former President Eisenhower,
This Is the President I served
/ for eight years." he said. Mr.,
johnson was Minority Leader
of the Senate during the first
two Eisenhower years, and
Majority Leader during the SIX
other years.
He pointed to q framed letter
from President Eisenhower, on
! another wall. Below 1t was a
letter from Gen. Wilton Per-
sons, an Eisenhower staff aide
declaring that the Eisenhower
letter was "the last letter" Mr..
Eisenhower dictated before his
heart attack.
The Eisenhower letter, which
Gen. Persons sent along with
out signature, had expressed
delight" at Mr.. Johnson's
reported recovery from his
heat attack Of two months
earlier. It continued:
81 most earnestly hope for
your own sake that you viii
not let your natural bent for
living life to the hilt make you
try to do too much too
quickly"
Next to the Eisenhower pho
tograph were pictures Of Mr.,
Johnson's father, the late
Speaker Rayburn Of Texas and
the late President Kennedy.
Also hanging in the think
ng room" is q framed hand
-ritten letter to Mr.. Johnson's
great-grandfather, George

Texas hero, Sam Houston
dated November %, 1857.
On the desk is q photograph

President Truman and former
Vice President with Franklin

Gives Out News Data
The tour then went into the
Presidents big oval-shaped
office. and it was here that the
President began handing out
story suggestions.
There was the proposed mill
tary budget boost, a Harris re-
port showing johnson populari-
ty rising, a letter to the newly
named UnderSecretary of State
for Latin America, Thomas
Mann, and q report from
Budget Director Kermit Cor
don, dated December IA. ex-
planning how the tentative
budget total could be dropped
500 million.
The latter was achieved by
striking 500 million previously
included under proposed ex-
pansion of existing Govern
ment programs" Mr.. Gordon
said. The memo did not say
whether the proposed expan-
sions were being strapped, OF
another way had been found to
finance them.
OF the letter to Mann, Mr.
johnson said feelingly: This Is
what we are going to do IN
Latin America. 1t is i'll fed, III
clad, i'll housed. We are really
going to carry out the program
FDR started long ago."
The President gave each Of
the reporters a large photo

which he inscribed, with
warm regards from her friends

he takes leave time from his
job to help her out.
Il did not tell the District
Government about the Job, or
the club, because 1t does not
really interfere with my work."
he said.
Some Of the maids have
learned their own tricks to sur.
vive in their world Of domestic
drudgery.
The most obvious Is moon
lighting, I" or taking on extra
jobs to earn money, possible
for girls not committed to a
morning through-night, seven
day-a-week job.
For the most part, the maids
will take on jobs with private
American families. Some work
behind the scenes for Washing
ton caterers at large Embassy
or private parties, on an on
call basis.
Possible Solutions
While moonlighting Is not
strictly legal-maids here on
diplomatic visas are not sup
posed to take on outside en-
ployment - the immigration
I'VE leave them alone" an
immigration official said. "Our
policy is hands-off in the inter-
est of international relations
and foreign policy"
Two major problems involv-
ing foreign maids in Washing
ton appear to need a solution
the semi-slavery conditions I'M
der which some Of them work
and their vulnerability to ex-
ploitation because it Is easy for
them to come to the States.
What can be done?
State Department officials
believe one answer lies in a
Tightening UP Of American i'm
migration laws.
The visas issued to diplomats
covering domestic help were
not designed to give maids an
easy avenue to come into the
country, and it should be made
more difficult, State Depart
ment officials believe, for
maids to change their status
|, from diplomatic" to "tmmi-
grant" This would cut down
the number Of arrivals.
The other answer, the off,
Gals believe, would seem to lie
with the Embassies concerned
If the salaries of domestics
who work for diplomats were
raised to near the level Of
American domestics. officials
feel, there would be no need
for an underground railroad"

How Tour Began
The President started his
colloquy with the women re-
porters in the entrance hall,
where the four were donning
coats and hats.
Coming over to reporters to
say good-by, Mr.. johnson
spoke at some length on why
he felt the foreign aid fight
was vital, much Of it off. the
record.
Good-bys were then said, but
the President sent an aide aft
er the departing reporters, say
ing he wanted a photograph Of
them with him and Mrs. john
son.
The pictures taken, reporters
once again started to leave
Hey! Want to see the SWIM
ming pool?" the President
called out.
The tour was on.
The pool area, generally of
limits except to the Presidents
family and chosen White
House staffers, bears little
resemblance to the drab room
once glimpsed briefly early ir
the Kennedy regime.
Three walls above the poo
are covered with q brilliant
mural by Artist Berman La
motif, a gift Of former Ambas-
sador Joseph P. Kennedy to his
son, the late President. A
fourth wall is completely mir
rored. Two round life preserv-
ers hang on the mirrors, bear
ing the initials, "LBJ."
President johnson said the
colorful marine scene depicts a
harbor in the Virgin Islands.
The tour went next to the
Cabinet Room, where Mr..
johnson outlined his plans to
hang the Franklin Roosevelt
portrait.
AdInires FDR Chin
Then he went across the hall
to his own office, to point out a
sculptured head Of Mr.. Roose-
Welt, also executed by Mr.. David
son. 1t had been given to him
by Miss Grace Tulley, longtime
secretary to FDR, Mr.. Johnson
said. Miss Tully later worked
for Mr.. johnson when he was
head of the Senate Democratic
Policy Committee.
Look at that chin! That's
what / love about him." said
the President, cupping the for
matchmaking chin of the
sculpture in his hand.
The tour moved then to q
small room adjoining the Presi-
dents office. This Is my pri-

Chief Executive explained.

OUR SECURITY IN GOD

"Behold, / lay In Sion a chief
corner stone, elect, precious:
and he that believeth on him
shall not be confounded" QPet.
2:6).
The words of the Apostle
Peter have come to me with
new meaning In these days of
tragedy and confusion.
Understand, it is the Eternal
God who is speaking. They are
not the words of some strutting
military braggart nor some SUI
percilious teacher of philo-
sophy. They are the words of
One whose words cannot be
broken.
When God lays a foundation
stone, all the assaults of hell
will beat out their fury In vain
upon 1t. Gods work will en-
dure to all eternity. He is the
divine architect, the builder and
the caretaker. "Behold, lay in
Sion a chief corner stone, elect,
precious"
''He that believeth shall not
be confounded." lisa. 1872 This
is taken from the prophecy of
Isaiah, given at a time of dis
aster to bolster the courage
of believing Israelites. If ex-
pectancy here was sufficient to
comfort and sustain the child
rem of God, we who know 1t to
be an accomplished fact should
find great comfort and daily
strength in resting upon it. 1t
should sweeten all our grace
and Tighten all our dark paths.
He who builds faith in Christ
will never find his confidence
misplaced.
Storms may come causing
fair-weather structures to fall.
Nevertheless, ''the foundation
of God standeth sure"
Disaster may overwhelm us,
and all things temporal swept
away in a night. Nevertheless,
''the foundation of God stand
eth sure" He that believeth on
Him shall never be confounded.
The greatest thing In our lives
is our faith in Jesus Christ.
Build yourself up in your most
holy faith. God will not fail.
God cannot fail. And ''the future
is as bright as the promises of
God."

The former Massachusetts

as a COP presidential possibil-

ported that former President
Dwight D. Eisenhower, an old

him to return to this country

Lodge said he had received
no such letter but that if he did
he would consider with great

he sent such a letter but the
feeling in the capital was that
it expressed his views nonethe-
