Clinton to help commemorate 50th anniversary of FDR's death
The Associated Press
WASHINGTON — It was the place where Franklin Roosevelt found solace from Washington and hope that exercising in the warm mineral waters would someday allow him to walk again.
The white clapboard cottage in western Georgia's red clay hills was also the place of his death April 12, 1945. Ever since his death shocked a war-weary nation, Roosevelt has been a great figure in America's memory. Both President Clinton and House Speaker Newt Gingrich, his political nemesis, have used Roosevelt as a model.
Today, the 50th anniversary of Roosevelt's death, Clinton will pay tribute to him at the "Little White House" in Warm Springs.
In 1821, Roosevelt was a vibrant politician when he was crippled by polio at age 39. He would try anything to regain the ability to walk.
A friend and co-owner of the dilapidated resort hotel at Warm Springs told Roosevelt that the local waters had helped cure a young man paralyzed by polio from the waist down. Roosevelt rushed to Georgia.
From that moment, Warm Springs would become his retreat from the pressures of office — and from his wife, who served him as a wise counselor but sometimes as his conscience.
He'd visit every spring and fall if he could, swimming, soaking up sun,
working on his stamp collection.
Eleanor Roosevelt could not abide Warm Springs. She was saddened by the surrounding poverty and appalled by the open prejudice against Blacks. She left in a few days and returned rarely.
But her husband found warmth in the mineral-laden, 88-degree water. He could swim, kick his legs and build his muscles. He could feel life in his toes again.
The countryside took to Roosevelt and he, the squire of Hyde Park, N.Y., took to the countryside.
As a former secretary of the Navy and vice-presidential candidate in 1920, he brought celebrity. The local sharecroppers, black and white, sent flowers or wood for the fireplace or chickens. On his drives, Roosevelt would stop and chat. He took interest in their livestock and crops, and learned much about the economic problems of the rural South.
Roosevelt's presence drew other polio victims, and soon "Doctor" Roosevelt was the cheerful leader of water polo games. He preached hope to his fellow victims as he would later preach to a Depression-stricken nation.
"Keep yourselves mentally alert," he would lecture. "Don't lose contact with the things you enjoyed before infantile paralysis."
Two years later, Roosevelt bought the place for $195,000 — two thirds of his fortune — and turned it into a
therapeutic center. He built a cottage for himself.
He spent his last hours in the presence of three women who meant much to him: His secretary and dining companion, Grace Tully; his unmarried sixth cousin and close friend, Margaret Suckley; and his intimate companion, Lucy Mercer Rutherford.
Years earlier, Eleanor had discovered love letters from Lucy Mercer, her social secretary, to Franklin and had confronted him with a choice — either a divorce or a semblance of a marriage for the children's sake. Roosevelt chose the latter, knowing a split would end his career. Lucy married Winthrop Rutherfurd and vanished from his life.
in the 1940s, after Lucy became a widow, the friendship resumed. While Roosevelt was relaxing at Warm Springs in 1945, she motored over from South Carolina.
She brought along a friend, the painter Elizabeth Shoumatoff, who was painting a watercolor portrait of the president when he suffered the cerebral hemorrhage that ended his life.
Rutherfurd and Shoumataoff feed. But Eleanor Roosevelt learned that Rutherfurd had been there when Roosevelt died. Most family and staff knew of the resumed relationship. But Eleanor Roosevelt apparently had suspected nothing, and the news came as an embittering shock.
