PACE-iA IIKRALD AND Agent Used Body As Shield Jo Protect Johnsons Life WASHINGTON (LTD - "1 have been drawing my pay. check every two weeks since 1951 knowing this could come up. I hope it never happens again but if it does I'll be pre pared for it." That is the way Hie Secret Service agent who shielded President Johnson with his own body summed up his feelings about "the valiant manner" in which lie "responded to the tragic circumstances" in Dal las, Tex., last Friday. Agent Tlufus W. Youngblood agreed to talk to reporters about his role in the Dallas tra gedy only because President Johnson made public a letter he sent to Secret Service Chief James Rowley, commending the agent. "Upon hearing the first shot, Mr. Youngblood instantly reached across the front seat of my car, pushed me to the floor and shielded my body with his own body, ready to sacrifice his life for mine," Johnson said. , But the lithe, six-foot agent said he felt "any agent In the service would have done the same thing." He said this as though he could not believe any one might think otherwise. Showed No Emotion His Georgia accent showed no trace of emotion of any kind as he related his recollections of the hectic cvcnls which followed the first sliot fired at the Ken nedy motorcade in Dallas. Perhaps it was the bravery which won him a Purple Heart in World War II orhis training in the Secret Service, but Youngblood reacted from re flex when ho first sensed dan ger in the motorcade. - "I did not recognize the first shot as a shot," Youngblood said. "It could have been a fire cracker, a bomb or a shot. I only recognized it as an ab normal sound." In the Dallas motorcade.

When the shots were fired. Youngblood reached over the seat and grabbed the shoulder of the vice president, who was sitting behind him. He shoved Johnson to the floor, yelling to Mrs. Johnson and Sen. Ralph Yarborough, D Tex., to "get down." Although everyone responded to his first yell, Youngblood said ho recalled repeating it several times. "I believe that at the same time I was coming over the back of the seat." Youngblood said. "I leaned my body over Mr. Johnson and told the driver to step on it. By this time we were evacuating, so to speak."

Ymsigblood said he felt he re acted to a combination of sight and sound "I heard three explosions but I think tlie quick, unusual move ments in the President's car also made me read," Young blood said. "I'm not sure I re acted on the first shut, between the first and the second or on the second. "I had no idea where the shots had come from. I didn't even know what they were at tlie time.

"Everything was under con trol," he said, "we were very close to saving him." Perry said he was called from his lunch to treat the President. He said bis first im pression was that Kennedy was a much larger man than he had expected. Perry performed surgery to aid Kennedy's breathing and massage h I s chest, hopeful of reviving the heartbeat. "My initial impression was that he had a mortal wound," Perry said. Dr. Jim Carrico, a first-year doctor at Dallas' Parkland Hos pital, was praised by Perry for his work in the emergency room.

Steroids arc a group of hor mones designed to replace adrenalin gland deficiencies. Hydro-cortisone is the major hormone of the group. Persons with adrenal deficiencies tend lo go into severe shock unless they receive steroid hormones, other medical sources said Perry said he was "just a small part of an awful trag edy." "It could have been any one nf 51! doctors doing it," he said. "It just happened to bo me. "It is always a team effort. Tlie enormity of it did not hit me until I was out of tlio oper ating ronm and was sitting down resting." Perry also praised .Dr. David Moibene, a surgeon who worked on painfully injured Texas Gov. John Connally across the hall. "He yelled Don't get exciled Remember, we do this kind of thing every day'." Perry said that when Oswald entered the hospital Sunday, alHiut 48 hours alter President Kennedy died, the work was more hopeful.

What do you mean, Happy Thanksgiving Day? Tnu pompous bronie turkey torn, strutted and gobbled, his waffles fiery red, to show his authority as lord of the flock, before that fatal day when he became just another turkey destined for an oven. The turkey before domestication was an American game bird belonging to the pheasant family. Once great flocks Inhabited almost all parts of the United States. Powder and ball brought them down for the first Thanksgiving feast. Domesti cated turkeys come from the Mexican variety and producers in the United States, with eyes always on the changing needs of American homes, have improved strains and regulated growth to produce birds that appeal to every cook.
