Tut Up to Board Adoption of the plan by the commission yesterday came after Mayor Bowron, who halted action two weeks ago for further information, removed his objections in a letter to the board. One portion of the Mayor's letter contained this statement: "The decision now rests with the board and the board must assume full responsibility for the effect of its action, not only within the department but with reference to ultimate adjustment of salaries of public employees in this area that will undoubtedly be made prior to the beginning of the next fiscal year."

FOOD The statisticians got busy with the White House menu and decided that (1) the President is going to wind up by being undernourished and (2) even so they're spending more than the minimum weekly food budget of $1.50 for mod-ately active adults, set by the Red Cross. They say the meatless day menu gave White House occupants only 1260 calories for two meals and yesterday's poultryless day menu only 1735 calories for the two meals. Since the estimated needs for a moderately active man are 3000 calories, it looks as if the President would have eat a big breakfast to catch up. Cost estimate for groceries is over $8 a day without breakfast ODDS AXD ENDS Did you know that former Ambassador to the Court of St. James Joe Kennedy paid several million dollars for the Merchandise Wart in Chicago without ever having seen the building?
