...cause. His fundamental difference with Franklin Roosevelt is in the matter of property rights. "I had rather see my party wrecked," he says, "than to see my country ruined." Garner has appreciated property ever since he ran away from a home which had little, became a lawyer, married an heiress (Ettie Rheiner, his secretary ever since). Demons to him, as a Texas millionaire, are the multimillionaires of Wall Street.

S. found no change in him. Still the urbane, witty image of Cinemactor Dudley Digges in appearance, expression and tone of voice, still a great teller of racy stories and amiable spiller of confidences, he wasted no bitterness last week on the men that so hastily and so clumsily deserted his country.
