After March 4, 1933. the in-
auguration date of FDR, she
began her term of 12 years as
the first lady of the country. In
her first year in the White House
she began the first press con-
ferences exclusively for women
journalists ever held by the Pres-
: 'ident's wife.
Begins Extensive Travel
Since the President was unable
to tour the country because of his
physical infirmity, she began to
travel extensively to all sections
of the United States, visiting New
Deal projects and bringing back
reports of public opinion.
The true extent of her influ-
ence in Roosevelt's administration
was a subject of extensive discus-
sion, but it was generally agreed
that she was very interested in
the humanitarian projects of New
Deal legislation.
In 1936 she began a syndicated
daily column for women called
"My Day" which dealt with ev-
erything except politics for three
years. In 1939 an obvious change
came over the series and she be-

'She Was An Asset'
"They began to think that,
however distressing it might be
to admit it, she was an asset."
After her husband's death and
her election as chairman of the
United Nations' Commission on
Human Rights, she set about the
project of drafting a Declaration
of Human Rights to emphasize
the personal, procedural, social
and political rights of men.
After traveling to Russia in
1948, Mrs. Roosevelt said that she
thinks the U.S. can reach an
agreement with Russia, although
it is hard to convince the Soviet
Union that it is standing in the
way of peace and security because
of its suspicion and fear of the
rest of the world.
No Elective Post
Mrs. Roosevelt has often been
mentioned as a possible candidate
for political office, but has said
she will never seek an elective
post.
Refusing the chairmanship of
the UN Human Rights Commis-
sion in 1951, she made a trip to
the Near and Middle East which
led to her latest book, "India and
the Awakening East."
A year later she toured Japan
and revisited Europe, making a
trip around the world in 1955, vis-
iting the Soviet Union and areas
of Soviet Asia in 1957 and again
this fall.
Writes Many Articles
Mrs. Roosevelt has written
many magazine and newspaper
articles reporting about service-
men stationed overseas, discuss-
ing women in politics, and advo-
cating higher wages and greater
prestige for teachers.
