Mrs. Eisenhower's house near
Gettysburg at IL pm, saying
he wanted to see the general.
How he got into the
fenced-in property with its
radar-detection system, I
haven't heard. but it was the
radar that tipped off his
presence.
The former President in
stalled the detection system
all around his farm about q
year ago. It shows on q
screen the numbered section
Of any part Of the fence
where an interloper might
get through.
ON THIS PARTICULAR
NIGHT the Eisenhowers had
gone to bed and retired
Army Sergt. Breakbill who
does everything from keeping
an eye on the place to chauf-
fering Mrs. Eisenhower, was
sitting in his apartment
watching television when he
also saw what was happening
on the radar screen. He
called the State police right
away and they picked up the
man for questioning. They
may still have him under
custody. He said he had to
see the General. It Is very
important"
Retired Presidents have no
Secret Service protection.
The Eisenhowers went from
the Capitol In January, 1861
to the 1925 F Street Cub for
a luncheon with their close
associates. Afterwards they
drove to Gettysburg and the
car Of Secret Servicemen
who followed them turned
around and came back once
they were on their own
grounds.
The EiSenhowers, by the
way, have to repair the fence
that surrounds their farm all
the time. Sightseers-and
they are numerous because
Of the extra attraction Of the
battlefields nearby-come to
see what they can see, and
frequently they leave with q
part Of the fence as a SOU
venir.
DATING THE PRESI-
DENTS daughter Is not
what you'd call a private
twosome. Lucy Baines john
son. l6. squirrel by Midship-
man Leroy Bates, went to
the Watergate Inn for q late
afternoon meal last Sunday,
but they couldn't Just pop In
like any ordinary couple.
First, two Secret Service
men went into the restaurant
on the banks Of the Potomac
and looked the place over.
Then they went out to give
their okay. Then In came
Lucy (in q white wool dress
accented with q gold pin)
with her midshipman, fol-
lowed by one Of the Secret
Servicemen, while the other
remained on duty near her
car.
Lucy and her date were
seated at a table for two and
the Secret Serviceman was
given q table nearby where
he slipped coffee while they
had their repast.
II your teenagers ever
complain about two much
parental chaperonage, Just
remind them Of the young
men who date Lucy and have
q protectors eyes on them all
the time they are out with
this pretty brunette! There
are o lot worse things than
being q Presidents daughter,
but sometimes I bet they
can't think what they are.
THE MOST EXCITING
OPENING Washington has
seen in q long time was the
first night Of Carol Chan
ning's new hit musical Hell
10, Dolly!" The National
Theater abounded with peo-
pie in society, people in the
news, people associated with
the Kennedy administration
and people associated with
the new administration.
Caught up in the bouncing
Joy Of the inimitable Chan
ming charm, they mingled
like mad during intermission.
There was Astronaut John
Glenn with the Mark Evanses
seated by the Presidents
lawyer, Leonard Marks, and
his wife. There were Liz and
Les Carpenter with their son
and daughter ensconced In
the fourth row center. There
was White House Social Sec
retary Bess Abel with hus-
band Tyler and his stepfath-
er and mother, the Drew
PearSons.
Perle Mesta, who plans to
give a party for Carol, was
there with her nephew Bill
Tyson, and Norman Paul,
who's been mentioned as the
next Secretary Of the Army,
was there with his wife Bet
ty. Pamela Turnure, squirrel
