Ike Begs Queen
Send Him Princess
Anne’s Cooking
By EDDY GILMORE
BALMORAL, Scotland, UP* —
President Eisenhower said good
bye to Queen Elizabeth II Satur
day morning and begged her to
send him some of Princess Anne’s
-cooking.
“Are you going to learn to
cook?” the President asked as he
Jratted the 9-year-old Princess on
the head. *
She grinned her reply.
' “I’ll send you some samples,”
•quipped the Queen.
“Iif you don’t,” said Ike, “I’ll
-bombard you with letters.”
Eisenhower said his farewell on
the lawn of Balmoral Castle
where he spent the night as guest
of the Queen and Prince Philip.
As the conversation centered
around Anne’s cooking, news
photographers moved in closer.
Prince Philip became irritated
with the lensmen — and almost
caused a scene.
Philip glared at them and said
to the President, “They want to
get a picture of the pimple.”
He referred to what was ob
viously a small pimple on his
own nose.
The President grinned, but
Prince Philip saw nothing funny
about the situation.
“Photographers always want
one more picture,” said Ike.
Princess Margaret — wearing a
pink tartan skirt and looking very
beautiful—appeared. She carried
a camera and started taking pic
tures of everything in sight, in
cluding the photographers.
Then came the highlight of the
morning as the Queen and the
President stood together looking
into one another’s eyes with
clasped hands.
For more than a minute they
stood — a markedly sincere mo
ment for both of them.
Veteran Pension
Bill Will Cost 10
Billion In 40 Years
WASHINGTON, M— President
Eisenhower Saturday signed a
veterans pension bill raising non
service connected benefits by 10
billion dollars over the next 40
years.
Eisenhower had until midnight
Tuesday to act, and there had
there had been some speculation
that he might veto it.
The White House announced the
President signed the measure at
Chequers, the country home of
British Prime Minister Harold
MacMillan near London, where
the *two were holding diplomatic
discussions.
The bill will have two principal
effects when it takes effect July
1, 1960:
1. It will make World War II
and Korean war widows eligible
for pension on the same basis as
World War I widows.
2. It will put the benefits of
all veterans and their dependents
going on the pension rolls in the
future on a sliding scale as deter
mined by need through income
limits.
The first feature will mean an
additional cost of about 22 billion
between now and the year 2000.
The second is expected to bring
a 12 billion saving.
T^ius there is a net increased
cost of about 10 billion dollars, to
be added to the 105 billion dollars
of benefits under present law for
the next four decades.

Eisenhower and
MacMillan Meet
By MARVIN ARROWSMITH
WENDOVER, England, UPi — In
the serene peace of the English
countryside, President Eisen
hower and Prime Minister Harold
MacMillan turned Saturday to a
discussion of Western strategy in
the cold war dealings with the So
viet Union.
The President, preparing for
his talks next month with Soviet
Premier KhJ-ushchev, arrived
shortly after midday for a week
end of conference at MacMillan’s
country estate, Chequers.
At Benson, 18 miles from Che
quers, a crowd of several;hundred
applauded and cheered as Eisen
hower stepped from a British jet
airliner. Crowds cheered Eisen
hower in the villages along the
way on the 40 - minute drive to
Chequers.
There was a brief demonstra
tion outside the gates at Che
quers by a few member of the
League of Empire Loyalists,
which never forgave the United
States for opposing Britain’s in
vasion of the Suez Canal Zone in
1956.
There was a scuffle between
a demonstrator and a spectator,
but it was unlikely either Mac
Millan or Eisenhower saw it be
cause their car passed swiftly
through the gate.
The dav was beautiful—clear,
*
crisp and brilliantly sunny.
Eisenhower and MacMillan
rode in a gray Rolls Royce con
vertible with the top down. The
smiling President frequently tip
ped his hat to folks who called
out cheery greetings.
The Eisenhower - MacMillan
meeting, which British newspap
ers Have dubbed “The Little Sum
mit,” has no fixed agenda.
The colors of dawn are purer
and colder than the sunset colors
because there is less dust in the
atmosphere to cause sifting of the
light rays.
