Bob Involved In-volved Too; Fear Liberal Split While Tories Unite; Phil To Run For Governor; Move Hurts Chances For Civil Liberties Probe; Lobby Lob-by Fighting.lt. WASHINGTON Callers who have talked to the President during dur-ing the past two weeks note a much more sure-footed and less careworn Roosevelt. Thus change dates from the fireside chat and the message to congress outlining the recovery program. Prior to that, there was no question that the president was worried and edgy. The old Roosevelt Roose-velt smile was still there, and his press conferences about the same as ever, but underneath there was a definite tenseness. Those who have sat down to chat with him privately during the last two weeks, however, say that this tenseness has entirely disappeared and that the president presi-dent gives every impression of being completely in the driver's seat. Undoubtedly one reason for this is the report which Roosevelt is getting from most parts of the country that the political tide is running with him again. THIRD PARTY governor Phil LaFollette's bel-ligVrent bel-ligVrent calling of a national Progressive Pro-gressive conference was no surprise sur-prise to the New Deal inner council coun-cil - but that didn't make it any more palatable.

Among the 32 frosh thespians to take roles in "Stage Door." which plays again tonight in College Col-lege hall at 8:15 p. m., there are those who have that quality to not just "act" but "live" a part.

It is to t3 hoped, however, that their fine work will not be counterbalanced counter-balanced again tonight by the meaningless selection of musical numbers played between acts.
