j Roosevelt Selected
Hopkins as Successor
In '38, Sherwood Says
By th« Associated Brass
Harry L. Hopkins was President
Roosevelt’s first choice as a succes
sor as early as the spring of 1938,
Robert E. Sherwood, friend and as
sociate of both, reported today.
Mr. Sherwood wrote in Collier’s
Magazine that Mr. Hopkins’ declin
ing health in the next year and a
half made it impossible for him to
run.
But whether Mr. Hopkins, who
died January 29, 1946, after serving
as special assistant to the late Pres
ident, Secretary of Commerce and
relief administrator, would have run
had he not suffered a recurrence of
cancer is not clear.
Mr. Sherwood, in the first of a
series of articles based on Mr. Hop
kins’ private notes and correspond
ence, said he gathered from them
that “Roosevelt did not entirely rule
out the possibility that he might
seek a third term. He seems to have
’left a very slight margin of doubt
about it in the event of war.”
Mr. Sherwood, author-dramatist,
was overseas director of the Office
of War Information during the war
and assisted the President in pre
paring speeches. He took up the
task of writing the Hopkins story
which the slender Iowan began be
fore he died.
Mr. Sherwood told of an “ex
traordinary private conversation” in
the White House in the spring of
1938 in which Mr. Roosevelt Vetoed
seven other potential Democratic
presidential candidates before giv
ing the green light to his wartime
roving international, emissary.
Mr. Roosevelt considered Mr. Hop
kins’ health and the fact he had
been divorced as political liabilities,
but expressed the belief that Mr.
Hopkins “would be elected and
would do the best job as President
of, any of those then in the running.”
Mr. Hopkins was appointed to the
cabinet on Christmas Eve, 1938, as
part of his 1940 buildup. But in the
next year and a half a near-fatal
illness “drained him of all personal
ambition.”
Mr. ©nerwooa wrote mat mi.
Hopkins made it his job and reli
gion to find out what it was that
Mr. Roosevelt really wanted, and
then saw' to it that “neither hell nor
high water, not even possible vacil
lation by Roosevelt himself, blocked
its achievement.”
The author said Mr. Hopkins was
“generally regarded as a sinister
figure, a backstairs intriguer, an
Iowan combination of Machiavelli
and Rasputin.” But he said Mr.
Roosevelt once told the late Wendell
Willkie that if Mr. Willkie ever be
came President he would discover
the need for some one like Mr. Hop
kins “who asks for nothing except
to serve you.”
