PRESIDENT PROTECT
ED ON FISHING TRIP
i ■
HE PLANS OFFSHORE
CRUISE IN GULF
TO TAKE TARPON
(By The Associated Press)
WASHINGTON, D. C., (AP)—
It takes ten secretaries, a dozen
secret service men and a navy
crew to back-stop the President
in catching a fish but his contin
ued good health undoubtedly jus
tifies it.
His April trip to the gulf, whi
ch started with his departure
from Washington, April 27, will
oarry him to New Orleans by
train and by boat into shallow
water some distance off shore
where he will try for tarpon, a
big man-sized fish whose capture
means work for anybody.
He will be off shore for a week
and out of contact with every
thing but essential business that
can be radioed between ship and
shore.
1 Constant Guard
He came back from Warm
Springs rested and tanned, but
much driving around to this and
that affair lost him the relaxa
tion he expects from a week of
fishing and loafing in the warm
guLf sun.
On trips of this nature he takes
an operating White House staff
including Marvin H. McIntyre,
assistant secretary, two personal
secretaries, four stenographers,
military and navy aides, and his
personal attendant. Most of these
including McIntyre, not a deep
Church Social
Next Thursday
Thursday evening, April 29,
at 6:30 p.m. there will be anoth
er social evening at the Feder
ated Church to which all are
most cordially invited. The ev
ening will begin with a potluck
supper. Each family is asked to
bring a hot dish, a pie, and sand
wiches. Coffee and cream will be
provided. Those who do not have
families and who do not cook
their own meals are urged to
come anyway, as there is al
ways an abundance of food at
such dinners.
There will be no charge for
this social. The dinner will be
followed by a hobby program and
games arranged by the social
committee. All who have hobbies
which they would like to exhibit
of talk about for a few minutes,
are invited to bring them for the
pleasure of all.
The purpose of this social is
purely sociability, and it is hop
ed that a goodly number will
participate.
Galveston a few days later as the
President’s craft idles that way.
The half dozen newsmen with
the party will follow on shore,
since the President wants no au
dience.
But the secret service will not
be kept at arms length in any
such manner. Whither the Pres
ident goerth, they also go. They
will be on the Potomac, the Pres
ident’s yacht. They work in
shifts, just as in Washington. At
least one is on duty throughout
the night, oft-times in a small
power boat in which he patrols
the waves around the yacht
while the President sleeps. His
lover of the sea, establish head
quarters ashore.
On the gulf trip headquarters
will be set up first at New Or
leans but will move westward to

job is to herd off sightseers and
others.
The Potomac, once called the
Electra. was intended as a pro
hition boat for the coast guard.
It was completed In 1933 but nev
er chased a rum runner as it was
commandeered for the White
House almost at once and remod- j
eled along the lines of a yacht, j
It is 165 feet long but its rum- j
chaser lines make it no seamen’s;
dream for comfort. It was built j
of shallow draft so it could pur-1
sue runners into shallow water, j
But its 8-foot draft lets it roll and :
a less seaworthy President might j
find no relaxation in it at all. J
It is ideal, however, for the sort j
of fishing Roosevelt plans.
Some phases of this job of be- j
ing President are not so bad. I

NEW YORK, April 28, -^De
fending capitalism, James R.
Cromwell, husband of Doris Duke
the righest girl in the world,
said today that true capitalism
is not dead because it has never
lived.
“The fact is that capitalism is
an ideal, and has never been
truly achieved because* it means
economy, free and fair competi
tion for profit, continuous work,
and an opportunity for all. No in
formed persons claim that such
a system ever existed,” he de
clared.
