 BY HENRY McLEMORE United Press Stan COrrespOndeDD
 New York, April 20 - (U.P) - Henry Ellsworth Vines may be the champion to the rest of the world, but France still regards M. Henri Cochet as the tennis player par ex- cellencc, according to Pierre Lan- dry, onetime French Davis-cupper, in this country on business.
 Landry, through with active ten his campaigning, is an expert on art and is here to buy, and perhaps sell, paintings for the museum he represents While customs officials rummagcd through his luggage he talked tennis, in perfect English.
 There's no telling what team France will use to defend the cup this year. The general opinion is that 1t will be the same old lineup with COchet and Borotra in singles and Cochet and Brugnon in doubles. But I don't think 50. This time I believe Borotra means 1t when he says he is through with singles play. If he does hold to his promise I expect Christian Bous- sus will be the No 2 singles man with Borotra and Brugnon, the amazing one, forming the doubles team"
 Landry was asked if he thought such q lineup capable of turning back the United States in the chal- lenge round. And his answer was the tip-off on how serious France regards those two victories Vines scored over Cochet last year.
 Most certainly I do. It would be close, but having Cochet gives France an edge. He is In marvellous condition and you know how he plays when the cup is at stake. Borotra and Brugnon would be very formidable in doubles. Toto is q marvellous doubles player and Borotra, veteran that he is, capable of q tremendously fast pace in doubles"
 We expressed the opinion that Marcel Bernard, of the plump face and sleek black hair, was q more capable man than the left-handed and cratic Boussus.
 Maybe so, but Marcel Is not In the best of health this year. and will be unable to put in the prac- tltc tIldL IS LO DIlIt al tcu- his player to the peak. And Bous- sus has been playing the best game he has ever shown of late. The southDaw, as I believe you call left handlers, may furnish q sur prise"
 Was he sorry to hear of pr Dan iel Prenn's dismissal from the Ger man cup team by the NaZis?
 ''Vcry. Prem was one of the fin est players in the world and made tho German challenge a strong one. His absence will make things much easier for the English and American forces"
 Landry's observation echoed opinion already expressed in this country, for many followers of ten his, including the writer. believe that Prenn's dismissal assured the United States of place in the challenge round.
