re: #338 Bear

I believe that the media of those days made great effort to not show FDR in a wheel chair.

And FDR and his staff took steps to avoid it. He was capable (at least in the 1930’s) of standing and walking a few steps on his own since that was specifically done at one of the party conventions at that time.

Beyond that it was mainly controlling access and having FDR already seated at a desk when the visitors arrived.
