WASHINGTON —Note to the
Philadelphia man who hears the
President has so far cracked up
mentally and physically that his
personal physician has taken up
residence at the White House in
©rder to be near him every mo
ment:
Somebody’s been kidding you.
Admiral Ross T. McIntyre the
President's doctor, has not taken
up residence at the White House
and he’s still bug-eyed, as he al
•ways has been, over the Presi
dent’s metabolism.
In short, be can’t understand
why the President’s physical re
actions are continuously normal
for a man his age, why his heart
his kidneys, or some of his other
vital organs don't show some
signs of weakness occasionally.
But they don’t. And the Presi
dency has a pretty bad record
as a health-wrecker, too.
FRANKLIN D. ROOSEVELT
Feels His Years
Now, Mr. Philadelphian, if
Somebody has told you that the'
President tires more easily as he 1
enters his eighth year in the
White House—that both his men
tal and physical snap are not so
good as they were on March 4,
1933, then you’d be getting the
McCoy about the President’s
health.
For he does feel the weight of
his 58 years —probably not so
much as the average man, but
he does fell ’em. In truth, he him
self felt the need of a vacation
when he sailed for the Canal
Zone a few weeks ago. He was
pretty fagged out.
The President takes his physic
al and mental health seriously—
particularly his mental alertness.
He doesn't trust even the word
of his doctor and the people
around him on that score. He’s
got a personal test he constant
Jy applying to himself.
It’s the Presidential press con
ference. The President regards '■
that twice-a-week meeting with1
the best minds in capital journal
ism as his own private testing j
ground. His good natured ban
ter with the reporters oftentimes
■more than that.
Occasionally he’s deliberately
swapping verbal punches with
the reporters just to assure him
self he can take it—and dish it
out—as fast as ever. Inevitably
he’s found out—and the reporters
will agree with him—that he’s
mot slipping.
A Cold But No Flu
On the physical side it is a fact
that he’s not quite the man he
was when he entered the White,
House. Physical exertion tires'
him more quickly. He doesn’t
«wim every day in the White
i
House pool any more. Two, some,
times three, swims a week suffice.
Strangely enough, this cutting
down on exercise is not making
the President flabby. His weight
is still within the 182-187 pounds
it’s been ever since he came to
the White House.
For years the President has
been susceptible to sinus colds in
the winter. That helps account
for those circles under his eyes
when he delivered his message
to Congress early in January.
But a few weeks later they were
gone, along with the cold. And
he didn’t have the flu this win
ter, as did most of his fellow
Washingtonians.
There are signs the President
puts first things first more than
he used to, letting the secondary
burdens fall on other, younger
shoulders. He doesn’t take the
more irksome White House stints
as seriously as most people think
he does.
Grandpa Roosevelt
In short, age is mellowing
President Roosevelt faster than
it’s irking him. I have noticed
that the President is taking a
more fatherly attitude toward
the newspapermen, the people,
around him, and in a broader!
sense, the country at large. It is i
almost a grandfatherly attitude.
Leastways he's handing out'
more grandfatherly advice these1
days & fewer aggressive upper
cuts & you almost reach the con |
elusion that he wmuld rather not j
deal in uppercuts.
Anyway, Mr. Philadelphian,'
somebody's been needling you on j
the point of the President’s heal-1
th. The President begins his 8th !
year in the White House as chip,
per as a California jay.

BILLINGS AND LONGTIME
FIANCEE ARE MARRIED
RENO, March 29 — Warren K.
Billings, 46, married his long
time fiancee. Miss Josephine Ru
dolph, 43, of San Mateo, Calif
ornia.
Tiie couple met during one of
his many hearings before Califor
nia courts on efforts to win a
pardon.
They were married in Nevada
because of a peculiarity of the
California law under which he
had his sentence commuted to
time served which made legality
of the marriage there doubtful.
