he hoped the subcommittee would
be able to act later this week.
He made clear there is strong
sentiment in the Ball subcommittee
for the objectiyes OF the, legislation.
Action was delayed, he indicated,
only to give the members more time
to consider several suggested
changes in details.

The McCarran bill, as now drawn,
names seven Washington civic lead
ers as members Of the proposed
commission which would be given
two years to suggest a charter for
the District Government.
One suggested change is that the
number of trustees or commission
members be enlarged. Senator
Johnston recently suggested the
number be raised to about a dozen.
Another change under study
would eliminate a provision for the
commission to accept donations or
grants for the charter commissions s
work. The proposed revision would
finance the work entirely out of
Government funds. ....
Another change that may be
adopted would raise from $40 0OO
to $4,000 the proposed appropria-
ton to cover the commission's work.

1t has been urged that city con-
vention be called for the election OF
persons given the responsibility of
drafting the proposed charter
There is said, however, to be a feel
ing In the subcommittee this would
be cumbersome and time CON
suning step.
The city charter drafted by the
commission would be submitted
first to Congress, and If it approves,
the charter then would be SUBJ
mitted to residents Of Washington
in an oficial referendum
As originally drawn, the McCar-
ran measure specified that the COM
mission bring in a charter providing
for council-manager form of gov
ernment. This specific instruction
it is said, would be eliminated un.
der the revised plan now being con.
sidered by the subcommittee.

He opposed denomination of Pres
ident Roosevelt in 1910, even to the
extent of allowing his name to be
placed in the primaries in some
States. He had the delegates from
Texas and scattering support from
other States against the third term
nomination Of the President.
To some suggestions that he ac-
cept nomination for Vice President
with Roosevelt for a third time in
1910 he said he believed the third
term tradition applied to the vice
presidency as we'll as the presidency
and resolved to retire to private life
rather than violate a principle he
had long upheld. He, accordingly,
would have refused a third NOM
ination if it had been offered him.
The profer was never made and Mr.
Roosevelt brought about the NOM
ination of Henry Wallace over the
turbulent protests of nearly half the
convention delegates.
+. Mr.. Garner spends his time look
ing after banking, real estate, ranch
and other interests. He carries on
a limited correspondence with some
friends, usually writing letters to
them in long hand. He has an
aversion to telephone conversations
and only President Truman, former
Postmaster General Farley, former
Secretary of Commerce Jesse H.
Jones and one other man find it
easy to get him over the telephone.
Follows World Affairs
He is much interested in the Far
ley articles now appearing in a
national weekly, but has made no
public comment on them. He is
noncommittal Of why he refused fat
offers for articles dealing with his
long career on Capitol Hill. Once
it was understood that he had
planned that he, with the assistance
of Mrs. Garner, would sort out the
material. The fact that he had
quietly destroyed the priceless his
torical material has never been re-
vealed until now. When he rejected
an offer of $4,000 per year to write
for syndicate in 1941 it was still
believed he might write his memoirs.
The former Vice President takes
great interest In national and in
ternational affairs, but firmly states
that he never expects to return to
the National Capital. When a.
friend pointed out to him that only
Senator John Sharp Williams of
Mississippi among all the noted
political figures of the last half
century had not made at least one
trip back to Washington, Mr..
Garner replied that he saw WASH
ington for the last time when he
boarded a train at Union Station
in January, 1941, and that he was
not going to get far from the catcus,
mesquite and huisache of this Sec
ton of the country.

won in a convention. The Califor-
mia delegates he won when he de-
feated both Franklin D. Roosevelt
and Alfred E. Smith in primary
fight. At that time two-thirds
majority was necessary for nomina-
ton and before the convention
opened Mr. Garner had said that he
would never deadlock the conven-
ton against any man the majority
Of the delegates favored.
Neither will he tell the reasons
/ for the cleavage between himself
and Franklin D. Roosevelt. The re-
lationship between the two men was
very close during Roosevelt's first
four years in Office. Repercussions
of the fight to reorganize the ST.
preme Court, the attempted purge
Of Senators and Representatives by
Roosevelt in 1888 and various legis-
lative disagreements extended the
breach which became total when
he became convinced that Roosevelt
would defy tradition and bring
about his nomination for a third
term.
Believed in His Party
Mr.. Garner's dominant concern
was party solidarity. He believed
the Democratic Party, as long as it
adhered to Jeffersonian principles,
was the best instrument for good
government in this country. He
strongly opposed punitive measures
against men who had battled for
the party when it was in the mi
nority: and while he was perfectly
willing to give places of prominence
to recruits, he felt some of them
were given power out of proportion
to their deserts and that responsible
party leaders were being ignored.
Perhaps this last important mis-
sion for President Roosevelt was
the liquidation of the fight to re-
organize the Supreme Court after
the death of Senator Joseph T. Rob-
inson, the majority leader, and
when President Roosevelt's plan
was hopelessly beaten.
Appearing before the Senate Ju-
dietary Committee, Mr.. Garner said:
MY loyaities are in this order:
First, to my country; second, to my
party, and third, to my President" :"
He offered a plan which he said
would serve all three. The COM
mittee and the Senate, however
had tasted victory and refused the
plan.
He was thoroughly in accord with
the legislation in the first Roose-
velt term, disagreed with many OF
the later proposals.
Opposed Roosevelt in 1910
In the unsuccessful purge of 1888
he bitterly opposed the use of re-
lief funds to aid in the reelection
of candidates favorable to President
Roosevelt and for the defeat of can
didates who had opposed the court
reorganization and other legislation.

is the health of Mrs. Garner, who
mas been i'll for two years. He
takes lively interest in his ranches
and other property, but his prin-
ciple concern is in his home place
here in Uvalde. I found him wear
ing a pair of loose khaki trousers
and an open-collar shirt, engrossed
with the problems of his chickens
and turkeys. His pecan and honey
yield will be large this year.
He rises at daybreak, performs
some chores, has breakfast, walks
down to the business section and is
shaved in a barber shop. Some
times he stops to discuss their prob
lens with cattle and sheep men.
In addition to his newspaper and
magazine reading he finds time to
do some book reading each day.
He can remember few days when
he has not read Dickens.
The former Vice President feels
that despite his retirement and his
liking for privacy he has in no way
retreated from the contemporary
world.
He tells friends that he has had
few personal disagreements in his
long career and any he may have
had have been forgotten. AS
Speaker of the House in 1872 and
highest elected Democrat in the
Nation he fought President Hoover
vigorously in the last two years of
the Hoover administration. He
makes no secret of the fact that
today he regards Herbert Hoover as
about the No. world statesman of
these times, and he was obviously
pleased when Hoover said Of him !:
John Garner knew how to play
politics and he was master at
that game, but he Is a true patriot,
a sound thinker and was absolutely
trustworthy In his commitments"
