OF MIND-CHANGING

Keep a few grains of salt handy
for the day-tCday stories telling
how FDR favors this, that OF the
other man as his successor. These
stories are only temporarily true,
So to speak; all schedules subject tc
charge without notice.
Trick is to let The adherents Of
a given candidate spread the crown
prince story without denying it,
for a while; then to shut it off and
let someone else have a turn. First,
McNutt was publicized as the fair
haired boy. Then Ickes blew that
one up, and now Hull is getting the
play. Week after next it is as like
ly as not 20 be someone else.
Point to remember is that until
FDR names his choice publicly, he
can always change his midland
probably will. Advantage Of the
stunt is that it gives each man a
chance to send up a trial balloon
and see how the public reacts to
it. Beyond that, it mean nothing.
