WIDOW'S STORY MAY CLEAR UP ‘WILSON ENIGMA

Memoirs of ‘Acting President’ to Be Published in Magazine Series.

By RAYMOND CLAPPER Times Special Writer i WASHINGTON, Dec. 12.—Maybe it is a reflection upon Washington reporters and maybe not. Anyway ‘we really know very little about the men who are our Presidents until lohg after they have gone.

. True, the spotlight beats fiercely upon a President. Some 500 ahle

Washington with ears cocked for the slightest vibration, ready . to pounce upon the slightest tell-tale word dropped unconsciously, searching with gimlet eyes for the revealing twitch of the face that might. give the tipoff for .a working hypothesis or hunch, to use our trade term, and start the reporter digging for the facts. -

WASHINGTON, Dec. 12.— Raymond Clapper will take office this week as president of the Gridiron Club, famed society of Washington correspondents at whose banquets presidents and other statesmen are semiannually lam- _ pooned.

prolific with gossips who can send a Presidential anecdote richocheting through Washington in 24 hours and into print throughout the country in 48.

Even | so, we don’t learn much about the man who is President. We know quite well what kind of a pub|lic actor he is. We know every line upon the mask which faces the public. But we know very little about the human being underneath, about the emotions and the impulses which are alive inside the character we see upon the stage.

Lincoln's Secret Until 1947

Does anybody know Mr. Roosevelt’s inward thoughts at this minute about a third term? I doubt it. How many know what he really thinks of the various: men in his

FAdministration who would like to

succeed him? Some, perhaps, but very few. We don’t know yet what Coolidge was trying to say.in his “I do not choose to run” statement—whether he .was trying to say he wouldn’t take another term or that he would take one. Mr. Roosevelt apparently intends to make his private papers public immediately: upon leaving the White House. Herbert Hoover's are still private.

Sq are Warren G. Harding's: Some|

of: William’ Howard ' Taft's have leakeg: out through’ peeks which

'| were permitted to William Allen

White during preparation of his recent book on Calvin Coolidge. Even Abraham Lincoln’s most private papers are still sealed in the Library of Congress and won't be opened until 1947. They are supposed to contain evidence of treason within his Cabinet.

Wilson Papers Doled Out

Woodrow Wilson’s: papers are being hoarded by his family and are being fed out slowly in the official biography by Ray Stannard. Baker, which is appearing: in pieces every few years. But when Mr, Wilson's two intimates, Joseph P. Tumulty and James Kerney, wrote their memoirs, they were not permitted to use revealing letters which Mr. Wilson had written them. : Now, however, we are about to

son through the memoirs. of his widow, which are appearing in the Saturday Evening Post, beginning this week. : Without telling a soul, Mrs. Wilson began writing her story in 1927, in Ionghand. During 10 years she has written about 360,000. words. It is being cut in:half for book publication in March and about half of the book will be published serially The publishers are Bobbs-Merrill of Indianapolis.

Natural Story Teller

Mrs. Wilson is a sophisticated woman, who has lived mast of her life in Washington. She was with her husband throughout the war, throughout the Paris Peace Conference, and was in a sense acting President of the United States for months after her husband was stricken. During many weeks Mr. Wilson lay at the point of death, unable to transact official business, unable to see anyone. Mrs. Wilson
