RooseveIt's Food Habits Tipped
Housekeeper on War Crises
President Got .Choosy,
Mrs. kesbitt Soys in
White House Diory'
~ the Assoc;o,ed Press


Henrietta Nesbitt says she could
always tell, when she was White
House housekeeper for the Roose-
yelts, when the war was building
to q new emergency.
The President would get choosy
about his food. Mrs. Nesbitt says
that in her 13 years in the White
House it was the only way in which
she saw the President show tension.
Each morning Mrs. Roosevelt
would find out what her husband
wanted to eat that day and phone
Mrs. Nesbittis office. Once Mrs.
Nesbitt heard the President ex-
claim: Damn it, I don't want beef"
ct was the only time she ever heard
him SWearD
Then she heard Mrs. Roosevelt
ask gently: What do you want?"
II want steak" he said.
Mrs. Nesbitt's story will be pub
lished today under the title white
House Diary" doubleday.
Apple Pie Was Favorite.
She writes that the Presidents
favorite pie was. Americas favorite
pie-apple. He preferred chocolate
ice cream, but he also liked oddities:
Wild turkey, stone crab, terrapin.
He had definite ideas on their pre-
paration. Once the cook warned:
The President likes u duck just
chased through the fame"
The Presidents favorite cake was
fruit, and Mrs. Roosevelt's was an
gel food. They both liked a crab
meat soup the recipe for which was
found among Mrs. George Washing
tons records. The Presidents
breakfast tray always included a
dog biscuit for Fala.
Like other American husbands the
President ate left-overs on the day
after company.
| Mrs. Nesbitt's story also includes
amusing anecdotes of happenings
in the White House.
Slept on Couch.
Once there was SO many guests
o.
in the hall and caught the flu.
Once tea was ready for 500 Mrs
Roosevelt waited. No one came
The White House social bureau had
forgotten to mail the invitations.
When Mrs. Roosevelt and Mrs.
Nesbitt made their first inspection
of the mansion, they found the
kitchen dirty and almost empty of
utensils. 1t took four-year strug-
gle, but they finally squeezed out
enough money from their allowance
to put in a modern kitchen.
Many foreign visitors brought
their own problems.
Mrs. Nesbitt,s first such worry
came with the visit of Ras Das
Demptu of Ethiopia.
The State Department phoned
stiffily: He is Coptic Christian,
and you will act accordingly"
She looked that up in the encyclo-
pedia and found that Coptic Chris
tians eat no animal products, down
through cream and butter. She
turned out a normal meal by using
several vegetable oils.
Kept File on Ulcers.
As the war tension grew, all the
world leaders appeared to develop
flnicky appetites. Mrs. Nesbitt had
a long file on ulcer patients needs
and amusing notes on how they cir
cumvented their doctors orders
Harry Hopkins ordered just what
he was told not to eat.
Her first tip on the war came in

John f. Heck, pictured above
who retired as superintendent OF
parks on October l, after 20 years
of faithful service to the city, was
the guest of honor at dinner
party at the Fountain Head Coun-
try Club last night, given by Lloyd
l.. Stouffer, chairman of the Park
Board
On Mr.. Heck's arrival, he was
greeted by his host; by Mayor Rich
ard H. Sweeney; by his successor
as superintendent of parks, Homer
Ahalt; and by the other members
of the Park Board, Dr. T. A. Chap
pelear, Roger @. Cook, Albert II
Spielman, L. c.. Matthias, and the
recording secretary of the Board,
Miss Helen Lyon.
During the evening Mr.. Heck was
presented with a Certificate of Rec
ignition of his 20 years of faithful
service and was warmly praised for
his work. Perhaps the Park Boards
appreciation of Mr.. Heck's work
through the years was best summed
up in chairman Stouffer's state
ment that the condition of the City's
Parks spoke more eloquently than
words of Mr.. Heck's untiring eff
forts and devotion to his job.
