D. c. Guordsmen Would Adopt Dog
Thot Evoked Presidential Laughter

The District National Guard
wants to adopt for a mascot the
little white dog that brought
President Eisenhower to his feet
roaring with laughter as the In
augural Parade passed the re-
viewing stand.
Col. George Selwyn of 900
Churchill road, Mclean, Va.
commanding officer of the 260th
Anti-Aircraft Group. DONG,
said the dog didn't belong to
anyone in his unit, but he wishes
lit did.
He said the dog joined the
Guardsmen in the assembly area
before the parade and, as thou
sands of spectators know,
marched all the way with the
local troops. Col. Selwyn said the
dog left them when they boarded
trucks at 22nd and E streets NV.
II saw President Eisenhower
Jump to his feet laughing and
pointing as we marched by" Col.
|Selwyn said. II didn't think he
was laughing at us. Then real
lied it was this little dog"
Not only did the President
climb to his feet. Some say he
threw a salute at the animal.
Bystanders saw the President
tell Mrs. Eisenhower, and she
also rose laughing to her feet. So
did Mrs. Nixon.
Most observers agree the dog
wore a color under his brown
ears. He can join the District
National Guard if he's tired of
his present home.

Work of President
The evolution has been the
work of President Eisenhower as
well as of Mr.. Nixon. he said.
The President. who largely de-
termines how important shall
be the duties of his Vice Presi-
dent. has given Mr.. Nixon great
er power and authority than
have been possessed by any
earlier Vice President.

said. "the Vice President can
make policy-making contribu-
ton to the administration"
II approach this next -four
years with some very definite
responsibilities and also know
ing that / will be doing some
thing more substantial than
acting as a f1gurehead in pre-
siding over the Senate"
Mr.. Nixon has been the ad-
ministration's spokesman on
many occasions, often in visits
to foreign countries, and has par
ticipated in meetings of the
Cabinet and the National Sc
curity Council, at the direction
of the President. Mr.. Nixon said
yesterday that the result has
been an accretion of invaluable
experiences.
