Old Favorite Revived

T CHICAGO-1n these days of
high prices, wise women want the
most food value possible out Of
everything they buy. And so they
look with pleasure to March, Ma.
tional Bread and Gravy Month.
Men and children have always
smacked their lips over a plate Of
bread smothered with rich, brown
gravy, and homemakers not only
enjoy the delicious flavor, but also
appreciate the economy of it. It's
simple, too. Just two slices of en-
riched bread covered with tasty
gravy. Makes wonderful Sunday
night supper.

vote has no illusions about it.

narily vote as labor" Maurice j
Tobin. the new Secretary of Labor
told this interviewer. But when
he gets the idea that a political
party is against him-when the
conservative business leaders. almost
ali identified with that party, are
swept by a wave of antilabor senti-
ment as at present-then he's going
to vote against them. That's the
way things usually go in politics
People don't vote for something

vote as labor they would carry at

Presidents Yacht Arrives
The Presidents yacht, the Poto-
mac, arrived next morning. Capt
McCrea was at the gangplank to
meet the President, who doomed a
greeting.
| Within a few hours we were back
/ in Norfolk to refuel That evening,
at dinner, President Roosevelt
turned to Capt. McCrea and said:
John. today is Friday"
! The skipper nodded. The President
went on: You know, I have a
sailors reluctance to start out on
any sort of project on Friday"
He paused, then said:
This is to be an important series
Of meetings for all of us, and !
want them to go over. The deci-
sions will be important, and 1 want
them to be successful-and Friday
is unlucky"
Men who follow the sea hold
many superstitions. 2 That the Pres
tident, held them, too. was under
| tstandable, in othe light Of his life
long seafaring interests. But to
Capt. McCrea this was a new side
of Mr.. Roosevelt's character.
The skipper replied he would de-
lay leaving Hampton Roads until
after midnight. Fueling was COM
pleted about 10 pm. At 5 minutes
after midnight Saturday, November
13, the Iowa was again under way
bound for Mers el-Kebir, Algiers.
Thence the President and his party
were to be flown to Cairo, Egypt, to
meet Generalissimo Chang Kali
shek, and later to Teheran, Irae, for
the meeting with Churchill and
Stain.
The night was pitch black as the
Iowa, gathering speed, moved into
the swept channel. Saturday morn
ing found us well at sea, guarded by
three Fletcher class destroyers mov-
ing at high speed. Among them was
the U. S. S. William P. Porter, which
was to play a fatefu1 part in this
historic journey. The destroyers
were to accompany us until a new
relay relieved them Sunday night
We were speeding on a course due
east on about the 35th parallel,
heading toward Gibraltar.
AS part of my duties, I received
reports on the location of all ships
at sea in the North Atlantic, both
enemy and Allied, along with such
submarine reports as were available.
From this information 1 plotted
daily charts for the captain and the
Presidents party. Each afternoon
went to the Presidents cabin to
show him this chart and answer any
questions he might have.
My information showed that along
our course was an almost unbe-
lievable number of German subnia-
rines, with large wolf-pack off
Dakar and another in mid-Atlantic.

You might run down to the

we can get the Iowa into the mouth
of the Potomac. We would have to
pump out most of our oil to do it
but I think we could make it,"
The skipper later checked charts
of the area where the Potomac flows
into the Chesapeake Bay. He found
the river was deep enough for the
Iowa to enter its mouth for rendez-
vous with the presidential yacht. Ar
rangements were completed to pick
up the President and his party No

Back in Norfolk, the ship was be-
ing thoroughly painted, scrubbed
cleaned and touched up. Two weeks
after our arrival in Norfolk the
Iowa quietly backed from the dock
into the open channel of Hampton
Roads.
We proceeded up the Chesapeake
Bay where the ship anchored a
short distance beyond Fortress Mon
roe.
Elevators Sent Aboard
Soon tug appeared, towing a
derrick barge containing what ap-
peared to be two large gray steel
boxes. When lifted aboard they
turned out to be two portable eleva-
tors. One section was to raise the
President from the main deck to his
cabin on the first superstructure
deck. The second was to carry him
from that deck up to the flag bridge
From this bridge, in case of emer-
gency, he could be wheeled into the
coming tower-safest place on the
ship.
Oval in shape, the conn" had 16-
inch armor-plate sides and was
equipped with two periscopes and
several small slots for observation
Normally this was the admiral's pro-
tected station during a battle en-
gagement.
In short time, We were under
way again, steaming up the Chesa-
peake. We entered the mouth of the
Potomac a few hours later and
dropped anchor about eight miles
upstream, off st. Georges Island.
The captain announced to the
crew that the Iowa was to take the
President and his party to an un-
disclosed Mediterranean port. The
ships sympathy went out to him
During the entire journey across the
hostile Atlantic he would be re-
sponsible for the safety of the Presi-
dent and the Nations chief military
figures. We could see this response
