Maj. and Mrs. John Eisen-
hover are renting a modest
three-bedroom house in the
Braddock Heights section of
Alexandria, The Star learned
today.
The arrival Of the Presi-
dents son and his family
has caused a furry in the
neighborhood since they
moved in early in July.
The President has visited
the brick rambler at least
twice according to a neighbor
who said news Of his pres
ence on those occasions
spread well beyond the block
in which the house is located.
Il know he came out the
afternoon when the cleo
tricity went of in Washing
tongues he wanted to get
cool in his sons air-condi-
toned home. Then he came
again about a week later"
said the neighbor.
NeighbOrs Gather
She added with the Presi-
dent in the vicinity "all the
neighbors came running.
They all had something to
tell you, ask you, or borrow
from you-more than they
had in the last three years
all put together"
There are four houses in
the block-a dead-end street
which insures some privacy.
However, their closeness to
each other makes it impos-
sible for the young EiSen-
howers and their encourage
of Secret Service men to
go unnoticed.
The EiSenhowers rent the
three-year- old brick RAM
bier from an Army lieutenant
colonel. 1t has a living room
with a dining l. of 1t, kitch-
en-. den and recreation room
in addition to the bedrooms
and a screened porch. The
house is fairly modern in
design.
In speaking about the life
in the community now that
they have such important
neiRhbors. one housewife
said. II don't feel we have
much privacy now. The
Secret Service men are very
nice and considerate. There
are about four Of them here

bother me-if l don't feel
like dressing up. I don't and

Then she added with a
laugh, I'VE haven't thrown

In spite of these favorable
factors Mr.. Champion managed
to go down one. OF course he
got some pretty tough defense

Of it the unconscious variety.
Mr.. Meek took a dim view of
his chances of beating four

less. Believing the situation
to be desperate, he decided to

Worry Health Away

All this adds up TO tension.
It puts an awesome load on our

1t makes for turmoil and sick

Lifeboat Drill
There was a lifeboat drill.
This is irritating and impor-
tant. On American ships the
drill is staged shortly after
leaving the first port. On the
Giulio Cesare. the drill came
on the third day.
The idea Of such a drill is
to prevent panic. An alarm is
sounded throughout the ship.
Passengers find orange life
jackets under the beds and put
them on. Each one goes to his
own lifeboat station and waits.
The crew gets into the life
boats and lowers them part
way to make certain that the
chocks are free.
Not so here. We were told To
report to the first-class lounge.
There We stood and sat. Then
the crew herded US onto the
deck. We waited. Then the
loudspeaker told us. first in
Italian and then in English,
that, in the event Of an ac-
cident, the crew would show us
to the proper ifeboatS. This, to
my way of thinking. almost
insures panic.
The food is of the finest.
The dining room stretches
across the ship and the tables
are bright with flowers. The
menu is tantalizing. For the
asking. there is everything from
shrimp to scallopini to steak
to beef Stroganoff and st.
Honore cake. The cake should
be Illegal. 1t is Of four layers.
with heavy filing and a foot
Of whipped cream. Vanilla
cellars are stuck on top.

soul Of discretion. He never

time. He is stout and friendly
and his intentions are OF the

One night. on retiring. I asked
for a pear. Since then. q pear.

in the normal subdivision will
go up about 500 a year in the
next five years-to provide
schools and storm sewers. This
is about SO a month-not bad
