their political differences, {
Illustrative Of this was their con.
ference the day California bal.
loted TO decide between q Roose
welt third term or q Garner anti
New Deal delegation. There
wasn't the slightest trace OF AMI.
mostly between them.
Roosevelt kidded Garner about
his impatience 10 hurry back 10
Uvalde 10 fish and Garner kidded
him back.
"TeIl you what we'll do, Jack"
said the President. "Y0u come
with me 10 the dedication Of the
Great Smoky Mountains Park
and then Ill accompany you 10
UvaIde for o few days fishing.
What do you say?"
"Its o deal, Captn," grinned
the Vice President.
When they got down TO the seri-
Gus business OF the legislative
situation Oh Capitol Hill, they con-
ferred amiably and Sympatheti-
cally.
NO BOLTER
TO intimates, Garner does not
deny being disappointed at his
poor primary showing. He admits
quite frankly that he expected 10
do q great deal better. But he
eVinceB no bitterness, ig philo-
sophical In defeat. And he makei
one thing quite clear: He Will not
fight Roosevelt II he runs again.
Garner stu ID opposed 70 O
third term. But he will not join
IN any disruptive movement at
the Chicago convention and he will
not take o walk" should the PreSl-
dent be rcnominated.
T'vc been o party man oil
my life" Garner says, "and ]
also believe In majority rule. !
didn't bolt Al Smith In 1928 and
/ don't intend engaging In that
sort Of thing at this late stage.
] will support the party ticket,
whoever IL on H."
1t rs possible that Garner, eager.
though no Is to return 10 the
quiet and peace Of his Texas
home, may 60 TO Chicago. II he
does 60 II will be for two pur-
poses: TO preserve harmony, and
to help put over House Floor
Leader Sam Rayburn. his close
friend and 1882 campaign man
ager, as vice president. That de-
ponds largely, Of course, on who
the No. / candidate will be.
II 1t Is Roosevelt, Garner will
throw his whole weight behind
Rayburn. II 1t Is Hull, then q
scutherner for vice president Is
out, and the candidate must come
from the East or West. Garner
isn't enthusiastic about Hull, but
will accept him as compromise.
And although Garner Is per-
sonally fond Of Jim Farley, he Is
not cordial to q Hull-FarIey
combination - Jim's private
ticket. Garner hasn't indicated
10 what extent he would op-
pose such q slate, but he has
told friends he doesn't think II
would be wise politically.
NOTE-The Senate Ladies,
weekly luncheon club Of sena-
torial wives, apparently think that
the Carriers are finished with
public life. And Mrs. Garner APP
parently agrees with them. They
voted to present her with fare
well gift and to leave the choice
up to her She chose a silver
candelabrCm.
NEW u. s. ZEPPELINS
Secretary Edison is continuing
his shakeup Of the Navy Depart
ment, has ordered Commander
Charles e. Rosendahl. the expert
on dirigibies, back to Washington.
This means more experimentation
on lighter-than-air craft.
Rosendahl has been In semi
exile on the USS Milwaukee ever
since the admiraIs went SOUR ON
dirigibIes. But when Edison
visited Hawaii last month he
called RosendahI TO his hotel
and told him 10 report 10 him
personally In Washington.
Edison told Rosendahl that his
father. Thomas Edison, was
laughed at as a crank during a
good part Of his wife. but his in
ventions made history. Similarly
the admirals have scoffed at the
giant navy Zeppelins. but Edison
thinks they are worth further ex-
pertinent at least to the point of
having Rosendahl dust off the
General Boards report Of 1855
