His favorite sentinel abroad is Ambassador to France Bill Bullitt: bald, slim, elegant, as close a student of all Europe as was that other rich Philadelphian, Dr. Benjamin Franklin.

Litchfield, who has tough Steelmaster Tom Girdler on his board. Litchfield is a great dirigible booster, a chum of Germany's Zeppeliner Dr. Hugo Eckener. In 1936 he wanted to nominate Colonel Charles A. Lindbergh for Vice President on the Republican ticket. Last spring he urged the U.
