Bombardier Who Lost Leg
In Battle Addresses Rotary

Members of the Washington Ro-
tary Club stood and applauded
yesterday at their luncheon in the
Willard Hotel when they realized
that the Army Air Forces officer
hopping his way to the microphone
to address them had only one leg.
He was Capt. Robert Burgess,
Fortress bombardier from the 9th
Air Force in England, a New York
advertising man before the war. He
Is patient at Walter Reed Hos
pital.
He told of his 18th mission and
remarked that he hadn't gone three
lights on a match since, a phobia
of i'll luck which developed among
airmen in France during the last
war.
Messerschmitts began putting
their small explosive shells into the
Fortress, he said. He told how the
navigator's chest was ripped open,
exposing one lung-yet he lived five
days. He told of a gunner on the
plane who lost both legs. Buy
War Bonds" he said-that was
what his colonel said when Capt.
Burgess asked what he could do for
him back home-"Tell them to buy
bonds every chance you get" was
the coloners request.
The club installed its new officers.
Howard LIE Roy, attorney, became
president; Dan Holland, vice presi-
dent; Henry Herzog, secretary, and
Irving Tennyson, sergeant at arms.

Shorthand Reporter
Keeps Detailed Record
OF Roosevelt 5 Words
BY JACK sTINNETT,

p.
Associated Press Feature writer.
More Roosevelt conversation goes
into Jack Romagna's notes than you
ever heard about.
He's got 1t all for the record
everything from MIR. Rooseyelt's oc-
casional wisecracks to his most SOL
emn public words.
Mr.. Romagna is the White House
shorthand reporter, job he's held
since early ls4l. Quiet and delib-
erately inconspicuous, he sits on the
left OF Mr.. Roosevelt at all news
conferences and takes in lightninR-
quick shorthand notes on the Presi-
dents ever-changing moods.
For the record" presidential
news conferences begin when Mr..
Romagna opens his notebook. Then
he takes down everything, including
the few presidential slips in gram
mar, emitting only occasional whis-
pers which obviously are not in
tended for the record.
Notes on Gestures Included.
The story Of Mr.. Romagna pours
onto the pages of his notebook is
anything but dull. He colors his
notes by indicating laughter, ges-
lures, asides and other bits of by
play which cannot be disregarded.
It's a tough job, even though you
wouldn't think SO by listening to the
deliberate, carefully chosen words
that come out of your radio during
a fireside chat. The Presidents ra-
dio speeches 60 along at comfort
able 100 words per minute or so-a
breeze for any shorthand reporter.
But in news conferences the pace
Is bewildering. Mr.. Roosevelt steps
up a 90-word-per-minute pace to
200 or better. Along with that Is
a steady stream of Interruptions,
half-phrased questions and half
phrased replies.
Job Is 10 Get It All.
Sometimes the President dis
misses a question with q gesture.
Sometimes he literally talks into
his famous cigarette holder. FIRE.
quently the reporters fill the room
with laughter.
MIR. Romagna's job is to get 1t all,
including the laughter-and get 1t
the first time. He's never asked the
President for a repeat.
After conferences Mr. Romagna
types out his notes and cross in
dexes the whole business by sub
jects SO he can put finger on any
word the President has ever said on
any subject.
A copy of his transcript becomes
a part Of the national archives and
takes its place among the official
papers of the administration.
