LEANS HEAVILY ON INNER CIRCLE Tins I.ED BY SON, JAMES, HOPKINS AND CORCORAN LATTER TWO ARE FRONT MEN FOR THE GROUP ICKES ONLY CABINET OFFICER INCLUDED WASHINGTON, July 8. Franklin Delano Roosevelt 18 not only the grand panjandrum of the new deal, the man who dwarfs, all others. He Is also the guiding mind, and the hints that he Is a mere grinning puppet, managed by clever men be hind the scenes, are so much tommy rot. But lie has a peculiarity, befit described by a former favorite: "The president Is a political gen ius, but his genius Is more emotional than Intellectual.

But "there is no question that outstanding members, most often with the president, charged witn tne heaviest duties, are James Roosevelt, Harry L. Hopkins and Thomas O. Corcoran. Affable and shrewd, James Roose velt la his father's private aide and detail man. He differs from the rest In that hla allegiance la much more to the person of the president than to the Ideas the president symbol lues. WPA Administrator Hopkins, forceful. Idealistic, malignantly part isan, Is the president's trusted friend and crony. And Corcoran, nervous oi temperament, with a brilliant mind and fantastic energy.
