JED JOHNSON CALLS ON
GOVERNOR ROOSEVELT
WASHINGTON— Last Saturday
afternoon I had my first conference
with President-fleet Roosevelt at
his little secluded country home at
Warm Springs Ga
My correspondence with the next
president has extended over a
period ofTnore than four years and
I was delighted to be Invited to
"drc? by" Warm Springs on my
way to Washington
Having had three days of extra
hazardous driving over muddy de-
ment in Oklahoma Arkansas Ten-
tours rough gravel and slick pave-
nessee and Georgia the Johnsons
arrived in Atlanta the New York
of the South late Friday night In r
steady downpour of rain
From Atlanta I called Governor
Roosevelt over long distance to
ascertain the exact hour that I was
scheduled to see him The hour I
found was 3:45 I explained to
him that my first ronferense witr
President Coolldge was at 3:45 in
the afternoon and also that nv
first official conference with Mr
Hoover was at the same hour
Whereupon Mr Roosevelt jokingh
suggested that the hour be moved
up to 3:15 if it would suit my con-
venience better which suggestion I
was delighted to accept
I arrived at the little sleepy towr
of Warm Springs some 75 miles
south of Atlanta on the nev
Franklin D Roosevelt highway
shortly after noon paid $100 for r
50c meal at the jonly hotel In the
town and inquired the way to the
Roosevelt home "We sho' has go'
a reg'lar he-man president now
said the porter at the hotel "Whj
boss Mr Roosevelt even drives hi?
own car" he added
Only a few hundred yards out o
the town I left the highway to ento
what seemed to be a huge park ant
drove up the winding road through
the massive pine and other native
trees to a large hotel on the top of
a beautiful hill where hundreds of
unfortunate cripples stay while
their daily baths in the famow
waters of Warm Springs that havr
so miraculously cured Mr Roosevelt
At the hotel I found dozens of
newspaper men and magazim
writers many Job seekers and r
couple of secret service men One
secret srvice man by the rome ol
Clark had worked out of Anadark
a few years ago at which time he
secured evidence against some oi
our more or less prominent citizen'
of Oklahoma causing some of then
to chang': their places of abode
Clark directed me to what they ca)
the "White House of Warm Springs"
a half-a-mile farther up in th-
weeds gave me thr names of the
secret service men on guard there
and extended mr every possible
courtesy
Promptly at the appointed hour r
secret service guard let me through
the gate of the "White House" af-
ter telephoning to double-check or
my appointment I drove up to the
Roosevelt home a simple but beau-
tiful one-story building of some
ven or e ight rooms merely gave
my name to the man at the door
entered a small hall alone and went
Into the large living room where 1
met the next president of the Unit-
ed States at work at his desk
This informal meeting was a de-
cided contrast to all the pomp for-
mality and red tape that has been
in vogue at the White House in
Washington during the present and
nasi administrations
The famous Roosevelt smile and
the hearty handshake made one
forget he was speaking to a real live
president "Drag up a chair" he
raid "and let's get better ac-
quainted" JED JOHNSON
(Note: Next week Congressman
Johnson will tell of some of the
things he discussed In a 30-minute
conference with Mr Roosevelt I

proposals to construct bridges that j
would connect Bonham and Fannin I
county Texai with Durant Okla i
and Heanrietta and Charley Texas
with Temple and Walters Okla
The Bonham-Durant bridge
would be on an extension of Texas
highway No 78 to the Red river

would be on Texas highway No 50
The two states would divid e the
cost

4 weeks aso I now weigh lbs
I also have more energy and fur-
thermore I've never had a hungry
moment"
Kat folks should take one half
teasponnful of Krusehen Salts in a
glass of hot water in the morning
before breakfast-it's the SAFE)
harmless way to reduce as tens or
thousands of men and women know
For your health's sake ask for
and get Krusehen at any drugstore
— the cost for a bottle that lasts 4
weeks is but a trifle and if after the
first bottle you arc not joyfully
satisfied with results— numey back
