The Waterbury Democrat., 1937-09-30

 why the President is mak coast to coast.
 The mystery was cleared up at Wheatland, in southeastern Wyo- ming, by the President himself during a five-minute stop in the little plains town. This was the explanation he gave the people who crowded around the rear plat form.
 Back in the dining -car, lls- tening over a loud-speaker to what I am saying, are a couple dozen newspaper men. Now you know all about your country out here, but they don't. So this trip is for the purpose of educating the press ...
 Washington Senator Row
 The Presidents visit in Wash ington is expected to have an ameliorating effect upon a secret feud which has been waxing bit- ter between the two senators iron this state.
 They are Senator Bone and SchweIIenbach, both Democrats, both strong packers of ROose- welt, and for a long while good friends. Back in the Capital, however, 1t has been an open secret that all during the last session they would hardly speak.
 Bone, who is the senior sena- tor, came to the senate in 1882 and immediately established A reputation as a crusading progress sive. Schwellenbach, who joined him in 1884, took lessons from Bone, worked closely with him, but soon was displaying a more fortnight brand of progressivism.
 More recently, SchwelIenbach has been critical in his senior colleague and friend because of . Seattle radio station in which Bone Is supposed to have an in- tereSt. Operated by Saul Haas, Collector of Customs and close friend of Bone, 1t has had it's wattage jumped up by the Fed eral Communications C0mmis- sion, upon the representation of Bone.
 Relations reached the breaking point between the two senators when the Democrats elected a floor leader to succeed Joe Rob- inson. All of Roosevelt's support CTS, including Schwellenbach, lined up for Barkley, but Bone insisted on voting for Pat Har- rison. He almost jumped down Senator McAdoo's threat when asked to support the Presidents candidate.
 Roosevelt considers both men txeremly able and has expressed the private wish that they patch up their row.
 Hard.Working First Lady
 The trip may be a pleasure junket for the President, but Mrs. Roosevelt Is finding 1t no vaca- ton.
 The First Lady is in the dln- ing-car eating breakfast by 8 o. clock every morning. The Presi- dent has his in bed. After the meal, and between stops, she works with Mrs. Malvina Schneider, her secretary, in the latter's compartment in the car adjoining the Presidents.
 Attired in @ plain shirtwaist and gray skirt, Mrs. Roosevelt, seated opposite Mrs. Schneider, dictates letters in reply to her heavy cor- respondence, which is brought to the train by special mail several times a day. The door of the compartment is open, and pass ershy along the corridor can sec Mrs. Roosevelt busily ut work.
 In the afternoon Mrs. Roose- volt writes her daily newspaper column, which Is sent by tele- greph to the distributing syndi- cate, then finishes her mail. She dimes with the President in the evening and retires early to her room to read before going to . sleep.
 Wrong Speech
 Of the 10000 or more people who watched the President make his back-platform speech at Cheyenne, none listened more in- ently than Senator Joe OMa- honey.
 It was a crucial occasion for Joe. At odds with the White House because of his opposition to the court bill and not invited to participate in the tour of hls state, he had, nevertheless, dashed a thousand miles by auto across country to be on hand when the President are rived at his home town. A Cheyenen morning paper fore cast red-hot attack on the Su- preme Court and thus, infer entialIy, a slap at Joe. l So Joe stood by the back plat. form, looking straight ahead and waiting for the worst.
