CHANGES IN PRESIDENT
V/AS1 1 1 NGTON Recent months
of war in Europe have made some
significant changes in the habits ard
the outlook < I the President. He is
more serious, more worried. Also
he : more circumscribed. The lat
ter is important, because it means
'hat he sees fewer people, loses
. ome of his old contacts.
During lus first eight years in
r ' ? e. pr I 'ably no President in his
tciy was in closer touch with the
country as a whole than Franklin
hv <wlt. Not only did he see a
threat number of congrcrsmen, la- !
I ? r leaders, business men and poli
ticians liurm# his daily routine, but
he traveled more than any other
President. Several times a year he
took turns round the country, kept
his ear to the ground, met all sorts
of people.
Kver i. co the international emer
ge ncy, he has stuck close to Wash
ington. Not once has he got out
into the Middle West, even during
the 194i? campaign. Seldom has he
gone farther away than New York
or down the Potomac. Thus he has
missed the relaxation, the rest, and
the obvious joy he used to get from
his roving junkets. Also he has
missed his old personal contacts.
Note ? The President boasts that
he rests on a railroad trip, and
this is really true. He seems to
sleep better on a Pullman, and on
occasion orders have been given to
the train engineer to stretch out a
run between towns in order to give
the President extra sleep.
More Gold Kraid.
Roosevelt's contacts thus are lim
ited by remaining in Washington,
and in Washington also, he is more
circumscribed than ever. He does
not see nearly as many members of
congress and men from many walks
of life as formerly. This is because
he is conc entrating so much tim<* on
national defense and foreign aflairs.
All important decisions in the
state department come across his
desk. The freezing of Axis funds,
the closing of German-Italian consu
lates, the speeches of Secretary
Knox, have to get the President's
O. K. Important decisions regard
ing the army and navy come to
him, and a constant stream of ques
tions regarding OPM and aid to
Britain confronts him daily.
So the President sees far less of
the men who helped to build up the
New Deal, far more of army-navy
officials, One Dollar Men and dip
lomats. Much of this is unavoid
able, though part of it could be
eliminated by more diversification
of control.
However, this change in the Pres
ident's mode of operation is not as
important as the change which grad
ually has crept over his general out- [
look. On the surface, and in press j
conference, he is the same old
wise-cracking, fun-loving Roosevelt.
But underneath he is not.
No longer does he have the same
zest for what he is doing. In the
old days when he was building PWA
bridges and WPA schoolhouses,
writing labor laws, crusading for so
cial security, fighting the big utili
ties, he loved every minute of it.
He was building up, crusading for
I human needs and human rights.
And his enthusiasm was boundless.
No War Enthusiasm.
Now, however, he knows that ev
ery step he takes in foreign policy,
every dollar he spends for the navy,
every man he inducts into the army,
may be a step toward tearing down
rather than building up. He believes
the steps he is taking are absolutely
necessary. But he has no enthusi
asm for them. In other words, he
has no enthusiasm for war.
Most of the men around Roose
velt believe that war is inevitable,
and it may be that he does, too ?
though he has not admitted that
publicly. But judging by his hang
ing back in opposition to his more
vigorous military-foreign policy ad
visers, the President hates and
dreads the idea of this nation going
into war.
He hates the reactions and after
maths of war, and he hates the idea
of having history record him as a
War President.
At the same time he believes that
this country will have to move fast,
and if it does not move now it may
be too late. For the best definition
of an isolationist, Roosevelt firmly
believes, is one who by procrastina
tion wants to see his women and
children in the thick of the fighting
here at home.

^\NE of the leading features ot
the Yankee comeback, for those
who know his sprightly or spritely
nature, is the return journey of one
Vernon Lcftv Gomez, sometimes
known as the Great Goof.
Vernon Lefty came to the Yankees
from San Francisco 11 years ago
at the tender age of
20. For the greater
part of 10 years the
thin left - hander
played one of the
main roles in the
big Yankee aet. For
just one iTiattpr of
detail, he contribut
ed six world series
victories without
taking a rap.
But when spring
GranJland Rice came ?? ?'"?orida
this year and the
Yankee camp began warming up.
there was more than passing doubt
that Lefty would be hanging around
much longer. In the losing cam
paign of 1940 the depressed left
hander had turned in only three win
ning games against three defeats.
Most of his mates, including Joe
McCarthy, felt bad about this situa
tion since Gome/ is not only ex
tremely popular all around, but also
one of the gayer notes in a serious
Yankee community. The one fellow
who refused to back away from a
rough fate, who refused also to sur
render his mirth, was Lefty himself.
Turning Hack
"I came here in shape," Lefty
said the first day he landed in cainp.
"I'm going to get in still better
shape and I'm going to stick. After
all I'm only 30 years old. I won't
be 31 until November. If Lefty
Grove can keep on winning at 41,
why should I be all through when
I'm 10 years younger than he is?"
All present cheered Lefty on and
backed up his sentiments.
"I had a bad arm and a bad side
last season, but I'm O. K. now. I'd
like to lay one bet, anyway. I'll
bet nobody on this club works
harder."
At this spot the Great Goof is still
more than holding his own. Now and
then he hears the "call of the wild,"
but not too often. He still has his
share of stuff packed away in his
portside portfolio and hopes to win
his seventh world series start this
coming fall.
Lofty the Sage
The Gomez sense o i humor rarely
departs, even under dark clouds. I i
asked him what happened when he
seemed to be holding up a game in
a debate with the umpire.
"It was this wray," Gomez said, i
"The bases were full and there was
LEFTY GOMEZ
nobody out. Also, there was a tough
hitter at bat. So I just held the
ball."
" 'Go ahead and pitch,' the um
pire said.
" 'That would be a foolish thing
to do,' I answered.
" 'As long as I hold this ball they
can't hurt me. But who knows what
will happen if I let it go.' "
"What happened when you final
ly threw the ball," I asked.
"I was right in the Srst place,"
Lefty said.
Gomez should stick around sever
al more years, since he knows how |
to pitch.
Form lasts a long time. Here's an
example. Back around 1898 Findlay
Douglas won the amateur golf
championship of the United States.
Forty-three years later ? this last
winter ? he helped Byron Nelson get
: a draw in one of the main Florida
shows.
The veteran Mr. Douglas still
shows, with much pride, a letter re- .

Tears can't touch it."
