Bemused reporters weren't
quite sure what it foretold
about the status of women

BY ISABELLE SHELTON
Star Staff Writer

Star Staff Writer
Mrs. Eleanor Roosevelt is
enchanted with the changes
Mrs. Kennedy has effected in
the White House, she told a
group with whom she toured
the Executive Mansion last
week.
The former First Lady, who
was chatelaine of the Presi-
dents residence longer than
any other Presidents wife,
took the opportunity to take
a guided tour Of the mansion,
just like any other rubber
necking tourist, when it was
offered.
She went along with other
members of the Presidents
Commission on the Status of
Women, of which she is
chairman, when they toured
the public rooms after a
morning meeting of the COM
mission in the White House
Fish Room.
Mrs. Roosevelt had been
back in the Presidents resi-
dence before last week, with
President Kennedy himself
serving as her guide. But
that was before Mrs. Ken
nedy had begun shifting
things around.
Special Treat
Last weeks tour was a
special treat for the other
members of the group, who
were as fascinated by Mrs.
Roosevelt's room -by-room re-
actions as they were to what
they were seeing.
White House Police In
spector Kenneth Burke, who
conducted the tour, keyed
his remarks to comparisons
with the way things looked
when Mrs. Roosevelt-under
whom he served-Was there.
Mrs. Roosevelt particularly
liked the new off-whlte walls
in the State Dining Room,
remarking that the room now
looked 80 bright and pretty"
with the gold draperies and
gold sconces against the
white walls.
The walls were a dark nat
ural oak when the Roosevelts
were in the White House.
They were painted a pale
Williamsburg green when the
White House was renovated
during the Truman Admins
tration.
Mrs. Roosevelt was touch
ingly pleased at the reloca-
ton OF a portrait of her hus-
band, the late President
Franklin D. Roosevelt, which
has been moved from an in
conspicuous spot in the cor
ridor to place of honor in
the newly decorated Red
Room.
The painting, by British
Artist Frank Salisbury, has
always been one of my ia
vorites," Mrs. Roosevelt told
the group.
Own Story
In the East Room, when
Inspector Burke was pointing
out the famous Gilbert Stuart
painting of George Washing
ton and recalling how Dolley
Madison had rescued the
painting when the British
burned the White House in
the War of 1872. Mrs. Roose-
welt took over with a story
of her own.
II remember one evening
Franklin and I were in this
ROOM" she said. II was show
ing a group of young people
through, and I was telling
the story of how Dolley Madi-
son had rolled up the Stuart
canvas of Washington and
taken it with her to save it
from the fire.
Suddenly" Mrs. Roosevelt
continued, lone little girl of
10 or IL piped up, What did
she use to cut the canvass"
II frankly didn't have the
Evening star. [volume] (Washington, D.C.) 1854-1972, 1962-02-18

vaguest idea," the former
First Lady said with a
chuckle. II was flabbergast-
ed"
Not wanting to let down
her little guest, she said, she
decided, well, let's see how
Franklin will handle this.
He's got an answer for every
thing, and he's always read
ing history"
She moved across the room,
where President Roosevelt
had some more youngsters in
tow, and repeated the ques-
ton.
Quick as a flash, without
batting an eye, Franklin said,
why she used a kitchen
knife, of courser" Mrs.
Roosevelt recalled.
MiSinfOrmatiOn
Aside to historians: A vet
eran White House staff mem
Der says the story attests to
Mr.. RooSevelt's nimble-wit-
tedness, but not his historical
knowledge.
Before another bit of mis-
information is added to
White House lore, he wants
it on the record that when
the painting was removed
from its frame for cleaning,
during the Truman-era reno
walton of the Presidents resi-
dence, it was apparent that
the canvas had never been
cut loose from a frame.
The condition Of the can
vas appeared to support one
account of Dolley Madison's
quick flight, which has it
that Workmen broke up the
wooden frame, thus releasing
the canvas.

Business-IndusfriaI
Political Alliance

"BIPAC" may sound like an under
arm deodorant, but it isn't. Actual
ly, it doesn't even exist yet. However,
it most likely will, and soon. 1t stands
for Business-Industria Political Ac-
ton Committee, and formation of
BIPAC has been proposed by Charles
R. Sigh, a leader of the National
Association of Manufacturers. He
wants it to swing into action to over
come the political efforts of COPE.
He complains of COPIES unlimited
funds" (what game shall we play
next?) and bemoans business ability
to give support to candidates who
favor the business viewpoint :. :"
He fails to point out that in 1860
q dozen wealthy business-industria
families managed to scrape up half
million dollars to back their favored
candidates, or that in 1856 dozen
rich clans shelled out $1,153,735 in
direct contributions to candidates or
the party of their choice.
The Political Memo July 80, 1862
warned that big business and in
dustrial alliance with the American
Medical Association may be emery
ing to advance the common goal of
conservatism. This may be the start.

from grain commission and mer-
chandising operation into the manu-
facture and sale of livestock feeds,
the processing and distribution of
seeds, farm chemicals and animal
health products, the processing of
durum wheat into semolina for maca-
roni, and in recent years, the pro-
cessing of millions of bushels of soy
beans and flaxseed annually.
In celebrating quarter of a CEN
fury of cooperative achievement,
M. W. Thatcher, general manager,
said that this years anniversary meet
ing will bring before delegates def
mite long-range program of financing

most Birch Society efforts-such
as its campaign to impeach Chief
Justice Earl Warren-this new
drive is stirring wide controversy.
EXPORTS EXCEED IMPORTS
Aim of the new drive is to embar.
rass merchants into stopping the sale
of goods made behind the Iron Cur
tain. That's the purpose of secretive
"card parties" like the one in God
frey.
Such card parties have been held
in towns and cities from coast to
coast, with cards bearing the tongue
in-cheek advice to "buy your Com
munist imports" at such and such a
store.
Some Birchites also claim their new
drive will help protect American jobs.
However, the U. S. imported in 1861
just SCI million of goods from the
Soviet bloc and exported $133.4 mil
iion-so this trade on balance meant
a net gain in American jobs.

More important, as U. S. officials
see it. our imports from such lands
as Yugoslavia and Poland may help
get them away from complete depend
ence on Soviet Russia.

ONE MILLION DOLLARS

The Crows are ready to put cool
million dollars into the development
of Yellowtail recreation. This is a
part of the program to invest the
$9,00O,000 award for the damsite
in the best interests of the present
Crows and the coming generations.
The four other ways the money
will be distributed include:
A family plan wherein every
member of family gets $1,000 for
a permanent investment with social
or economic basis. Fer example, a
family with six could get $4,000 for
a house, or livestock, or vocational
training, or simply for medical ex-
penses.
Scholarship grants will be made
available for the young seeking edu-
cation.
A credit program will be estab-
lished for young men and women
between 20 and 80 years old to enter
business ventures or livestock rails
ing.
A land purchase program will
be established for the tribe to buy
heirships and key tracts within the
reservation. The business locations
and other tracts will be resold to
tribal members. =

rently celebrating how best to han

Stating that doctors are asking
for help in this field, the specialists
said CHRONOLOGY is a true field of
study, concerned with the changes
in individual and social behavior with
the passage of time; or, the study of
time related changes, their biological,
psychological and social processes
and their relationship, and the i'm
plications of these in the larger So
ciety.
The phenomena with which this
country is faced arises out of the
growing number of older people,
which are growing twice as rapidly

termined by those in the productive

Forty years ago the average life

out by the fact that there is just be-

The specialists said this country
