It's an unofncial title, but Spencer
Sladdin, assistant editor Of the N. r
A. Press Digest, H known to . few
intimates as the Presidents Jester,
Thirty years Of friendship with
franklin" says Mr.. Sladdin, "ought
to give me q few intimate privileges"
When the mood fell. the King
called his jester. In the midst Of
affairs Of state he needed q laugh to
brush away the cobwehs Of care from
his mind.
Where no Kings are, the President
Is. There, too, are affairs Of state,
worry and care. The President needs
his laugh.
The Presidents Jester Is self-ap-
pointed. Away back there in the days
when he was an Albany correspondent
and 'T. D." was just the Governor
OF New York, the Jester could make
the future President laugh. He could
make Franklin throw up his hands,
tilt back his chair, open his mouth
and really laugh. Twenty times in
an hour, he says, when r. D. had
the time"
But q campaign intervened. and an
election. Their paths diverged widely,
although both came to Washington.
There was still the matter Of q
laugh. Affairs Of state, now doubled,
kept the jester apart from the man
he enjoyed making laugh. Sladdin
had to evolve some method Of absent
treatment to provoke risable relaxa-
ton.
Now, sladdin's Job Is one Of peculiar
responsibility. The Government,
nightly anxious to keep In touch
with all that is being said about this
New Deal and the N. r. A., had created
q rather complex press clipping bu-
reau. In order to do this, 1t was
obliged to subscribe to about 400 met
ropolitan daily newspapers, from al
over the world. Editorials, NEVIS ar
ticles, features and every bit OF printed
matter that pertatned to the New Deal
or the N. r. "A. were carefully clipped
from these papers and read. A digest
Of them, in booklet form, comes daily
from this bureau.
Sladdin's desk d In the van Of this
Ot4 Co444 O4 Pk44tC0 44x8ttCks 6vCky R8PCk
comes across his desk ct some time.
As he read through them, an idea
came: There Is . way ] can give
Franklin Q laugh or two every night
before he puts out his light 1t the
White House and goes to sleep. And
I won't have to be there"
In every paper that he saw. were
cartoons-some serious, some avowed-
ly funny. They were often about the
New Deal, the N. r. A.. members Of the
cabinet, some phase Of the adminis-
tration. A great many Of them fea-
tured the President or members Of his
family. Sladdin knew the family, too.
But the President, reading mainly
editorials, statistics and reports b
dry-minded, high-salaried economists
had little or no time for cartoons
