Are like a string of pearls to me,
I count each hour a gain and not a loss,

MEMORANDUM FOR
THE PRESIDENT
I am sorry to have been so
long in getting this out. However,
I have been doing a bit of research
on the subject.
"The Complete Nonsense Book"
by Edward Lear, published in 1912,
"containing all the Original Pictures
and Verses, together with New Material"
does not mention the Cherable (?) or
Cheruble (?) Isles in connection with
"The Jumblies".
Through the Library of Congress
I secured a copy of the book and they
tell me that the Associated Press tried
to run the Isles down, through the
Library, on the day the story broke
but were unsuccessful.
I'm ready for the next in-
stallment whenever you say.
TOI
FIRST DRAFT
In order that posterity may have & delightful illus-
tration of what may be politely termed "the vagaries of the
American press in the year 1940", it 18 worth recording factually
THE EPISODE OF THE PRESIDENT'S DISAPPEARANCE. I wish Conan Doyle
and Sherlock Holmes were still alive.
The inception of the crime goes back to August, 1939
when the President's vacation after a long and tedious Congres-
sional session was curtailed by the preliminaries to the German
invasion of Poland. He was in the waters of Western Newfoundland
when the news became 80 critical that he hastened back to
Washington, arriving there on August twenty-second. The special
session of the Congress prevented all but a short visit to
Warm Springs during the autumn; and at about Christmas time,
the President and Mrs. Roosevelt worked out their plans for the
winter months. They figured that the middle of February would
be the best time for both of them to take the kind of vacation
which would get them almost wholly away from the routine of
Washington. Mrs. Roosevelt planned to go to Miami and the
President planned a two-week trip on a cruiser. He does this.
because visits to Hyde Park or Warm Springs are always accompanied
by mail, callers and telephone calls and e. trip on a cruiser
eliminates all but a very occasional pouch of mail and a minimum
FIRST DRAFT
-2-
of telegrams from the State Department and Congressional leaders.
Early in January, the President announced at a press
conference that he hoped to be able to take a vacation by the
middle of February but was obviously not at all specific be-
cause of the crisis in world affairs. This was followed by the
perfection of plans by the Navy Department and the working out
of distances, ships and speed, etc., and, as usual, was carried
out confidentially with three or four different possibilities
in mind. At about this time the President received a number
of letters and personal suggestions that while in all human
probability a trip by him from an East Coast port to the West
Indies would be wholly safe, the country had come to regard
any ocean travel as dangerous and that it would be best for
h1m not to cause undue anxiety. As time went on, therefore,
a trip at high speed from & United States Gulf port straight
to Panama, an inspection of the Canal and its defense, followed
by a visit to Islands near the Bay of Panama, seemed the most
practical. First, there would be a minimum of risk, secondly,
it would give the President a chance to study the all-important
question of the outlying defenses of the Canal and, finally,
the cruise in neighboring Pacific waters would be in fairly
good fishing locales.
FIRST DRAFT
-3-
It was thought advisable, however, by the War and
Navy Departments that there should be no early announcement
of the actual date of leaving or of the port of embarkation
or of the route to be followed. So much for background.
Enter the press.
The President planned to leave on Wednesday, February
fourteenth. At the previous Friday's press conference, he
was asked if he expected to take a trip shortly and replied,
yes, that he hoped to start on a trip sometime the following
week. No further questions were asked at that time. On
Tuesday, February thirteenth at the press conference, he
announced that he was leaving the next day, that he would be
glad to have all of the regular newspaper men accompany him
on the train, that he was going on a ship, and that as usual,
he could take with him on the escorting ship, only the three
representatives of the press associations. This has always
been necessary because of the limited space on Navy ships.
At the same time, four or five of the representatives
of individual newspapers who customarily accompany him,
presented in writing a request that the President set up a
"shore base" as he had done occasionally but not always when
FIRST DRAFT
-4-
departing on cruises. The President explained that for many
reasons on the coming cruise, it was inadvisable to handle
any press dispatches except by radio through the Navy Depart-
ment in Washington and, therefore, that it would seem silly
to have these dispatches come from the ship to Washington,
be relayed by land wire to Miami or some southern port, to
have the stories written there and relayed back north to the
individual newspapers. The President explained that he was
sorry to cut these newspaper men out of a very delightful
two-week vacation in the South but that common sense must
prevail.
The great day arrived. The representatives of the
press, three from the press associations and five from indivi-
dual newspapers plus the usual number of photographers and
radio representatives boarded the train with the President and
his staff at one PM. Up to this time, no word had been given
out as to the port of embarkation but it was announced to the
press shortly after the train pulled out that it was headed for
Pensacola. Stories were sent by the newspaper men to their
offices from the first station down the line with the simple
accurate fact that the route to be followed by the President's
ship still remained secret.
FIRST DRAFT
-5-
Late that night the villain appeared. One of the
press association representatives on the train received from
his office in New York a telegram saying that the office had
information or a report that the President was planning to
hold a secret conference with representatives of European
belligerent powers and that it was even rumored that
Mussolini was to meet the President at some secret spot in
the ocean and confer with him about bringing the European
war to a close. The correspondent was asked to verify
this.
Quite naturally, he thought at first that the tele-
gram was a hoax; that it had been perpetrated on him by some
practical joker among his associates on the train or back in
Washington. He spent most of the night trying to establish
the authority of the telegram and was forced to the conclusion
that it was genuine and that his office was calling for a
reply.
Let it be set down at this point that many news-
papers, as run in these modern days, have no compunction in
inventing stories within their own offices and asking their
correspondents to check up on what they falsely label, a
report or a rumor. The word "falsely" 18 used advisedly be-
FIRST DRAFT
-6-
cause the report or rumor 1s in these cases wholly non-
existent. In other words, it does not come to the newspaper
office from any outside sources. It 1s one hundred percent
manufactured in the brain and at the desk of some bright man
on the staff of the newspaper itself. That 1s why the public
has come to pay so little attention to any sentence which be-
gins "It 1s reported that" or "It 18 learned from official
sources" or "It 1s learned on good authority".
The newspaper man on the train, however, had re-
ceived a definite assignment even though it was based on
pure fabrication. He had to go through with it.
Therefore, when the President saw the press --
all of them on the train -- Just before getting in to Pensa-
cola, he was asked first whether he could disclose the
itinerary of his cruise. He replied that he was sorry but
that for many reasons he could not do SO. At this point
the man who had received the telegram "pulled the question"
as to whether the President was planning to meet any leading
European statesmen including Mussolini at some secret spot
in the Atlantic or the Caribbean or the Gulf.
The President did some quick thinking. He realized
that 1f he were to give a simple denial to this fabricated
FIRST DRAFT
-7-
rumor he would be starting a process of elimination which
would inevitably lead to A reasonably accurate guess of Just
where he really was going. He, therefore, replied that in
response to the question he had no comment to make. He was
told quite properly that his statement of "no comment" would
lead people to believe the report was true and he replied that
he still had no comment. This, again, was for the obvious
reason that by eliminating first one suggested itinerary and
then another suggested itinerary, the actual voyage could
readily by guessed.
This was proven by the next question which was 8.8
To
to whether he expected to visit Puerto Rico. /This also he
replied that he had no comment to make.
With the 1dea in part of joking, he intimated to
the newspaper men that they might Just as well not try to
guess where he was going, and in part to test out their
knowledge of geography, the President then told the press
that lots of other people were making guesses and that,
specifically, that his bodyguard, Tommy Qualters, was inti-
mating that the cruise would take the President first to the
Andaman Islands, then to the Celebes and finally 1f there was
enough time, to the South Shetlands. Several members of the
FIRST DRAFT
-8-
press asked for help 88 to how to spell the names of the
first two groups of islands. To this the President added
that it had even been intimated that he would visit the
Cherable Isles but that they probably would not find these
on any ordinary map and that they had been discovered about
a hundred years ago by the famous navigator, Edward Lear.
All the above W&B duly taken down by the reporters.
For those who are a bit rusty on their geography
it should be noted that the Andaman Islands lie in the Indian
Ocean and were long used by India as a penal colony. It would
take the U. S. S. Tuscaloosa about three weeks to get there
under continuous steaming. The Celebes Islands lie in the
South Pacific Ocean, not far from Borneo. It would take the
U. S. S. Tuscaloosa another two weeks at high speed to get
there. The South Shetland Islands have no relationship to
the Shetland Islands off the north coast of Scotland. They
lie in the South Atlantic somewhere off Cape Horn and close
to the Antartic Circle. It would take the Tuscaloosa a month
to go from the Celebes to the South Shetlands and back to
Pensacola.
Edward Lear's "Book of Nonsense" verse 1s the sole
authority for the Cherable Isles, an authority of at least
FIRST DRAFT
-9-
ecual repute to the newspaper office authority which sent the
rumor about Mussolini to their man on the President's train.
But Edward Lear's verses about the voyage of the Jumblies to
the Cherable Isles will live like the poem about the Owl and
the Pussy-Cat, for all time.
We now come to the headlines and the stories and
the comments which make this the prize story of the year on
14/mand

Excerpt from Personal Letter Received September 24, 1940
"This election has some very interesting phases,
hasn't it? At first I liked Mr. Willkie, but the more he
talks, the less I like him. Others say the same thing.
More and more are turning to Roosevelt, even though they
feel opposed to a third term. Willkie sure is not a
diolomat - and this seems what we need for the country at
this crucial time. Also, he doesn't do anything but
criticize Roosevelt; he doesn't out forth any beneficial
advice - seems to be in accord with Roosevelt in most of
the basic things. Being a so-called 'business man',
everyone expected some new ideas from him. So, F.D.R.
will have my vote and many others I know of."

MEMORANDUM RE THE INAUGURATION
The Inauguration should be marked by simplicity in spirit. It
ould, however, be commensurate with the significance of the unusual
in which we are living, and with the importance of the event
only to the United States but to the world.
Questions to be determined:
I. Would it be advisable to invite the various
republics of the Western Continent to send Special Ambas-
sadors to the Inauguration?
The great value this would have would be to
emphasize the solidarity of the Western Hemisphere to the
aggressor states of Europe.
II. Is it desirable to have medals commemorating the
Inauguration?
They are expensive and there is much sentiment
against it.
III. Would it be advisable in lieu of medals, or along
with them, to commemorate the Inauguration by an amplifica-
tion of the Blue Book to contain short statements or arti-
cles from the great intellectual refugees who are now in
this country, as well as from our own poets, writers and
philosophers, all addressed to the significance of this
event to the world and to Liberty and the Human Spirit?
Such a volume would be an historic contribution
and unique in character.
IV. Dorothy Thompson suggests that the Inauguration
be featured by the participation of the whole country, in
order to demonstrate the power and solidarity of the
nation, attract the attention of the world, and particu-
larly the aggressors.
(a) Hollywood she suggests would freely work out
a program in which many avenues of American life are
represented to the accompaniment of Walt Whitman's "I Hear
America Singing". (See letter. )
(b) Participation of public school children in
the ceremonies, she also suggests.
V. The question of a reception to Governors and
representatives Ball. of foreign governments and the Inaugural
The proceeds of the latter might be arranged to
be divided between the Inaugural Committee and the Birthday
Ball Committee.
VI. Grandstands - simplicity.
VII. Ask Jesse Jones to delegate Norman Baxter to the
position of Executive Assistant.

HELP MAKE DEMOCRACY WORK!
!
The notorious 1939 Session of the Oregon Legislature climaxed its
offenses against the public welfare by an assault upon the Oregon System
itself. It gave away to the political bosses the peoples' right to pick our
presidential choices in the Primary.
This manouver was disguised under a scheme to change the Primary
date from May, as it had been for years, to September, which is too late
to elect delegates to the national conventions of the Democratic and
Republican Parties. They meet in mid-summer.
When this same scheme was voted on in January, 1936, the people of
Oregon rejected it by a 21/2-to-1 vote, and yet the Legislature аиd Governor
were willing to usurp and over-rule the expressed will of the people and
pass this bill.
... Only the use of the referendum against the
scheme will prevent it becoming law.
Together with other organizations of farmers, workers and progressive-
minded men and women, the Oregon Commonwealth Federation appeals
to Oregonians of all political faiths to rally to save the Presidential Primary!
We can meet the general crisis of our day only if you HELP
MAKE DEMOCRACY WORK! The enemies of progress are
attacking democracy itself at home and abroad. Our first line of
defense of self-government is at home. Our battle to save the
right to pick our President is before us in Oregon NOW!

MEMORANDUM FOR CAPTAIN CALLAGHAN
With further reference to the President's inquiry
concerning an attack on a German U-boat during the World
War in which tools were said to have been thrown at the
submarine from an American airplane, I have finally been
able to get precise information showing that the story
about the tools was fictitious.
I enclose an extract from a letter just received
from Captain P. B. Eaton, United States Coast Guard, who
was the pilot of the plane in question. I have previously
forwarded to you the letter of Ensign Archibald M. Brown
to whom the President referred specifically by name.

EXTRACT FROM A LETTER FROM CAPTAIN P. B. EATON, U. S. COAST GUARD,
TO CAPTAIN D. W. KNOX ON APRIL 7, 1941.
"On the morning of 21 July 1918, Sunday, I set out in R-6
seaplane #991 with an observer, Hadeland, to search for a missing
blimp from our station. After an unsuccessful search of four
hours forty-nine minutes duration I landed at the Chatham Air
Station to find that an enemy submarine was reported off Orleans
in action against a tug. Two of our planes were on Patrol away
from the Station, and unavailable for action. One of the HS-1
planes with Ensigns Lingard and Shields and an engine technician
named Howard was fitted with bombs and ready to go. I ordered
them off to attack and ordered my plane refueled, oiled and bomb
fitted to rack. The weather was so calm and hot I knew I couldn't
get off the water with an observer and bomb together so I took
off alone as soon as the plane was readied in about eight minutes.
Lingard and Shields reached the enemy in a few minutes,
Orleans being only seven or eight miles distant. According. to
their report to me later, the enemy was on the surface shelling
the Perth Amboy about two miles off shore. The first time over
the enemy the bomb releases stuck. The plane circled for another
run and Howard climbed out on the wing and released the bombs
when he could. Neither bomb exploded.
When I got into the air in the #991 I sighted the smoke
from the burning Perth Amboy and then made out the enemy on the
surface. I had about 500 feet altitude, climbing slowly, and
soon the enemy directed several shells at me from its deck guns.
I approached on steady course and dropped my bomb, only to see
it plunge into the sea directly off the starboard bow of the
submarine and fail to explode.
The submarine submerged quickly and appeared to be headed
in a northerly direction. Although Lingard and I searched
closely, and other planes as they became available took up the
search, no more was seen of the enemy.
The story or tradition that a monkey wrench or other tools
were thrown at the submarine is not according to fact, but
originated in rather an amusing way. A fireman rating who tended
boilers and pumps at our well supply of fresh water, at the time
of the encounter, wrote a personal letter to a brother of his on
Nantucket Island, which letter was referred to me for explanation
and action a few days later. In this letter the writer described
how he accompanied me in the 991 and how after the bomb failed
to explode he had hit the submarine with various tools. This
man had never flown and the letter was I suppose merely to
entertain his brother and not intended for other eyes. In some
way it must have been discovered by Naval Intelligence, and re-
ferred back to Chatham Air Station for explanation."

Navy Department,
Office of Naval Records and Library,
Washington, D.C.
My dear Captain Knox:
Thank you for your interesting letter
of March 11, 1941, particularly as I had not heard the
President's version of the amusing incident at Chatham
during the summer of 1918. Unfortunately, I had not reached
Chatham when this incident happened but, of course, was
told about it upon my arrival. I was still at Hampton Roads
and naturally heard of the details of the sttack made on the
German submarine and the news that the bombs that ware dropped
failed to explode. I believe that the Commander of this Ger-
man submarine was de la Periere who, while in charge of the
German submarines at a French port, was recently killed by a
British bomb. I was also led to believe that he was there
trying to out the French cable which came to shore at a small
town on Cape Cod, just north of the Chatham Air Station.
If you still wish to find out who the
pilot was who threw his tools at the German submarine, I
should think that your best bet would be to get in touch with
Mr. Thomas Hoopes who, until recently, was the curator of
armor at the Metropolitan Museum of art. Hoopes was A very
fine flyer who became one of my best friends while I was
Communications Officer at Chatham. He was a radio Officer
and X very much alive to all that went on in the Station.
(I have just called Mr. Bach of the Metropolitan Museum of
Art and he informed me that Mr. Hoopes may be reached at the
City Art Museum, St. Louis, Mo.). Several of the flyers died
of flu while I was at the station. In fact, I was down with
it myself when I received overseas orders in October, but I
was so delighted that I leaped out of bed and boarded a
steamer at Hoboken at once. Unfortunately, this steamer never
sailed as the Navy knew in October that the armistice was
coming soon. What makes ree think that the President connected
-2-
me with that incident was that I sailed on the GEORGE
WASHINGTON with him for France in December 1918 and we,
undoubtedly, discussed many of the incidents of Hampton
Roads and Chatham on the way to France, whither he had
gone to settle the affairs of the vartous U.S. Naval Air
Stations.
I am sorry that I can not give you
any more exact information about the anecdote in question,
but I have always supposed that it actually did happen.
Sincerely yours,

MEMORANDUM FOR: Captain Callaghan.
A careful search fails to reveal the desired
information.
Bureau of Navigation records show Ensign
Archibald M. Brown was enrolled on May 13, 1918 and ap-
parently his first duty began on July 3, 1918 at Hampton
Roads Naval Air Station, as a Communication Officer under
instruction. On September 5, 1918, he was ordered to Chat-
ham as Communication Officer. There is no record of any
flights by him at Hampton Roads. At Chatham he made flights
as co-pilot on September 24th and November 15, 19 and 25,
1918.
The incidents covered in my previous Memorandum
refer to the first German submarine to visit the Cape Cod
vicinity - July 1918. Only one other enemy submarine pre-
ceeded her near our coast. On May 25, 1918, the U-151
destroyed several small craft near Winter Quarter Shoals.
From then until June 13th, she cruised off our coast between
Barnegat Inlet and Hatteras, attacking a number of merchant
vessels.
No record can be found of any airplane sighting
of, or attack on her from Norfolk or any other air station,
notwithstanding that records have been searched in which
such an attack should have been recorded, if it had occurred.

The story I heard relates to a
prior period when no bombs had yet

out on a trial flight.

MEMORANDUM FOR CAPTAIN CALLAGHAN.
On Sunday, July 21, 1918, a German submarine sank four
barges about three miles eastward of Orleans, Cape Cod. Re-
port of this was received at the Naval Air Station, Chatham,
at about 10:50 A.M., and soon after 11 o'clock a plane piloted
by Ensign Lingard, with Ensign Shields as co-pilot, Chief
Special Mechanic E.E. Howard, flew over the submarine and
tried to drop a bomb, but the release mechanism failed. On
the second approach the mechanism failed again, where upon
Howard climbed out of the cockpit and on to the struts and
released the bomb with his finger. The bomb struck the water
a few feet from the submerged submarine but failed to explode,
and the submarine came up and opened gunfire.
Soon a second seaplane approached with Lieutenant Eaton
as pilot and Ensign W. H. Brown as co-pilot. They were fired
at by the submarine but made an attack and dropped a bomb
which fell about 100 feet off the port quarter of the sub-
marine, but the bomb failed to explode.
The submarine dived and excaped, and was not located
although searched for by a number of planes. At about noon
Ensign Brown dropped another bomb near what might possibly
have been a periscope. Later Ensign Lingard dropped another
bomb on a suspicious oil spot. Neither of these two latter
bombs exploded.

MEMORANDUM FOR MR. SHIPMAN:
I am awfully sorry that I did not
feel up to seeing more of you and doing
a little work at the library during my
recent stay but I hope to the next time.
I very much dislike to give a
permanent position to Mr. Bie as cabinet
maker because frankly I do not feel we
need a cabinet maker for more than one
year. I wish you would write to Mr. Walker
and see if he can keep Mr. Bie on two or
three months out of the funds of the
corporation. I could then put in a
deficiency estimate for enough additional
miscellaneous expense money to pay him
for the balance of the year. This deficiency
bill should go through in the course of
the next three or four months. After the
end of this year if we need Mr. Bie
occasionally we could pay him out of the
miscellaneous expense fund by increasing
the amount of this fund by $800 or $1,000.
What do you think?

ADDRESS TO THE NATION
I assume that the German leaders are not deeply con-
cerned by what we Americans say or publish about them.
We cannot bring about the downfall of nazi-ism by the
use of long-range invectives.
But when you see a rattlesnake poised to strike you
do not wait until he has struck before you crush him.
These Nazi submarines and raiders are the rattle-
snakes of the Atlantic. They are a menace to the free
pathways of the high seas. They are a challenge to our
sovereignty. They hammer at our most precious rights
when they attack ships of the American flag-symbols
of our independence, our freedom, our very life.
It is clear to all Americans that the time has come
when the Americas themselves must now be defended.
A continuation of attacks in our own waters, or in
waters which could be used for further and greater
attacks on us will inevitably weaken American ability
to repel Hitlerism.
Do not let us split hairs. Let us not ask ourselves
whether the Americas should begin to defend them-
selves after the fifth attack, or the tenth attack, or the
twentieth attack.
The time for active defense is now.

MEMORAN DUM FOR S. T. E.:
A good many comments have been made that the President
seems to be taking the situation of extreme emergency in his stride,
that he is looking well and that he does not seen to have any nerves.
People sometimes forget that this kind of crisis is not
wholly new to him; the only difference is that today he is Commander-
in-Chief and the final arbiter in all departments and agencies of
the Government, whereas during the World War he had to make decisions
only for the Navy and all other matters relating to the Navy Depart-
ment, including procurement, supplies, transportation, etc.
It is also sometimes forgotten that in those early days,
from 1913 to 1920, he personally visited practically all defense
activities, localities and plants throughout the United States and
visited more distant places, such as the West India Islands, Canal
Zone, etc. But over and above this, he went abroad in the Spring
of 1918 on a destroyer and probably saw & greater part of the
general war area than any other American. This was because his
was a roving inspection commission, taking him first to the Azores,
then to United States destroyer bases in Ireland, thence to the
destroyer, sub-chaser and air bases of the United States in England.
While there he worked in close touch with the British
Admiralty and the American Naval Headquarters in London. From
there he went to the American flying outpost at Dunkerque, which
was under constant shell fire from the Germans.
It is a coincidence that the present Assis tant Secretary
of the Navy, Artemus Gates, was in command of the American sea-
planes at Dunkerque at that time.
with American Naval Headquarters in Paris as the base,
the President visited the Marines near Nancy, Verdun, and for
three days was with the American-French offenses from Chateau
Thierry to the Vestle River the end of July. He was then sent
on a mission to Rome in an effort to persuade the Italian Cabinet
and Italian Admiralty to bring the Italian Fleet out of Taranto
Harbor, where it had lain behind a boom for a whole year. The
excuse given him in Italy was that the Adriatic was a very narrow
sea and that, while it was true that the Italian Fleet had not
left harbor, it was also true that the Austrian Fleet in the
north end of the Adriatic had not left harbor either.
- 2 ⑉
The President then visited the Belgium Army and was a
guest of King Albert at La Panne. After this came a detailed
inspection trip of all of the American aviation and anti-submarine
bases on the Bay of Biscay from the Spanish border to Brest.
The last two or three weeks of his visit included an
inspection of the Grand Fleet in the Firth of Forth, including
the American Battleship Squadron; and also an inspection of the
laying of the North Sea mine barrage from Northern Scotland to
Norway.
During the summer of 1918 he was in close touch with
the British and French military and naval forces and with the
Cabinets of both countries.
At the end of September he returned to the United
States on the Leviathan with is case of double pneumonia.
