CHIEF EXECUTIVE: THE PRESIDENT WHO IS THIS MAN? Surely you know him, this man who can keep his head when all about him are losing theirs, who welcomed his destiny not as a dark and heavy fate but as a bountiful op- portunityg who found a nation ridden with fear and brought it through to new confid- enceg -lflffvo summons courage equal to the hour, either to close the banks or to cross good souls by offering beer to thirsty Wliite House guests, who lashes out at his enemies with hard scorn yet whose heart melts when he sees a lonely young girl at her first East Room party and tells her, by his order, to command the most handsome young man on the adjoining terrace to waltz with herg -Wlvo speaks before throngs with such seeming assurance yet whose hand, we see, trembles while he waits out the long ap- plause, who stands with dignity before the FRANKLIN D. ROOSEVELT world, yet who as a kindly host draws a fa- miliar, crumpled pack of cigarettes from his pocket and with apologies, ,offers them to the lady on his left, even as you and I. -Who lives with human warmth in a thousand flashing moments, on and Off the national stage, as scenes come tumbling into memory. . . visiting, on the eve of his first inauguration, an ob- scure shop in New York to ask an old negro to come with him to Hyde Park ancl pack his beloved ship prints for the journey to Washington . . . winding through crowds which press about his slowly moving automobile with their echoing murmur, I almost touched himv. . . back from a Pacific cruise, leaning, tanned and smiling, on the bridge of the Cruiser Houston, sighting a Harvard classmate of thirty years ago and calling out as one old grad to another, 'QHello, Curtis. Class gf 1904 . . . pausing during a speech from the rear platform of his train to explain, I'll have to wait a minute, there's a grand kid fight going on down herei' . . . reluctantly revealing his election guesses in which he grossly underestimated his own popularity . . . laughingly arguing with his staff that he could make a better campaign against himself than his opponent does, because he knows his own weaknesses . . . driving for hours in an open automobile under a drenching rain and dis. missing it as a trifie with the remark, I donit mind having my shoes full of water, but I don't like to sit in a bathtub with my clothes on . . . solicitous over the poor, carewom fellow on the curb in Philadelphia who, in a gesture of gratitude, tosses his watch into the automobile, implgr- ing the police to find the man and return it. -VVl7o, born in luxury, linked by family to ten presidents, has made himself the champion of forgotten men and women, using his talents as was said of Benjamin Franklin, in an attempt to subdue the ugly facts of society to some more rational scheme of things, concerned not so much that the rich shall sleep peacefully in their beds but that everyone shall have a bed in which to sleep. -Raymond Clapper. 17
