(NEA) Byron Holcomb, 12, had red hair, freckles, a saddle, and a pasture. What he wanted was a pony. So he carried his problem to the very top, the President of the United States, Today he has the pony.

He was spurred on by a recent news announcement thin President Eisenhower had been given two horses within a single week, That night, By rushed through his sixth-grade homework. Then he took out a plain piece of paper and wrote: "Dear Ike, "I just heard over the radio that you have been given TWO horses this week.

The only mother Byron has ever known, Mrs. Nichols receives $105 every to support the two of them. The tension comes because her son Byron's father was killed during the wJir. By wrote the letter before President Eisenhower suffered his heart attack. It reached Ike in his Denver Hospital bed.

The President smiled as he read the penciled scrawl: "I will work to pay for rny Grandma's and my room and board. I can do milking and lots of chores. Grandma is a good cook. "I am 11 years old, red curly hair, brown eyes, five foot tall, weigh about 90 pounds. And I can lift 50 pounds.

"I can ride very good. I have my own saddle and pad and bridle but not halter or rope and no horse and will mow the lawn. Can you use me and Grandma on your farm please now. Grandma knows I am writing this letter, "I remain your friend, Byron Eugene Holcomb." "Grandma" saw the note and added one of her own. "I do hope," she wrote, "that you are allowed to pass on this letter from Byron.

His only desire is a house in the country and to be allowed to ride a horse. He is a Handy little fellow and could earn his keep. "This is not a charity letter. Neither is it a publicity stunt President Eisenhower, after read- One-Mon Peace Mission Won't Give Up Cause JERUSALEM tall, haggard man of about 30 told Israeli officials here several days ago he planned to cross the Israel-Jordan frontier under a White flag to Induce the Arabs to make peace with Israel.
