Slipup In Speech Referred To Hoover ■ Bv MERRIMAN SMITH UPI White House Reporter WASHINGTON <UPI> — Backstairs at the White House: For a brief spell this week. It looked on paper like President Eisenhower had come out for former President Herbert Hoover as the 1960 GOP presidential nomi- . ■ ■ — * . — The way it happened was this: Last Monday night. Eisenhower was the featured speaker at the “Jumbo Jamboree*’ sponsored here by the Republican Women’s National Conference. Advance copies of his speech were distributed at the White House during the late afternoon. Reporters were amazed to read in one section of the speech that the President, after calling his party colleagues to. greater battle this year, would have this to say: “In any event, we are setting our sights on obtaining a Republican House to work with my Republican predecessor ” Apparent Hoover Reference Since Hoover was the last Republican to occupy the White House before- the current administration, it seemed that Eisenhower could be referring only to hisparty’s elder statesman. Reporters, however, realized it had to be a mistake and dictated their speech stories with no particular attention to the one amazing sentence. Before much of the speech was in public circulation, however, workers in the White House discovered the classic boner and came streaming into the press room crying, "Make that word successor.” Thereupon arose a most interesting question: Who made the Freudian slip? No one seemed to know, but as far as it could be determined from outside the tight inner circle of the administration family, the mimeographed text was copied from a speech draft that had been approved personally by the chief executive. And that wasn’t all that happened in connection with the President’s evening with the Republican ladies. When he and Mamie arrived at the affair which was held in a local ice palace called the Uline Arena, they had to wait a few minutes before time for their introduction and grand march into the hall. Wait in Locker Room So, they waited in a bare dressing room normally used by visiting hockey teams, prize fighters or other professional athletes. No overstuffed chairs or heavy carpets usually provided for the President. Just bare concrete floors and some metal lockers. The President and Mamie accepted their good Republican box suppers with great gusto from gaily-uniformed girl pages, but m truth, the Eisenhowers must have eaten before leaving the White House. The first lady nibbled on a roll and passed up everything else. The President took one or two. exploratory bites out of a cold chicken leg and then gave up to concentrate on the speakers and entertainers. Mahalia Jackson, the famed Negro gospel singer, had her troubles, too. She tripped and fell down as she went on stage, but was helped quickly to her feet. Mahalia then proceeded to thrill the Eisenhowers with her wonderful voice that apparent!} suffered not at all from her stage tumble. If <it First, etc. AUSTIN, Tex. (UPD — Joe Wheeler, from time to time, gets in minor altercations with the Sanford twins next door. The only trouble is he always comes out second best. ’
