WHITE HOUSE MAP ROOM 13 July 1945 FROM: SECRETARY ROSS TO : MR. AYRES, THE WHITE HOUSE NR : 42 News stories about President coming daily from ship will in all probability cease upon arrival of President at Potsdam. Therefore, I can see no valid reason why date of correspondents' trip should be advanced. You may tell corres- pondents in confidence that it is now extremely underscore extremely improbable that any side trips will be made by the President. Although this whole business of side trips is still up in air best guess is that none will be undertaken either to London or elsewhere, but that President will return directly to Washington after about three weeks. In view of this fact some of correspondents may want to cancel reservations, since all they could do in absence of side trips would be to wait in Berlin for official handouts and then come home. Will let you know plans as they develop. If side trips finally are elimin- ated, it seems to me that purpose for which trip was arranged will have been washed out. We are committed to it and will go through with it if group desires, but I think they should know the probabilities. TRENAR ROSS Released: to NAILUWAL ARCHIVES AND mccukos SERVICE J. A.
