Friday's Star and News carried reviews of the matinee perform ance, bur mention should be made here of the usual crowd Friday evening. News had been spread by those who attended the matinee on Thursday that the production was excellent, the singing, acting, staging, and costuming all being far above, the average for a high school offering. Miss Sarah Robinson is to be especially congratulated on her ex pert direction as this was her maid en effort and she worked under difficulties, not the least of which was the fact that so many Glee club members had gone into the armed forces. The center of attraction in most of the scenes was the beautiful leading Jady, Sara Anne Eaton, whose ta’ent as a singer was equal led by her ability as an actress. She had to answer several cur tain calls and finally left the stage with her arms filled with flowers. While Miss Eaton was being showered with bouquets, Calvin Bullard, her leading man, was handed something more acceptable to a boy—a crate of Pepsi Colas. Already invitations have been re ceived for repeat performances and the singers are hoping that at least four of these can be accepted ex pecially those from near by camps.

I know j Frank Roosevelt felt that way. ( Groping back for memories of j Mr. Roosevelt at the Navy De- ■ partment through the time-fogged j years I find them indistinct except for the flowing warmth of his sunny friendly disposition. At the Navy Department he was charged with the vexing task of keeping Navy Yard wage scales ; adjusted to those of each yard's region. I think it likely that job had more than a little to do with shap ing his ideas on governmental lab or policies. He was very sensitive to the political power labor repre sented, but he was no less sensi tive to the lot of labor, of under dogs everywhere. We all knew that in our earliest contacts with him. All of us also noted quickly something else about the man. We soon observed that when h.is chief, Navy Secretary Josephus Daniels, was away and Roosevelt was ac ting secretary, things were likely to happen. He was ready always to make quick policy decisions, and ready unhesitatingly to accept full re sponsibility. He believed, I think, in the business world’s axiom that a decision made promptly is bet ter, even if proved wrong, than a sounder action reached in delay and uncertainty. To me, at least, there is signifi cance in that Roosevelt trait. Many years later in those hectic, heart ening “first hundred days’ of his first administration, presidential policy decisions flowed from the White House in a ceaseless flood. Navy Bureau chiefs of that old er day, or some of them, noted that trait. If a pet project needed secretarial sanction, they frequent ly held it until Mr. Roosevelt was acting secretary. Not that Mr. Dan iels was likely to turn thumbs down on a good idea, but quick action was assured when Mr. Roosevelt was at the helm. In that war I had a young nephew in the Navy, an enlisted man who had tossed college aside to volun teer. He was aboard a ship of the old “Crab Fleet’’ the flotilla and superannuated pre-dread-naunts which after the Armistice were pressed into emergency service as transports to hasten the homecom transports to hasten the homecom ing of Pershing’s crusaders from France. The ship had trudged twice across Atlantic and was billed for a third round-trip when my broth er, the boy's father, wired from California that if he sailed with her it would throw him back another year or six months at least in col lege. Mr. Roosevelt was acting secre tary that day. I dumped by prob lem in his lap. He wrote a tele grajn to the naval commandant at Norfolk directing that my nephew he set ashore and discharged. It went off, even though the ship had sailed. Next morning the bow was ring ing my doorbell before I was up. I had underrated the effect of a secretarial signature in the Navy even that of an acting secretary. The lad had been jerked off the ship before she cleared the Capes, rushed back to Norfolk and dis charged in time to catch the night boat to Washington. About that time the first east ward passage of the Atlantic by airplanes, the old NCs, was work ed up by the Navy Department. Destroyers were mile-posted or 50 mile-posted along the way to Halifax, N. S., the first stop. At the Navy communications room we were watching the flight of the NC14 (the other planes had reach ed Halifax) and were reporting the story. The NC-4’s wireless was to limit ed to reach us, but the destroyers relayed the messages to shore sta tions, and they came down to us in Washington by land wire. That stirred the communications officer and myself to speculate on municate with the big flying boat, how long it might take to corn relay the reply to Europe or else where and get acknowledgements. We needed high authority to set the wheels in motion. I went after it and found Franklin Roosevelt acting as secretary. He never stopped to question as to details, just reached for his mes sage pad and wrote a greeting to :he skipper of the NC-4, running :hrough the fog up there in the aorth, and a request for his posi :ion. I rushed back to the communica :ions room. Watch in hand, the of ficer dropped that message before the landwise operator. Off it went and in ‘minutes, almost seconds, back’ came the message from the NC’s skipper. We shot it to the big trans-Atlantic radio circuits, ask ing for prompt acknowledgements from France and England and also from any intercepting naval radio station anywhere. In minutes they came in from across the Atlantic. I do not recall the exact time of the whole trans action, although I wrote a feature piece for the AP about it then. But it was startlingly short—maybe five or six minutes all told. While we were wondering over the speed of modern communication, replies came in from Mare Island on the West Coast, from Pearl Harbor in Hawaii, even from the far away Philippines. These incidents are of no signifi cance except as they bear on the cooperative spirit and speed in action of young Franklin Roose velt, and his readiness to move and move fast on any project that would benefit the Navy, demon strate its efficiency and inform and interest the news readers of the Nation.
