Harry Hopkins Not Interested
In Foreign Diplomatic Post
WASHINGTON, Dec. 16-P)-Harry L. Hopkins wants to stay
THe mystery man of the White House feels he is handling war
assignments of surpassing importance as chairman of the Anglo
American munitions assignment board and special assistant to
President Roosevelt.
He doesn't want' to become a
diplomat,: therefore, even though
it would insulate him against
some of the criticism which has
been his lot He doubts his boss
will give him a chance, anyway.
Yet there has been considerable
talk about prospects of Hopkins'
going to London, either as ambas
sador or as a personal representa
tive of the president Some of the
talk has centered among persons
who had an idea that so many
brickbats were hUrtling his way
that he might like! to duck out to
Europe, v-
Among the latest heaved in his
direction; 7
Stories that :he alone of all
White House officials could reach
the president by telephone.
Statements by Senator Chand
ler (JR-Ky) that Hopkins was the
man to ask for inside information
on six new nominations fori top
state department Jobs. Chandler
called them "Hopkins nomina
tions." :
But friends of the slender pres
idential helper have been told that
criticism doesn't bother him much
any more he's used to -it; he's
willing to take it as long as he
thinks he can be useful to the
president U
Hopkins will concede that con
gress would rise and cbeer en
masse should he quit tomorrow
though, associates say he believes
he could convince most legislators
he is not a sinister influence on
government
But he has no more intention of
telling them how he operates, who
he sees, what he does, than of de
scribing his activities on bill
boards.
