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."

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

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."
Praise For Driver

for the driver, Texas highway

receive steroids. Carrico, with
out hesitation, administered hydro-cortisone.
Steroids arc a group of hor

Hydro-cortisone is the major

with adrenal deficiencies tend
lo go into severe shock unless
