PRESIDENT DELAYS
HIS GEORGIA TRIP
Change in Holiday Plans
Made on Advice of Doc
tor and Dentist.
BY J. RUSSELL YOUNG.

Because he has not fully regained
his strength after extraction OF an
absceSSed tooth. President Roosevelt
today Cancelled plans to spend Thanks
giving at Warm Springs, Ca but made
plans for week Of fishing in the Gulf
Of Mexico later.
The change in plans was made on
advice of DR.. Ross T. McIntire. White
House physician. and 1t. Comdr.
Arthur Yando, Navy dentist, who ex-
tracted the Presidents tooth and who
has since been treating the gums.
From all accounts the Presidents
abscess was particularly bad one and
draining is being continued. Other
wise, the Presidents physical condi-
ton is represented as being good. His
temperature is normal and all trace
of the gastro-intestinal disorder from
which he suffered during the tooth
ache has disappeared.
Confers With Leaders.
The President feels well enough 10 do
a certain amount of business in his
study and will receive limited num-
ber Of callers in his study each day in
addition to disposing of other routine
business.
The President early today had a
long conference in his bedroom with
Senate and House leaders, including
Vice President Garner, Senate Ma
jority Leader Barkley. Speaker Bank
head and House Maiority Leader Ray
burn, to discuss the general legislative
situation.
Also, during the forenoon, he con-
ferred with Frank Walsh of the State
Power Commission of New York,
Frank Walker, former head of the
National Emergency Council, who has
frequently been mentioned as pos
sible successor to Postmaster General
Farley, and James H. r. Cromwell,
student of economics and husband Of
Doris Duke It was possible the Presi-
dent later in the day will confer with
Secretary of the Treasury Morgenthau
and Director of the Budget Bell, con-
cerning the budget estimates to be
presented to Congress in January.
In postponing his Thanksgiving
visit at Warm Springs, Ga, and the
fishing cruise on the Gulf of Mexico
afterwards, the President has worked
out a tentative schedule which will
be somewhat the reverse of his origi-
nal schedule.
Will Go to Maine.
1t is thought the Presidents dentist
and doctor will permit him to leave
either late this week or early next
week and that he will be away from
Washington not more than a week or
10 days.
AS the schedule now stands, the
President will go by special train to
Miami, Fla, where the presidential
yacht Potomac will be waiting to take
him around the southern point of
Florida to the Gulf of Mexico. 1t is
thought that after three or four days
of fishing in those waters the Presi-
dent will go ashore at st. Petersburg
or Pensacola, Fla, and then go by
train to Warm Springs, Ca, where
he will join with the infantile paralysis
patients at the Warm Springs Founda-
ton in belated Thanksgiving dinner
party.
He will remain in Warm Springs
only day and night and then go
to Gainesville. Ga, where he will par
ticipate in ceremonies celebrating the
rehabilitation of that town following
the destruction done by tornado two
years ago. He will make a speech
dedicating park laid out in Gaines
vile named in his honor. The towns
rehabilitation and the building of the
city park was accomplished with
$2,500,000 of public works funds.
From Gainesville the President will
come directly to Washington and re-
sumo his duties here.
