PRESIDENT TO GET
COVETED TURKEY
Florida Governor viii Send
Wild Bird to Warm
Springs.
BY ]. RUSSELL YOUNG,
Stan Correspondent Of The Star.

WARM SPRINGS, Ga, November
22.-One of the Presidents big prob
lens has been settled since coming
here to his little home on Pine Noun
tain-how he was to get wild turkey
for Thanksgiving.
If it had been merely matter of
domestic turkey of noble size there
would have been no problem, but Mr..
Roosevelt had his heart set on a wild
turkey, for which the Southland Is
famous.
Gov. David Sholtz of Florida, who
visited the President yesterday. is 60
ing to supply it. He has given orders
to one of his State game wardens to
scour the jungles of Florida until he
has bagged the biggest and best-look-
ing wild turkey to be found and then
to ship it to Warm Springs.
Mr.. Roosevelt, as usual, will eat his
turkey dinner with the patients and
his other friends at the Warm Springs
Foundation Sanitarium, and this bird
will grace his individual table, at
which will be seated Mrs. Roosevelt
and about dozen of the patients.
The latter already have drawn lots for
this honor. The others will be seated
at other tables in the large dining
hall.
First Gift of Governor.
As far back as any one can remem-
ber some admiring friend has seen to
it that the President and his family
had a big turkey for Thanksgiving
Frequently the donor has been some
humble and obscure citizen. This year
will mark the first Thanksgiving tur-
key supplied a President by State
Governor
It is understood that the PRESIDENT S
desire for wild turkey this year was
created some weeks ago by Stephen
T. Early, one Of his secretaries.
After a recent visit to the Wood
mont Rod and Gun Club. in the
mountains Just beyond Frederick. Md,
Early told the President how plenti-
full were the wild turkeys. He told OF
their great size and beauty and inti-
mated also something about how easy
it would be for him to bring down a
dozen or two with his trusty gun.
Overheard Conversation.
Not having heard anything more
from Secretary Early and his trusty
gun, the President was beginning to
fear his dreams for a wild turkey din
ner would not be realized. He con-
fided his fears to Secretary M. f
Mcintyre. The latter was talking
over the long distance phone yester-
day to some friend whom he thought
might help solve the problem. Gov.
Sholtz of Florida was sitting in an
ante-room waiting for Mcintyre to
accompany him to the Presidents
cottage and he heard the telephone
conversation. When Mcintyre received
the Governor he was surprised when
Sholtz nonchalantly told him he was
shipping a wild turkey to the Presi-
dent.
President Roosevelt continued his
work in his cottage today with a
heavy rain falling outside 1t was a
gloomy picture from his window, but
Mr.. Roosevelt went about his tasks
with happy smile. He had made no
engagements for the day.

White House Goodness

Any one perched in a White House

President Bill Green raises his nose

servers also could tell you that Mr..
Green meyer has been inside the White
House gate since long before Presi-
dent Roosevelt broadcast his appeal
for a strike truce two months ago.
Mr.. Green's sensational silence on
that subject is proof enough of the

On December IS The Star and
Warner Bros theaters will hold
their fourth annual Christmas
toy matinees, to make sure that
every needy child in Washington
will receive a new Christmas gift.
Last year 10000 new toys and

- ANITA CLAUS LAND, November
22.-In q previous dispatch I
mentioned the great record
~ rooms in which Santa's gnomes
keep the records Of the good
and bad deeds Of the children In the
world How one entire floor was oc-
cupied by the territory Of the United
States. How we found the expedition
already recorded there which was sent
out by The Star to discover the home
Of Santa Claus and the names Of the
children in Washington.
You will recollect how we marveled
at this and when we asked Santa how
he could obtain this information,
Santa promised to show us the great
secret of his information about all the
boys and girls.
He made good his word.
This morning Santa informed us
that after our strenuous day with Jack
Frost yesterday ne would give us an
easier time Of it today, and would
drive us to his great magic observa-
tory. which is located at the top Of an
ice mountain not far from the castle
We left our reindeer at the foot of
the mountain and climbed a stairway
cut into the sheer wall of ice It was
long, slippery and dangerous climb.
We were soon putting from the exer-
tion. but Santa Claus was neither
putting nor painting when we arrived
at the top.
Here stood large dome-shaped
building. In its center was a mirror
like pool Of mercury, out of which rose
great base supporting huge tele-
scope. A stairway led to an observa-
tory platform on one end Of the tele-
scope.
I looked from the platform along
the range Of the telescope, but saw
nothing but the vast expanse Of ice
fields, jagged mountain peaks, miles
Of tundra and far to the north a long
line of icebergs.
Near me on the table lay gigantic
book, on which entries of the land
were made, the State, town and names
of children, and on the margin re-
marks regarding the behavior and
gifts.
Here is where I spend most of my
time during the year, when am not

was, of course. wondering how it
was possible for Santa Claus to see
by day or night distant places through
this telescope. Santa explained his

The situation is beginning to be
just as important as that recently
patched-up under-cover estrangement
of the White House and the United
States Chamber of Commerce. It Is
beginning to crop out in news ways,
as, for instance. in Mr. Green's state
ment last Tuesday that he would CO.
operate with the White House and the
Chamber Of Commerce whenever they
agreed to apply section IA.
Such harsh words amid all the
s,Deet harmony pdldDer that is going
around Washington now indicate
there is something deeper than
casual misunderstanding at the
bottom of the sttudtton-and there
is

What A. F. of L. Thinks.

The unexpressed A. F. of L. view
point may be thumbnailed as follows:
Mr.. Green's boys are fed up with
the Auto Labor Board. headed by an
A. F. Of L. man, Leo Wolman. They
are on the verge Of saying they will
no longer do business with the board
because it has not handed down a
single decision since it was created
last Spring. and they want a show
down on the merit clause.
The Green Shirts also want to know
more details about the proposed labor
truce before they agree to 1t. Par
ticularly. they want employers to
agree to abide by the rulings of the
National Labor Relations Board.

That Fatal Letter.

MIR. Green was at the San Fran
cisco convention of his outfit when
the strike truce offer was made. He
came back to Washington in q high
dugeon. Now every one knows that
letters should not be written even
in a low dudgeon. The best practice
is to wait until after the dudgeon has
been slept of, but so few people do
it. Mr.. Green did not. He had many
matters to take up with the White
House, most Of them critical. Among
them was a convention resolution, de-
manding retirement Of N. r. A.-er
Clay williams.
Those on the inside say Mr.. Green
took his pen in hand, dipped it in his
dudgeon and scribbled a note to the
White House, making a list Of de-
mands and asking to see the Presi-
dent. He did not suggest anything
He demanded it.
Letter peppers soy the White
House response was prompt but
naiDe 1t expressed surprise that
Mr.. Green should make such de-
nldnds and failed to make any re.
SponSe at all regarding Mr.. GREEN'S
request for an appointment. 1t ,Dds
just polite pay OF telling Mr..
Green to 90 roll his oats.
Big Strikes Threaten.
This personal situation becomes Of
ficially important when you consider
that three big strike threats are pend
ing-automobiles, steel and West
Coast shipping. These strikes really
have been only delayed so far. not
settled. They could cause q bad set
back to the cooperative recovery
movement now under way.
Close observers have considered 1t
strange all along that the admins
tration and the A. r. Of L. have been
no closer than the six city blocks
which separate the White House from
A. F. of L. headquarters. The ex-
PLANTATION is that President Roosevelt
is trying to do middle-of- -the-road
job. Also that the White House gets
labor advice from labor leaders with
in the New Deal, thus reaching over
the heads Of A. F. Of L. officials to
the workers themselves.
There is q good reason for be-
Heuing, therefore, that the A. F. OF
L. needs Mr.. Roosevelt lot more
than Mr. Roosevelt needs the A. F.
OF L. Indeed, there are some w1lo
feel that the Netr Deal is circHn-
penting the A. r. OF L. in its moDe
for labor protection, and that the
A. F. OF L. eventually may become
obsolete.

Monte Waterbury.
A day or two ago I ran across Larry
Waterbury. and the first natural ques-
ton to ask was the old-time polo of
team play compared with the modern
idea Of hard hitting and hard riding.
He wasn't any too keen to talk about
it. But he finally gave in.
Don't class me-" he said. with those
who believe everything good belonged
to the past. I don't But I honestly
believe the old Meadowbrook four could
give any modern team S goals and win.
What they are playing today is fast and
interesting. perhaps. but 1t isn't polo.
There is no team play left. and polo
is essentially team-play game
Team play is the foundation of high
class polo. Today they ride hard and
they hit hard. They try for goals $50
yards away. But they miss the skin
of working together. They miss the
true art of polo as it was meant to be
played. Can you imagine a high-class
polo game played with 18 fouls called2
Ihere is no personal side to my
opinion. 1t is merely matter of smart,
Keen team play against individual ef-
Tort. And as I said before polo to me
still Is the final word in team play
against any slam-bang individual per-
formance. But I'd certainly like to see
the old guard, at their best, against
the pick of any modern four. I still
think We could spot them from S to 8
goals-and win. They are playing some
thing very wellEbut it doesn't happen
to be polo"
