The W ashingt ton
Merry Go Round
By DREW PEARSON
CIT. Col Robert s. Allen now on active
service with the Army)

WASHIN GTON = Frenchmen
who talked privately with staid,
straight General de Gaulle after
his talks with Roosevelt got the
impression that the difficulties be-
tween them were partially patch
ed up.
De Gaulle warmed up consider
ably toward the man who has kept
him from being the official Presi-
dent of France. FDR appeared to
warm up but still has his fingers
crossed. The President is not al
ways a yielding man when he gets
"the old Dutch up"
One of the little known facts &C
counting for the frigid relationship
between the two had to do with
certain smear stories about de
Gaulle which he heard were coming
from the White House. He blamed
them largely on Admiral Leahy,
Roosevelt's personal chief OF staff,
who served as U. S. Ambassador to
Vichy France. Stories about de
Gaulles arrogance, about his re-
fusal to aid in the invasion, and
other yarns designed to hamper
recognition were credited by de
Gaulle to Admiral Leahy.
He was also suspicious OF ex-
Ambassador Bill Bullitt; also OF
Assistant Secretary of State Adolf
Berle, reputed to be a member OF
the anti-de Gaulle cabal Finally
de Gaulle heard that Congressional
Librarian Archibald MacLeish had
given Library of Congress jobs to
Alexis Leger and other French ex-
lies and that they were feeding I'M
favorable information throug h
MacLeish to the White House.
However, inside fact is that none
of the above was nearly as respon-
sible for the Presidents attitude
as was de Gaulle himself when he
refused to let FDR serve as peace
maker between him and General
Giraud at Casablanca. The Presi-
dent prides himself on his ability
to win friends and influence peo-
pie. But at Casablanca, de Gaulle
fatty refused to be influenced. AL
of the famous Rooseveltian charm
failed to bulge him.
NOTE De Gaulle's friends say
he believes in principles rather thar
in people, and that he stood fol
the principles of a new France
while General Giraud stood for the
old France. Now Giraud is out, de
Gaulle is in.

(By Associated Press

The atlantic" radio, supposedly
operating inside Germany, declared
"a revolution is near and may bust
out in force in Germany and that
part of the eastern army is DESERVING
and returning from the front"
An Allied propaganda, lombard
ing the Reich with broadcasts, is
urging the Germans to deal death
blow to the Hitler regime.
New bits of information said that
man, fatally injured in Hitler's
circle, was a press photographer.
The German radio instructed the
German army newspapers to issue a
special Hitler edition stressing "un-
shakeable faithfulness in all men to-
ward Hitler"
United States monitors heard a
broadcast order for picture layout
to include photographs OF Hitler,
Himmler and the newly appointed
Chief of Staff, General Heinz Gud-
erian.
British Foreign Minister Anthony
Eden was besieged with questions on
the German situation when the
House of Commons convened, but
replied that he had no information
beyond that in the possession OF all
members.

FDR MAKES
SPEECH TO
CONVENTION
Accepts Fourth Term Nom
ination from Pacific
Naval Base

/ CHICAGO, July 21.-From Pa
cific Coast naval base, President
Roosevelt last night accepted a
fourth term nomination, telling the
wartime Democratic National Con-
vention delegates that Americans
can take a look at the record and
then determine whether they want
to entrust worldwide job to lin
experienced and immature hands
The familiar voice came by radio
to the vast stadium where dele
gates were embroiled in a stirring
scrap over the selection of a run
ming mate for Roosevelt.
Roosevelt received l.086 out of
l1,176 votes, with Senator Harry
Byrd of Virginia receiving SO and
one being cast for Roosevelt's es-
tranged one-time political ally
James A. Farley.
! A complete victory in the next
four years seems likely, the Presi-
dent said in his address, indicating
that if elected again this fall he
would not seek a fifth term but
would retire to private life.
Outlines Program
! He added "at any event, new
hands would then have a full OPP
portunity to realize the ideals we
seek"
Apparently epitomizing his own
personal platform in the battle to
keep Gov. Thomas E. Dewey of
New York out of the White House,
Roosevelt outlined a three-point
world wide program for 1914.
l. ITO win the war and win it
as fast as it can be won, and as
overpoweringly"
2. ITO form worldwide in
ternational organization to arrange
for the use of armed forces by
sovereign nations of the world and
to make another world war i'm
possible within the foreseeable fu-
ture."
3. ITO build an economy for re-
turning veterans and all Americans
which will provide employment and
decent standards of living"
COP Vote Bid
! He implied in his address bid
for the Republicans to string along
with the Democrats in the No
vember election, saying that in the
last three elections the American
people Transcribed party affilia-
+ tions."
Promising not to campaign in the
usual sense, but reserying the right
to correct any Misrepresentation,
he said he was at a Pacific Coast
naval station in the performance
of his duties under the Constitu-
ton.
War waits for no elections" he
said, decisions must be made, plans
laid and strategy carried out. They
do not concern merely a party
group but affect the daily lives OF
Americans for generations to come

Protocol Gets Kicked
About Just 10 Please
Gen. Charles DeGauIIe
BY JACK STINNETT

WASHINGTON, July 21.--Insofar
as the State Department is con-
cerned, protocol is "the rules pre-
scribing etiquette in ceremonies OF
state" or in social functions attended
by Representatives of other countries
to this nation
It's important, too; so important
that the department has a division
of experts, headed by Stanley Wood
ward, whose responsibility it is to
figure out everything from who gets
the first glass of grape punch to
how many guns are fired for visit
ing dignitaries.
This may seem silly to q lot of
folks who think international rela-
tions would move forward faster II
negotiators would take off their
coats, slip down their galluses and
forget about how far from the head
of the table they we're seated.
However, protocol has it's uses,
and some of them are vital, indeed,
in the relations of one country with
another. No better example exists
than in the visit here of Gen.
Charles de Gaulle.
Officially Gen de Gaulle is just
another Free Frenchman as far as
the United States is concerned. His
National Committee of Liberation
had not been recognized as even the
interim government OF liberated
France. He couldn't possibly be
recognized as head of state.
But in the case of Gen. de Gaulle,
the State Department virtually
threw the protocol book out the
window.
The II guns that saluted him on
arrival were four short OF the Fl
fired for the head of state, but
that was about the only instance in
which de Gaulle did not get full
honors
Immediately after his arrival, the
general was welcomed by the Presi-
dent. He stayed at comfortable
Blair House, the historic mansion
which is now the official boarding
house for kings, quens, presidents
and prime ministers who come to
call.
The State Department tossed him
banquet. The War Department
assisted in a measure by the Navy
gave him another sumptuous dinner
In addition to his talks with de
Gaulle. the President, himself, plan
ned a luncheon.
