Following this, Robert Blake of American Aid to France explained briefly that the iood was going chiefly to French children and told how it was being distributed through French schools, orphan- ages and hospitals. He also intro- duced representatives of the three American church groups—Protes- tant, Catholic and Jewish—which are supervising the distribution to- gether with representati of two French Groups, the Frénch Red Cross and Entre'aide I spoke next and, after a few words in very peor French, turned the michophone over to my brother Leor as spokesman for me My mother used to tell the story of how my brother and I, at the ages of 8 and 10, kept chickens and sold eggs. According to her, I would ring the doorbell, then push my small brother forward to meet the housewife and do the talking. Some Senators say that of recent years I have got over this reticence. In France, however, my brother—who has spent some years hi for the International New Service and the National Broad- casting Company—did a beauti- ful job of explaining the Friend- | ship Train to the French people He told various stories about the schoolchildren, the labor un- jons, the businessmen, the church- es,"'1 armers and the different towns which contributed to the train and he did it so graphically that it brought cheers from the crowds at the railroad stations The local mayor then responded, followed by the prefect.
