FOR, NEWSPAPERMEN
(Santa Ana Register)

Like the pitcher who secretly thinks
he missed his calling and should have
been an outfielder, President Roosevelt
often fancies himself as a newspaperman.
About year ago the chief executive
even gave his press conference what he
termed a lesson in journalism, criticiz-
ing editors in general for "over-plaving'
certain stories and "under-playing' 9TH
ers He picked up a nearby paper and
illustrated. The correspondents listened
in respectful silence while Mr.. Roosevelt
dished out this homespun instruction.
One day this week the White House
had every news room in the nation in
dither when. at mid-afternoOn, word was
passed out that an announcement would
be made at pm. Neither the nature nor
the importance was indicated, so when
the appointed time arrived and passed
some two-Score neWsmen were waiting
tensely, their anticipation equalled only
by that of their editors throughout the
counry.
Had the U. s. landed on Wake island?
Was Mr.. Roosevelt. after all, cOnferrng
somewhere with Mr.. Churchill, as the
Berlin radio had said? Had D-day ar
rived at last?
Finally. a press release was handed
out.
It reported that the day before Presi-
dent Roosevelt had entertained Prime
Minister John Curtin of Australia and
President-Elect Teodoro Picado OF Costa
Rica at luncheon at the Presidents vaca-
ton retreat in the south 1t added that
four visitors and Mrs. Roosevelt already
had returned to Washington, d. {.
The newspapermen went home. They
decided that Mr. Roosevelt better stay
in politics.
