Buy Defense Bonds And Savings Stamps ON SALE AT YOUR POST OFFICE OR BANK New York.—There is no privacy for Private Citizen James A. Farley. Although he has been out of the national limelight for 8 months, the big fellow has about as much chance for obscurity as a movie idol on Broadway. He’s reveling in his role businessman and enjoying freedom from the pressure terrific years as Democatic national chairman and Postmaster General. He has no regrets, he says, over climbing outside the ropes of the po litical arena, while his family is de lighted to have him once again as a more or less stable member of the household instead of a once-in-awhile visitor between hops about the coun try, at the rate of 60,000 miles a year. But, nevertheless, Jim Farley still belongs to the people, and his office would look like a convention hall to day if all those trying to see him were permitted past a cute blonde re ception girl and his efficient secretary. They shield him from a horde of callers—job hunters, fellows who met “Good Old Jim” at a poltical rally back in Podunk Center, publicity seek ers, panhandlers and scores of others who have no legitimate reason for a call. Even then he receives dozens of callers — businessmen, politicians, prize fighters, baseball players, and just plain folks. He carries on a tre mendous personal correspondence with his political friends in every State in the Union who continue to keep him advised on the national situation. He couldn’t entirely shake loose from his political bonds if he want ed to, because of the close personal ties he formed throughout the years as ringmaster of the Democratic po litical circus. But those years in Washington— beating the Roosevelt drum, keeping a finger on the Nation’s voting pulse, ironing out intraparty strife, and fly ing across the continent just to make a speech at a post-office dedication— gave him a financial beating. Now he’s trying to recoup his loss es. • Those with an appointment to see Farley these days are told by the blond receptionist to have a seat, please and Mr. Farley will see you in a few minutes. Then a door opens and there is pri vate citizen Farley with his hand out stretched and a broad smile on his face as though an old friend had dropped in for a chat, when perhaps he never saw the visitor before. He looks as fit as a figfhter in train ing, and if the years in Washington maelstrom left any mark on his hon est Irish face, there isn’t a trace of it Only his surroundings seem strange. He moves a great deal in the plush-carpet quiet of h'is big busi ness as president of the Coca-Cola Export Corporation and president of the Coca-Cola Bottling Co. of Boston. Soft-voiced aides move in and out of his office. Muffled typewriters barely can be heard and buzzers buzz discreetly in the distance. That’s the picture of genial Jim Farley that his multitude of friends in every congressional district in the Nation hasn’t seen. They know Jim Farley as the center of milling, sweat ing, loud-voiced meetings of politi cians in hotel rooms blue with cigar smoke, where poltical campaigns were mapped and elections won. It probably is inconceivable to them that he has no political ambitions and is happy in his new businessman role, but that’s what he says. “I have no pfons to return to poli tics,” Farley said in an interview. “I have no poltical ambitions. I’m more concerned now with the well-being of our country and the hope that we come through withiut getting involv ed in this war. “And, too, I can’t afford political ambitiojis.” . There’s talk, of course, that Farley be drafted to run as mayor of the city of New York or as Governor of the State. Many believe he could be elect ed to either position if he took off his coat and went to work for one of them. Farley isn’t interested in either the power or the glory, his friends say, the entire last 8 months than I was during the entire 8 years in Washing ton.” There’s the same round of confer ences, meetings, rallies, speeches—ex cept they aren't political. It’s no secret that Farley’s ambi tion at present is to get control of the New York Yankee baseball chain. He heads a syndicate which still is dickering for the American League property with executors of the estate of Col. Jacob Ruppert. Farley always has been a Yankee fan and a baseball addict ever since he played first base as a youth on the village team as Grassy Point, where he was bom May 30, 1880, the son of a brick manufacturer. Sports have been his hobby and from 1925 to 1939 he was New York boxing commissioner. He still can be found at a ringside or at the Yankee ball park whenever he can find the time. His greatest baseball hero was Babe Ruth, and there’s a possibility if he can get control of the Yankees, he will try to bring the Bambino back to •the game. The team' of Farley and Ruth would be a potent combination in the national pastime. Whether jt’s business, politics, civ ic work, sports or the general run-of- mine office work, Farley still packs more activity into one day than al most any other individual on Man hattan Island. “The days would have to be 60 hours long for the boas to meet all the demands on his time,” a secretary remarked. That’s what “political retirement” means to private citizen Farley, Choke Fruits Peaches, Grapes, Figs and Boiled Peanuts Tomatoes, Watermelons, and Cantaloupes Located on cut-off opposite Lonnie’s Pure-OH Station Drive out Fridays, Saturdays, or Sundays and get fresh fruits, picked directly from my orchard in Leesville.

There’s a possibility Farley could be lured back into the national poli tical ring by the assurance of nomi nation as President or Vice President. But he declines to discuss these speculations, just as he avoids any talk of his rift with President Roose velt over the third-term nomination at Chicago last year. His political ac tivity is confined to his work as chair man of the New York State Demo cratic Committee. Despite this “retirement”, Farley can t step outside his office that he isn’t stopped by a mail carrier or an old friend for a chat. There’s a con stant demand for his services in civic work—which he gives generously. At present he’s chairman of the greater New York fund campaign to raise money for charity. “Actually, I don’t think the return to private life has meant much change for me.” he laughs, “except I get to be with my family more of ten.
