Housing Problem To Confab Reporters By MERRIMAN SMITH UPI White House Reporter WASHINGTON (UPD -> Backstairs at the White House: During the camp David meeting between President Eisenhower and Soviet boss Nikita S. Khrushchev late this week, there will be quite a housing problem for reporters covering the conference. The White House has a spot tentatively lined up for the Russian journalists outside Gettysburg —The Peace Light Motel. Khrushchev will have a lovely guest room at Camp David in Aspel Cottage, the President's house, but the ever-serious Russian secret police mfght be a little puzzled by ome of the furnishings. The chairman of the Soviet Council of Ministers will have a cheery yellow bathroom—yellow tile floor, yellow bathtub, yellow curtains. On the wall there is a small, gleaming silver button. The Russian agents undoubted! will want to know what happens if ithrushchev pushes this button. Hre i the answer: Within moments, a Navy steward will arrive with an armload of fresh bath towels. The staff at the White House noticed several small details of Khrushchev’s appearance last week that most American spectators may have missed. For one thing, the Russian premier ha unusually tiny feet for a man of his girth. His shoes seem to be made of leather so soft and thin that it might be used for glove. Also, when Khrushchev walks,

there is sort of a paddling effect because of the way he carries his pudgy hands at right angles to his side. He move hi arms somewhat tiffly and this adds to the paddling picture. It wil be interesting to see whether the Pl resident takes Khrushchev to his Gettysburg farm home. - Eisenhower may be wiling to show the premier his herd of highly bred Black angus cattle, but what happens if Khrushchev sounds off again about Russia producing fine cows witik out the necessity of “baronial sire?” Khruhchev had quite a debate on this subject last week with Secretary of Agriculture Ezra T. Benson, the Russian claiming that cattle feed is more imporant han having “good mohers and fathers.” In his connection, Khrushchev used the Russian idiom for papa and mama. Eisenhower believes as Benson does, and as most American cattlement do—that horoughbred catle lines are vital o he bes beef producion.
