U.S.A. PRESIDENT
SIXTY-THREE YEARS OLD
NOW IN FOURTH TERM
Sixty-three years old last Tuesday President Franklin D. Roosevelt has guided the destinies of the United States for the past 13 years, a longer term than, any former United States President enjoyed. His public career dates*back to 1910 s when as a young barrister he was elected to the New York Senate, and later be-* came assistant-Secretary of the Navy, a post he held throughout the years of last war. He contracted infantile paralysis in at the age of but did not allow his disability to turn him from public life. He became Governor .of New\ York in 1928, and in 1932 he won the Presidential election as a Democratic candidate. His New Deal policy through the depression years and his pro-British attitude on the outbreak of war and after made him the subject of sharply divided American opinion, but his admitted sincerity of purpose won him the tribute of presidential election for four successive terms, against all precedent in the history of the United States.
