Roosevelt's attention to the out
standing abilities of Prof Raymond
Moley, of Columbia University, who was
the Governors sole companion at the
recent precedent-making conference
with President Hoover over the for

the National Crime Commission Louis
Howe had come into frequent contact
with Prof. Moley, who was greatly
interested in the work. and the two
men had become fast friends. Moley.
quiet and efficient like Howe, already
has made himself almost as indispens-
able to the President-elect in regard to
problems of government as is Howe in
the handling of practical politics, and
he will undoubtedly accompany Mr..
Roosevelt to Washington as one Of his
expert advisers when the new Presi-
dent enters the White House.
Crime interests Louis Howe enor-
mously. AS assistant to J. Weston
Allen, chairman of the National Crime
Commission, he has made investigations
of the many criminal rackets that have
sprung up like poisonous toadstools since
prohibition opened Pandora box OF
evils upon this country-and he is con-
vinced that if something is not done
about it. the Government itself will be
menaced by these plunder-drunken
racketeers of the underworld.
Will Fight Racketeers.
Some means must be devised by the
Government to end these racketS says
Mr. Howe. and he believes that Frank
lin Roosevelt is going to find these
means. The problem, Howe feels, has
become far graver to our country than
the payment of foreign debts. and
President-el elect Roosevelt is keenly in
terested in its solution.
No one loves a good detective story
mere than Louis Howe-but it must be
good. He has studied crime and Ameri-
can police systems so much that he
can no longer read an American detec-
tive yarn-he knows from frst-hand
experience that the characters and
methods of procedure are usually i'm
possible But he knows little OF Scot
land Yard and it's methods and can
read and enjoy English thrillers. He

Howe has always been troubled with

mind is so active that when he goes

handspring Of his character. So it was
only natural that when Franklin
Roosevelt was nominated for the Vice
Presidency in 1920 Louis Howe should
accompany him on his speaking tours.
That was not Democratic year. but
Roosevelt was making friends in all
sections of the country when, without
warning, he was stricken with infan-
tile paralysis. That was a facer, but
Louis Howe at once put aside his per-
sonal plans and went to live in the
Roosevelt home. When Roosevelt be-
gan to recover Howe urged him not to
abandon his political career, prophesy-
ing with uncanny clairvoyance that
Roosevelt would some day make" the
White House. And Howe is full of ad-
miration for the sportsmanlike way
that Franklin Roosevelt played the
game.
He never showed signs of discour-
agement or despair said Mr.. Howe;
'he treated the entire affair as a SOL
dier would treat wound and made
his plans as If nothing had happened.
I have known Franklin as well as a
valet could and he still remains hero
to me-"
Mr.. Howe has a wife and two chill
dren-but he carries with him no aura
OF QOmeSClclCy. In the nome OF FRANK
lin Roosevelt he stands in loco PARENTS,
and his advice is sought not only by
the President-elect and his wife, but
by the Roosevelt children, who have
the greatest affection for this quiet lit
tie man with the queer clothes and big
bump or humor.
Inspires Loyalty.
One may gain clear idea Of a mans
character by the way his close asso-
ciateS speak of him, and Louis Howe
has inspired the same loyalty in his
co-workers that he has given to Frank
lin Roosevelt. They all like him and
speak Of him with respect and affec-
ton. That is probably why the Demo-
cratic National Campaign Committee
in the last presidential election. was
credited with being the most efficient
in the history of the Democratic party.
