FIRST LADY PLANS MOTOR TRIP SOON Women of the Press Told High Lights of Recent Visit to Campobello. By the Associated Press. Mrs. Franklin D. Roosevelt, in a sheer blue Summer dress, and sunburned, yes- terday told at her press conference high lights of her trip to Campobello Island. ‘Her sunburn was acquired by riding | 347 miles with no hai on and the top of | her car down. It happened on a day when she failed to fool the populace by having a friend register her at a Farm- on, Me., hotel. as A. E. Roos, leaving off the last syllable of her name. The oldest lady in town, Mrs. Julia Swift, 95 a florist, was first to see through the ruse, and sent her huge baskets of flowers. ‘The arrival of tall Franklin, jr., who ‘will sail tomorrow for a vacation trip to Europe, briefly interrupted Mrs. Roose- velt's conference. Franklin bounded into a roomful of woman reporters to be speedily told where his clean clothes were, and other details that had to do with the trip. Mrs. Roosevelt rushed out immediately after the conference to shop with him. She will go to New York on the mid- night train tonight to see the party off.
