President Resting Under Florida Sun Five-Day Tour Os Caribbean Ended Key West. Fla., Feb. 26—(UP)— President Truman took it easy under Florida’s tropical sky today. But in his mind there may have been a memory of that heartbroken kid in Cuba. The kid was 12-year old Bill Barrett, sandy-haired son of a chief petty officer in the U. S. navy. Bill had been selected to represent his schoolmates at a little ceremony when the president stopped by their school at Guantanamo Bay naval base yesterday afternoon. For days, freckle-nosed Bill had rehearsed the speech he would make in presenting Mr. Truman with a scrapbook about the school. Bill's Dad, Preston Barrett of Washington, D. C., was standing on a grassy hill behind the children as the president drove up yesterday. Bill’s Mom was looking on, too. The president’s convertible rolled up a circular driveway and the children began singing “America.” Bill stood quietly on the side and saw the No. 1 man of the United States ease himself out of the back seat so the kids could see him. The singing stoppea and the president waved his broad-brim-med white hat. A teacher said “pss-t” and Bill marched toward the car, his shoulders braced like his daddy taught him. “Mister president,” he began shrilly, "I have the honor to present to you a record, a scrapbook of the school’s activities . . .” Bill’s jaw flopped open but the words just stopped coming. He grimaced and squirmed and fidgeted in that terrible silence. The president bent over and whispered to Bill. “I know just how you feel," he said. “Why don’t you start again?” Bill blinked, took a deep breath and started out with a strong f’lMister president.” But agjain, wlien he got to the word “activities,” his memory played tricks on him and he had to stop. "That’s all right, son," the man in the panama hat whispered. “I bet everything you'vq got to say is right here in the scrapbook.” Bill, with a look of mixed idolatry and relief, gladly surrendered the little book to the president. The panama hat waved again and the convertible moved away. Bill stood to one side, looking unhappily at his teacher who wore the fixed smile that all teachers seem to wear. For those who are too old to appreciate Bill’s position, the news is this: the president is at the submarine base in Key West, resting up from a five-day tour of the Caribbean. He’ll be here until March 5 unless business gets so active in Washington that he has to go back to the White House. q
