ROOSEVELT'S LIST
Continued from page Jfse

think that Great Britain can hold out"
Thereupon l answered that unhappily
for US believed he was right about France
but that was unable to share his opinion
about Great Britain That is what Bill
Bullitt says you're going to tell me about"
he said. Tell me what you have in mind"
Immediately started on my long tale,
which later condensed in memorandum
l wrote for the President, at the White
House, during the nights of June l6 and II.
AS went on with my story it became more
and more obvious that the President was
beginning to agree with my reasoning and
this in turn made me more confident.
Finally, the President said, Rene, do
you know you have convinced me-" and
after moments reflection he added II
am going to ask you to undertake big job,
and that is to convince this country"
To this replied: This job seems practi-
cally impossible, as there are 100000
Americans and they all seem to have decid-
ed in the past few days that Germany has
won the war"
The President smiled and said: What l
am going to ask you to do is not 50 diff
cult as what you have just DONE" He then
sent for the ships Captain and told him he
wished to get back to Washington the next
day instead of Sunday.
Txumaa's Not Listed
HEN he explained to Hopkins and Miss
lie Hand that he wanted list of the most
influential people in the United States
Congressman, industrialists, labor lead
ers, publishers, etc. He himself started it by
reaching for one of the ships cable blanks.
Rapidly, he wrote the q names that leaped
first into his mind
Editors note: The list reproduced
on page four is exactly as FDR wrote it.
He misspelled General knudsen's name
with a ''t'' instead of sd" He
checked the names he wanted either
Miss LIE Hand or Harry Hopkins to con-
tact. Hopkins wrote the 'Joe'' after
Patterson to indicate that it was the
publisher, not the government official.
It's ironic that the name of Harry
Truman, then a Senator, does not
appear. The list contains four Cabinet
members, three other high government
officials, one Supreme Court Justice,
seven members of Congress, two labor
leaders, one publisher, two business
men, one mayor, FDR's military aide
PA" Watson, and one woman
@'Mrs. F.D.R.'O
Later that evening and early next morn
ing, the list was expanded The President
asked me if l was ready to hold out for three
days and nights. He asked me to see these
persons one by one.
Evening star., 1948-06-20

Harry Hopkins and Miss lie Hand will
organize the meetings for you," he added,
"and want you to tell each person exactly
what you have just told me, no more, no
less"
He then told me why it was essential that
this job be accomplished at the earliest
possible moment because there were at that
time, in the port of New York, 45O fighter
planes, 100000 rifles, several thousand
antiaircraft and antitank guns which had
previously been ordered by France and Great
Britain.
Isolationiszn Was Spseading
BUT the German victory on French soil
had caused wave of pessimism and isola-
tionism throughout the United States and
the Government had decided to retain in the
country this war material, which constituted
about all the available supply. 1t was
thought in official circles that this ma
terial would not reach Great Britain in
time to help, and that America might
find herself wholly disarmed follow
ing a German invasion of the British
Isles.
Said the President: Il want you to con-
vince the political leaders and the Cabinet
members that this war material must be
sent at once to Great Britain without any
delay
We reached Washington at about four
O'Clock on Saturday afternoon, and went
straight to work.
At the Mayfower Hotel and at the White
House, day and night, held interviews
with 81 persons and told each one the same
facts l had told the President. Every hour
and every meal was disposed of by Miss
LIE Hand and Harry Hopkins On Monday
the seventeenth, was invited to luncheon
by the Foreign Relations Committee of the
U. S. Senate. also spoke individually to
each member of the Cabinet which was to
meet the next day.
Con6dantial Rspoxt
DURINC the same evening prepared for
the President strictly confidential report
of which only two originals were typed at
the White House. have kept one, which
bears President Roosevelt's pencil marks.
He made only one correction: where had
written Ito prevent Germany from domi-
mating the world" the President scratched
out the word Germany and wrote THE
Nazis''
This report was read to the members of
the Cabinet and it was decided by the
United States Government that all avail
able war material would be sent to Great
Britain.

Members of Washington's legal
fraternity got together at the May
flower Hotel last night to kid each
other ut the 77th annual dinner Of
the District Bar Association.
Skits and songs which lampooned
everything from the Supreme Court
down drew laughs from the 1900
members and their guests. who in
cluded Chief Justice Vinson.
The legal tribulations of pedes-
trian struck by q bus in front OF
Union Station provided the inspira-
ton for the play, written by Attor-
ney Edgar J. Goodrich, with lyrics
and music by Warren w. Grimes.
It was all in fun, presented with
what Stage Manager John A. Dana
her described as "a certain note OF
informality' by cast made up en-
tirely of members of the association
In addition to the Chief Justice

Supreme Court Justices Rutledge,
