Hoover Liked Fishing
Herbert Hoover did not like to
travel and, some said, did not
like people. His chief trips were
to his Rapidan fishing camp in
nearby Virginia. Coincidentally
one Of the Democratic COM
plants against him was that he
did not get out of Washington
enough to see the people.

White House. his Hyde Park,

at Warm Springs, Ca, where he
died. Mr.. Roosevelt had no
trouble with public complaint
about "absenteeism";; the claimed
requirements of wartime ''se-
curity" cloaked all his move
ments and. in general, newspaper
readers knew little about his
travels.
Truman Used Yacht
Unlike his two predecessors.
Harry Truman had no regular
week end retreat spot. Instead,
he used the White House yacht

with his friends, and resting.

year.
So far, in the first four months
Iof his fifth White House year
Mr.. Eisenhower has taken nine
weekend or longer jaunts that
totaled 11,429 miles and have
kept him away from Washing
ton for as days.
In summary, the figures show
that Franklin Roosevelt was
away an average two days a
year more than was Mr.. Eisen-
hover in his first term. Elimi-
nation of the SO days in 1855
when President Eisenhower was
first hospitalized in Denver and
later convalesced from his heart
attack in Gettysburg. and Key
West. Fla, his absence average
drops to 112 per year and thus
below Mr.. Taft as well as Mr..
Roosevelt.
BY years, the specific absence
totals for President Eisenhower
have been: 1854 days; 1854

Teen-Age Tourists Keep
White House in Uproor

Some remember that Nom and
Dad once shook a Presidents
hand when they sight-saw the
White House away back yonder.
Well, President Eisenhower is
working In the office wing, far
too busy with national and inter-
national affairs to shake 10000
to $4,000 hands Of future voters
every morning. Or. as during
the past week. he's not in WASH
ington.
Mamie Eisenhower Is upstairs
on the second floor usually. in

wrestling with the days mail. It
seems that the First Lady's mail
has grown to horrendous proper

morning just to sort through her
correspondence.
The prize query Of all came
from q boy from the Midwest
last week who was especially In
terested in the squirrels making
themselves at home on the White
House lawn.
Those are English squirrels"
said the lad to q bevy Of teen
age cronies. Ike brought EN-
over from England after the war
and let 'em loose here"
Just then. the amateur guide
noted the eye Of q White House
guard upon him.
well. isn't that SOP" he de-
manded belligerently.
Afraid not" said the guard.
Actually, those squirrels have
bean here a lot longer than Pres
ident Eisenhower or any other
President. They are about the
only permanent residents at the
White House. Those you see are
the same family Of squirrels that
took up residence in the White
House trees when the White
House. was first occupied. back in
1900 by President John Adams"

BY DOROTHY McCARDLE

The White House has got its
teen-age problems these days.
This year has seen the great
est hordes in history Of Ameri-
can high school sight-seers in
the home Of the President. One
day last week, the all-time high
of more than 10000 young peo-
pie thronged the public rooms
during the two-hour visiting pc
Rod.
This has added to the head
aches of White House guards. Of
course. The don't touch" rule
is the one most often broken.
When these teen-agers were
kids. Mother was often distracted
cautioning them mot to touch. /"
Now that they are big and have
come to Washington. White
House guards know just how
Mother used to feel. They have
posted signs and implore aloud
umpteen times a morning that
the youthful visitors keep dirty
hands of the upholstered furni-
ture and the silk damask cover
ing of the red. green, and blue
rooms. The instant the noon
closing hour arrives, guards rush
for the cleaning fluid to remove
those soiled smudges.
Other Signs Ignored
This younger generation has
its own ways Of thwarting other
big signs during the sightseeing
period. The signs say no smok-
ing and no picture taking.
Well. nobody smokes, but
everybody takes pictures! Every
incoming teen-ager seems to
have a miniature camera con-
cealed beneath a necktie or in
the palm Of q sweaty hand or
else a bog camera swinging by
a cord around his or her neck.
While the guards are busy with
the throngs UP ahead, the smart
cookies from New York or Chi
cago or Timbuctu high schools
snap an intimate closeup of
the most famous house in the
land. They think they've put
over something pretty clever on
the guards. too. But, brother.
are they ever wrong!
The truth is that they have
not really sampled forbidden
pleasure. The White House is
not the Kremlin and picture tax
ing involves no security at all.
Picture taking has only been
made taboo since the crowds be-
came so great. The amateur
photographers slowed the prog
ress Of the moving lines too
much.
But nobody cares at all II
they snap pictures just as long
as they don't delay things" said
one guard.
Guards are Grilled
AS for questions with which
the teen-agers third-degree the
guards: Most everybody wants
to know where the President and
Mrs. Eisenhower are. anyway.

Gov. Collins has Said that
in Florida and many sections
of the South where the people
are not prepared psychology

But he declared it would be

With Collins backing, the

opposed an interposition reso-
