' POEM HELPED REPORTERS KEEP

(Fourth of Six Articles)
By DOUGLAS 8. CORNELL
WASHINGTON. April 26--
Franklin a Roosevelt was a poet.
This story revolves around an
eight-line, hitherto unpublish-
ed opus. It to necessary te
sketch in some rather extensive
background.
Immediately after Pearl Harbor,
a security blackout was imposed on
movements of the chief executive.
Gradually it was lifted, but for
a long time when he scooted up to
hit home at Hyde Park. N Y., re-
porters were not permitted to go
along nor to record the fact that
he had been there.

Press and of the other two major
wire services kept battling for the
right to go along on a "protective" |
basis even if they could write noth- :
ure.
"The problem's simple, answer
same—
“Let’s jump to Georgis once
again."
We took it in to presidential Sec-
ing about the trips.
Mr. Roosevelt called us "the three
ghouls,” we were told.
But, after all. the President
belonged to the people, and if
anything happened to him the
news services wanted to be on
the spot. Eventually we won
our point. That it was a point
well taken was proved when Mr.
i retary Mervin McIntyre.
I "I’ll show it to the boss,” he
volunteered
; A few hours later, Mac called
us into his office end handed us
this reply, scribbled in the Presi-
dent's own hand on e memo pad

Warm Springs. Ga.
The first trip after the war start-
ed on which we went along was an
inspection of war plants and mili-
tary establishments in the fall of
1942 We went through the .north-
ern tier of states, down the west
coast, and back through the south
But we continued to miss out on
minor trips
In March, 1943, we got wind of
—another-bit journey that would taka
Mr Roosevelt to Mexico to meet
President Manuel Avila Camacho
We feared we might be left out
again.
We sat around the White House
press room one dull afternoon try-
ing to figure out a line of approach.
We didn't rant to disclose how
much we knew of the plans, since
the whole thing was supposed to
be hush-hush.
Then we hit on an idea We knew |
there was to be a stop at Warm
Springs, so we decided to base an
appeal on the idea that we hadn't
been riding on an expense account
for a long time. We thought that
"Your touching, deep desire
“Arouse in me fire
“To send a hasty wire
"To Warm Springs in the mire
"To scrape the roads,
"Break out the corn.
"The gals is waiting
"Sho's yo born"
At the bottom he penciled:
"To the three press associations
ONLY None other need apply."
We made the trip, but half a
dozen other reporters also were
taken along on the first half.
Mac had photostats made of the
presidential poem for ua.
