truck driver for 10 years. I
am not the suspicious type,
but listen to this: The other
night he came of the road
with two long scratches on
his left hip. They were fairly
deep scratches. yet his trous-
ers were not ripped.
When I asked him how it
happened. he said it was prob
ably from a feather in the
bed. Now, Abby, I love my
husband and I am not looking
for any trouble, but do they
still have feather beds in
modern motels? And could
anyone get scratched like this
from q feather?

REPORTER
A Presidents Secrets

The Eisenhowers are pack
ing. On the second floor. the
golf clubs stand against a
wall; on the opposite side.
M/Sergt. Moaney sets the
paints and the canvases to-
gether. His wife dusts in the
front room. and does little
things for Mrs. Eisenhower.
1t must be doubly sad for
Mrs. Eisenhower because her
mother used to occupy the
room across the hall on the
second floor.
Often, the President and
his wife and mother -in-law
had dinner In the hall. These
we're the relaxed dinners
when any Of the three could
say anything that came to
mind without pausing to
think. They are gone. They
will not return.
Once, when I spent q few
days In the White House re-
searching a magazine article
about the President. I had a
little trouble with Sergt.
Moaney. He Is q Negro and,
in some ways. Is closer to the
President than his Cabinet.
Mr.. Moaney is Eisenhower's
valet. He has had the Job
since Ike was a colonel in
Louisiana.
The article was for Co.'S
mopolitan Magazine. and Mr..
James Hagerty helped me
to see the proper people at
the proper time. 1t was
called "A Day With The
President" and. to write 1t.
I had to find out everything
the President did from the
time. in the morning. when
he sat up in bed until he
went to bed again that night.
Sergt. Moaney is the
epitome of discretion. He
was reluctant to talk to me.
even when Mr.. Hagerty told
him it was all right. The
sergeant sat erect in an
Office chair, his white jacket
buttoned up the middle, the
little open collar stiff with
starch. AS we spoke. he said
mostly: "Yes, sir" and mo,
sir"
Inch by painful inch. I
drew the material from him.
Now" I said, "you know
before the rest Of the coun-
try when the President Is in
a bad mood because If you
lay out his brown suit with
the brown socks and the
white shirt. and he kicks
them off the bed. he's not
feeling too happy" The SER
geant nodded.
"All right" I said. now
tell me how you help him
to undress at night. What do
you say and what does he
say?" Sergt. Moaney looked
at me. There was no reply,
Jim Hagerty. sitting on his
squeaky swivel chair. said

wants to know. The Presi-
dent says it's all right"

Sorry" I said, but I
don't want to drive this poor
lamb in there"
Give me the Wheel" said
Miriam with q sigh.
I got out Of the pickup. and
told Miriam to pick me up
when it was all over. I began
walking down the paved road
toward town. The day was
overcast, and there was q
slight drizzle. I walked for
several miles. / felt guilty
about walking out on Miriam,
guilty because the lamb was
being killed, guilty because
Of my guilt feelings.
THEN I HEARD the pick
up coming. Miriam. I Eoted
with resentment as the We
hicle slowed to a stop, ap-
peared buoyant and nom
chalant.

A good mental tonic for

the hope engendered by a

The reason I rarely (if ever)

cause I am allergic to the

treat a person I do not feel
I own him to the exclusion
Of any other doctor. Nor do
I believe that a patient should
say "he's my doctor" in any

Soon after Davis arrived,
he and Murrow dined to-

had once been famous for
its cellar. Davis asked if they
had his favorite Chateau
neuf-du-Pape.
"'We have two bottlese left

more
"They ordered a bottle.
Through dinner, Murrow told
Davis of incidents Of tn e

punctuated by the sound of
sirens and antiaircraft fire.
AS they finished dinner, the
noises came close.
"'You know. Ed said Da-
