WARM SPRINGS, Ga, March 16.-
President Roosevelt had a good break
today 1t came with the strong
Georgia winds of yesterday, when
the airplane, bringing the pouches
containing the Presidents mail from
the White House in Washington, made
forced landing the other side Of At
lanta. No damage was done and no
one was hurt.
When he learned of this respite from
work, the vacationing President is
understood to have had smile on his
face resembling that of schoolboy
receiving news that the school house
had burned down.
Plans Inspection Trip.
II the weather is not stormy this
afternoon the President might motor
over Pine Mountain to the Pine Noun
tain Valley resettlement project to
make an inspection of the little farms
and houses. He was to have made
this visit yesterday, but the weather
was not favorable. If he makes
this trip, he will include a visit to the
c. c. c. camp few miles away.
For the greater part of yesterday
and this morning the President hud-
died about the cracking fire in the
cozy living room Of his little frame
cottage here dividing his time be-
tween talking to friends and associates
and reading. The fire felt good, too.
The early Spring weather which greet
ed the President on his arrival here
quickly disappeared, and for two days
a strong, cold wind has been bowling
through the pine trees and the tenn
perature has been as low as 40 de-
grees, which, to the inhabitants of
this section, is really cold
Yesterday afternoon the President
bundled up and drove his old second
hand car out into the country. Stop
ping several times to visit friends
among these being George Foster Pea
body, one of the founders of Warm
Springs and member of the Board
of Trustees of the Warm Springs
Foundation. Mr. Peabody. who is
advanced in years, has been a friend
OF the President for long time, is
seriously i'll here
Wedding Anniversary Tomorrow.
Because of the absence of Mrs
Roosevelt, who is on a speaking tour,
there is no likelihood of any celebra-
ton at the Presidents home here to
mark the thirty-second anniversary
tomorrow Of their marriage March II,
1905.
Mr.. Roosevelt will, however, on this
anniversary date, deliver a brief ad-
dress over the telephone from his
cottage, to banquet being held in
Boston, Mass, under the auspices of
the Irish Charitable Society of Boston
in celebration of the 250th anniversary
OF the evacuation of Boston harbor
by the British. This ong-diStance
speech will be given at $50 O'Clock
tomorrow night. The President has
not yet been advised whether or not
his speech will be picked up by radio
and broadcast
In making this speech, even though
by remote control Mr. Roosevelt is
violating for the second time self
imposed rule made when he left Wash
lngton for this brief period of rest,
that he would not make public utter
anceS until after his return to the
White House. 1t has been explained,
however, Mr.. Roosevelt made a promise
months ago that he would attend the
celebration in person or send a per-
sonal greeting of some kind.
