ALLEN WASHINGTON Confidential reports cabled back to the State Department show that the French people have become bitter not only toward Great Britain but against the United States.

Sentiment has been so vitriolic that it was the subject of a conversation held by Ambassador Tony Biddle, who substituted for Bullitt in Bordeaux. Sumner Welles also mentioned it a little sadly to the French Ambassador in This is the first of a series of articles describing the miraculous rise to fame of Wendell Leu is Willkie, uho has been elected the Republican presidential candidate. The various chapters tell of his childhood, his college years, his experiences as a young lawyer, gradual rise to the head of a 7 5 -million-dollar corporation and finally his lightning-like drive for the nomination. as a Boy- HAWKINS has been waiting for, and a in a ramshackle green frame place than they ever had been in- scribed before, he climbed one night to the top of the town gas tank and commenced his chi- rography. But his feet slipped and when held up only by his suspenders.

Had one popped, well, who can tell? Parents Were Lawyers Wendell WiUkie's grandfather and grandmother came to America from CJermany after the revolution against autocracy Ui 1848. His grandfather spelled the name "Will-tke" and taught him his almost lanatical love of democracy. His father and mother were lawyers, his mother having been the first woman ever admitted to the bar of Indiana. They firmly determined to clean up Elwood, which By GEORGE A tangler is what America W. tangler is what she's got.

Wendell Willkie has been tangling with men and ideas and the clutch of circumstance almost since he was born 48 years ago house in Elwood, Ind. For years business has sought a champion who could go into the ring with the New Deal- and spar on equal terms. The cham- fion has arrived on the brink of destiny as the Republican Presi- hhi i riential nominee, and he won need to go into training for the cam-l paign and he won't have to step11 ws rescued, friends found him up his Vace because he is alwavs dangling high above tiie ground I in trainirtg and he always has been operating at top speed.

of moving small buildings piupucioi. Washington. The French simply cannot understand why the British and Americans did not come to their aid. Only their men were killed, their country destroyed, and their prisoners are now seen marching behind German guards. This has so infuriated them that now many Frenchmen almost relish the possibility that their fleet may be used against the British.

Another effect has been a change of feeling in France to ward the Germans. Frencnmen, especially in Paris, are beginning to say: "Well, after all we are Euro peans, so let's be Europeans. To hell with the Angio-saxons. iney can't be depended upon. Maybe the Germans are not so bad, alter all." This attitude has been helped by the excellent behavior of the Nazis in Paris.

There are almost no troops on the street. Nazis have kept out of sight, and tne arrests made by Herr Himmler's Gestapo have been done very quietly. Meanwhile, some of the French newspapers, obviously coked up by Nazi subsidies, have begun a terrific attack upon the British, together with a campaign to educate the French people regarding the better qualities of the Germans. The French are still inclined to look upon their conquerors as Germans, not as members of the National Socialist Party. Few Frenchmen seem to realize that this is a revolution, not a war, and that Hitler is conquering Europe for National Socialism, which has made more far-reaching changes in the capitalistic system than Russian Communism.

Hitler's Tactics It has become increasingly obvious that the smartest thing Hitler did was to knock off the countries of Europe one at a time instead of permitting them to gang up on him. When Hitler took Czechoslo vakia, for instance, the Poles were encouraged to take a small piece of Czech territory. Then after they had taken it, Hitler took' back the little piece of Czechoslovakia plus one-half of Poland. One reason Hitler was able to take Poland was that he promised Russia the other half. And now Stalin, realizing his own peril, is frantically defending his Polish Baltic border.

One year ago, talking to Amer ican diplomats in Berlin, Nazi leaders made no secret of their intention to employ the same stratpow in the western Hemi sphere; in other words, to isolate the United States from Britain and France, then provoke revolutions in south America and take those countries away two and three at a time. The United States itself, Nazi leaders would be relatively easy. Social revolution was sure to come in a year or so, at which time all Gerirmny needed to do was to aid the revolutionary party Republican Navy The morning after Colonel Frank Knox was appointed Sec retary of the Navy in a Demo cratic administration. Congress man Carl Vinson walked into the room of the House Naval Affairs Committee, of which he is chair man. Seated in his chair, feet upon the chairman's desk, Vinson discovered Representative Melvln Maas of Minnesota.

Mass is the ranking Republican member of the Naval Affairs Committee, but he is not sup posed to occupy the chairman's position. So as Maas made no sign of moving, Chairman Vin son said: "Well, what's going on here?" "Mr. Vinson," replied Maas "take a chair over there. Don't you know the Republicans have taken over the Navy?"

He was a dishwasher in a restaurant but soon became a short-order cook. Other experiences during this period included steel puddling outside Chicago, corn-husking in Iowa and milking cows in Wisconsin. With this experience, he entered Indiana Law School at 22. The feeling for democracy instilled in him by his grandfather had been expanded and consolidated by these experiences. His father had been a booster for William Jennings Bryan, and Bryan had stayed at the Willkie home when he visited Elwood.

But they were In there pitching all the time, and their dash and scrappy spirit added much to the convention. These were the leaders among this history-making group: 1 Russell Davenport In keeping with his unprece dented blitzkrieg campaign, the righthand lieutenant of Wendell Willkie was a newcomer as green as grass in politics.

Tall, bald, sprawly Russell Dav enport had been an editor of For tune for ten years when he met the utility magnate and decided he was prime presidential timber. Old timers laugher, but that didn't faze Russell. By means of the most extraordinary publicity whooperoo in American politics, he skyrocketed his candidate in three months from minus zero to a speculative home stretch drive. Politics will remember Russell Davenport for a long time. David Sinton ngaffs Taft's manager and cousin, David Sinton Ingalls, was no stranger in politics, having been in the Ohio legislature and a candidate for governor in 1932.

But this was the first appearance of the genial, boyish-looking World War ace on the "big time." With more time and a lesi flashy candidate than Davenport's, Ingalls conducted a dignified, orthodox campaign. But he, too, will long be remembered as a gentleman of rare charm and ability. J. Russell Sprague Like Ingalls, stocky, square-chinned J. Russell Sprague, Dewey generalissimo, was a veteran of local politics.

A wealthy lawyer, he had long been active in th Nassau County (Long Island) GOP when Dewey selected him as his No. 1 manager. Of all the campaigns, his ran with neatest precision and attention to detail, Sprague's hard luck was Hit- conquest of Europe. -Facing that catastrophe, young Dewey untried and inexperienced in national and world affairs, faded lik a hot-house bloom hit by a wintry blast. Joe Pew Joseph N.

Pew, multi-million- aire oilman and "angel" of Penn- 1 sylvanla Governor "Buttonshoes" James, is the most intriguing of all the newcomers. Pew is in politics for only one reason to lick th New Deal. He is after no tariff handouts (traditional Pennsylvania boodle wants no government contra eta nor offices. His only ambition is to smash Franklin Roosevelt and all his works. It has cast Pew a lot of money; intimates place his contributions as high as $1,000,000.

But he considers the money well spent and is ready to put out as much more. For to Pew, Roosevelt and the New Deal are personal enemies bent on destroying him. He recently told a friend seriously, "If the New Deal is returned to office, I know that within three months they will put me up against a wall and shoot me." For all his wealth and power in inner GOP circles. Pew kept rigidly in the background at the convention. His caution was well illustrated at the first press confer- ence he ever held.

The reporters tried their hardest to draw him out, but beyond saying that he had already announced he was for James, they could get nothing from him. Finally, one of them asked. "In the event the Governor isn't in the picture, what would your preference be as between Taft, Dewey and Willkie?" Pew pondered silently for a long time, then said, "On or off th record?" "Well, we'd prefer it on the record, but make it anyway you want." Again Pew studied the matter at length. Finally, he lifted his head, and as the newsmen leaned forward eagerly, said with a straight face, "No comment. Pittuhnrrh Pr Co fitted.

Hie youth had a fighting look in his eyes which were not obscured uy sirmgy juck. oi nair vumuiuig down the right side of his countenance. He was handsome and well-built and his actions betrayed an extraordinary energy. It was Wendell Willkie a freshman at the age of 15 three years ahead of other lads of his age.

He was not destined to remain the football season Indiana won a very important game. The oversized freshman and some other gay dogs determined to celebrate the victory by coloring Bloomington a deep maroon. In the course of their activities the cry of "Cheese it, the cops!" up-to-the-minute vernacular then, was heard, and everyone ran except Wendell and his brother, Ed. They rolled up their sleeves and smiled at each other. Prim Women Rebuffed The next day a delegation of prim women called on the Willkie's father in Elwood to report they had been shocked to learn that his two sons were reposing in the Bloomington calaboose.

He told them he already knew it and that had his sons run away with the other boys he would have been ashamed of them, but inasmuch as they had stayed to face the law he was proua or mem. With that he wished the women good-day. This spirit and attitude imbued in Willkie by his father is still one of the candidates outstanding char acteristics. Young Willkie intermingled -with his academic career a vast amount of practical experience and travel. This was partly by design, prin- cipally of necessity, for he had to i Has Been in Senate Since 1 9 1 Was Dean of Law School try.

He was co-author of the Mc-Nary-Crosser bill, providing a code of laws for merchant airships. He was never an orator in any sense. He whistled in the corridors of the Senate, leaving the lambasting of the New Deal to his Republican colleagues. He consistently refused to participate in the attacks against Mr. Roosevelt's program as Republican leader of the Senate.

Mr. McNary adopted the theory that Mr. Roosevelt should be given a free hand. If New Deal policies failed, Mr. McNary contended that the President would be responsible.

Thus Republicans would be in a position to offer a substitute. When Mr. McNary was not engrossed at his office he could be found usually playing a game of golf or watching a baseball game. Golf, however, was his favorite game and he had a putting green on his large farm at Salem, Ore. As soon as Congress ended Mr.

McNary would go home. He delighted in the maintenance of his farm and in experimenting in horticulture. In 1904 he married Jessie Brey-man. a native of Salem. She was killed in an auto accident in 1918.

Five years later Mr. McNary married Cornelia Morton of Washington. Club to Celebrate 50th Anniversary The 50th anniversary of the chartering of the University Club of Pittsburgh will be celebrated with a three-day program beginning Oct. 25, J. Roy Dickie, its president, announced today.

When the club was chartered Nov. 22, 1890, it occupied two rooms at Wood St. and Fourth Ave. In 1896 it moved to the 400 block of Penn now the property of the Pittsburgh Athletic Assn. The present million-dollar building in University Place was completed in 1923.

The club now has approximately 1500 members. The Anniversary Committee in cludes Dr. E. R. Weidlein, chairman; Park J.

More than 100 additional witnesses are expected to go before the Grand Jurors when the inquiry is resumed tomorrow night.

Already the jurors have heard 850 witnesses, most of whom are reported to have repeated complaints that they either did not sign the petition or that it was misrepresented to them. The probe which Is expected to be completed this week was launched by District Attorney Andrew T. Park when The Press received hundreds of communications after publishing 4800 Western Pennsylvania names taken from the petitions which are on file with the State Election Bureau in Harris-burg. Meanwhile, a ruling was waited by five judges who have under advisement an action filed by the Communist Party to halt the inquiry. Briefs were tiled Friday and a decision is expected by the middle of the week.

The Communists claimed there was no legal reason for the invest! gation which was described as "a fishing expedition. Willkie Party Sails On Trip to New York PHILADELPHIA, June 29 Wendell L.

Accompanied by his wife and 20-year-old-son, Philip, he boarded the yacht of Roy W. Howard of The Scripps-Howard Newspapers and said he planned to get of! in New York City Monday morning.

Mr. and Mrs. Howard and Russell Davenport, who handled Mr. Will kie's campaign, accompanied the party. Mr.

Willkie said planned to cruise around Cape May and Long Island Sound and that the yacht had neither a telephone nor a radio sending set. He shook hands with all the dock workers before he boarded the yacht. Modest and Retiring, Seldom Delivers an Address H. Special tc The Pittsburgh Press WASHINGTON, June 29 The Republican vice presidential candidate Charles Linza McNary of Oregon is one of the mast popular men in the United States Senate. Handsome and well dressed, he is nevertheless, a modest and retiring i man who seldom delivers a When he does it is a short one.

Senator McNary was born of western pioneer parents on a farm at Salem, on June 12, 1874 and he grew up in the rugged atmosphere with a grim determination to succeed. He was graduated from Stanford University, was dean for five years of the Willamette, College of Law, and served two years us associate justice of the Oregon Supreme Court before he sat in the U. S. Senate. Started in 1917 The soft-spoken Westerner went to the Senate in 1917 on the appointment of the governor to fill a vacancy left by the death of Senator Harry Lane.

In 1918 Mr. McNary was elected in his own right for a six year term. He was reelected in 1924. 1930 and 1936. Although the law was his profession, Mr.

McNary always was a farmer at heart. Thus his interest in agriculture was taken. "With Senator Arthur Capper of Kansas Mercy Ship Arrival. Spurs I p. r.

Back of the campaign by the Willkie forces is an even more incredible story the story of how Mr. Root launched the utilities man into politics without his consent, started a tidal wave on a $40 shoestring-budget, and argued Mr. Willkie into politics. "I prophesy Roosevelt will' not run now," Mr.

Root said. Interest Unselfish, He Says My interest in Mr. Willkie ends when he walks through the door at 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue in Washington," Mr. Root said. "I hope to stay with him during the campaign.

I'll see him in New York about that. My political ambitions end with his election. Why? Because when he is President the opportunities in this country will be so great one will not need to aspire to public office." The young candidate maker said he became convinced, after hearing Mr. Willkie speak at Princeton University and reading his magazine articles, that "he ought to be Presi dent, and that a lot of others thought so, too. He decided to find out, spent $40 to print 600 Willkie for President petitions and mailed them to friends and others without consulting Mr.

Willkie. It took 15 minutes to write the petition, with a clever footnote advising where might be ordered. The print shop was swamped and or'nted over 277,000 petitions in all before the convention. Willkie Finally Advised Mr. Willkie heard about it.

Mr. Root obtained leave of absence until July 1 from the New York law firm, in which he held a minor position, nd opened headquarters. He advertised for financial support. It poured in on him in sufficient volume to pay for his offices. Then the youthful lawyer called up Mr.

Willkie and suggested: "Perhaps you would like to discuss this." "I certainly would," Mr. Willkie said, and Mr. Root called at Mr. Willkie's office. "He had plenty of comment." Mr.
