bearing parcels flowing to the
Chief Executive doubles or

commentators announce that, the

heavy blankets, woolen socks,
earmuffs, hotwater bottles and
homemade remedies.
Most packages sent to the
President, however, contain food,

A drninistratIon,
The steady stream of gifts ar-
riving at the White House pre-
sents a problem. All of them, of
course, are acknowledged, but
many must be returned, especial-
ly the expensive ones. Obviously,
the President cannot accept gifts
that might put him under obliga-
tion to the sender. And many of
the items sent are nothing the
Chief Executive wants or can
use, Much of the food is turned
over to various charities around
Washington. And the local zoo
often receives an addition to its
menagerie from among the
President's gifts.
There's never a dull moment
at the White House mail room.
As comical or serious as the huge
stacks of letters and packages
arriving each day may be, they
indicate the personal interest and
concern the average citizen takes
in his government and its Chief
Executive.
Crosses Atlantic
Single-Handed
Sailing alone through fogs and
gales of the North Atlantic in
his 39-foot Gipsy Moth III, Fran-
cis Chichester, a British map
publisher, has won the first-
ever single-handed trans-Atlantic
yacht race.
Mr. Chichester crossed the
finish line at Ambrose Lightship
at New York July 21, 40 days
after he left Plymouth, England.
The brave, lone sailor traversed
the traditional Great Circle
Route just north of the main
ocean liner path, and docked
at the Sheepshead Bay Yacht
-Club ahead of four other com-
petitors, three British and one
French.
His wife,. Sheila, was there to
greet him. She had been stand-
ing by for several days. On four
days she chartered a fishing craft
and went to scout the approaches
to the finish line. Others search-
ed for him from planes and
'tugboats. Word of Mr. Chiches-
ter's arrival finally came
through from the United States
Coast Guard, when he was sight-
ed 30 miles off Ambrose Light.
Mr. Chichester learned his
navigation in an airplane. He
nearly broke the westbound
trans-Atlantic sailing record of
37 days set in 1950 by a two-
man crew. Re was the ()nest
competitor in the group, and, ac-
cording to The Observer, of
London (which has bought the
rights to the pioneering yachts-
man's story), he "knows as well
as any man alive what it feels
like to be utterly alone and com-
pletely dependent on one's -own
brain and skill."
In New Zealand and England,
the winner has been a miner, a
farmer, and a forester, as well as
an aviator. Since the end of
World War II he has had his
own firm, which publishes
chiefly small pocket maps, writes
Mary Hornaday in the Chris-
tian Science Monitor.
Main object of the history
making transoceanic yacht race,
sponsored by the Royal Western
Yacht Club of Great Britain, is
to promote new designs and•
ideas for sailing vessels.

HOME RUN MARK - Ted Williams, big stick man for the Boston
Red Sox, holds the ball he belted out of the Cleveland Indians'
park, for his 500th major league homer, With this wallop
Williams joined Babe Ruth, Jimmy Foxx and Mel Ott in a select
500-homers group.
Two Oki stars
Keep On Swinging
It sounded like wishful think-
ing. "Pfn in good shape," Stan.
Musial insisted before en exiii-
leitioie game in Florida last
March, "I've been exercising
and I feel stXOng. I'm swinging
real good." When the game be-
gen, Musial twisted himself in.-
Ike his eurielle crouched stance,
unwound - and struck out.
"Pm afraid Stan's through," said
tearnmate.
Ted Williams, some 2,300
miles away in Arizona, wasn't
striking out - he wasn't even
'swinging. His neck numbed by
a pinched nerve, his back stiff
with pain, Williams skipped ex-
(hibitions and shunned batting
practice, "Ted's through," a
Boston reporter 'flatly predict-
ed.
But last month, in the two
All-Star games at Kansas City
and New York, the players for
whom cheers rang loudest were
the two old men, and the cheers
were not mere sentiment, In
1959 both men made the All-
Star squads purely in homage
to the past; this year they won
their places on. merit. At 41,
Williams, with fourteen home
runs for Boston, was batting
,341, the highest average in the
American League. At 39, Musial,
with 21 hits in his last 37 times
at bat for St. Louis, had raised
his average to .300.
"When you get to my age,
Williams said, as he rested in
the lockerroom before the se-
cond All-Star game, "baseball
determines everything you do.
You can't go to a social gather-
ing and enjoy yourself the way
you'd like to,"
On the field, Musial hustled
about, shagging fly balls, laugh-
ing, and joking. "I said in the
spring I felt good," he recalled,
"and I meant it. I'm still strong.
I'm ready for the rest of the
season."
In the game, won by the Na-
tional Leaguers, 6-0 ,they also
won the first, 5-3), Musial pinch-
hit in tbe seventh inning. He
took a strike 'from former team-
mate Gerry Staley, then lashed
out at a sinker. The ball sailed
high into the right-field upper
deck for Musial's record sixth
All-Star home run.
A few minutes later, Williams
,pinoh-hit. He slapped a single
into right field. "It was a noth-
ing curve," he explained, "and
I hit it the same way."
In the dressing room, Williams
eat on a stool by his locker,
twin rolls of fat creasing the
waistline that once was flat and
hard. "I'm not going to hit .340
this year," he said, easily. "I just
-want to hit .300. I'm tired. I
need a rest. This has to be my
." It was apparent that he
had started to say, "my last
year." He hesitated. "When
Feel good," he said, "I can still
hit."
Musial, across the catacombs
of the Stadium, felt the same, "I
can hit," he said. "I can still
hit,"
Q. How can I prevent the in-
teriors of metal or brass planters
from rusting through?
A. By lining the planters with
aluminum foil.

Odd Mail Flows
To U.S• President
"Dear Mr. President.. „" Each
day several thousand citizens
write a letter to their President
on every conceivable subject
from how to raise money for a
new church to instructions for
making a banana pie. The old,
the young, the rich, the poor -
all contribute to the overpacked
mail bags arriving at the White
House. Some offer advice . on
world affairs; others berate the
President for his decisions.
A hobbyist requests an auto-
graph; a poverty-stricken moth:"
er asks financial aid for her
children; an admirer sends best
wishes. Most correspondents are
sincere, although numerous
busybodies and deluded persons
also write.
Americans have always felt
free to write the man they select
for the nation's highest office.
President Eisenhower's mail -
letters, post cards, and telegrams
- comes from every corner of
the land and many foreign coun-
tries.
In addition to their penchant
for writing letters, Americans
revel in showering their lead-
ing citizens with gifts. Each mail
brings hundreds of packages of
all sizes and descriptions. Favor-
ite presents include prize-win-
ning fruits and vegetables, the
biggest melons, turkeys, hams;
and game. Various items of
clothing also arrive daily, such
as neckties, satin pajamas, and
underwear. A music-lover ships
a ukelele with an instruction
book; a kid forwards a stack of
comic books; and one misguided
woman even sent her gold teeth
because she heard it was illegal
to hoard gold.
Fifty years ago, the Chief Exe-
cutive thought he had broken a
record if his mail reached the
staggering total of 100 letters
daily, By President Hoover's
time the volume had swelled to
some 800 a day. During the first
months of the New Deal, the
daily average often reached 8,000
to 10,000. Soon after Mr. Eisen-
hower's inauguration, he was re-
ceiving around 25,000 messages.
A corps of clerks under the
Chief of Mails handles this huge
influx, In the old days, one per-
son could handle the compara-
tive trickle of mail arriving at
the White House mail room. But
today the mammoth job requires
a staff numbering in the scores,
and at peak periods in the hun-
dreds. The, staff sorts, analyzes,
and dispatches incoming mail to
the proper office for reply.
First, the clerks separate the
President's personal mail and
deliver it to him unopened. This
duty calls for an excellent me-
mory and an eye trained. to pick
out the handwriting and sta-
tionery of the Chief Executive's
close friends. Happily, the mail-
room staff rarely opens an en-
velope from one of the Presi-
dent's private correspondents.
Most of the letters addressed to
him, however, pass through an
electric letter opener, after
which the clerks go to work
reading and segregating it.
Readers examine each mes-
sage. An efficient worker goes
through some 500 to 600 letters
a day, recording each one along
with a summary of its contents.
Then the letters are directed to
the White House staff, a govern-
ment agency, or some other de-
partment for handling. All, let-
ters are acknowledged or han-
dled in some other manner as
speedily as possible. Although
the President has time to read
only several samples of his mail-
each day, he does go over a tabu-
lated summary of it. In this way
he keeps his finger on the pulse
of public opinion and the senti-
ments of the ordinary voter.
Addresses on sothe of the let-
ters provide many a chuckle.
Some have been directed to "The
Onuble President," "Too Deer
President," "His Majesty of
USA," "Frankie Rassie Velt,"
and "Mr. Presadene Frakline
Rodserveet - if name spells
wrong please excuse."
At ...times artistically inclined
writers post letters to the White
House with nothing on the envel-
ope but a drawn caricature of
the President or some other sin-
gularly appropriate sketch. A
favorite trick during Franklin
D. Roosevelt's administration
consisted of a picture of a rose
followed by the letters "v-e-l-t."
During Theodore Roosevelt's
tenure, numerous messages ar-
rived with only a cartoon of him
on the envelope, Sometimes a
sketch consisted only of a toothy
grin beneath a huge pair of
pince-nez spectacles. Happily,
post-office employees usually di-
rect such mail to the proper
place, writes Frank L. Reming-
ton in the Christian Science
Monitor.
There's no telling what a letter
might contain, for each day turns
up something new or bizarre.
One woman wrote Mr, Truman
that she was freezing during an
oil shortage. Would he help her
get some oil. He clid. A mother
sent Mr. Eisenhower her draft-
ed son's camp address. "If you
ever pass through that vicinity,"
she wrote "Will you please look
him up."
At Christmas or on the Presi-
dent's birthday the volume of
'lette'rs and telegrams swells con-
siderably, Once the people of
