Sanders was still in Chicago to day, bat wiU reao^ Wa.shington probably bi^-tomorrow' or Monday for a series of conferenc*es. As the keynote statement of his persona! activities during coming months, the chief executive’s words' today -carried with thenv wide im-| plicators. Barring unforseen de- velopmcnu, they limited the radius of his movements largely t;p Jhc M’hite House grounds and the com paratively binef diiitance to his fish ing camp in the Virginia moun- tainis. Apparently the statement had ' as one of it.s aims the shutting off of the usual flood of invitations ask- incjtl^Bjpesidervt to visit and speak iiruiHPffwn or that throughout the counlry'. Although the president’s state ment did not bar absolutely his pre viously scheduled trip to the west coast, he indicated it was extreme ly unlikely that he would go. “In accordance with the tradi tion since their beginning that heads of states should open the Olympic games,” he said, “I had hoped to asail myself of that plea sure and I had also hoped to *pend a few days at my home at Stanford university, but at the moment it _eeems in^robable^-as . my paramount duty~rs" here.” This would mean that Mr. Hoo ver’s speech of acceptance, as pre viously indicated at the White House, would be delivered from the high south portico of the executive man sion.
