Feels His Years

Now, MT. Philadelphian, if somebody has told you that the President tires more easily as he enters his eighth year in the White House-that both his men tai and physical snap are not so good as they were on March 4, 1883, then you'd be getting the Mccoy about the Presidents health.
 For he does feel the weight of his 58 years probably not so much as the average man, but he does fell 'em. In truth, he him self felt the need of a vacation when he sailed for the Canal Zone a few weeks ago. He was pretty Jagged out.
 The President takes his physic al and mental health seriously particularly his mental alertness. He doesn't trust even the word of his doctor and the people around him on that score. He's got a personal test he constant ly applying to himself.
 It's the Presidential press con ference. The President regards that tWice-a-week meeting with the best minds in capital journal ism as his own private testing ground. His good natured ban ter with the reporters oftentimes more than that.
 Occasionally he's deliberately swapping verbal punches with the reporters just to assure him. self he can take it-and dish it out-aS fast as ever. Inevitably he's found out-and the reporters will agree with him-that he's mot slipping.

The Washington Daybook
By Preston Grover

WASHINGTON Note to the Philadelphia man who hears the President has so far cracked up mentally and physically that his personal physician has taken up residence at the White House in order to be near him every mo- ment:
 Somebody's been kidding you.
 Admiral Ross T. Mcintyre the Presidents doctor, has not taken up residence at the White House and he's still bug-eyed, as he al ways has been, over the Presi- dents metabolism.
 In short, he can't understand why the Presidents physical re- actions are continuously normal for a man his age, why his heart his kidneys, or some of his other vital organs don't show some signs of weakness occasionally. But they don't. And the Presi- dency has pretty bad record as a health-wrecker, too.
The Nome nugget., 1940-04-01

House pool any more. Two, some times three, swims a week suffice.
 Strangely enough, this cutting down on exercise is not making the President f1abby. His weight is still within the 182-187 pounds it's been ever since he came to the White House.
 For years the President has been susceptible to sinus colds in the winter. That helps account for those circles under his eyes when he delivered his message to Congress- early in January. But a few weeks later they were gone, along with the cold. And he didn't have the flu this win ter, as did most of his fellow Washingtonians.
 There are signs the President puts first things first more than he used to, letting the secondary burdens fall on other, younger shoulders. He doesn't take the more irksome White House stints as seriously as most people think he does.

Grandpa Roosevelt

In short, age is melloWing President Roosevelt faster than it's irking him. I have noticed that the President is taking a more fatherly attitude toward the neWspapermen, the people around him, and in broader sense, the country at large. It is almost a grandfatherly attitude. Leastways he's handing out more grandfatherly advice these days & fewer aggressive upper cuts & you almost reach the con clusion that he would rather not deal in uppercuts.
 Anyway, MT. Philadelphian, somebody's been needing you on the point of the Presidents heal tn. The President begins his 9th year in the White House as chip per as a California jay.

BILLINGS AND LONGTIME FIANCEE ARE MARRIED

RENO, March 29 - Warren K. Billings, 46, married his long, time fiancee, Miss Josephine Ru dolph, 43, of San Mateo, Calif- ornia.
 The couple met during one of his many hearings before Califor nia courts on efforts to win a pardon.
 They were married in Nevada because of a peculiarity of the California law under which he had his sentence commuted to time served which made legality of the marriage there doubtful.

HOPKINS TO QUIT
POST IN CABINET
Close Friend OF Roosevelt In
tends To Step Down Be-
cause Of Ill Health

WASHINGTON, Aug. 23.-R-
It was learned tonight that Harry
L. Hopkins will tender his resigna-
ton soon as secretary OF com.
merce. President Roosevelt is ex-
to accept it reluctantly.
The President and Hopkins,
friends for some Is years, have
been co-workers in New York and
Washington for the last decade.
The widower secretary of COM
merce makes his home at tn e
White House, and Mrs. Roosevelt
has been a second mother to his
eight-year-old daughter, Diane.
It has been known that Hopkins
has felt for some time that his
health prevented the application to
his position that it deserved. He
was sick for many months last
year and although there has been
a steady improvement in his health
recently, he remains far from rug
ged. Close friends have said that
while he can work six hours a day
he has felt that six hours is not a
days work and that in these days
a cabinet officer should be pre-
pared to go ahead at full speed
for IL hours, or more. 4

tration of the problem, which he
called potential dynamite.
He predicted that the Axis part
ners would merely seek to prevent
an armed clash between bitterly
opposed Rumania and Hungary.
A Hungarian spokesman, DIES
cribing developments thus far said
that before the conference began
the Rumanians agreed to the prin-
ciple of the Magyar demand for
part of Pennsylvania, a territory
which Rumania obtained in tn e
World war settlements.
AT the conference, he said, Hun.
gary asked for about two-thirds
of the IS, 1000 square miles of Tran
sylvania, and Rumania replied
with a diplomatic document pro-
posing the transfer of populations
and emitting any mention of pos
sible land cession.
At this point, he said, the Hun
garian delegation ordered h i r
Danubian boat to get up steam
and asked for clearance papers
and a pilot.
But in a last-minute attempt to
prevent the conference breaking
up, both sides agree to consult
their governments and report
back. 2

RUSSIANS PRAISE
PACT WITH NAILS
Continued from Page One)

Britain, through the offices of a
new laborite ambassador, Sir Stat
ford Grips, still is trying to bring
Russia to the British side. Only
Thursday, Sir Stafford had a long
audience with the Soviet foreign
trade commissar. Moeover, Prime
Minister Winston Churchill in his
house of commons speech a s t
Tuesday, indicated his belief that
Hitler was wary of the Soviet air
force.)
Frankly, Izvestia called the non
aggression treaty "a veritable
turning pount in the history of all
Europe"

that the British and French
above all" tried to provoke war
between Germany and the Soviet
Union and thus pull chestnuts out

Harmony, Black River
Sunday Schools Hold
Wrightsuille Picnic

Members of the Harmony ana
Black River Sunday schools, OF
Ivanhoe and Kerr, held a picnic
yesterday at Wrightsville Beach.
About IS persons attended.
The picnickers brought box
lunches and enjoyed swimming
during the afternoon.
They met at the Atlantic cottage
at 2:3O o'clock to hear a sermon
by the Rev. W. D. Healey.
He talked on the subject: "What
Do You Want In Life?"
"Ask and it shall be given, seek
and we shall find, and knock and
it will be opened unto you," he
told the group.
In the hurried, busy lives OF the
average person today, the Rev.
Mr.. Healey said, it is quite difficult
for a person to find time to ask
himself: why Am I Here? Where
am 1 going?"
If the proper psychological at
titude is adopted and the teach
ings of the Bible are taken into
account, these questions will be
easier to answer, he said.
Those attending the picnic were:
Mr.. and Mrs. L.. w. Kessler,
Martha Kessler, MI. and Mrs. A.
