Future Of Fiorello
Looks As If Democratic Chairman Bob Hanne- gan With the Death of President Roosevelt
 Has Put the Skids Under the "Hat''.
DREW PEARSON Author of The Washington Merry Go- Round"O

Flynn and Brooklyn Boss Frank Kelly have put the chill on ODwyer. They now think that any Democrat can win, therefore are angling for a handpicked dummy they can control in city hall. O'Dwyer has consistently stood up to Flynn and Kelly, takes no orders from any local political bosses.
 Actually, it is learned, ODwyer will not announce his candidacy himself. If he runs, the an- nouncement will be made by Democratic Chairman Hannegan, The Democratic party leader had planned to move ill on the New York situation this month, but President Roosevelt's death left him with new burdens as the most intimate adviser of the new chief executive.
 The result probably will be that Hannegan won't sit down to talk with Flynn, Kelly, State Chair man Paul Fitzpatrick and other top New York politicos this week or next to make his decision. Hannegan has already been ad- vised that hard-working Tam many Leader Eddie Laughlin and fortnight Queens Boss Jim Roe will back O'Dwyer to the hilt.

Washington, D. C., April B. It's all being kept very hush hush. but serious backstage maneuver- ing is now going on in Washing ton over who will be the Demo- cratic candidate for mayor of New York.
 Actually, President Roosevelt's death seriously changed the whole picture. General William O'Dwyer, hitherto reluctant to run. would now be a candidate if he gets blessing of President Truman and Democratic Chairman Bob Han negan. Both lean toward O'Dwyer. Both will probably support him.

Simmons, apparently, never felt that his late colleagues had died. He never removed their names from the phone buttons. Strangely enough, their names remained in order of their departures from this world. On the day FDR passed on. the name-cards read: L. Howe; Missy Leland: M. Mcintyre and Pa Watson.
 And on that black Thursday the indicator was down-on s. Early.

 Under-Sec'y of War Patterson, who was the next speaker, got an ovation with his first words: T merely wish to point out that a man named F. D. Roosevelt happened to be President at the time"
 A newsreeI expert who covers the White House told of the time FDR dwelled on R Street in the Capital. Across the street lived Attorney General Mitchell Palmer A would-be assassin Attempting to place bomb in Palmer's dwelling) stumbled at the door, blowing him. self and nearby doors and windows to dust -. MT. Roosevelt and his wife (strolling down the way) rushed to the scene and into the Palmer home, yelling: Are you all right, Mitchell?'
 Palmer, a devout Quaker, was calm and collected. From the top of the stairway he intoned: "Art thou all right, Franklin?"
 One of FDR's earliest and most bitter antagonists was a man named Waldo, head of a syndicate He is dead Besides his regular daily article, Waldo mailed to suoscrib- CTS one of those inside stuff mimeographed letters" In one of them he was trapped starting the lie that FDR was a victim of some dreaded disease which &C., counts for his insanity" His mistake, it appeared, was sending the poisonous propaganda to girl working in the White House. .. Waldo subsequently, was expelled from the White House press con- ferences and from membership in the National Press Club And the irony of 1t The man who was most indignant Cover Waldo's foul blows) and who led the at taGk to have him banished from the Press Club was John O'Donnell, Washington correspondent, who probably attacked FDR most during his last two terms.

 His father, overhearing the chat ter, counseled him. That's the wonderful thing about being ar American. You may think as you please and believe what you wish Don't talk to Lois that way"
 When the news came that the President had died, this little box was very sad. He told his mother Gee, Nom, sure am sorry never got to meet the President But l will some day-in Heaven.
 A cameraman recalled the time Governor Dewey's campaign trair paused in the Midwest, where NIT Dewey took walk The photogs cornered him on the station plat form and asked for some shots. He obliged. MT. Dewey was tense nervous and stared at the cameras.
 "Okay, Governor said one, "noW how about Smiling?"

 FDR was in one of his windy moods, and the press crowd shift ed reStlesly because of the swell tering humidity A Chicago scribe noticed the President was un- comfortable, too He called out the signal that breaks up press con- ferences in the White House: . Thank you, MT. President" But one man, who enjoyed heck ling FDR, yelled for another query.
 Didn't you just hear, Thank you, MT. President'?" said FDR.
 T didn't hear him say it," said the heckler.

 The day Harry Hopkins was to be appointed lend-lease boss, some of his critics among the White House press asked FDR to define his job. Because some annoyed him (be- cause they thought he was evasive) 7, FDR just didn't say anything-he merely Sphinxed.
 Will you please tell us his posi- tion?" persisted one reporter.
 He will be an administrative as- sistant," parried FDR.
 Will he be paid?" sassed an- other scribe.
 The President wiped his specs, squinted up at the boys and purred: Sure. He's a Democrat, isn't he?"
 It. Jim Rowe, one of FDR's fav- orites (now out in the Pacific), fre- quently took on the President in vigorous argument On one issue in which they were in violent dis agreement, Jim repeatedly attacked the Presidential view Summing up what he thought were the merits of the question, Rowe said: And I think, MT. President, I have marshaled every relevant factor in this situation
 No. you haven't Jim," said FDR very gently. By some strange over sight, the American people elected me President and not you"
 A member of his family, terribly wounded because of the unfair and bitter criticism leveled against him, said: Father, how can you carry all these things on your Shoulders?"
