One Inquiry is prefaced by re
calling the President's statement
a while back that during the
campaign he would answer ques

"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.

doors swing open and we troop

starry-eyed over what they're
going to tell the folks back home
when they get there and the old
timers yawning.

news breaks at these weekly

because he gets a lot of fun out
of them. Fencing with the keen

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. .
