NICE, France, Aug. 4 (AP).-
Frank Sinatra and his Holly
wood clan are in for a surprise
if they plan to vacation at the
Riviera villa of Joseph P. Ken
nedy.
Mr.. Kennedy - father oi
President Kennedy - said yes

stay in a hotel.
"Ill be very happy to see
them" Mr.. Kennedy said, but
they will have to go to a hotel
because 1 just don't have the
room at my place to put them
up. I have only one empty
bedroom on the first floor"

announced Tuesday in Holly
wood that Mr.. Sinatra. Janet
Leigh, the Dean Martins and
the Peter Lawfords have been

DR.. Book was asked if it was

ment" over the matter.
Il was just about ready to
jump out of the window" says
Mr.. Udall looking back on that
black day. you just couldn't
believe that this could ever
happen"
In due course, the President
took a humorous view of the
business and at the dinner pub
licly thanked Mr.. Udall "for
handling the publicity"
Mr.. Udall conspicuously does
not appreciate being compared
with Harold Ickes, a razor
tongued predecessor who count
ed a day without a scrap a
lost one.
They are picturing me as
someone with a chip on his
shoulder" he says plaintively.
He is involved in one subStan-
tive battle which is over public
vs.-private power on the Han
ford reactor. He rather enjoys
that, except for the publicity
in the business press, which is
calling him "a power car"
Mr.. Udall is particularly
sensitive to what he regards
distortions in the press, be-
cause he is something of a
literary man, who carefully
writes his own speeches. A
poetry-lover, he brought Robert
Frost into the Inaugural cere-
monies. He called on the
ancient bard after reading in
the paper that Mr.. Frost was
complaining that although con-
Sultant in poetry at the Library
of Congress, no one was con-
sulting him about anything.
The two are fast friends now,
and Mr.. Udall arranged an
evening with Robert Frost" at
the Interior Department. He is
planning other evenings, one

another with poet Carl Sand

Government depar tments
and agencies are being in
structed to make more use of
the probationary period in
Federal employment to get rid
Of unsatisfactory employees.
The Civil Service Commits
sion is emphasizing that an
employees first year of service
during which he is not en-
titled to the same procedural
safeguards given other Federal
workers-should be the time
when unsatisfactory employees
are dropped from the rolls.
The program is reported to
have the strong support OF
President Kennedy, who is anx-
lous that the caliber of Federal
personnel be as high as pos
sible.
The csc has stressed that
once an employe completes his
probationary period, it is much
harder to fire him than if the
action is taken before the first
year Of service is completed.

AFTER SIX MONTHS
UdoII Long on Lands
But Short on Press
By MARY McGRORY
Star Staff Writer


The Secretary of the In.
terror, Stewart Udall, tends tc
think after six months in office
that he is perhaps doing better
with public lands than with
public relations.
AS guardian of our natural
resources, any liberal Demo
cratic Interior Secretary is
likely to be brought into con-
flict with private power COM
panieS, oil men, miners, farm
erS, and Indians. But Mr.. Udall
has been almost steadily en-
broiled in extra -curricular en-
counters, largely with Repub-
licanS, and not for what he has
done but for what he has said
From President Kennedy he
got a mandate on natural re-
sources which gives him a free
hand to follow his own strong
conservationist bent. His poll
cies in general have been cor
daily received on Capitol Hill,
and when he appears before
the Interior Committees, he
is a Westerner among West
erners, with everyone speaking
the same language.
His first big bill, a measure
converting a large tract of Cape
Cod into National Seashore
Park, passed the Congress.
On weekends, he has been
Ijoyfully inspecting scenic areas
around the country. An en-
thuSiastic hiker and mountain
climber, he has been in his
element on the trail. He wants
to add 20 million acres to the
parklands of America.
I'm doing fine everywhere
but in the press" says the
Secretary ruefully.
He simply doesn't understand
how the image has been created
of a hapless partisan forever
blundering into areas where he
has no business. His enemies
say he is braSh. His friends say
he has been a victim of circum-
stance. The Republicans have
long since called him "a hatchet-
man"
Mr.. Udall, a vigorous, ingra-
tiating, crew-cut, eager, earnest
41-year-old attracted unfavor-
able attention from the G. o. P.
from the moment he unblush-
ingly admitted that he had
been involved in the House
Rules Committee fight.
II don't apologize for that"
he says, II think that was a
good days work. That legis-
lation had to come to the
floor"
Blackmail Charged
Republicans, who know as
we'll as anyone that a quarter
of the measures passed on the
Hill relate to the Interior De-
partment. charged him with
blackmail.
Soon they had fresh cause
for grievance. 1t was Mr.. UdalrS
misfortune to appear on tele-
vision the Sunday after the
Cuban disaster. He said, as
others have since, that the
invasion had been planned by
the Eisenhower administration
and executed by the Kennedy
administration. House Minority
Leader Halleck called the state
ment vicious" and Senate
Minority Leader 'Dirksen voiced
the hope that Mr.. Udall would
not be Secretary of the Ex-
terror" Mr.. Udall says he was
quoted out Of context.
Within a month, Mr.. Udall
was carried over the rapids
again. In his name. a letter
was sent out by a friend, So

Corfr{hutgp1 XITr,4,-

Just before the turn of the
century, as the long winter
gave way to spring, a ship
pulled slowly into the har-
Dor of Skagway, the gold
rush terminal in southeast
Alaska.
The prospectors and pio-
neers lining the decks
glanced across the water to
the mountains beyond where
the snow was beginning to
melt. On one of the higher
peaks they noticed that the
deep snow remaining in the
crevasseS formed the pattern
"AB."
The men decided that ABB
would stand for Arctic
Brotherhood" Mrs. John M.
Keller said. That is how it
all started"
Mrs. Keller, who now lives
in Fairfax, Va, is one of
the last members of the
brotherhood. Today at the
age of 73 she is still a
pioneer.

Society-Home

You had to make your
own fun" Mrs. Keller went
on. I'VE we're our own
orchestra. I played the piano,
my husband the drums, and
my brother-i law the vio-
lin.
When my daughter was
a baby, I took her along and
lay her on a pillow while
we played for the dances un-
til 3 or 4 in the morning.
And when it was time to feed
her, I just called an inter-
mission"
When the end of the gold
rush reduced Skagway to a
small town, Mr.. Keller
started a drug store with
$500 worth of stock. Mrs.
Keller is particularly proud
of the fact that she studied
and learned how to do the
prescriptions and so became
the towns druggist"
She also remembers with
pride the period during
World War II when she
served as head of the Red
Cross in her area.
