Roosevelt—the same welcome it has given to seven other presi- dents of the United States in the past century.

President Roose- velt plans to visit the Jackson shrine emroute to Warm Springs, Ga. The old mansion was built in ?mcm of his wishes in this con- | nection. | Built in 1823 First constructed in 1823, the mansion burned 11 years later but | was rebuilt with all the elegance |of the period while Jackson was | President. Today the spirit of Tennessee’s most famous son still lives in the characteristics of the house, for it is preserved as it was when the old warrior and his wife, Rachel, welcomed society into its stately halls. . Coming up the driveway, Presi- dent Roosevelt will pass the same tall cedars that formed a guard of honor in Jackson’s day. With- in the cool, spacious depths of the colenial mansion, he will find the ' same furniture arranged in the fashion that met the taste of Rachel Jackson. In the garden are the graves of Andrew and Rachel. Many President Visitors Other chief executives have made the same pilgrimage—Monroe, Polk, Van Buren, Fillmore, Pierce, Bu- chanan and Theodore Roosevelt. Although not in the presidency at the time of their visits, there came at intervals down the years Andrew Johnson, Hayes, Cleveland, McKinley, Wilson and Taft. | | When President Theodore Roose- velt visited the Hermitage in 1907, he declared: “I cannot imagine any American President failing to visit the tomb of Andrew Jack- son if the opportunity comes.” Jefferson Davis, president of the Confederacy, spent many months at the Hermitage in his child- hood. And Sam Houston, first and only president of the republic of Texas, was a frequent visitor, for he looked upon Jackson as his mentor. State-Owned Now The Hermitage is state-owned now. Perpetuation of its traditions rests with the Ladies’ Hermitage Association whose members will cooperate with Represéntative Jos- eph W. Byrns, official host for President Roosevelt's visit, in serv- ing a luncheon in the famous Her- mitage dining room. Perhaps the guests will dine from the same heavy silver dish- es Jackson obtained from the widow of the naval hero, Commo- dore Stephen Decatur. Of excellent construction and spaciousness, the colonnaded man- sion stands today as it did a hun- dred years dgo—a monument to the splendor of the ante-bellum south and the warrior-statesman who called it home.

For 2,400 Planes It is planned that an eventual acquisition of 2,400 new airplanes in three years will be accomplish- ed. The Army plans 800 new planes and about 500 will be required an- nually to replace old planes. Estimated Cost The 2,400 planés will cost abou! one hundred million dollars, with an estimated placing outlay for the first year's program of about thir- ty million dollars. The Navy Board has recom- mended a small dirigible for train- ing purposes. The ship will be about half the size of the Macon. .

Trippe, President of the Pan-Am- erican Airways, who passed through Omaha on a United Airliner en- route to the Pacific Coast, said the Pan-American is studying the possibility of a trans-Pacific pas- senger service from the West Coast to the Far East. One route to bg considered is across the Pacific Ocean touching at Hawali and other Pacific islands. The other route will follow the American coast to Alaska, thence across Bering. Sea through Japan or Siberla to China. The latter line will connect with the Pan- American lines already operating and will avoid the long ocean hop of the southern route. ———.——— Seize Lobsters SAN DIEGO, Cal—More than seven “tons of Mexican-packed lob- sters iwere seized by the city food inspector and condemned as un- fit for human consumption. | | | | | is very much better and I C""‘!rccup«-raling from hernia opera- sider him out of danger.” tion.

L. Redlingshafer, chairman of the local drive, was the chief speaker at today’s noon luncheon meeting of the Juneau Cham- ber of Commerce, held at Bailey's Cafe. Redlingshafer briefly described the work of the Red Cross move- ment and introduced a portion of his staff of co-workers who, today, are “cleaning up” the city in an effort to make the Roll Call 100 per cent. “In agreeing to head' the Ju- neau Roll Call this year,” Redling- shafer said, “I first, felt it neces- sary to find out, for myself, just what the Red Cross aims were. I was surprised to find that 49 per cent of the organization’s monies are spent on disaster relief. “The Red Cross has, in Wash- ington, D. C., a setup of prepared packages of necded relief articles which can be shipped at a mo- ment's call. The preparedness of the, . organization for any major disaster, impressed me. For War Relief “Seventeen per cent of the agen- cy's funds go to war relief. An- other 13 per cent is used for its wonderful school and home nurse department. This section of the Red Cross does a great work in prevention of disease. “The Red Cross was organized in 1881 and was chartered by Congress in 1906. From that time { Roosevelt program up to now has|to the present day it has existed | made it easier to keep party pol- |fey in flux. Those Democrats who looked jwith doubt on the things which | were being done consoled them- selves with the thought that it all was temporary, that in due course the experiments could be aban- ,doned, and the country brought back to an even keel. Now, however, the situation is | changing. It is obvious to every- one, for instance, that spending ‘eannot go on much longer on the solely on the opinion and support of the citizens of the nation; it receives no funds from the govern- ment.” Redlingshafer said that the Ju- neau drive was practically com- plete. He introduced six women aides who were present at the luncheon most of whom were en- gaged in “clean-up” activities to- day. Among those doing last-minute detail work were the Misses Ellen Mize, Esther Jackson and Mrs. " (Contrwed on Page Two) (Continued on Page Eight)
