"What did you think of win

For the moment. It overshad-
owi the other TREMENDOUS
question that is in the back of
every mind in these unquestion
ably fateful days: "What is the
latest from Europe?"
"THIS writer liked Wlllkle's

In today's world, leadership Is

this thought: "Here Is a leader I
can FOLLOW WITH CONFI
DENCE." That is a comforting thought
and in times such as these a
little mental comfort is as heart
ening as water and food in the
desert.
THIS writer, of course, expect
ed to like Willkie's speech.
Long before the Republican
convention, Wendell Willkie be
gan to loom up in the minds of
a lot of us who had tried in the
beginning to BELIEVE IN
ROOSEVELT (but had found the
task an impossible one) as a man
of destiny.
Emphatically, he was not a
STUFFED SHIRT. He seemed
to be an independent thinker.
Obviously he had courage. His
face appeared to be turned to
ward the future. The only use
he had for the past was to draw
useful lessons from its mistakes.
His mind seemed capable of for
getting the good old days and
looking forward to better days
than ever to be achieved on the
basis of WHAT IS NOW rather
than on' the basis of WHAT HAS
BEEN.
He loqked good, and from the
moment of his nomination this
writer has expected to vote for

Indiana, when he opened the
doors of his mind and his heart
and showed the people of
America what was therein. Will
kie has BEEN A SYMBOL. His
personality has been a PRO
JECTED one projected to us
through the medium of the print
ed word, the camera, the radio.
There has been always the dis
turbing thought for those who
wanted to believe in him and to
support him that perhaps this
projected personality might not
actually portray his REAL SELF
that possibly our thinking
about him had been wishful
thinking.
For this writer, his speech of
acceptance, with its plain and
convincing note of sincerity, is
as heartening and reassuring as
the sight Qf camp to a hunter
who is hopeful that camp lies in
the direction he is following, but
can't be absolutely sure until he
sees the light of the fire.
THE
CAPITAL
PARADE
By JOSEPH ALSOP and
ROBERT KINTNER
(Continued from Pag On,) -
and Minister of the Interior
George Mandel. Reynaud and
Mandel actually pleaded with
Bullitt to stay on, telling him
that there was no French official
capable of taking charge, that
the interregnum between the
government's departure and the
German occupation would be a
period of grave danger, and that
he must therefore take over,
Bullitt agreed to do so, but
only on condition that Mandel
order the Paris police and fire
men, who had been expected to
follow the government, to re
main behind. When the govern
ment left, Bullitt was In charge,
with unofficial powers over the
whole city he loves so well.
as
PVEN with the police and fire
men at his orders, however,
Bullitt did not have an easy
problem on his hands. During
the Interregnum in Paris, the
French communists broke away
from control of their Nazi allies.
There were estimated to be sev
eral hundred thousand of them
in the working class suburbs,
and their secret radio station,
whose calls were picked up by
the Paris police, was broadcast
ing messages urging an immedi
ate uprising. There was no way
to deal with the communists, ex
cept to maintain a careful police
watch for signs of trouble, and
to wait until the interregnum
ended.

mans. When he acceded to the
request of Reynaud and Mandel,
Bullitt had supposed that he
would be able to communicate
with the German high command
by radio. But Just before leav
ing, the French general staff
had ordered the destruction of
all the radio broadcasting facili
ties in the citv. The secret facili
ties of the fifth column, of
course, were not avanaoie to
Bullitt.
For a erood manv hours, while
members of his staff toured the
forsaken city on watch duty,
Bullitt remained at the embassy
trying frantically to establish
some kind of telephonic 'contact
with the outside world. The
need was desperate, for if the
Germans could not be warned
how to enter the city peaceably,
the most disastrous conse
quences might ensue. Then hap
pened one of those ridiculous
but fortunate accidents which
do, sometimes, rescue situations,
even situations of great gravity
and importance.
s
IT was Impossible to get thru
to the outside world from
Paris. But it was not impossible
to get through to Paris from the
outside world, as Bullitt sudden
ly learned when a call came
through from Minister to Switz
erland Leland Harrison in
Berne. Harrison was calling
about a trivial passport matter,
of all things. Bullitt seized the
telephone, and dictated to him
a message to the German high
command, describing the ar
rangements made for receiving
the German armies, urging that
the occupation take place in the
least disruptive way possible,
and politely warning that almost
the entire American embassy
staff was still in the city to act
as the eyes and ears of the out
side world.
Bullitt's simple plan was to
notify all members of the Paris
police at the city gates to be on
the look-out for advance detach
ments of German troops, and to
order the police to report the
Germans' arrival immediately.
He suggested that if the first
German detachment to arrive
would simply collar the first
policeman they saw, contact
could be established and details
of the occupation program set
tled forthwith.
(This is the first of two col
umns by Messrs. Alsop and
Kintner on the activities of Am
bassador Bullitt at the time of

Our Land Our Flag
By Fred Alton Height
In your land, in my land.
From ocean on to ocean
Forever and ever
May freedom's banner wave.
While eastward and westward
The storms of wrath ara raging
The cry of the eagle
Is calling to the brave.
Your land and my land,
"Sweet land of liberty,"
We pray, God save America,
The homeland of the free.
2.
It's your flag, it's my flag,
Of liberty and Justice;
Protect it from danger
On land and on the sea.
The flag of our fathers.
The flag of peace and honor;
We'll guard it and keep it
The emblem of the free.
Red stripes and white stripes
True blue with stars that shine;
We pledge allegiance to our flag
To keep it yours and mine.

Pop and Mom lived all alone;
Alone in Biddle Lane.
Out across the rolling hills.
Out toward the setting sun.
Out where it's peace and calm
and quiet.
Just out in Oregon.
Pop loved the velvet pastures.
And the smell of new mown hay.
Mom said it was a lonely place
Since Marty went away.
Many years ago it was
Since Marty sailed for France;
To save America, he said,
"It was our only chance." .
The larks still sing at break of
day;
The doves still coo at noon,
But Marty left it jeems so now
A generation soon.
Now Marty sleeps across the tea;
It worries Mom at night.
She fears perhaps that marching
feet
Would give her son a fright.
It's calm tonight In Biddle Lane.
Starlight on the mountains, too;
And Marty's soul comes winging
home.
Across the rolling ocean foam.
To keep Mom's heart from too
much pain,
And our America,
Dear God, SANE.

To a Water Drop
Sparkling Brook, thru Meadow
green,
Gurgling happily.
Splashing over boulder bare,
Winding thru the lea
Water drops which splash anal
spray
Travel endlessly
Blend Into a river which
Rushes, to the Sea
Water droplets, diamonds rare.
Flashing in the Sun
Do you know the channels and
the
Courses you must run?
Or do you trust in One above
Who guides you from on High?
Tho course be rough you'll be
at last
A Rainbow in the SkyI
