bert Hoover, jr.. and they just about
run things at the White House when
they pay their grandparents visit.
| President Hoover pampers these
| youngsters frightfully. When Peggy
Ann, who Is 3, and Herbert, who is all
of year old, tire of riding horseback
on grandpa's knee they vie with each
other for possession Of his papers or
books or pipe. Mr.. Hoover is an indul-
gent grandparent. and he will chuckle
merrily at the antics Of the little mis-
chiefmakerS.
A LII Of the children and grandchil-
dren were at the White House dur

cupancy by the Hoovers. Herbert. jr..
the older son, took time of from his
new duties as radio adviser with a
prominent aviation concern to witness
his fathers induction into the presi-
dency and. with his charming young
wife, stayed at the White House until
all the festivities of the period i'm
mediately ensuing were over. Allan the
other son, took leave from his senior
classes at Stanford to spend inaugura-
ton week with his parents. Allan is
going to be an engineer. like his father.
The two are great pals. Allan ac-
companied his father on one Of the
flood relief trips In the Mississippi

of going there at vacation time.
Some time during the next four
years Mr. Hoover intends to make visits
to Texas, Mexico, Cuba, Porto Rico.

the Capital. He already has promised
President Machado Of Cuba that he
