Warren O. Harding was more
of a aport than a music lover,
Johnny aaid, and often asked
the musician to cool his heela In
the lobby while he tried to draw
to an inside straight with some
of his cronies upstairs.
Calvin Coolidge liked his
music on the quiet side "almost
to the point of complete quiet,
although Mrs. Coolidge seemed
to enjoy it."
If Herbert Hoover liked music
he kept still about it, according
to the organist, "because I was
never invited to the White
House to play for him."
Johnny hasn't played for the
present occupant of the White
House, who happens to be a
musician himself. But he's about
to.

FDR Didn't Like 'Home on Range'
By HARMAN W. NICHOLS
lUntted Preu Starr Correspondent)
Washington (U.PJ The late FRD went through the last years
of his life with his hands cupped over his ears listening to a tune
he didn't particularly like. "Home On the Range."
I got the story from Johnny .
balD, Handsome, gray-haired or
ganist for radio station WTOP.
Johnny knew Mr. Roosevelt well
and spent many hours entertain
ing him.
"The first time I went to see
him," Johnny said, "I was with
Eddie Peabody, the famous
banjo player and a great friend
of the late chief. We sat down
and started to whack out a few
licks of 'Home on the Range'."
FDR yelled "Stop it," and told
the music-makers how the
legend sprouted and grew.
At a press conference once,
somebody asked the president if
he didn't think the tune was a
pretty fancy one. He admitted
that it was. The next day some
body wrote a column in the
papers saying it was his favorite.
He was stuck with it.
"Actually," said Johnny, "FD
R's favorite the one he asked
me to play most often was 'Yel
low Rose of Texas.' Eddie and I
played it that first day. After
Eddie left, the president asked
me if I would stick around for
a few minutes.
"He said: 'You fellows did a
good job on that; only you had
the right words but the wrong
tune.' The president hummed it
for me and I wrote it down on
the back of an envelope. I had
it transcribed on a piece of
music paper and gave it to FDR
as a present He asked me to
autograph it for him."
Johnny, by the way, doubt
less has entertained more presi
dents than any man alive. He
started with Woodrow Wilson,
who could be lulled to sleep as
the muted organ gave out the
classics.

How Would You Say It?
Curlry Lawson'i eoaln from back
Eit and a few of u got talking
when he was here tiki tinff, and I
couldn't help noticing how different
be aaid things.
For instance, he aaid, "Lifting
that 200-ponnd bay of cement al
most killed me." "You mean tack
of cement?" asks Curlcy. (That's
the way we'd say it) "No inter
rupts young Elliott who'd spent a
lot of time down South, "He means
a 'poke of see-ment.' "
It was good for a chuckle, any
way. Bag, sack or poke we knew
what he was trying to swy. It
just depends on when you an a
the V. S., which way sounds right.
From where I sit, whenever v
criticize someone for sounding fan
ay to ns, we ought to think how wa
sound to them. It's the same as
choosing yowr liquid refreshment.
I'm accustomed to a moderate glasa
of beer yoa may like gmger ale
bat who's to say the other's wrewg
rd say we'ra bota right!
