no harsh
things to say about the Democrats.
In fact, he told the assembled
COP leaders that Democrats, like
Republicans, are loyal to the Unit
ed States, devoted to freedom and
human dignity, and insistent on
national security and the welfare
of the people. He said Republicans
and Democrats differ on methods,
not detectives.
