fore she joined the Johnsons,
Mrs. Carpenter understands
politics and issues. She can
write q hard-hitting speech,
but always laces 1t with her
own brand Of humor.
Uses HumOr
Touches Of her wit crop up
In the Vice Presidents
speeches from time to time,
although-and this Is true Of
her speeches for Mrs. john
son too-it Is always hard to
tell where q johnson ends
and Carpenter begins.
Mrs. Carpenter has perfect
pitch on quotes. When she
writes q speech for Mrs.
johnson all the new First
Lady's honey patois-which
can be as colorful as q
Texas sunSet-come ripping
through.
"Liz"-which is all anyone
ever calls her, approached
her new Job with zest when
she went to work for Mrs.
johnson In the 1860 cam
paign.
The Job, she said, conn
bines my four great loves:
politics, reporting, old friends
and my native State"
Some Of Mrs. Carpenters
more delightful and unin-
hibited forays have taken
place when she was speaking
on her own behalf. Her year
as president of the Women's
National Press Club (1954-
SD was q delight to her col
leagues because Of the strong
dose Of Carpenter humor In
jected into club affairs.
Not Preserved
Regrettably, these have not
been preserved for posterity.
And needless to say, Mrs.
Carpenter did not feel like
rolling off any wisecracks
this week end. She has, in
fact, been completely incom-
municado inside the johnson
house in Spring Valley.

hvered in q speech just after

The Carpenter Touch
Has Been q Johnson Asset

A homespun, gregarious
Texas newspaperwoman with
q witty tongue and 9 sure
ear for q quotable quote
seems certain to play q sub
stantial press role In the new
Johnson administration.
She is Mrs. Elizabeth Car
penter, who left the group Of
Texas newspapers she served
With her husband Leslie to
become Mrs. Lyndon john
sons press voice during the
1860 campaign, and since
then has served as executive
assistant to Vice President
Johnson.
Two Roles
Mrs. Carpenter successfully
straddled two roles during the
new Presidents almost three
years as Vice President. She
was q sort Of super press
secretary and aide for Mrs.
johnson, and also served as
an idea sparkplug for the
more social side Of the
Vice Presidents many-faceted
role.
When Bashir Ahmed, the
Padstani camel driver, came
to visit. It was Mrs. Carpen-
ter, q born Snowman. who
built UP interest In his visit
with q series Of "will-he-or-
wont-he-come" stories. and
then stage managed his
smash hit performances
around the country.
When the Johnsons travel
abroad-as they have to
four continents since he be-
came Vice President-it was
Mrs. Carpenter, who COPIED
with the myriad details Of
their schedule, and came I'D

grams e. Mrs. Johnson's
earnest pursuit Of women

Unlikely Combinations
At home. It Is Mrs. Car
penter-with an able assist
from Mrs. Bess Abel, Mrs.
Johnson's social secretary
who puts together such un-
likely combinations as q
calypso band to entertain
editors wives, Mark Russell's
offbeat nightclub ribbing to
titilate earnest Peace Corps
supporters, and those in
credible cornball country

slaw brothers, to entertain

handing out dime store

luncheon for the First Lady
Of Mexico.
There have been functions
featuring more serious art
lists, too, such as Conductor
Erich Leinsdorf and Pulitzer
Winning Author Harper Lee.
With the wider stage o.
the White House, 1t seems
Mrs. Carpenters inventive
ness might well be q match
for that Of Jacqueline Ken
nedy and her first Social
Secretary, the talented Letitia
Baldrige.

Mrs. Carpenter, however, to
think Of her only as o stage

FORT NELSON, B.C. R - Travellers began to move north and south along the Alaska High way Friday after Canadian army maintenance crews c om D e d emergency repairs at the scene of 42 Washouts between this center and Watson Lake, VT.
 The slides and WaShouts caused by four days of heavy rain late last week, dotted the 200-mile sec ton and stymied more than $500 travellers, some since Tuesday.
 The first cars here were allow ed through at pm, MIST. At the same time military and civilian police at Watson Lake began nov ing cars from their end.
 All motorists were warned re- pairs were temporary and the road could not be classified as normal. One-Way clearance was all that was opened by road crews at many of the washed out stretches.
 An army spokesman in Fort Nel son said cars were allowed on the highway in three to five minute intervals. Motorists were warned to maintain the distance between themselves and the car ahead.
 Army officials said no motorists had been trapped on the highway by the washouts. They added ac- commodations were available along the entire route.

Zumdieck Says Gruening Is Confused"

SEATTLE R - J. F. Zumdieck, vice president and general mana ger of the Alaska Steamship Co.,, says either Sen. Ernest Gruening or Webster is confused about the word monopoly"
 He also said in statement Fri day that "as usual, Sen. Gruening's comments about the Alaska Steam ship Go. are inaccurate, distorted and highly uncomplimentary. They were again today, as reported here"
 At Fairbanks Wednesday, Gruen- ing defended his recent stand against the bill, defeated in a Sen ate committee, which would have allowed Alaska Steam to purchase and operate a fOreign-built vessel between Seattle and Alaska. Gruen- ing also said Canadians should be welcomed in the Alaska shipping business, as .So far we have had nothing in Alaska but monopoly in the freight business"
 Zumdieck's statement also said:
 "A maze of carriers, including Alaska Freight Lines, Puget Sound Alaska Van Lines, Foss Launch & Tug, Alaska Barge & Transport, Pacific Western Lines and Ameri- can Tugboat Go. compete for Alas ka cargo = irrespective of the senator's studied efforts to ignore them.
 Tt has been this rigorous com petition and the efforts of carriers to develop improved methods that have held freight rate increases in the Alaska trade in the last 10 years far below such increases in other domestic trades, the senators S comments notwithstanding.
 Tt is evident that he intends to continue to ignore the facts and a reasonable approach to Alaska's s transportation problems, which is further confirmed by his efforts to incite labor in the Skagway labor dispute"
 The reference to SkagWay was to the longshoremen's strike there Gruening has denounced the long standing agreement Alaska Steam has had with the sailors union, by which sailors unload one hatch of vessels in Alaska pOrtS Cr1apip0 O said at Fairbanks Wednesday it is longshoremen's work and a "sur- vival from the colonial days of Alaska"

Olympic Skier Talks
Fashion on the Slope

take off a according to the
weather.
Snow Jeans are fashion
news. This Is the blue
jeanned look for the ski
slopes. Then there are the
new ski pants cut on the
lines of overalls. Anybody
who's worn them swears by
their comfort.
'Orlon sweaters are great
for warmth and the fact that
you can toss them into the
washer, dry them, and
they're ready for wear again
on the ski slopes.
'Black ski pants are best
for beginners.
Even though they are
stressing white for ski wear
at st. Moritz, I think white Is
great for runways, to wear
when receiving trophies, or
to be photographed In.
For after-sIu the big
fashion news Is the long
skirt.
Don't wear q lot Of make
up when you're on the slopes.
There's something about the
fresh air that makes heavy
makeup really look out Of
place.
Betsy lives in Norwich, vt.
What does she do when she
takes time off from her con-
sultant's duties and testing
new ski clothes?
She helps teach at the Vol
unteer Ski School in Hanov-
er. N H. where over 500
children learn to whip down
a mountain. II wish parents,
instead Of giving youngsters
a pair Of skis would first give
them the right kind Of boots.
They're more important to
good skiing. "-ELENI.
