ident's first trip into the Yosemite.
Yesterday while the president was
at San Francisco he heard that it
was the plan of the park officials to
have a troop of cavalry act as his
escort for day among the big
trees, but this has been dispensed
with at his request as he wants the
trip through the park to be devoid
of any spectacular features.
