The final and moat fascinating footnote to the Xew York city election triumph of Florellq H. La Guardla Is the story of President Roosevelt's testimonial letter to the bouncing, dynamic, ex tremely able little mayor. Throughout the New York mayor alty fight, the president's right hand knew even less than usual about what bla left hand waa doing. His genial political wizard, Postmaster General James A. Parley, hand picked Jeremiah Mahoney for the Democratic candidacy and fought bard for him. Yet the president lost his temper rather completely with the White House correspondents when they Intimated that the New Deal waa anti-La Guardla. And while Parley waa getting In his licks for Mahoney, another cabi net officer, Secretary of the Interior Harold. I. Ickes, waa publicly butter ing Mayor La Guardla. On top of . all this came the president's testi monial letter. The settlement of the threatened B. M. T. subway strike. In which La Guardla had a large part, occur red In mid-October and mid-campaign. According to the most reliable reports. It gave the president hla chance. Taking the strike settlement as hla theme, he wrote La Guardla & highly flattering congratulatory let terthe kind of letter one politician writes another for publication pur poses. Unfortunately for the president. It waa perfectly obvious by that time that Mayor La Guardla would win by a large majority. No one knew that better than the mayor. Instead of offering the presidential testi monial to a waiting world, he. quietly ;keted It. After all, the mayor had no great desire to share the oredlt for his re-election with any one. Immediately after the city election, the president saw La Guardia at the Roosevelt town house, and Jim Far ley sat In on the talk. Perhaps the president was Irritated at the strange disregard for hla testimonial. At any rate, it Is now known that the con versa t ion was one of those joshing matches to which the president re sorts wben the time Isn't ripe to talk turkey. An even better bet on the reason for the conversation's emptiness Is that La Guardla, having gained such national stature from hts recent tri umph, didn't want to nestle under any man's wing. The mayor haa some very definite Ideas about the future During the campaign Itself, In a bar room chat between bout of oratory, he revealed some of these notions to a colleague on the fusion-Republican ticket. Be waa quite positive that the line-up in 1040 would present a clear-cut division between the con servative and liberal forces in Amer- ( Continued on Psjre Pour.)
