Washingtonians Seek To Return to U. S. From Marseille l Ambulance Driver and Daughter of Davies Among Refugees Washingtonians are among the war refugees in the jammed French port of Marseille, the Associated Press reported today in trans mitting a belated French announce ment of Italian air raids in the south of France during the last days of the conflict there. Charles Fawcett of Washington, an ambulance driver, was one of five young American drivers who escaped the German advance and reached Marseille, hopeful of ob taining service elsewhere. Mr. Fawcett, formerly employed in the Interior Department, was an art student and worked as an artist's model before leaving for France. He came to Washington a few years ago from Greenville, S. C. Among others takmg refuge in Marseille were Mr. and Mrs. Robert Grosjean. Mrs. Grosjean is the daughter of Joseph E. Davies, for mer Ambassador to Belgium and presently assigned to duty at the State Department. Mr. Grosjean is a Belgian who was called to active duty with his country’s army several months ago, a short time after his marriage at the estate of Senator and Mrs. Millard Tvdings at Oakington, Md. It was reported that Mr. and Mrs. Grosjean were seeking to return to the United States from Marseille by way of Spain. The Associated Press also reported that the son of Count Robert van der Straten Ponthoz, Belgian Am bassador to Washington, was safe at Toulouse. With a group of other Belgian officers the Ambassador’s son. who is a lieutenant in the tank corps, reached Toulouse after a retreat that carried them through France. French officials in Marseille an nounced that Italian air raids in the last days before hostilities ceased had taken 145 lives at Poitiers and 73 at Gueret. Poitiers is 58 miles south and slightly west of Tours, while Gueret is 100 miles southeast of that former provisional teat of the French government. Lincoln (Continued From First Page.) unity, and at what price? Is it the unity that Wall Street would im pose on this country, and at what cost? "We are engaged in a great pro gram of preparedness, which re quires unity in this country. Is that what Mr. Willkie means? Or does he mean that private industry is to say that you shall have the kind of - unity that industry desires or no unity? If a private industrialist, like Henry Ford, who has a foreign policy of his own, should decline to co-operate in this preparedness pro gram, will Mr. Willkie defend him?” Senator Pepper said that Mr. Will kie had not approved the T. V. A., which he classified as an agency of preparedness originated under Presi dent Wilson in World War days. He said Mr. Willkie has tried to sabotage the T. V. A. with the same kind of attack with which he succeeded In Philadelphia. Sees America Disapproving. "I say America will not agree to his kind of unity,” said Senator Pepper. "I say that the country will not look with favor on a private bureaucracy.” Senator Pepper brought in the name of Thomas Lamont of J. P. Morgan <fc Co., who was a backer of the Willkie nomination. He de clared Mr. Lamont would have to change his background and political philosophy before the American people would support his candidate. Senator McNary of Oregon, the minority leader, who was nominated for the vice presidency by the Re publicans, held an informal recep tion on the floor as his colleagues, both Democratic and Republicans, gathered about him to offer their congratulations.

Burial will be in Arlington Na tional Cemetery. Willkie Has 50-50 Chance, Says Norman Thomas By the Associated Press. MILWAUKEE, July 1.^Norman Thomas, the Socialist party’s presi dential candidate, pictured Frank lin D. Roosevelt and Wendell Will kie, the Republican presidential nominee, as political twins yester day and predicted Mr. Willkie had a 50-50 chance to be elected even if Mr. Roosevelt ran for a third term. Mr. Thomas called Mr. Willkie “the wonder boy of the Republican partyj” but described him as “a rep resentative of the political fall of man—from spiritual Socialist to Democrat to Republican.” The white-haired Socialist said he expected Mr. Willkie’s popularity with the public would grow swiftly and by election time would rival that of Mr. Roosevelt. Mr. Thomas drew numerous parallels between Mr. Willkie and President Roosevelt, and said that if the men had exchanged positions in 1932 each probably would have followed the identical course the other has charted since.
