Although neither the President-elect nor his wife saw the demonstration at Palo Alto, it {s certain Mr. Hoover was considerably troubled over the incident. Thoroughly aware of the anti-Ameri- can propaganda being carried on by discredited interests in Latin America, he may have sensed that the demon- stration in his own home town por- tended troubles to come. Most of Palo Alto's citizenry had gathered at the railroad siding to bid an enthusiastic farewell to their distin- guished neighbors from “up on the hill." It was nightfall and the glare of sput- tering flashlights and flares brightly illumined the memorable scene. Mr. and Mrs. Hoover and their son, Allen, were on the rear platform of their pri- vate car, waving goodby to friends and acquaintances. ~ An army of news cameramen clicked shutters and ground cranks furiously. Suddenly there appeared from no- where, near the forward end of the Hoover car, a group of half a dozen young men and women carrying im- provised placards denouncing “Ameri- can imperialism” and advising the President-elect to “stay out of Nica- ragua.” _One sign bore the words, “Down With American Imperialism”; another read “Hands Off Nicaragua— Support the Latin-American Republics Against American Imperialism”; a third said “Not a Cent, Not a Man, Not a Gun for Imperialist Wars,” and a fourth was emblazoned with the red figure of a man with uplifted arms and labeled “Communist.” Lunges at Card Bearer. The placards had been raised but a few moments and the picketers were starting to push through the outer fringe of the crowd, still out of sight of the Hoovers, when a newspaper man with the party spied the movement. Fearing some overt act, he called to a Secret Service man and without fur- her waiting lunged at the leader of the marchers, a blond-haired youth of the campus type. The latter ducked as the correspondent grabbed the placard and both men fell to the ground. By this time the Secret Service operatives and a policeman were close at hand and the agitators scattered.

The locomotive sounded its whistle, a prolonged cheer went up and the train moved off. In the excitement of starting the first leg of the momentous journey the Palo Alto demonstration soon was forgotten by most members of the party. I doubt that Mr. Hoover entirely forgot it, how- | ever, and subsequent developments, to be related later on, showed that the in- cident undoubtdly was most significant. It was the ppeliminary rumbling of a storm that never quite broke. Memories of that discordant note at Palo Alto were easily drowned in the thrilling symphony of formal and in- formal bon voyages and official fanfar- onades that marked those last few hours on shore. Cheered By Throngs. Mr. and Mrs. Hoover were up early the next morning and on the platform of their car, “Sunset,” to acknowledge the cheers of a great throng of chil- dren at Wilmington, a suburb of Los Angeles, and they appeared on the plat- form sporadically from then on, in rec- ognition of the almost continuous ova- tion given them by their fellow Cali- fornians. Schools had been dismissed and thousands of boys and girls with flags lined the tracks at the crossings as the train moved slowly toward the Fifth strect dock in San Pedro. At Mr. Hoover's request the citizens ot San Pedro abandoned plans for a big celebration at the dock. He was met by Ambassador Henry P. Fletcher, who had been designated as the State Department representative and who had arrived at San Pedro the night be- fore, and by Admiral Willlam V. Pratt, commanding the battle fleet. Mr. and Mrs. Hoover walked briskly between rigid lines of bluejackets and Marines to the dock, a few feet away, stepped aboard the admiral's trim barge and were carried far out in the harbor to the great gray hulk of steel which was to be their home for the next three weeks. ‘Ten battleships, two airplane carriers and half a dozen destroyers lay proudly at anchor out there, with all hands manning the rail. Overhead roared a squadron of Navy planes in V forma- tion. The barge hove to alongside the starboard gangway and Mr. and Mrs. In the District Science leaves nothing 10 guess work.

It was a pitiful relude to the thunderous concert let oose by the deep-throated saluting guns of the battleships. It was the hearty welcome of a mighty fleet to the man who soon was to become commander- in-chief of the combined military forces of the Nation. ‘There must have been a tidal wave of emotions surging through the breast of America’s President-elect as he stood, with head bared and slightly bowed on the quarterdeck of the Mary- land that unforgettable November morning. He was an imposing figure against the background of cocked hats, gold braid and flashing sabers. It was a thrilling send-off to one who was embarking on a mission potent with possibilities for good, but iraught, also, with hazards his friends cared not to think about. There were tangible dangers of travel at sea and in strange lands, and there were pos- sible dangers of another sort lurking in the undercurrents of radicalism and misunderstanding threatening pan- American fraternalism. If Herbert Hoover sensed these pos- sibilities of danger there was no out- ward evidence of it as he stood there near the starboard gangway, beside his charming wife, during that medley of guns, trumpets and band music. When the last cloud of smoke from the twenty-first gun had billowed sky- ward he relaxed with an apparent air of relief that the formalities in his honor were over, sought the arm of the | smiling First-Lady-to-be and led her | to the sternmost rail. aboard a fleet of motor boats just off the rail burst into frenzied activity, amid exclamations of gratitude at the courtesy shown them by one so no- toriously shy of cameras.
