He'll have tough treading to make ends meet at 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue this coming year if the estimates I have are correct. And they are. Take the cost of maids, for in stance. Back in 1933, before in flation, when Eleanor Rooseveit supervised the household chores, they were hired at $19 a week. .. In Ike's household budget for '60, Mamie's going to have to pay her maids, out of our pockets $50.80 a week, plus board. Mrs. Roosevelt required only five maids. Mamie has eight, Domestic help around the White House in 1933 was paid $85,000. This year it's costing Mamie and lis taxpayers $278,440. Take a look at the garden expenses, in '33, the Chief Execu- tiev required only five gardeners who drew total wages of $7,560.' j Although the White House increased a squara haven't grounds inch since then, Ike now needs 12 gardeners at a cost of $45,110. The only major change in? the grounds, as I see it, is the President's golfing green. r In the bid days back in '33 our President needed only 60 po lice and secret service agents to guard him and his house. We paid 'em $150,650. Now, .although there is still, one White House and one President to protect, there are 160 agents around, for a total outlay of . nothat body, then some special which would of necessity group draw heavily upon the service's experience and background. Enough danger; signals have been raised to justify immediate - and exhaustive attention to this terribly pressing question. Kaltenborn Edits the News Soviet Propaganda Slows Down Parley By H. V. KALTENBORN Geneva conference of foreign min- fhe isters got off to such a: bad start that little hope remains for its ultimate success. It took much more than a day to decide whether the conference table should be round or square, and the better part of a week to Settle procedural questions as to whafrole East and West Germans should play in the conference, how many chairs they should leave, what kind of table they should occupy, and what role was to be played by Poland and Czechoslovakia in, the conference. All these issues should have been tied before the conference began. They were not settled in advance because the Bussians did not bring them up. They' delayed raising these issues to get propaganda value out of them from the y 1,200 reporters assembled ' at Geneva, Thus, the first week of the Geneva meeting might well be called Soviet proo paganda week. Foreign Minister knew perfectly well that these various propaganda proposals would be rejected. He made them because they with provided, the Soviet government Comthe comment in favorable press munist satellite states. There is enough discontent in every one of these states to make it important for the Soviet Union to conciliate; and. propagandize public opinion. The East Germans, Poles and Czechslike the idea of being important enough to participate in" the Geneva meeting on an equal basis with the big powers. That Is the position Foreign Minister Gromyko tried to create for them, and now the Soviet Union gets the credit for having made the effort. Communists at international conferences consider the headlines they create of equal importance with the agreements they work out. Treaties and agreements can be ignored, as the Soviet Union has proved on many occasions, but the psychological effect of propaganda headlines may be more important. It Is In this light that we should understand but not approve Foreign Minister Uromyko's unending speeches, interruptions, parliamentary maneuvering and irritating diversions which will mark the sessions of the Geneva meeting. It Is because the French, Bnt ish and American delegates expect these things that they are able to accept them in good temper as an Inevitable part of negotiations with the Soviet Union. When the East and West Germans were finally seated at separates tables in the conference room, the Moscow Prav-d-a hailed it as the first Russian victory of the conference.

Alligators live only in the warmer parts of America and China, but crocodiles can be found In Africa, Asia, Australia, and America.

Like Mephisto in. Goethe's Faust, For' eign Minister Gromyko is the eternal negative spirit in any meeting with the , West which he attends. His ability as a tireless, longwinded negative debater was first demonstrated at the United Nations meetings at Hunter College in the Bronx two decades ago when the U. .N. Council demanded 'Russia's; withdrawal of her forces that had invaded the northern part of Iran during the Sec ond World War. He has mastered every debating trick, including the final one of staking out of a conference when he cannot have his way. He is unlikely to use this ultimate weapon at Geneva. His chief purpose there, apart from' scoring propaganda victories, is, to secure agreement .for a later summit conference; What we must exepct to see at Geneva is an unending series of squables following the but unimportant opening speeches. Gromyko will promote lengthy discussions on side issues. The real decisions of the conference are much more likely to be made at luncheon" and dinner talks than at the formal round table meetings. Gromyko will not "make any important concessions at the conference meetings .He will make at least a few at social meetings of the the chief delegates It is these private , meetings that will work out the substance of the formal conclusions which will be presented in the closing hours of the conference. During the dark days of the first World War, Premier Clemenceau of France used to tell us that the war ' would be won in the last quarter of an hour. Any constructive results of the Geneva conference insofar as there are to be any will also be won in the last quarter of an hour. Secretary Christian A. Herter, Selwyn Lloyd and Maurice Coude de Murville will be subjected to a continued test of their patience, th.ir . competence as debaters and propagandists and their diplomatic skill. It win be a real test, particularly for Secretary of State Herter, who is having his first real encounter with the man who is probably the Soviet Union's ablest representative at the international level. Secretary Herter told us before he left for Geneva, "The past record of negotiations with the Soviet does not warrant much optimism." But whatever is in '.his heart, every Western delegate must" make a show of optimism as to the end result of the present meeting. We, too, have a propaganda purpose t Geneva.
