One Inquiry is prefaced by re calling the President's statement a while back that during the campaign he would answer ques tions and make statements about the opposion. "I said I'd feel FREE TO," FDR comes back. "Let's stick to the record." Another questioner quotes Dewey's remark about the "tired and defeatist attitude" of the present administration. "Have you anything to say as to that, sir?" he wants to know. FDR grins appreciatively and shoots back: "Just say the Presi dent smiled but had no comment to make." AND so on for the remaining few minutes of the session. Then the signal is given, the doors swing open and we troop out, the newcomers a little starry-eyed over what they're going to tell the folks back home when they get there and the old timers yawning. TT is seldom any more that big news breaks at these weekly conferences although occasion ally it does, and so the working reporters have to be on the job just in case. . FDR probably continues them because he gets a lot of fun out of them. Fencing with the keen witted Washington correspond ents is a diversion that he en joys quite thoroughly. He is good at it. There are no better minds in the world than these seasoned White House re porters, but it is a rare occasion indeed when they catch FDR off base. . BODY RECOVERED. INDEPENDENCE.
