Stuart Symington, Judge

KEY WEST, Fla, March 14-U.R
- President Truman, relaxing in
tropical sunshine on his brief va
cation here, was joined today by
W. Stuart Symington, assistant
secretary Of war for air, and Judge
Samuel I. Rosenman, former coun-
sci to the President, for purely
social visits.
Press Secretary Charles G. Ross
said there was nc significance in
tho presence of either Symington
or Rosenman.

Ross described their presence.
Symington, who arrived in his
special BIT bomber from the Ba-
hamas, was in time for luncheon

were 1t. Col. Henry T. Myers,
pilot of the plane; Maj. Elmer F.
Smith, co-pilot and Maj. Theodore

Helm, an old friend of the Presi-
dent from Charlottesville, Mo-, also
was at lunch.

Rosenman had been vacation
ing at Falm Beach and the Presi-
dent invited him to Key West. But
Mr.. Humans quarters at the
submarine base were SO crowded
that Symington and Rosenman
"bunked' on the Presidential yacht

here.

When the President originally plan

The cruise was cancelled, how
ever, when Mr.. Truman was held

Ross told newsmen that if Sec
rotary of State George c. Marshall
wants to talk with the President
by telephone from Moscow, the
call would be placed through a
"scrambling'' device which would
protect the secrecy of their con-
versation.
There was no indication, how
ever, that Mr.. Truman would make
any effort to reach Marshall,
operating or the theory that when
Marshall has something to report
he will get in touch with him.
Mr.. Truman has yet to take his
first swim of the trip. He has been
on the beach two straight days,

President has picked up a notice

CALLED. ACCIDENT
June 30.

CLEVELAND, June 80. -(P)-
The death of welterweight challeng,
er Jimmy Doyle of Los Angeles
was "accidental," coroner S. R.
Gerber said today in clearing the
Cleveland boxing commission and
its physicians of responsibility for
the fatal injury of Doyle in a title
match with champion Ray Sugar
Robinson June "a.
The coroner reiterated Robinson
'is absolutely blameless," and said
the champion twas unfortunate in
being the opposing contestant at
the time of Doyle's fatal injuries"
Doyle died the day after the bout.
Surgeons reported a severe blood
clot on the brain. The 22-year-old
fighter was knocked out by a sharp
left hook near the close of the
eighth round.
The coroner noted repeated medi-
cal examinations had been given
Doyle following a head injury in
the same ring in March, 1916, when
he fought middleweight Artie Le-
vine, and mo physical incapacitat-
ing disabilities could be actually
determined"
The boxing commission ''should
not be considered negligent In hav-
ing allowed Doyle to fight" said a
summary issued by the coroner at
the conclusion of his investigation.
