been practically decided not to take
the President away for toe summer,'
because it was felt that he could be
better cared for at the white house.
The plan to spend the summer on the
New England coast Dr. Grayson said,
meant that the President 1 could ' con
tinue the program of motor riding:,
possibly some short yacht trips, prob
ably on the Mayflower, " and mig-ht
even get in a few holes of golf if his
