PRESIDENT IS BUSY HAN ON 63RD BIRTHDAY

WASHINGTON, Oct. 14 (UPI President Eisenhower was 63 years old today and bearing up well under the glittering burden <>f the most star-spangled birthday celebration in generations. He scheduled a full day in his office, including appointments with Secretary of State John Foster Dulles and the British ambassador, before starting out late tonight on a five-state .-peaking tour that will take him rom Ohio to the Mexican border There was little inclination at the White House to hold a birthday celebration of any size today after the extravaganza Re publicans staged Tuesday night at Hcrshey, Pa. There was nothing in recent American history like the Hershey party for size, glitter and theatrical production. It had everything from a massed chorus of 1.S00 voices chanting ' I like Ike" to golf pros chipping sponge rubber practice balls into the President's lap. There were birthday cakes by the hundreds, including one wooden over 30 feet high and another real seven feet tall At one point, the Presid'-nt received i fiery salute from 7,000 persons each equipped with a small wooden birthday rake and a lighted red candle. And, to top off a long evening there was an historical pageant set to music which was interrupted by laughter and applause when Paul Revere on horseback rode around an arena ring, followed quite seriously by a man in colonial military costui«< and bearing a shovel. An estimated 23,000 persons participated in the celebration which included three parties an outdoor box supper in a stadium, a $100-a-plate roast beef dinner in a circus tent ami a three-hour show in the Hershey

Arena.

High spot of the evening for Mr. Eisenhower was formal notification of the creation of the Eisenhower Exchange Fellowships by friends across the country to promote better international understanding. This was his big birthday gift. In his only extensive, but informal remarks of the evening, the President said lie hoped the fellowships would promote ‘•international relationships of friendship and not enmity, not prejudice, not preconceived notions that the other fellow is skunk while we are pretty good fellows." The President also hud a particular mess ige for the young people in the audience: "Thi Republican Party is trying to use all of its brains, all of the ability it has. ill of it: understanding of this world as it now exists . . to establish the foundation from which you . . will carry this United States foi ward to greater blessings of liberty and freedom under God than it has ever known before."

S’hat is called a calculate ’ risk, -inch sometimes go wrong Marshal Tito’s protests and threats were expected. But neither London nor Washington may have been prepared for the chance that Tito might actually begin to move his armies if the

Italians moved in.

TODAY'S BIBLE THOUGHT I heard the voice of the Lord. Isa. 6:8. He listened for it. Too many of us sign off when we are through praying. It might hi well to listen as well as pray. Woe unto them that rise up early in the morning that they may follow strong drink. Isaiah 5:11. Paul suggested a little wine for stomach disorders. Far. far too many abuse the freedom God has given us. This brings woe to the drunkard and to his loved ones.
