By Marian Christy President John F. Kennedy, alone in his White House office and obviously tense, had just revealed to the American people that there was a major buildup of Soviet missiles in Cuba, It was Oct.

22, 1962 and he was in a blue mood. The office put through a telephone call to Traphes Bryant, now 61, and retired, then a White House kennel keeper. The President ordered his Welsh terrier, Charlie, brought to his office pronto. reminisces Bryant, knew things were hotter than hell. Yeah, the mood in the office was gloomy.

The President looked worried. He wanted to pet Charlie. The President needed the comfort of a loving dog See, a dog asks for nothing. A President sees kings and queens and politicians and everyone wants something There are no strings attached to the affection of a dog." Dapper Bryant who own a dog and looks like Capt. Kangaroo is a short, rotund man in a plaid jacket with snow-white hair carefully clipped into wavy bangs.

He has written his memoirs, based on a detail- filled diary in a book called Days at the White House." The book, based on president-watching through five administrations from Truman to Nixon, is more catty than doggy. In it Bryant reveals such gossipy tidbits as: liked to swim nude and so did some of the girls who popped in to visit Bryant claims he was present one night when the President went skinnydipping with a tall blonde Richard Nixon and his wife, Pat, very good friends but had separate Harry Truman like dogs but always kept a bottle of bourbon stashed in his bathroom. Eisenhower had no qualms about walking across White House parquet floors while wearing spiked golf shoes Lyndon Johnson "swore like a trooper" and it was for him to explode, complete with expletives, with or without pro-, vocation. "One day I was around when President Johnson came across a package on his desk and asked a secret service agent, 'What son of a bitch left this package here?" says Bryant. "Mr.

Johnson like colorful language." About the diary that led to the book: "Well." he smiles, started out as sort of a log, I simply kept a record of what was going on in my ship. I noted which dog got what shot, which dog had his or her teeth cleaned and which dog made messes at the wrong time. Then 1 added a few little anecdotes about the people around the dogs." Bryant disguise abundant affection for Jacqueline Kennedy Onassis whom he describes as pretty and warm-hearted. "Besides," he says, "she always treated me like a human being. If I happened to be anywhere near Jackie when she was entertaining visiting heads of states, she always called me over and made a proper introduction," Apparently the Kennedy marriage had its rough spots and Bryant was privy to some.

"The newspapers would tell how Jacqueline was off on another trip, but what they report was how anxious the President was to see her go," he says. More on Jacqueline: "She really enjoyed the White House dances. She flirted a lot with attractive men," says Bryant during an interview "Of course, any young woman who had a few drinks would have acted similarly. But, you know, she never expressed second thoughts the next day. The Kennedys were a young vibrant couple.

They never sat hack the way the Trumans and the Eisenhowers did." The dog that really melted Lyndon Johnson's heart, he says, was a white-furred mongrel called a Rod Stewart Finally NEW YORK (NEA) Well, he did it. After threatening to split from the Faces for more than a year now, Rod Stewart has terminated the boozie camaraderie for good Stewart cancelled a February tour of the Orient with the Faces complaining that lead guitarist Ronnie Wood appeared to be on permanent loan to the Rolling Stones (also rumored to break up this year). Earlier reports that Stewart and the Faces would ravage Britain this summer were only half right. Stewart plans to unveil his own band at a concert at Wembly stadium in June. Back: Belying his announcement two years ago that never perform live again, glitter pioneer David Bowie has scheduled a 35-city tour of the U.S.

beginning in February. Mainly prompting his change of heart was an estimated tour gross of $5.5 million. In March, he sets sail for Europe where further impetus to hit the road comes by way of another $2 million But sustaining his oath to never fly again, the Space Oddity has booked passage on an ocean lmer to Cannes. Once there, he will follow the tour route, including a few concerts behind the Iron Curtain, traveling exclusively by auto. His band and retinue will fly from city to city.

Prepare for enough Bowie hype later this month to antagonize parents and clergy all over again when his movie debut "The Man Who Fell to is released simultaneously with his next album, "Station to Grok and Roll The movie is described as a loose adaptation of Robert science fiction classic "Stranger in a Strange Land" with Bowie providing the film score and appearing in a comparatively straight dramatic role. Down at his heels: Elton John has abandoned his flashy trademark for another sole. The lofty platform outrages he usually laces about his feet have been banished to the closet since he purchased four pairs of negative sole shoes, you know, those health shoes that make you waddle. Win Lose; The originators of the occasionally vulgar "Fish" cheer that punctuated so many campus anti-war demonstrations six years ago, have reunited Country Joe the Fish will soon be recording again with a tour not far behind Bad news is that the Beau recent reorganization has been marred by the defection of guiding light Ron Elliott to a new group.

Still Crazy (Paul Simon) Billboard 1976 Segarim's romantic instincts and quaint refusal to admit the Camelot days of Beatlesque baroque are long gone, are both the forte and undoing His clipped technique on guitar and inchoate lyrics dominate the first American album "We're No Angels" (Columbia), making Segarini the architect of a structure that commences to teeter slightly after a few listens. But Segarini begs the uninitiated not to judge the band solely on We re No Angels, explaining it was recorded in March of last year, less than six months after the band had formed According to him. the Lp is "only a sampler of our sound We re not too pleased with the album because it lacks a definite direction "We were a new band then, still experimenting with each other We re much tighter he says "Our live shows prove that Anyone seen us in concert can see how much grown since finishing the album Segarini claims the Dudes now reflect more of each material than last year's vinyl premier Bassist "Kooth" Trochim and drummer Wayne Cullen fell under spell years ago in earlier bands but the Henmen brothers are insurance the Dudes will head in their own direction. "Our songs now lean the same way as the Segarini says.

"Those songs by us of teenage lament are pure April Wine Segarini is eager to promote that combined sound over his own but is by no means sheepish about his ample songwriting accomplishments with the Wackers "We were doing the right thing at the wrong he explains. "We were ahead of the '70s surge toward recreating the mid-60s sound For that matter, the Wackers were wearing makeup as early as 1971, two years before other bands," he boasts "The Wackers split up mainly because of problems with Elektra. our record label They promote us so we never stood a chance of making it in the U.S. "We cut a live album in Canada and the hardcore fans went crazy trying to get it but our label release it The only Lp they distributed in the States was and as we became more outrageous, they became more reluctant to push us So they shelved the live album and we felt that was the last straw I asked them not too long ago how much they wanted for the rights to the master tapes and they said $75,000 never release it, just let it sit somewhere and collect dust." Segarini parries any suggestions that the Dudes might be considered fossils by the current crop of rockophiles. "I think people will still dig us We have to have a clavinet in the background with us shouting Right to get people excited name meaning snow- white Bryant Luci found the dog in a itation and brought it "home" to the White Houne The President treated the animal "like a mutt" until Yuki opened mouth and started to and the ident astounded Bryant mv "Maybe Yuki a carnival dog But, let me tell you, that dog quickly cemented a friendship with Mr Johnson, One day the President picked up Yuki and leaned back in easy chair.

It have been some sort of cue Yuki started to sing. Oh, did the President like that little act Yesiree. he liked that show-off dog Pretty Yuki was singing at parties Bryant is an elect ncian by- trade and a dogkeeper by accident It was President Kennedy who asked Bryant to look after his dog Charlie After that, he became the "official" White House dog deeper "The new responsibilities mean more pay but certainly opened up interesting new perspectives." Bryant. Because of his new "closeness" to President Kennedy, for example, he was stalked by newspaper re porters who wanted "inside information" about how much Jacqueline was spending for her designer clothes and if the Kennedy's were having tiffs Even the questions were an "answer" for Bryant who dr cided that what would sell his book about dogs "would be stories about the people around the He says, White House has the same emotional ingredients of any house and what people understand is other emotions. The House walls bounced with tears and laughter and fights and love and diplomacy and disasters," says Bryant.
