double -erossed, he goes into a fury
out loud and on the spot"
Hall was born Oct. 2, 1900, in
Oyster Bay, on Long Island Sound,
near what later became President
White House ON Sycamore Hill.
His father, Franklyn w. Hall,
was TR's eoaehman and later
served as White House librarian.
At Mrs. Roosevelt's suggestion,
Hail was named after TR's old
friend, Gen. Leonard Wood of
Spanish-American War fame.
The youngest Of eight children,
with four brothers and three sis
tiers, Len Hall played with the
Roosevelt youngsters in grammar
school and In the cool woods and
coves around Oyster Bay. His boy
hood chum was Quentin, youngest
Of the Roosevelt sons, who was
killed in World War /.
The last Of eight children, Len
Hall had to work his way through
Georgetown University in Wash
ington.
For $50 q month, he worked days
as power company clerk, and
studied law at night. He won his
law degree in 1920 at the age of 10
and was admitted to the New York
bar a year later.
Hall broke into politics in 1927,
when he ran for the New York
State Assembly and won.
Today, II you ask Hall whether
he is an "Old Guard" Republican
or an Eisenhower "Young Repub.
liean," he will tell you:
81 got into politics in Oyster Bay
by beating an old guard. Then l
lost my hair and waistline and
became a young Republican"
Hall reluctantly served as sheriff
Of Nassau County from 1923 to 1891
the only Job I ever held that I
didn't like" he says-and in 1884
returned I'd the State Assembly for
four more years. Then, In 1888, he
was elected to Congress.
Hall gave up his seat in Congress
to become surrogate Judge of wills
and estates In Nassau County. He
left Washington largely because
his petite, hasel-eysd wife, Gladys,
wanted him to settle down to q
quieter life in Oyster Bay.
II promised her I'd stay home
for q WHILE" Hall said.
He did-for exactly three months
and nine days.
Hall gave up his $2s, ,OOO.a year
lifetime job as surrogate and ac-
cepted the COP national chairman
post. He draws $s2, 800 a year ex-
penses, but NO salary.
Now, preparing for the big cleo
ten campaign, Hall puts in a 16-
hour day at the job he likes best:
talking with people.

WASHINGTON, Sept. q "a
Everybody on Capitol Hill knew
big, jovial Len Hall during his IA
years in Congress.
Hall didn't exactly set the place
on fire. He introduced few. bills,
made few speeches. When he spoke
on the House floor, the lawmakers
applauded because they liked him
not because they listened to what
he said.
Scarcely the man you'd expect
to see as Republican national
chairman today, the man who will
call the signals in the COPS strug-
gle to retain control of Congress
in November. But Hal had some
thing that people remembered:
big, heart-warming smile for every
body, which in politics is a precious
negotiable commodity.
1t took the President of the
United States to remind Hall that
his smile is priceless asset. That
was last November after Demo.

House to report to the President.
When Hall returned to his office,
he slumped in a chair and stared
gloomily at the array of miniature
hand-carved elephants on his desk.
The telephone rang. 1t was the
President.
With a soft chuckle, Ike spoke
four words: "Get that grin back!"
Hall did.
His good humor and booming
laugh were bywords on Capitol
Hill during the seven terms he
served in the House from 1898 to
1852. And they played a significant
part, in the shaping of his own
destiny, during the tense political
drama of the 1852 Republican Ma
tional Convention in Chicago.
Tempers jiggled on hair triggers
during that torrid July battle be-
tween supporters of Sen. Robert
A. Taft (R-Ohio) and Gen. Dwight
D. Eisenhower for the COP presi-
dental nomination.
AS hot-collared delegates shouted
howled and booed, Len Hall kept
cool-and cheerful. On his lapel.

Oyster Bay, N. Y, emerged as an
obvious choice for the job of re-
storing party harmony after one of
the worst riffs in COP history. As
chairman of the Republican Ma.
tional Committee he succeeded
Wesley Roberts who resigned early
last year.

Most of the comments heard
were favorable. Some contractors

heard wondering aloud how the
Tilsen firm could sell the homes at
such a low price.
Shelton Granger, executive sec
rotary of the Minneapolis Urban
