He claimed he didn't get a 'vacation at all on most of his theoretical holiday trips out of town. Subsequently, he is supposed to have told another group of guests thnt, lor (lie rest of his term of office, he would do most of his golfing at Burning Tre? In nearby Maryland or ut thc Gettysburg Country Club. He spoke of !ossi bly one more trip to the Augusta 'Ga l National Golf Club next spring. Quite obviously, he has changed his thoughts on thc subject of holidays. The change is due par tially to his more recent cold, but in large measure to thc gentle pressure of his friends and mem bers of his staff. He recently scnt eight days in Palm Springs, Ca'if., playing golf seven of those days. Palm Spruigs and its dry, hot weather produced a marked improvement in a cold that had nagged him since Labor Day.

He made a ma jor production out of cutting and serving his second big birthday cake of the day. While many of the other guests were having cocktails, the Presi dent concent! ated on a towering white and yellow cake.

NEFF HOLLYWOOD U'Pli There's a Sammy Mandell in Chicago and there's a Sammy Mandell in Hol lywoodand both claim to be the 55-year old former lightweight boxing champion of the world. The real Sammy .Mandell might be heir to a two million dollar fortune or the brunt of a cruel hoax. But associates of the two men seemed uncertain which was the real Sammy Mandell much less whether the alleged two million dollar fortune even existed. . John Gallagher, a free lance writer, told United Press Inter national he has known the Holly wood Sammy Mandell for three years. "This thing leaves me a little bewildered to say the least," said Gallagher. "I was planning a story on him. He talked to me about every one of his fights. 1 did research on the fights and what he said was true." "He's not the sort to pull such scheme." Gallagher said. "You get to know a person in three years." Gallagher said the Hollywood Mandell gave him a picture in the pose of the fighters of the 2us and 90s. . 'I could see thc resemblance to an aging Sammy Mandell." he said. But a newsman from Mandcll's hometown of Kockford, 111., said he spotted the Hollywood Man dell s picture as a phony. He said he knew the real Mandell and that Sammy Mandell of Holly wood "looked nothing like the fighter." He said he knew the tighter to be the Sammy Mandell of Chi cago. Efforts to contact the Hollywood Sammy Mandell Wednesday night failed. But in Chicago. Sammy Man dell of suburban Oak Park said: "I'm the victim of a typical Hollywood hoax. "The last time t heard of an other Sammy Mandell was some guy using my name and promot ing fights intSt. Louis. He was a phony too." The Hollywood Mandell gained headlines in Los Angeles papers Wednesday when he claimed he was told a month ago an ad ap peared in a Beverly Hills. Calif., newspaper saying his uncle, Chris topher Greco, had died and left him more than two million dollars. The ad instructed him to con tact Francisco Bartoli, a Rome. Italy, attorney, and Joseph Greco! Brooklyn. N.Y., a cousin, he said Efforts to trace the persons who placed the ad failed. THE " DANM00RE , HOTEL 1 All Transient 6ueu. All those who cobmj, return.

The Hollywood Sammy Man dell's story was that he gave his uncle $32,000 in 1932 from his es timated million and a half dollar ring earnings so the older man could invest in sulphur mines in Sicily. He said he hadn't heard from the uncle since 1943. According to the record books. Sammy Mandell the fighter was a native of Kockford. 111., and held the lightweight championship from 1926 when he beat Rocky Kansas in Chicago to 1930 when he was kayoed in New York by Al Singer. 22 8314 Hi-Fli?rs i2340 Shirley Down 537, 216.
