Mrs. William D. Leahy

VICHY ADMIRED

WIFE OF ENVOY

Passing Expected to Have Effect at Touchy Period

| In U. S. Relations.

By PAUL GHALI { Coprright, 1942 by The Thdianapolis Times snd The Chicago Daily News. Ine. - BERN, April 21. —The official announcement this afternoon of the death of Mrs. William D. Leahy, the wife of the American ambassador to Vichy, has created a deep impression in Vichy circles and on the whole French nation. Mrs, Leahy, a woman of great charm and modesty, was much liked in Vichy and had been of considerable help to her husband's delicate mission since the Leahys arrived in France in January, 1941. She took a personal interest in American medical and food supplies for starving French children and accompanied the ambassador to Marseilles last April when he went there to take delivery of a shipment. Comes at Delicate Moment

Mrs. Leahy’s death at an especially delicate moment for FrancoAmerican relations will have a psychological influence of undoubted importance, it is felt here. On the one side, it will reinforce French sympathies for Admiral Leahy, who was extremely devoted to his wife, refusing to leave his post before her recovery. On the other hand, the admirals last political steps in France will be accompanied by an expression of profound and sincere sympathy which might not appear under other circumstances.

Paris May Hush Attacks

The Paris press, for example, will undoubtedly hush up its attacks against the ambassador in -compliance with the intense dislike of the French for tactlessness. It is very probable, observers here believe, that the absence of any ailusion to Franco-American rela(tions in Pierre Laval’'s first speech last night to the French nation as its new chief of government was due to respect for the American ambassador’s grief and angiety.
