Washington, D. C (Spl.)
"Press Conferences" find them
selves being held, albeit some
what Irregularly, in all this
hub-bub. Without doubt each of
us lives under tension: and, per
haps unconsciously, the distaff
side of life in this capital steps
up the pace to match, In part,
the split-second schedule of the
First Lady.
It's much like watching a six
ring circus, at times! Even Mrs.
Roosevelt, altho operating un
failingly, nevertheless has been
clicking a bit behind the blue
print program. Small wonderl
For Instance, recently she
read us her ordinary itinerary,
starting daily with the recep
tion of large and small groups
of women's clubs, girls' schools,
committees; speaking or presid
ing briefly at momentous meet
ings of social significance; at
tending or giving official lunch
eons; appearing at dedications
and greeting as many as four
different crowds at White House
Garden parties and teas; with
dinners, musicals and speeches
to round out the evenings. Just
then a merciless newswomt:;
asked about a talk that very
day to be given by Mrs.
Roosevelt at the dedication of
n hospital.
Due to an understandable
mixup, Mrs. Roosevelt knew
nothing of it, but she sent secre
taries scurrying madly to "fix"
It tip. Consequently, she left her
White House Cabinet lunrheon
early, drove for 30 minutes be
hind police escort (for speed),
appeared on that ho-pit.il pro

by telephone, radio, noon-day
press and messenger and re
turned to the White House to
receive hundreds of Red Cross
ers invited for 2:30 that after
noon. At this party she wore
a street length, turquoise blur
dress. Without seeming to hur
ry Red Cross guests off. she
managed to slip away, change
into a very becoming, floor
length, while and blue printed
chiffon with blue hat to match
in which she returned to greet
a large number of women exec
utives in government service
and sundry friends.
ltHS. Roosevelt's news column
of course, is now taken fnr
granted. Soon her radio pro
gram will be also, hut Just now
questions are being aked about
it. She told us much about the

A NEWER adventure for the
First Lady is doing her
turn before Kleig lights for the
"Hobby Lobby" people. In re
ply to a direct question, Mrs.
Roosevelt said to be sure she
was paid for it. She looks upon
it as an adventure in learning
something new. but I remember
her finished performance at the
White House meeting of the
Woman s Birthday Ball commit
tee. For "Time's" news reels,
she was a better actress, with
far more poise, than either Dor
othy Thompson or Mary Pick
ford. No retakes required for
her part.
A "THREE-PLANK" political
" platform was outlined by
Mrs. Roosevelt, which she
thinks all women should sup
port: (1) Increased employment,
meeting emergencies by joint
action and using government to
take up the slack. (2) A pro
gram for permanent peace. (3)
A public health program which
would help the medical profes
