Roosevelt Foe—and Friend Mrs. Rogers is a staunch Repub- lican and has done her share of criticizing the Roosevelt Adminis- tration. But she enjoys a "mmesz; Rebel” position at the White | House. Her late husband was !n Harvard - with the President. So the families are on a first-name, | twitting basis.

Her business-like mind is al- ways on the alert to put her dis- trict’'s people to work. Recently' she heard that a .large building was going up in one of her towns, so she flew home—she flies every- where — to make sure that the contractor would use local labor.
