" A 'AFFECTIONATE FAREWELL' When Lincoln left Springfield, 111., Feb. 11, 1861, for his 12-day trip to Washington, D.C., he bid his friends an "affectionate farewell" and said he would return to his law practice "if I live." On the ride across the country, he was faced with the ordeal of 20 major speeches and many more whistle stop talks, was generally not to be at his best. When he received word of the plot to kill him as he Lincoln Off for Inauguration By MERTON T. AKERS UPI Correspondent The weather was cold and drizzly the morning of Feb. 11, 1861, in Springfield, 111. A "special train of three cars and a locomotive waited at the Great Western Station to carry Abraham Lincoln to Washington and Inauguration. It was due to leave at 8 a.m. But as 7:30 came and went and the politicians waiting in the lobby of the Chenery House to escort the president elect to the train grew impa tient. They sent Hermann Kreismann, German-American politician, to Lincoln's room to see what was keeping him. There Kreismann found Lin coln sitting on a chair and Mrs. Lincoln lying on the floor, obviously distraught. "Kreismann, she will not let me go until I promise her an office for one of her friends," Lincoln said. Lincoln Gives In Kreismann stood by in em barrassment as Lincoln, as usual in such cases, gave in to his tempermental wife. Then Smart V Sporty New!

He put on an old overcoat and a soft hat, left the hotel by the back door and boarded a special train that whisked him through the city. The sketch above, drawn by Thomas Nast, depicts Lincoln, soft hat, center, at the Camden station in Baltimore, boarding the train which took him to Wash ington. (UPI Telephoto) the party started for the sta lion. The Lincolns had stayed the night at the Chenery House because the white frame fami ly dwelling on 8th St. had been leased. The cow and horse had been sold and the Lincoln boys' dog was farmed out to a neighbor. The after noon before Lincoln had taken leave of Billy Herndon, his law partner. . In parting, Lincoln told his partner, "If I live, I'm coming back and we'll go right on practicing law." That evening, Lincoln roped his trunks and labeled them: "A. Lincoln, The White House, Washington, D.C." About a thousand persons waited in the rain when the presidential party arrived at the station. As the locomotive bell clanged, Lincoln spoke the extemporaneous words that have become famous: "My friends, no one, not in my situation, can appreciate my feeling of sadness at this parting. To this place, and the kindness of these people, I owe everything. Here I have lived a quarter of a century, and have passed from a young to an old man.

Lincoln Withholds Plans The 12-day trip was Lin coln's first ordeal of the presi dency and he was far from being at his best. Bound by the fact that he had no real power until he took the oath of office March 4, he also faced the grind of 20 major speeches and dozens of im promptu talks in big cities and whistle stops. All the way across the county he revealed nothing of his plans in his speeches and little, if anything, in private talks, Big crowds greeted Lincoln at every stop, most of them enthusiastic. About 20,000 heard him proclaim from a balcony of the Bates House in Indianapo lis at the end of the first day: "I will only say that to the salvation of the Union there needs but one single thing the hearts of a people like yours." The second day of the trip was his 52nd birthday and he was riding across southern Indiana not far from the grave of his mother, Nancy Hanks, whose death when Lincoln was a child made an everlasting impression. Lincoln Is Certified Cincinnati came next, where the German-Americans greeted him with band music and a memorial, then Colum bus, O., where he told the legislature: "There is nothing going wrong . . . there is nothing that really hurts anybody."

Goldberg has forecast long-range ex pansion of employment and growth of the nation's basic industry. He predicted that the steel industry eventually would employ more than 600.000 workers although more might be holding white collar jobs in the future. Goldberg, winding up a five -state tour of depressed areas, announced he would visit Massachusetts on a simi lar trip in the near future. The cabinet officer said that current unemployment figures indicated that Pittsburgh was one of the worst-off cities in the five industrial stales he visited this week end. "I have great confidence in the future of the steel indus try," he said. "We need far more steel than we've been consuming. "The unused capacity in steel can be utilized if we build homes, schools, and oth er things we really need." Goldberg said that he would visit states with Republican governors in commenting on newspaper reports emphasiz ing that he had visited only states with Democratic chief executives.
