Aid Of Mrs. Roosevelt, Farley
Enlisted in Truman Campaign

While Senator McGrath would not
comment, other Democratic lieu
tenants said Mr.. Farley is not one
of those being considered now as a
possible running mate for Mr.. Tru-
man.
Many politicians think Mr.. Farley
eliminated any such possibility when
he quoted Mrs. Roosevelt in book
last year as saying once that the
late President Roosevelt found 1t
dificult to relax except with his
social equals"
Mr., Farley indicated he was
miffed that be was not invited more
often to the White House and to
Roosevelt social affairs when he
was Democratic national chairman
and Postmaster General.
The enlistment of Mrs. Roosevelt
