WASHINGTON—Lewis Wiuiams' Douglas, newly appointed Ambassa- dor to the Court of St. James, has ‘ three unique characteristics: He was one of the few who could cutcharm Franklin Roosevelt; he is only one step removed from being a British subject himself; and he can telk (onger, say less and still make people like him, which is say- ing a sot for a diplomat—or anyone else. In addition Lew has crowded a great deal of valuable Government experience into his relatively young life, and s!l-in-all shovld make an astute and able envoy to the nation where we so badly need capable representation. Douglas’ close kinship with the British is through his grandfather, a Scottish professor of geology, who migrated to Arizona via Canada where he established the beginning of the Phelps-Dodge copper mil- lions. But despite the fact that the family drewv millions from the USA and that the town of Douglas, Ari- zona, named for him, grandpa re‘used to become an Am. is (Continued on Page Four) was the sole objector when S.
