 Unlike the rest of the White House. Byrnes first floor quarters are not on a central air-conditton- ing system. They have four old in dependent air-freshening units that he says sometimes work and some times don't" The one in Byrnes own office usually doesn't.
 Byrnes does a lot of telephoning and has many personal conferences. He has a direct line to the White House switchboard and four other inter-office lines he can turn on and off from little desk box.
 At 12:30 D. m. the hardworkAg South Carolinian has a snack lunch served at his desk-soup warmed cup on portable hotplate, a sand wich Mrs Byrnes makes for him and a cup of coffee.
 About the only recreation Byrnes enjoys these hot humid days is walking "Whiskers " his wire haired terrier, around the hotel grounds. An avid golfer, he has hung up his clubs for the duration.
 The Presidents Day
 President Roosevelt's wartime workday starts about the same time as that of Jimmy Byrnes'-but he doesn't reach his desk until 1O:30.
 MT. Rooseyelt's daily sched eI has not altered much since the war began. He gets up around $780, takes his time dressing, reads four or five metropolitan dailies while breakfasting in bed, then receives his three secretaries to go over theI days engagements.
 Sometimes, he calls in Byrnes or Admiral Leahy before going to his oval office. His callers are fewer these days, as Byrnes sees m any agency, departmental and congress sional delegations for him. His mornings are given over to callers Many of his afternoons now are de- voted mostly to reading reports in cluding military messages, and dic- tating mail to Miss Grace Fully, his personal secretary. Only on two afternoons a week are there fixed agements-Tuesday' press con- ference and Fridays cabinet meet ing.
 Works in Comfort
 The President loses little time getting comfortable once he reachesl his desk He doesn't care for the air-eooling system so he has itl short-circuited from his office andI has all the windows opened He's usually in light summer trousers and monogrammed shirt, no coat and often without tie, with shirt opened at the neck Callers never see him without a tIe, though.
 So busy is he that he frequently calls in a veteran colored doorman at the White House-John Mays for haircut while he carries on some Of the less weighty work of HIS OlllC6.
 The Presidents day is long, for he frequently takes work with him to his living quarters after quitting his office between and z D. m. Several times a week he stops off at an enclosed swimming pool and loosens up his muscles in the high temperature water, at the same time working up an appetite for his dinner, usually light.
 Dogs Get Attention
 The White House dogs come in for considerable attention partic- ularly from the President and lit tie Diana Hopkins, who lives at the Presidents house with her father, Harry Hopkins, and her step mother.
 Byrnes doesn't bring his dog, "Whiskers" downtown, but corres- pondents attending the Presidents press conferences sometimes get a glimpse of Fala, MT. Roosevelt's s well-traveled Scottie, and Susan, the Hopkins French poodle scamp ering over the lawn Tn the rear of the executive offices.
