But today was different. The questions, like the headline news, were almost exclusively focused on the same topic: The troubling question of integration. For 16 minutes no other subject even was mentioned. In the remaining 10 minutes there were but the briefest of timeouts for the Middle East, for the budget, for what, if anything, does the administration plan to do about corruption in union-management relations? As Eisenhower said, every question seemed to be on the same subject and some were deeply philosophical. But now, a word about Eisenhower himself. Probably as a concession to the cameras, he was dressed all In blue, light blue suit and shirt, dark blue tie. They made his eyes look bluer, and went well with his golf course tan.* For anyone seeking some sure, firm answers, this must have been a disappointing 26 minutes. No statement of how long the troops would be in Little Rock. No formula for how this problem can be solved easily. Instead there were such sentences as these: "I don't know really of much more that can be done," and, "This is not, I admit, a very persuasive answer." As the questions ranged over the integration field, and Eisenhower's attempt to handle them all, he raised his voice for emphasis only once. That's when he said: "The courts must be sustained.' Though there often are light- hearted moments at these gatherings, today there was but one. That was when the President was asked if he thought the Navy football team should play in an Oyster Bowl game in Norfolk, Va., before an audience that would be segregated. Eisenhower kicked that one to the superintendent of the Naval Academy. "I've got enough problems," he said. Seomwhat ruefully, he joined in the laughter. Well, the conference ended, and Eisenhower went back to his problems. It was a lovely day outside. The fountains on the White House lawn looked beautiful. Ditto for the flowers. Ditto for the falling leaves, some of which had been, raked into a tidy pile. Nice for jumping in purposes should the Eisenhower grandchildren come visiting. The White House squirrels hustled about. Typically American, these squirrels. Though never spurning any free handout, ,they were toting nuts to their nests in a fine display of free enterprise. You couldn't help thinking as you strolled by the White House, with the many problems that somehow, some way must be solved, that this is one of those days when it's great not to be President of the United States.

Six Girls Overpower Jailer; Flee HELENA, Mont., Oct. 3 W-Six teenage girls overpowered their jailer and escaped from the Lewis and Clark County Jafl. today, but all were apprehended within five hours. Noble P. Evans, the jailer was fired by Sheriff Dave Middlemas who said: "Opening the door to the juvenile ward violated strict orders regarding operations of the jail." HH Five of the girls had been transferred to the jail after they rioted last week at the nearby Montana Vocational School for Girls.
