By R. M. MacCOLL
KEY WEST (Florida), Nov. 16. WAS sitting in the Press headquarters:
watching two now photographors play à game of pool, when a man wearing a white crash helmet and an enormous smile bounced into the room.
"Hello, boys, who's winning?" he inquired' geninily.
Overnwed by the audience, one of the players mis-cued.
"That the best you can do" went on the President."Say, I'll have to send someone aver
to give you fellows some lessons."
Harry Truman brings to his "lazy" vacation in this former rum-runners' benchhead the same: gusto that swept him through the late electioneer- ing fracas......
He gets up "late" that means,seven instead of 5.30, his normal time in Washington. He eats a breakfast of orange juice, two strips of bacon,.' and toast (no eggs), in the unpretentious, white- painted frame house lent him by the naval officer in command.
