Tommy the Cork Does
Commemorate Job
BY EARL GOODWIN

Tommy" Corcoran, mystery
man of the Administration, has
been mentioned journalistically)
as the man who will succeed
Jimmy" Roosevelt as secretary
to the President, but there are
strong White House indications
that Tommy the Cork" will con-
tinue in his present role of presi-
Dental leg-man and accordion
player, rather than be moved into
the executive offices.
Reason: Tommy's terrific
"build-up" as the man behind the
throne and the man who directs
the Presidents policies has irked
1.-THE White House." and it is re-
ported from high places that
Tommy in the White House would
make the left wing too prominent
just at a time when all cartoonists
in America are showing Just how
much of beating the left wing
got in the late congressional elec-
lions.
DELIGHT OF -OUNG
There can be no doubt that Mr..
Corcoran is the delight Of the
young intellectuals and that they
believe when he speaks he is utter
ing the words of Franklin D.
Roosevelt. Tommy" has never
built himself up-in the Grass
sense of the word; but he has been
the unfailing source Of this sort
OF whisper-and-rumor gossip on
which columnists get rich; and it
Is by no means remarkable that
the young man with the fuzzy hair
and the tremendous energy should
be looked on as possessing even
more influence on the President
than the President has himself.
A close scrutiny Of the situation
brings to light the fact that Mr.
Corcoran has no more influence
at the White House than so to 100
others; certainly not as much as
the Presidents own secretaries.
and, in fact, the situation seems 70
be just the other way around.
GETS REPORTS
Just at present his work is al
most exclusively confined to get
ting reports on various matters
the President wants to come be-
fore him in concise form. Mr.. Cor
coran does q very commendable
job at getting information and
condensing it on one sheet of
paper. "A close friend Of the Pr0si.,
dent says this:
Tommy is loyal; but nobody
can ever point to any policy he
has directed. That's the bunk"
In fact Tommy Corcoran is q
moving memorandum of the fact
that the President asked for six
aSSiStantS-Six strong men of
great physical capability "and a
passion for anonymity" That was
a single item in the Presidents
vast reorganization plan for the
Government set-up.
F. d. SAID mo"
Congress knows it has loaded
the President with more work than
one man can do and was willing
to appropriate money enough to
expand the White House to a
size capable of handling the bust
ness of a six-billion-dollar enter
prise. But F. D. R. said mo" He
wouldn't take a personal item for
his own staff and leave the rest
of the Government set-up in the
mess he believes it to be.
Mr.. Corcoran is smart; he has
quick mind. He knows how to
put the salient facts in brief
words-it all gets on one sheet of
paper.

dinner this year with the same
success and with the same nice
people"
Many interesting friendships
have occurred from the dinners.
Two people who had known
each other in the West several
years before became reac-
quainted, and two Canadians
discovered that they both had
originally come from the same
place.
