CHARLES F. CATES.
BOB GRADY,
1 enjoyed my trip to Washington
last week. I caught the train in
Warsaw at 9:22, took a pullman,
and you know how good those pull
man bunks sleep. About eleven I
turned up en an upper bunk. About
six-thirty I felt someone .shaking
me and told Beth' my wife) to let
me .alone A few""sec0hdsNlater I
realized where I was. I fen out of
the upper and" since there were no
womca in the car the porter told
me I . could go to the "Women's
room," which turned out to be a
drawing room,- to dress. So I bad
all the privacy I wanted. And you
know that diesel engine that's pull
ing this Coast'LIne through Warsaw
now is the stuff. The train is rolling
when you look out the window to
see when if a going to start
I'm writing this while in Wash
ington so I won't guarantee if the
typesetter can read it.
Arrived bete at 7:30 and soon
got a room at the Ambassador Ho
tel, No, not the Mayflower. Had
breakfast at nine o'clock, was .on
the phone calling nearly everyo.ie
in town. I told Tom McGhee, Gra
ham Barden's secretary that I hi tl
a map, or drawing, of the site at
Seven Springs J thought the VA
should select for their new hospital.
He said come on over. I scatted to
the New House Building. As I
walked into Barden's office Tom
said. "I have an appointment or
you at ten with -Mr. Turner, a high
official in the VA so get there
Immediately".,And that I did. Mr.
Turner, welcomed me very courte
ously and remarked he already
knew about Seven Springs. I gave
him the map and some other infor
mation i took along. We talked for
an hour or so.: Mr. Turner assured
me that Seven Springs was very
much in the running as I he prob
able location of the $20,000,000 hos
pital. It meets practically all re
quirements. On leaving Turner's office I re
turned to Barden's office and Tom
secured, a pass into the White
House for me. So I toured Mr. Tru
man's home. From there I went
back to my hotel and called for
Capt. H. D. Maxwell. They replied
they did not have a Cape. H. IX.
Maxwell but did have a ' Major
Hugh Maxwell. I said put him on
the phone. "Hugh, a former reporter
for the Duplin Times, was driving
do-vn- to Duplin that night so I
hopped a ride.
'After getting straight with Hugh
I visited Senators Hoey's and Urn
stead's office. Jack Spain, secre
tary to Senator Hoey, sent special
greetings to Bob Dail In Kenans
ville. He said he would never for
get the good coca colas Bob used
to make when he ran tne drug
stove here.--HOSPITAL
