HULL, TURNING Ct,
CHEERED BY FEAT
Secretary and Aides Laid
Plans for Peace Pleas

BY the Associated Press
Secretary of State Hull, cheered by
Frightening prospects of world peace,
for which he long has worked, be-
comes 81 years old tomorrow.
The white-haired Tennesseean who
presides over the foreign affairs of
the United States was in good health
today despite the trials of a crucial
month that might have sapped the
strength Of younger man.
And officials predicted that to-
morrow he would celebrate his birth
day by spending a few hours in his
offlce looking over cables on Europe's
latest antics.
He Is reaching 81 greatly pleased
not only by the apparently success
full solution OF the CZechoslovak crisis
but also by the unified support his
handling OF Americas part IN the
aHalr received by the State Depart
ment, some officials revealed today.
On some momentouS questions in the
past, officials in the department have
split over what was to be done. But
IN the present crisis, the policy adopt
ed had their full support.
Silent Until Right Moment.
Following Mr.. Hull's radio speech
OF August Is, setting forth a seven
point program for securing world
peace, the department agreed to main
tain a perfect silence throughout the
troubled days until exactly the right
moment came TO speak The Secre-
tary and his assistants watched care
lully to determine the moment.
Suddenly, last Sunday, with Premier
Daladier in London to see Prime
Minister Chamberlain, and with
Reichsfuehrer Hitler preparing an
important radio address for the next
day, officials decided the moment had
arrived, and they agreed the message
OF the American Government should
be sent by President Roosevelt per-
Sonally.
Thus. the first appeal for peace
went out. Then, when Hitler's reply
arrived, President Roosevelt and
Secretary Hull seized on it as an
opportunity for a further appeal ad-
dressed solely to him.
After that came the decision to be-
speak the good Offices of Premier
Mussollnl and at the same time to
send kilograms to nearly so nations.
asking them also to appeal to the
European leaders for peace.
At Office Late.
When news came of Hitler's convo-
cation OF four-power conference Mr..
Hull and his colleagues drew an i'm
mense sigh of relief.
Throughout all this time Mr.. Hull
mad been in communication. by tele-
phone or personally, with the Presi-
dent, one, two, three or four times a
day. On several days his total time
with the President exceeded four hours.
He was at his office until late in
the evening and his nights sometimes
were disturbed by messages from
abroad. Tens Of thousands of words
OF cables, official and unofficial, passed
daily before his eyes.
Only once or twice during the crisis
did the Secretary permit himself the
luxury OF his only sport-croquet.

Parliament exclaimed, ito 60 tiger

other, for better or for worse. After
