Back-stairs at the White House
By Merriman Smith WASHINGTON UPI—Backstairs at the White House: There Is a story in current circulation—recirculation would be a better term—about how J. Edgar Hoover, director of the Federal Bureau of Investigation, disapproves of his agents wearing button-down shirts (too Ivy League) or anything but the more conservatively cut, dark suits.

Dear Heloise: Here’s how to make wonderful buoys to mark the limit of a swimming area for children at the lake or in a home pool. Tightly screw the caps on a number of plastic bleach jugs, then just tie them, evenly spaced, onto the necessary amount of rope needed. They will float and always show up plainly. The rope ends may be tied, staked or weighed. Evelyn Kodym • * • * Dear Heloise: I’ve just discovered the greatest way of fixing my hair so it looks nice all week. After doing it up on my rollers (plastic, lattice -type curlers), I get my plunger bottle of liquid setting fluid and spray inside each roller. This way, each curl is coated on the outside and the inside so when I remove the rollers, the curls are firm and full of body. Hilda * • • • Letter of Laughter Every woman knows how difficult it is to put on a girdle or corset in hot weather. I say: “Air-condition your garment!” Put it in the refrigerator an hour or two before it’s time to wear it . • . “Fatty” Dear Heloise: We are campers. I have bought many plastic tarpaulins with grommets on each end, only to have the grommets tear loose when trying to tie them to trees with a rope. I had my wife sew a wide hem along two ends of my new plastic tarp. We threaded this with a rope. Now we can tie each end to trees and not have to use the grommets. I am sure many other campers will find this a valuable idea, for it gives it the extra strength needed in a strong wind. Also, if you have an old plastic cloth and the grommets have already pulled out, all you have to do is cut off an inch or so and make a new thick hem. Incidentally, my wife turned the plastic edging under four times before sewing it. We found this made it much stronger. Fred * • • * Dear Folks: For those people who wear rubber slip-on sandals, are you
aware that they can be washed in the washing machine along with bath towels ? Sure gets them clean. If you are working in the garden and get the soles caked with mud, don’t try to wash them off, especially if it’s the gummy kind of mud. All you have to do is turn them upside down until the mud dries. Then on whack across anything and that old mud will drop right off in a chunk. Heloise * • • • Dear Heloise: I made some durable shoe bags out of a pair of my old corduroy slacks. I cut them off at the knees, and stitched across the edge and up the middle. Then I put a drawstring in the top using the original hem for the casing. I just slide a shoe in each compartment when traveling. The shine is protected and my clothes in my bag are not soiled by the shoes. Irma
District judge denies petition MEMPHIS, Tenn. UPI —U.S. District Judge Robert McRae Monday denied the petition of an Illinois man who charged that his constitutional rights were violated south by government prosecutors and his own
defense attorneys.
James L. Singleton, Peoria, HI., was transferred here from the federal prison at Terre Haute, Ind., for the hearing. Singleton was sentenced to two consecutive five-year terms in September, 1965, for viola-
tion of the Mann Act.
In his petition, Singleton charged government attorneys threatened two women with Imprisonment, forcing them to give false testimony against him. He also charged he was not represented effectively by his attorney, H. T. Etheridge
Jr.
He was charged with taking two women from Jackson, Tenn., to Peoria for immoral purposes.
The circulation of such a ] story will do Hoover no harm at the White House. President Johnson is another big believer in subdued suit colors, conservatively cut and pressed at all times. He does not mind pale pastel shirt colors, but he dislikes strong colors for busi-
ness wear.
His attitude toward buttondown collars is mixed. The President wears so-called tab collars cut rather high, but even these have a rather formal appearance. He regards shirts, or any item of clothing at all informal, as not suited for White House business—except on Sat'
urdays.
On Saturday, conservative blazers are accepted. Hoover visits the President at times to discuss security matters and since they both have much the same conservative clothing tastes, it might be highly interesting to hear them evaluate a tense urban situation. “You certainly called the shots on disturbances in that
town.” “Yes, Mr. President, there were entirely too many men going about their business in mismatched coats and trousers.” “Undependable, that sort.” “And did you see those pictures of the mayor in a sports shirt? No tie at all.” “Can’t expect much from that sort of leadership.”
Historic note: Discussing the sartorial taste of his brother, Robert, the late President John F. Kennedy once said, “He’s still wearing button-down collars.” Which he, the President did not.

Cong letter says 2 men are alive PHNOM PENH, Cambodia UPI —Prince Norodom Sihanouk said Monday he has received a letter from the Viet Cong saying Gustav Hertz of Leesburg, Va., and Douglas Ramsey of Boulder City, Nev., are alive. Both men have been prisoners of the Viet Cong for months. Hertz, chief of the U. S. Aid mission to South Vietnam, is the highest ranking American civi lian in Communist hands. He was kidnapped by the Viet Cong Feb. 2, 1965, while riding his motorbike through the country' side. Ramsey, also serving as an aid official, was kidnapped Jan. 17, 1966, 35 miles northeast of Saigon. Sihanouk, Cambodia’s chief of state, told a news conference he had received a letter Sunday from Nguyen Huu Tho, chairman af the National Liberation Front, the political arm of the Viet Cong, saying the men were alive but that no measures would be taken to release them. A Viet Cong radio broadcast in June indicated that Hertz had been executed, but the wording was vague and U.S. officials appealed to the Viet Cong for more information.
