ABOARD PRESIDENTS SPECIAL
TRAIN EN- ROUTE TO WARM
SPRINGS, Ga, November 21.-Happy
over q brief respite from the daily
grind back at his desk in the White
House, President Roosevelt today is
speeding toward Warm Springs. Ga.
where he is looking forward to an
enjoyable visit of about three weeks
before returning to the Capital.
Mr.. Roosevelt is carrying with him
to his other home" on the slopes of
Pine Mountain, near Warm Springs,
Just enough work to keep him busy
about half of each day during his
absence. Before departing from Wash
ington at $50 o'clock last night the
President indicated that his work
while away would deal principally
with completion of the budget for
the next fiscal year.
As the Presidents special train was
winding its way through the South
land today he devoted most of his
time sitting in the observation lounge
of his car poring over business papers
sionally he would lay aside these labors
to gaze out Of the window at the
passing scenery or to chat with some
of his associates.
Due to Arrive at 4 PM.
There will be no speeches On this
Journey to Warm Springs. the train
schedule calling for no stops, except
those known as railroad operating
stops. However, at these operating
stops and as the special train passed
through other towns and villages along
the way fairly good-sized crowds were
grouped near the tracks to catch a
glimpse of the President and to wave
greeting.
According to schedule, the Presi-
dents train will arrive at Warm
Springs about 4 o'clock this afternoon.
There will be one of the White
House automobiles at the station to
take the President directly to his little
frame cottage, about two and q half
miles back in the pine hills.
Mr.. Roosevelt said he is looking
forward to his daily swims in the
pool at the Warm Springs Founda-
ton. He doubted if time would per-
nit him to indulge in this sport this
afternoon, but he has resolved to de-
vote at least an hour in the pool during
the forenoon tomorrow.
The President is still proud of the
David Harum swap he made last Fall
l.. ial
for two sprightly looking youngsters
which his newspaper companions
named TUG and Hop" in honor Of
his two house guests at the time, DR..
Rexford Guy Tugwen and Harry L.
Hopkins. 1t is thought likely the
President will motor directly to his
farm, for an inspection, after his
swim in the pool tomorrow, and he is
hoping his farm foreman will be able
to show him ledger with some profits.
Complete Estimates.
The President left Washington
with all but three departmental budg-
ct estimates in completed form. and
these three he Is taking to Warm
Springs with him to finish and have
ready before he returns to Washing
ton. These unfinished estimates are
for the District of Columbia, the Navy
Department and the Commerce De-
,partment. The President will be
Joined on Monday by Daniel Bell, act
ing director of the budget, and Rep
resentative Buchanan, chairman Of
the House Appropriations Committee,
to assist in this task.
Before the train pulled out of Union
Station last night the President had
a brief conference in his private car
with Secretary of State Hull about
the reaction to the Canadian trade
pact and the forthcoming naval con-
ference at London. Other members
of the cabinet who were at the station
for a brief chat with the President
before he departed were Secretary Of
Commerce Roper and Secretary Of
Labor Perkins.
Mrs. Roosevelt, who returned to
the White House yesterday to assist
the President when he received Chief
Justice Hughes and Associate Justices
Of the Supreme Court, went to the
station with the President, but did
not accompany him South. She will
join him some time next week to be
with him at the annual Thanksgiving
celebration at Warm Springs Founda-
ton.
