MORTIMER INCOME TAX 324 2nd Ave. Phone 88 QUIET REIGNS AT TRUMAN'S WHITE HOUSE By VIRGINIA VAN DER VEER WASHINGTON After onu year of residence by the, Truman family, the White House is a quiet place these days, compared to the Roosevelt era. Closed to everyday tourists since before the war, it Is no longer a national "open house." During the ypars when the big and well-to-do Roosevelt family occupied the While House, relatives, friends and foreign dignitaries came and went through the white-columned por tico almost dally. Nearly every one knew their names grandchildren "Slstie" and "Buzzic" Dajl; the President's friend Harry Hopkins and his young daughter Diana", the Roosevelt sons and their college friends? King George and Queen Elizabeth of England; the Winston Churchllls; Mrs. James Roosevelt, the President's mother. Ttie Trumans, who live on a President's salary, have few house guests, most of them old friends of Missouri days. Daughter Margaret has given only one party In the ballroom of her new home. As yet, there has been no revival of the state dinners and receptions of peacetime. At the front door of the bl? house a courtly Negro usher is on hand to take the caller's hat, coat or umbrella. The entrance hall is bqunded by high mirrors at either end. On one wall is a large protralt of Franklin Roosevelt. Tills Is a home of portraits and history. Here arc portraits of Teddy Roosevelt, Wood-row Wilson, Calvin Coolidge and others.

The blue room, stiffly formal In stark white and deep blue. The cast room, best known of all, with its three gleaming chandeliers. Each room has Its traditional function. The President receives foreign diplomats in the blue room. ' Mrs. Truman sees guests in the red room, where a fire lightens the walls in winter. The huge cast room Is for state receptions and formal occasions. Teas are held at four and again at five the same afternoon. Between hours one day. a lone woman guest was spied" rambling happily unescorted through the house. She had ar rived late, she explained to surprised attendants, and Mrs. Truman had told her she could wait and come through the receiving line again. . It takes money to keep the big j house going. Before the war.: annual expenses for Its, main-1 tenance and the salaries of about 50 employes averaged around $140,000. Tills year, the Nation-' al Park Service, which runs the mansion, asked Congress for $184,000 to cover extra help fori post-war parties. There Isn't much talk yet of' opening the downstairs corrl dors and rooms to tourists again. 1 A strange combination of prl-; vate home and public museum the White House has never decided just where to draw the line between its two function? But there are indications the gracious, old mansion may return this fall to its pre-war ; character. Washington society j is hoping for Its first, real White House season since 1941.
