Roosevelt as "thinking from the top of the stairs." Her deep tntioitiement tit world affairs is described in this article, second of three, by an Associated Press writer who knew her well dur ing much of her career.) By CYNTHIA LOWRY Of tha Associated Press NEW YORK Eleanor Roose velt, whose travel record must be the envy of many airline pilots, was curiously adapted to the peripatetic life she enjoyed. At least until she was a widow, she never had a single place which really meant home and roots. Her younger years were spent in the home of a grandmother and in boarding schools. Frank lin Roosevelt, as she said, 'could never quite decide to make the break with his mother and build a home of our own." So they lived with the senior Mrs. Roosevelt at Hyde Park, New York, an old house which Franklin loved but for which his wife felt no responsibility. Then there came a temporary period of occupying rented, fur nished houses in Washington, a time in the New York State exe cutive mansion in Albany and then, of course, 12 years in the White House. Thus Mrs. Roosevelt learned to make any place she lighted an adequate but always tempor ary home. . . AlthouRh she never claimed a vast interest in the usual housekeeping chores, she did some of her own work in the presidential living quarters as the spirit moved her. She was, newspaper women recall, a ded icated furniture re - arranger, and they quickly learned to scurry from her regular press conferences lest they be pressed into service by the First Lady to take one end of a sofa which she proposed to move from here to there. With her innate sense of thrift, and an enjoyment for making things do, her various pieds-a-terre were something less than decorators dreams. One old friend remarked rue fully that the small apartment she maintained in New York during the White House days looked as if it had been fur nished out of somebody's attic. While Mrs. Roosevelt never was, by any standards, rich, she inherited a small income. Dur ing her earlier married days. she and her husband combined their resources his income and salary and her income to main tain themselves comfortably. Mrs. Roosevelt, how ever, started earning money of her own from writing, teaching and radio broadcasts when still in the Governor's Mansion. Al most all of the considerable money she made during the years of her husband's public life was poured into chanties in which she was interested and experiments in social welfare with which she was concerned. When her work was con cerned primarily with the Uni ted Nations after World War II as a U.S. delegate and then as a volunteer, she took a duplex apartment in mid-town Manhattan. She was a curious mixture of kindly, deep concern for people and impersonality. Associates observed that Mrs. Roosevelt really became interested in in dividuals only when they had problems. Certainly it is true that her wide contacts, busy lile and high position resulted in losing a certain talent for inti macy. She herself fretted about it from time to time. She had a great family feel ins, and kept track of the con stantly expanding list of grand children and great-grandchil dren, never forgetting birthdays and anniversaries. And her family was equally devoted to "Gran'mere" as the younger ones called her. ' - "But she's so accustomed to thinking from the top of the stairs," said one young relative affectionately. "Once in a while, she'll come down a few steps and concentrate individually on one or the other of us for a while. It's rather as if she stopped thinking of the world and was concentrating on India. Then, after a time, she goes back upstairs and back to the world." Once called a "hard-eyed idealist" by a thoughtful admir er, Mrs. Roosevelt set great store on honest convictions all her life. Her remarkable willingness to express a frank opinion and reveal a great deal about her self were with her through all her adult life. In the course of explaining Roosevelts to an interested pub lic, she casually tossed in that lilies of the valley were her favorite flower; blue, her pet color; that she enjoyed reading poetry; once was nicknamed "Granny;" thought her cousin Alice Roosevelt Longworth did the best imitation , of her; en joyed wearing jewelry of his toric or sentimental interest; disliked slacks except in the country, and became "cold and silent" when she lost her tem per. She had a few vanities, but one of them was her undoubted ability to plan life so thorough ly that she could get through a greatest amount of work and chores in the smallest amount of time. Actually, Mrs. Roose- vent worked long hours most of the time an 18 to 20-hour day. Frequently she took care of her column writing and cor respondence after returning around midnight from one or another of the interminable succession of banquets and lee tures and speeches which kept her busy. "I get along nicely on four hours sleep, she admitted. "But you see," she would add, happily and almost apologetical ly, "I have nothing to do ex cept work . . . no one is depend ing on me." And you could tell by the way she said it, that she was having the time of her life, just working. Two University of Oregon alumnae groups plan benefits Thursday from 1 to 4 p.m. at their respective chapter houses on the campus. Kappa Alpha Theta alumnae scheduled a Flaming Festival tea and candle sale, proceeds to go to the Institute of Logo pedics in Wichita, the national philanthropy of the sorority.
