Though President Gay indulged in no spectacular upheavals upon assuming office, he did display an amazing talent for public relations. He went to Washington for a friendly chat with SEC officials.

...official rides the airlines more than SEChairman Kennedy. In the last year he has flown more than 65,000 miles. Lately in one week he flew to San Francisco for the opening of a regional branch office, on to Los Angeles (with a stop-over at San Simeon to chat with William Randolph Hearst) and back to Washington via Pittsburgh. At the week's end he hopped to Manhattan. About once a fortnight he manages to week-end with his wife and as many of his nine children as he can collect-in the winter at Palm Beach...
