was kept steadily engaged by callers
from the time he entered his office until
the members OF his Cabinet arrived at

outsiders and the Cabinet session hogan,
which lasted until about two o'clock in
the afternoon. From then until four

time to those who seek him. They are,
as rule, oid-fsshioned, direct kind Of

much as possible. An outsider will have
difficulty In understanding how any Pres
