EXIT JOE KENNEDY

Intimates of Ambassador Joe Ken
nedy are offering bets that he will
not return to the Court of St.
James's. While publicly Joe has ex-
pressed his willingness to go back,
the inside fact is that Kennedy tried
to resign at his last conference with
the President. Roosevelt refused to
consider it.
Several very tempting business Of
fers have been made to him. He
has made no final decision, but re-
turning to London definitely seems
the last thing he intends to do.
