Mrs. Roosevelt hadn't been in
the White House a week discard
ing musty taboos before the coun-
try began to see she was a first
lady unafraid.
Informal Beyond Words
On March 8 she knitted in the
house gallery. On March 10 The
Associated Press chronicled: "Mrs.
Roosevelt, informal beyond words,
.tArns up with her dog at the sign
ing of a vital bank bill. 1t is a
solemn occasion. The terrier
banks. Instead of hushing it, Mrs.
Roosevelt laughs and the presi-
dent smiles"
On March Is, in New York,
Mrs. Roosevelt called up police
headquarters to call off the four
policemen assigned to guard her.
The secret service, too, had to as
sent to her insistence she would
have no escort. On her "Off the
record" auto trips she took along
her own small pistol-and she is
a good shot.
Sixteen days after she entered
the White House she made her
first personal exploration into
Washington's worst slums with
Mrs. Archibald Hopkins, aged SO.
She since has made three such
visits to West Virginia; one to
the capital school lunch system;
one to Atlanta federal peniten-
tiary and one to Virginia state
penitentiary.
Tradition Hit Again
Twenty days as mistress of that
mansion and she did another
thing unheard of hereabouts-
spoke at a dinner honoring an
other woman, Frances Perkins. sec
rotary of labor. Tradition has
decreed to the presidents wife all
the limelight where she goes.

WASHINGTON, March 2.

Because Franklin D.
Roosevelt can keep smiling,
he has come through his
first year healthier than
when he became president,
DR.. r. T. Mcintyre, in pro-
nouncing the president in
"fine shape" said today.
"The reason for it. I think, and
best thing about It, is his general
attitude on life-eheerful, optim-
istic outlook. never expecting
trouble.
Sew little colds the president
has suffered have amounted to
nothing at all.
"They were so trivial that If
they had happened to anyone else
that person would have gone to
work as usual, but we can't al
low any chances to be taken with
our president, and we find him
very cooperative"

Within the White House, Mrs.

wives to say "the president"
She was factor in democratic

For instance, her press confer
ence was forum for the opening
gun in the congressional campaign
on the feminine front.
Mrs. Roosevelt was active in
New York philanthropies-and
she still is. She has been dubbed
"air cOmmuter" for her frequent
airplane trips to New York. She
even divided her Christmas party
appearances between Washington

Her mileage goes into higher

Surprise visits to "sore spots"

personal and public quests shave

ROOSEVELT ASKS
AUTHORITY FOR
CUTTING TARIFF
MAKES REQUEST OF CON-
GRESS TO MODIFY RATES
IN NEGOTIATING WITH
FOREIGN NATIONS

Wy AHSOcAuNCu NEcbSI
WASHINGTON, March g.
President Roosevelt today asked
congress for authority to modify
tariff rates in negotiating COM
merciaI agreements with other
nations.
II am requesting congress to
authorize the executive" the pres
ident said, Ito enter into execu-
tive commercial agreements with
foreign nations, and in pursuance
thereof within carefully guarded
limits to modify existing duties
and import restrictions in such
way as will benefit American ag-
riculture and industry"
The president discussed at
length reasons Tor asking such
power. First" he said,
"world trade had declined approx
imately 20 percent from the 1929
colume. Second, other govern
ments to an increasing extent,
are winning their share of inter-
national trade by negotiating re-
ciprocal trade agreements.
IF American agricultural and
industrial interests are to retain
their deserved place in this trade,
the American government must
be in a position to bargain for that
place with other governments by
rapid decisive negotiation based
upon carefully considered pro-
gram"
The tariff-bargaining expert
ment was proposed to congress
with an assurance of democratic
support, but with bitter partisan
debate in prospect on the ancient
political issue.

N. j. Rountree and w. Taylor,
enlisted men of the U. S. Navy,
attached to the Destroyer Goff,
will be tried on the charge of pass
ing counterfeit SIS bills by sum-

First notice of the bills being
floated was brought to the at
tention of Patrolman FRANKLIN
Arenberg who started an investi-
CATION which resulted in Captain
Everett Rivas taking up the mat
ter with Commissioner Gwynn.
The Commissioner wired the
facts to the secret service and OPP
orator J. f. Tyson was sent to
investigate. This investigation
was Immediately started upon the
arrival of the official and with
the aid of Captain Rivas, suffi-
cient evidence was secured to war
rant Mr.. Tyson asking the navy
department to turn the men over
to the federal authorities.

attorney for the defendants, AL

CALL BROWN AND FARLEY

IF former Postmaster-General Walter E.
Brown destroyed the official files on the
ship and airplane subsidy contracts, as alleged
he may find he has destroyed the subsidy
system itself.
He deserves to be heard, however, and the
sooner The better.
Already the senate investigating committee
has piled up sufficient evidence, relating to
questionable practices of earlier administra-
tons in handing out contracts, to discredit this
subsidy business.
In addition to calling Mr. Brown to an
swer the serious charges, the senate commit
tee should also ask Postmaster General James
Farley land his chief assistants how they could
remain in office ten months without discover
ering and reporting the apparently illegal de-
structon of government documents affecting
not only past, but present contracts.
