Roosevelt Keeps Poker Face as Draft News Opens Third Term
At the Chicago convention President Roosevelt listened to Mayor Ed Kelly’s speech via a small radio in the White House.

Roosevelt declined to reveal thoughts. The piece notes Mrs. Roosevelt’s resigned willingness to run if necessary. It also covers Hopkins’ White House wire communications, Farley’s role and tension within the party, and assorted political asides including Hu Shih’s comment on blitzkrieg, Latin American ladies bandaging, Mrs. Woodring’s Kansas plan, and budget issues affecting Hopkins brain trust.
