CHANDOR, Douglas
New York, New York
January 24, 1942
Wrote to the President sending a (copy of ?) the finished color plate reproduction of the
portrait which he painted of the President's mother in 1940. Says he belives it is
quite an improvement on the one he sent the President last fall. Says that prior to
Dec. 7th, a book on Mr. Chandor8s work was being prepared by the art critic, Malcolm
Vaughan, to be published by William Rudge's Sons. Says despite events, they have decided
to go ahead with its publication. Realizing that the Portrait of the President's mother
is one of the best things he has ever done, Mr. Chandor is taking the liberty of using
it, in tribute, as a frontispiece for his book. Asks the President to write a short note
to him expressing his thoughts in regard to the portrait, and asks permission to use
the note in facsimile, or in quotation, somewhere in the book. -- The President wrote to
Mr. Chandor on Jan. 29, 1942, expressing thanks for the color plate reproduction of the
portrait. Assures Mr. Chandor that the original of this portrait of the President's mother
is a possession which the President shall always cherish. Says it hangs in the Library
at Hyde Park where it has been much admired for its artistic merit and as a faithful
portrait depicting President's mother in a characteristic mood so familiar to those who
knew her best. Says he shall always be indebeed to Mr. Chandor for so priceless a gift.
-- Attached is President's memo of Jan. 28, 1942, to Mr. Hassett re reply. -- On Feb. 7,
1942, the President rewrote his letter changing the last word "gift" to the word
"treasure". This was the only change in the letter. The change of wording was in

WASHINGTON, D.C.
Honourable Sir:
Throughout the history of United States and Canada, the
relations between the countries have never been more cordial than they
have been during your regime as President of United States. This happy
condition is due in no small degree, to your sympathy with and under-
standing of this country. You have constantly fostered a spirit of
neighborliness which has struck a most responsive chord amongst us.
During the last few weeks, you have had conferences with
Honourable Winston Churchill, Prime Minister of England, which have
aroused great enthusiasm in the English-speaking world. A small group
of us in the City of Peterborough designed and made a bronze medal to
be presented to the Prime Minister of England as a token of their
admiration for him. It was felt that you might like to have one also
as a memento of this great occasion, and as a token of our keen
appreciation of your efforts in promoting such a healthy relationship
amongst our respective countries. Allow us to congratulate you upon
attaining the sixtieth anniversary of your birth.
Yours respectfully,

Dear Mr. President:
Indeed, Mr. President these are times of trials
and tribulations. Those priciples of democracy that were so
faithfully inculcated in the minds and hearts of the Filipinos
but in America as well.
are now in their gravest peril. Not only in the Philippines
The benevolence of the American people is known the
world over. But now, that we are at war it becomes a case of
"Charity begins at home". However, we must not forget for a
moment that we have a faithful friend in China and other na-
tions fighting with us for the same cause.
As a civilian my first concern is the maintenance of
public morale, the welfare of children and civilians. It is a
God given command that the innocents must be protected.
We can not expect the least act of benevolence from
our treacherous enemy. Let us not expect in the least that a
Japanese soldier will spare a thread to bind the wound of an
American or Filipino.
We, the Filipinos in Southern California have organiz-
ed a Philippine War Relief Fund. This is the answer for those
who desire to have their donations used in the Philippines.
This Philippine War Relief is a unit of the American
Red Cross granted to us by the Los Angeles Chapter. The funct-
ion of this unit is to facilitate the collection of funds for
the Philippines and also to aid the Red Cross in its already
overtaxed efforts in its world wide activities.
Mr. President, sincerety alone will not succeed. With
out your official endorsment as President of the American Red
Cross dureeffortstto aid our people will be in vain. We most
sincerely desire that this humanitarian task we have undertaken
be known to all Filipinos in America.

Dear Mr. Early,
Probably very few people realize the tremendous load of work
and responsibility that the World War has imposed upon you
and President Roosevelt, and many of us workers who have
benefited so freely through his efforts in the past wish there
were some substantial way we could lend a hand to help at the
present time. Aside from the war work that we are engaged in
and the contributions to the war effort that we make in other
ways, this union would like to make a personal contribution in
the hopes that it will be an added convenience, even though
small, to the president's daily work.
We take pleasure therefore in sending a fountain pen and pencil
of our manufacture which we would be honored to have him use
and which we hope he will enjoy. We would highly appreciate it
if you would convey this to him.
*
There are others high in government administration to whom we
feel a similar great debt--for example, the Hon. Cordell Hull
and Mr. Sumner Welles. Normally over 40% of The Parker Pen
Company's business is export and Mr. Parker has told us on
several occasions that the efforts toward international free
trade made by the above two gentlemen have helped very greatly.
We are therefore enclosing pen and pencil sets for these people
and also for the following who we well realize have made such
valuable contributions to our government: Vice President Henry
Wallace, Secretary Claude R. Wickhard, Secretary Henry Morgenthau,
Jr., Secretary Henry L. Stimson, Secretary Jesse L. Jones.
APEN
We are also including one for you, Mr. Early, because we
realize this is probably a great bother to you but we hope
you can have the matter handled without inconvenience to
yourself and we assure you that the membership of this union
appreciate very highly your courtesy.
Very truly yours,

Because The President's com-

Associated Press, it occurs to me that he
might appreciate, as a nove lty if nothing
else, the enclosed "Baby Bible", of which
The Sunday Players of Hollywood have dis-
tributed more than a million to their young
friends in connection with The Sunday Play-
ers Bible Dramas, which have been broadcast
over more than a hundred major stations in
The States, The Dominion, The South Deas,
and Australasia.
For more than a year, in the
announcements we write for Sunday Players
sponsors, we have been stressing the morale-
building power of The Bible. Attached an-
nouncements, quoting Dr. Frederick K. Stamm,
are typical. This particular broadcaster
chances to be the mayor of his town and a
man of great influence in his community and
his profession.
Generally are sponsors are of
the highest ethical character, and in com-
mending The Sunday Players to the president
of Pennsylvania-Edison Power, a year or two
ago, Dr. Daniel Starch, who represents seven-
teen large utility companies, commented that
it was the finest public relations medium for
this industry he had ever seen.

I wonder if it would be ethical
to quote The President, as we have quoted Dr.
Stamm, as per sample announcements. I wonder,
too, if a complete set of our 52 recorded half-
hour Bible Dramas might be acceptable to the
boys in training and in service.

Gentlemen:
While the WASHINGTON FLOUR radio contract with
THE SUNDAY PLAYERS expired December 26, this program
has been so popular with Washington churches that the
client has had the recorded plays booked solidly up to
now and for the next three months to come with religious
groups, civic organizations, and SO forth.
WASHINGTON FLOUR is very enthusiastic about
this program. While it was bought purely as an insti-
tutional proposition, both the president, Mr. Wilkins,
and the vice president, Mr. Rogers, have said that they
have seen a tremendous amount of business from this series.
Naturally, I am personally sold on THE PLAYERS,
as you probably know, and I could shout their praises
from the hilltops all day long. In my experience in
radio, these IMMORTAL STORIES FROM THE BOOK OF BOOKS are
the best transcribed show I have ever had the pleasure of
handling.
Cordially,

The words quoted are those of Dr.

From now through Lent, to Easter,

based chiefly on his familiar Parables. The
last four Sundays of Lent will be devoted to
the four sacred incidents which Christendom
commemorates during Holy Week.
Reverent, sincere, beautifully en-
acted by the ablest national network artists
in Hollywood, and for seven years recognized
the world over as radio's most inspiring pro-
gram, The Sunday Players of Hollywood have a
message and a mission from which your sponsor
believes our community will benefit.
New interest in THE BIBLE and its
teachings new interest in our churches and
the fellowship they so generously extend
new appreciation and cooperation for our 10y-
al devoted ministers new Faith, new confi-
dence, courage and conviction, all those vi-

meets with the approval of those now assembled

Wright and wrong fight to the death through

These prophetic words were written
six years ago in a great national magazine by
Dr. Frederick K. Stamm, noted national radio

STATION ANNOUNCER:
America, in the beginning, was founded upon
the Rock of Faith, and for 140 years no storm
could shake it. Then came the last world-war,
with its aftermath, and for two decades many
Americans sought to build what they thought
might prove a pleasanter, easier place in
which to live, on the shifting sands of tem-
porary expediency. Now, another world war finds
America facing the gravest crisis in its career,
poorly prepared, largely because too many of us
have no sound fobting on that solid ROCK OF FAITH.
Such Immortal Dramas as we have Just
heard point the way back. The Sunday Players use
a modern medium to attract the interest of the
many to whom The Bible has been a closed book;
the greatest source of universal education,
entertainment and enlightenment the World has
ever known, is set to work by The Sunday Players
of Hollywood, "being about our Father's Business."
To the young people of our community in
particular, these gifted young artists of Holly-
wood
young men and women representative of every
faith that has helped to make this Republic great...
bring a message; they speak a common tongue; they
help to make of the fine boys and girls of today
yet finer men and women for tomorrow. Do we need
this help, here in our own community? If the answer
is yes, an appropriate sponsor is prepared to in-
sure, wholly at his own expense, at least thir-
teen weeks of these IMMORTAL DRAMAS FROM THE BOOK
OF BOOKS, through Lent and Easter.

We are about to hear the world-famous Sunday
Players of Hollywood in their reverent drama-
tization of THE CRUCIFIXION. We hear our Saviour
literally take up his cross and tread the weary,
cruel way to Galvary and Golgotha, that the world
might have through time and eternity this sub-
lime example of Faith.
America needs that Faith today as never
before; America needs The Saviour's example, as
never before, for it has been too loath to take
up its Cross. While the Pagan enemy was making
inconceivable sacrifices that they might forever
erase from the World the memory of Jesus and The
American Way of Life, we were unwilling to give
uppry even the least of our leisure, our luxur-
ies and our comforts, that the Message of Jesus
might live, and the American Way of Life endure.
Does our community, even now, need

is lack of Faith that strong, simple sincere
faith of our forefathers at the root of our
lack of MORALE, the difficulty we find in tak-
ing this crisis seriously, the unwillingness of
too many of us, even yet, to make those sacri-
fices through which alone we can win economic
and spiritual salvation? Ponder these questions,

We shall all hear again of this gentle Teacher
of Galilee. In our time of travail, he shall
not forera forsake us, as so many forsook him
in his hour of agony. Even as Pontius Pilate
dreaded the power of this Holy Name, even tho
Jesus, he thought, was dead, so do the modern
Pilates and the Herods fear that Name and the
millions who march to victory In His Name.
But all must know this truth; all
must receive this message; more of us, and es-
pecially our young people, must be brought
within the influence of those Temples of God
where his Ancient Truths are taught,
The world has no finer modern mis-
sionaries with which to achieve this purpose
than the world-famous Sunday Players, whom we
have just heard. Even now, in the Belgian Con-
go, on the West Coast of Australia, 6 in Hawaii,
within sight of Pearl Harbor, The Sunday Players
carry on, dramatizing, visalizing those eternal
truths which shall keep free men free.
Do we need this same help here. Can
we profit, even as do the Kikongas of the Bel-
gian Congo and the Bushmen of Australia, from
an art so superior that it has universal appeal?
The Sunday Players have dramatized 52 inspiring
half-hour plays such as the one we Just heard;
tens of thousands of homes in this community
may have the privilege of hearing all of these
exquisite dramas if, in the opinion of us gather-
ered here, such broadcasts will prove construct-
ive, wholesome and worth-while.

ANNOUNCER
One thousand and nine hundred and forty-two
years ago, the world was given a new franchise
in freedom, when Jesus of Nazareth died upon
a cross on Calvary hill, that mankind might en-
joy a re-birth in liberty.
Today the world is engaged in a titan-
ic struggle to determine whether this franchise
shall be revoked, and humanity shall be thrust
back two thousand years and more into the brutal
despotism of the ancient pagan dictatorships.
This year, more than ever since that
first Easter in Jerusalem, 1, 942 years ago, Eas-
ter has a message for us. It is a message of peace,
of promise, of hope; it is a new declaration of
independence, not alone for our Republic but for
the world.
The local sponsor of the world-famous
Sunday Players of Hollywood is proud of the privi-
lege of bringing to this community the exquisite
re-creation of the first Easter which we are about
to hear. The bruised and torn body of The Savour
rests in the tomb of Joseph of Arimathea, awaiting
the will of God. In the stricken city at large is
fear, unrest, foreboding. But in the study of Jom
seph, the good friend of Jesus, which we now visit
there is Peace, for Joseph is finding vindication
for his Faith in the holy words of the Prophets who
foretold the coming of this Son of Man, to set all
men FREE.

leaders here assembled approve this type of Sab-

all that is asked is approval and moral support
for the plan...an assurance on the part of the
key men and women for whom this private audit-

cause is worthy and entitled to cooperation from
men and women of good will. No expense or obligat-

Dear Mr. Early:
At such a time as this I do not wish to im-
pose on your time with what may appear at first glance to be
trivia. However, we write announcements for around half a
hundred radio programs of an inspirational nature. The Sun-
day Players, Wade Lane's "Home Folks", Miracles of Faith,
"Leisure House", on representative stations throughout The
States, The Dominion, and Australasia, and we're trying to
do our bit by selling Defense Bonds, War Savings Certifi-
cates, Morale, Faith, Confidence, Courage, Patience, all of
which we shall need to Win the War and Win the Peace.
This is my excuse for submitting copy of a
suggested announcement which, with approval from The White
House, we may wish to use for a fine old seed, feed, fuel
and fertilizer concern in San Diego, which is doing its
part for Victory by going all-out in the promotion of Vic-
tory Gardens.
It is not necessary that we quote The Presi-
dent direct, tho it would add to thebeffectiveness of the
announcement and perhaps bring The President's words to
many thousands in this important defense area who may not
have read the AP dispatch.
To relieve you of the necessity of writing,
we shall accept silence on the matter as evidence of disap-
proval, and shall merely refer to that part of the dispatch
Fed The Bible's place in the present emergency which is pub-
lic domain.

WADE LANE:
You know, friends, about the biggest news about
the war that's come out of Washington of late,
and to my way the best, was an Associated Press
dispatch tucked away on the back page of my news-
paper, tellin' about President Roosevelt takin'
time out to write a personal foreword for a mil-
lion pocket Testaments that The Army's goin' to
give to our fightin' men.
You know, our forefathers went to
war, they went into their fields and into the
forests, they crossed the prairies and the moun-
tains and the deserts, with God's good book in
their pockets and in their hearts. It seemed as
necessary to them as their long rifles and their
powder and shot and their ploughs and seed grain
and such.
I know we'll all agree with our Presi-
dent when he says: "Throughout the centuries men
of many faiths and of diverse origins have found in
the sacred book words of wisdom, counsel and inspi-
ration. Our Bible is the foundation of strength,
and now, as always, an aid in attaining the highest
aspirations of the human# soul."
Well, we've got to keep our aspirations
as well as our sights high in THIS war, and I think
we can't start to to O early. If you've got a toddler
or two in your home, just learnin' to think things
out, I've got a nice gift waitin' fer you over at
Fred C. Silverthorn & Sons, Market and Sixteenth.
It's a BABY BIBLE, or child's life of Jesus, about
the size of two postage stamps, but beautifully
bound in white leatherette, stamped with yellow gold.
You ask for your free gift BABY BIBLE, the next time you're over there.

WADE LANE:
You know, folks, speakin' 0' human nature and
sentiment, and such, I bet you never guessed that
I'm a poet. Well, I am... a sort of garden variety
of poet, but my wife, Billy, who's my severest
critic, likes my stuff, and some of my friends
do, too, and they've talked me into makin' up a
liftle gift booklet out of my "pomes" and my
home-spun philosophy, and I've gone ahead and
done it. Yep..."I doo'ed it!"
Helen Mercier, who's a real poet and
gets paid for it, at her home up in the Hollywood
hills, wrote a little foreword for my book, about
a Man whom some called King and others called Mas-
ter, and Yet, she says, "He taught that every man
###### is a Saviour when he learns to be master of
his heart and king of his soul, and thus is armed
with strength with which to save...A man's no-
bility begins first in his own house, in the con-
quest of ### home ly ills and in the peace of simple
joys, and these only "Home Folks" know."
Well, it's sort of a purty little book,
in cheerful colors, with pitchers of me and my dog
and my cat and my gardenin' togs, and if you want
a copy free and fer nothin', you mention it when
you're over at Fred C. Silverthorn & Sons, Market
and Sixteenth. It may while away a homey moment or
two for your home folks. And now, as I was sayin'
Try Some of My Bait
Fishin', I've found, depends a lot on the bait you use. That applies
whether you're fishin' for shiners, orders, prospects, inquiries, listeners,
or jest good will and prestige. Ramblin' 'round this old world for quite
a spell, I've found the bait most people like, and I'm usin' it a-plenty, in
"HOME FOLKS," a right nice radio program I'd admire for to have
you hear. Read about it, won't you, and then drop me a line.
Your Old Neighbor,
Wade Lane
