The W ashington Merry Go Round
By DREW PEARSON (Major Robert g. Allen on active duty


 W.ASHIN N.-Real truth about the famous meeting between Democratic N a ional Committee members and the President was that the President himself put for ward the fourth term idea in a negative way, saying he could not take it. But committee members said the idea was put forward very much like the man who says the talking, and to get him to listen to be urged
 There was no urging from any of the Democrats present except ex-Gov. Olson of California. From the rest came stony silence.
 Here is the complete off-the- record story on one of the frostiest meetings between Democratic lead CTS and their chief in the ten long years of the Roosevelt ad- ministration.
 Before they went to the White House, the leaders met at the Mayflower Hotel to discuss their strategy. They had been selected by Frank Walker as the result of a stormy session of the entire com- mittee in Chicago at which there was open revolt against the Presi- dent, and at which it was decided to send small delegation to the White House to tell him so.
 Nine committee members were picked, plus five executives of the party. At the advance meeting at the Mayflower, it was suggested that one difficulty would be to keep the President from doing all the talking, and to get him to listen to the delegations complaints.

BILL OF COMPLAINTS

So Frank Walker suggested that three be appointed to do the talk ing. Frank McHale. of Indiana, agreed that this was good idea, and suggested James Noe, of Lou isiana, to represent the South, James Quigley, of Nebraska, sfor the West, and Mrs. Emma Guffey Miller, of Pennsylvania, for the East. Apparently Walker thought these three were too fortnight. He is understood to have had in mind Mrs. Carolyn Wolfe, of Utah, o. s. Warden, of Montana, and ex- Governor Olson of California, known to be more friendly to the President. So Walker shifted his suggestion to a previous one that the delegation draw up a written statement naming their complaints.
 The strategy was that if the President did all the talking, then

FDR RESPONSIBLE

Since Mr. Roosevelt personally as

North African political affairs she
moment he set foot on Moroccan
soil, Washington would be warrant
ed in hoping for some definite as
surance that things are all right
there or, some such assurance from
the President would quiet the squab-
ling administration factions here,
most of whom on both sides are the
Presidents own appointees to var
iouS offices
Up to the moment the CaSablanca
story appeared, some members of
the faction which considers the
North African political policy to be
a dismal failure were hotly conf

that Stain had been invited to at

found it impossible because of his

London reaction to the announce
ment was enthusiastic except as
regards the DeGaulle- -Giraud sit

made clear that whatever progress

their common desire to win
