BULLITT REBUFFED BY FDR

y Several weeks before the recent
Philadelphia election, eX-Ambassa-
dor Bill Bullitt came down to see
his old friend the President to pave
the way for a place for himself in
the Roosevelt Administration in
case of defeat Apparently he had
a premonition that his race to be-
come Mayor of Philadelphia was
going to fail.
Bullitt has known the President
for many years, has received nu-
merous high honors from him as
Ambassador to Russia and Ambas-
sador to France But in recent
months that friendship has dulled
due to the campaign Bullitt waged
against x-Undersecretary of State
Sumner Welles. Bullitt has beer
suspected of seeking Welles' job
and eventually stepping up into
Hulps shoes as Secretary of State.
The story is that, when Built,
sounded out the President abouI
coming back TO Washington, FDF
is said to have replied in words Il
