young theological students reiter
ated today their refusal to regis

sentenced to serve a year and a
day in federal prison. .
.Courtroom attaenes earn ma
scene was -one of the most solemn

quest that he accept the London
assignment but was disinclined to
do so for the same reason that he
submitted kis resignation aa am
bassador to France.
BulUtt, in a brief statement,
said he did this because he "felt
that I could be of mere service to
my country If I were free to write
and speek without the restrictions
imposed by official position."
No official Information was
available on whether Kennedy
had submitted his resignation but
it waa believed that he hadlmade
known to the president hie desire
to be relieved. After talking with
President Roosevelt and state de
partment officials upon his recent
return from London, Kennedy
said he had no plana about going
back.
Bullitt said he had expressed
orally to the president several
times his desire to resign and en
gage in speaking and writing. On
November 7 two days after the
election he said he tendered his
resignation in writing.
"The president again, as pre
viously, expressed his wish that I
should not resign, and there for
the present the matter rests," Bul
litt said.
Bullitt, first ambasaador to so
viet Russia after the United States
resumed diplomatic" relatione with
that country in 1933, and ambas
sador In France during the crit
ical pre-war years and until after
the French defeat, was understood
to have planned an lntenalve
speaking and writing campaign In
behalf of national preparedness. --
He wss said to have told Pres

he could contribute more to the
country as a private citizen doing
