Keynoter Kerr Is Loyal Booster For Roosevelt

Phillips opposed Mr. Roossvelts re- election vigorously.
 AS newly-mado national com. milteeman. Kerr led the success ful New Deal drive ln his aeata in ioao: and ln tea2. successfully bucklns an anti-DenlocFatlc tide that sent the Wlllklos Democrat, '. H. Moore, Co the .. 6. Senate as a Republican, Kerr was elected governor.
 Out Of many anecdotes told about Bob Kerr, perhaps the one concern. ing his courtship most nearly eplto- rnizes his character and methods. In the summer Of iD2s he noticed a tall blonde visitor on an Ada tennis court. He wangled an invitation and obtained a date for horseback ride ing. That led co O tennis date which in turn Jed Co a proposal date. On this third encounter, Bob informed 0rayce Breene that they were going Co be married. and she could select the date if she had any choice. Miss Breene kept him demanding for a few weeks. but they were married the day after that Christmas.
 RROsPERs IN BUSINESS
 When he first left the Army. young Kerr went into the pro. duce business. Burned out, he studied and practlced law. Soon after he was married. he formed Q partnership with a brother-in-law in the oil well drilling business. They worked in the fabulously rich Oklahoma City field, where almost any hole in the ground spouted oil. and by taking part of their drilling fees in the form os equities in the wells. they shared in that wealth.
 From this grew the prosperity of the Keriyn Ol Company, and Bob Kerr's position as a leader in the industry. From le3s until he rsn for governor, he was president of the Kansas-0 Oklahoma division Of the Mid-C Continent oil and Gas Aasocia" ton.
 Kerr is a Baptist. a prohlbitionist. an ardent Red Cross. Y. M. O, A. and civic worker. Besides the two older boys, the Kerr children sn" clude Kay. l3. and Bill, 6.

DEMOCRATSSET ON CONVENTION
 ARRANGEMENTS
By ARTHUR GUNDERsON

By ARTHUR GUNDEkSOG lUnised Press Stan CoFFexpendentD
 Chicago. July is - CU.PD - Dele gates to the Democratic National Convention are all set to pick up where the Republicans left of three weeks ago-but have added plans for m elevator to the speakers plat form.
 Hotel accommodations are the same for the next wave" of dele- gates and the Chicago Stadium is approximately the same. but the elevator will come up right where there Is easy access to the front Of the platform.
 Most of the preliminary work for the second big convention has been under the direction of Am- brOse J. O'connell, who has since been appointed to the court Of c'ls- toms and patent appeals. OCon- nell has been succeeded by Stead- ham AclEer. manager Of the Bir. mingham. Ala. airport.
 Use Same Offices
 When the Republican staff or- ganization left. the Democrats moved in, even to taking over the same suite of oillces on the sev- enth floor Of the Stevens Hotel. There they will function in the same manner as did the COP of- ficials in settling up tile!s meeting.
 Hotel reservations fof the press, delegates and party leaders were cleared through the same commit tee from Chicago's big hotels, and tn many eases the same rooms will be available for the more than 1000 press, radio and newsreel men and women.
 While the Republican conyen- ton was on, many of the speeches hit at the Democrats for dlsoF. ganixati0n in 0filee. but that didn't prevent the Democrats from tak- ing advantage of the preparatory work that had been accomplished in the last five months.
 Cooperation between the two party arrangements committee mas paid off tO the extent Of about e20 900 savings for both parties.
 Hotel Problem Eased
 Hotel rooms, considered one 0l the biggest problems the Republl- cans had, wlll be eased somewhat for the Democrats meeting be. cause other conventions will moi interfere. 4 national convention Of cost accountants took almost 1000 rooms in downtown hotel away from the Republicans,
 The tricky loud speaker system which vas "nxed" during the i9l0 Democratic session, and which blaFed forth with We want Roosevelt" 10 stampede the dele- gates. Is In good working order agaln. according to Tom Garry city engineer, who has been ln charge Of aTrangemeDts at the Stadium for both conventions,
 But even Garry has to admit that the stadium blueprint did have that provision for an ele' yatar to the speakers platform VI just ln ease.

 Oklahoma City, July i4 70 For their keynoter the Democrats have selected a rising politician who pos- sesses at least three unusual claims to distinction.
 Robert Samuel Kerr ls the first native-born governor Oklahoma ever had. Also - and this is Do. coming very rare - he vas born literally in a log cabin, on Sep- tember ii, 1896. His birthplacs was co mlles--three days by dagon from the nearest-rallroad station.
 Bob Kerr Is Q big man in more ways than one. lie is huge physl- cally. six feet three inches tall -. which is an inch shorter than his i7-year-old son Bob. Jr.. and an inch taller than his l5-year-old son Breene and weighs 2as pounds.
 He is big as a self-made business man. head of his own es.000 900 Kcrlyn oil Company, one of the most substantial Of the smaller in. dependents. The company's major business is drilling wells for other operators in Kansas, Oklahoma, Texas. Arkansas, Louisiana, Mon- tana. Wyoming. and Colorado. In addition. Kerr's firm annually sells about si.000. GOO worth of It's own oil.
 And he is big politically, Up to now highly successful in his own state and boosted by his admirers as a man who will leave his i'm. print on national Democratic poli- tics. There are those who think that he would make an excellent running mate this year for Presi. dent Roosevelt.
 BORN IN LOG CABIN
 Bobs father. Sam Kerr. took his wife and infant daughter Lois from Texas to Indiana Territory in . cove cred wagon, lived that first winter in a tent and then build the la-foot square log cabin in which Bob vas born. The cabin still stands and is occupied.
 The elder Kerr was farmer and rancher, taught rural school, kept store and was a cotton buyer. Bob helped his father and went to school at Ada. He studied at the Ada State Normal School. at ok-

 Based on a study Of i.200 persons arrested for drunkenness In i've Connecticut cities during . five. week period. the survey Is discussed in an article contained tn the "Quarterly Journal of Studies on Alcohol. published today by the Laboratory og Applied Physiology at Vale.

 In comparison with less than ore, fifth of the general population, pEo- lessor Bacon discovered that more than half Of those arrested for drunkenness had never married at all.
 Tn addition. wldoghood was twice ag prevalent, separation eight fiiiies as prevalent and divorce twelve times AS prevalent among the tn. ebTiaies. who also showed marked aversion to drinking in mixed e0sls pany.
 A proportion Of the inebrlates twice that of the general public gent only part Of the gay through grade school, the study showed, and, as Q whole, these arrested f0g drunkenness were either upamploy. ed or changed iehs, as well as homes. at frequent iDteryals.
