ARCHIVES "NATIONAL SERVICE" RECORDA AND
Former Secretary of State James F. Byrnes telephoned the
Secretary from Spartanburg, South Carolina, that a friend of
his from Indiana had inquired of him if serious consideration had
been given to the appointment of Philip Willkie (son of the late
Wendell L. Willkle) as an Alternate to the fortheoming General
Assembly in New York next month. Mr. Byrnes said he knew that
all the Alternates had been named and that If consideration was
being given to Mr. Willkie's appointment, it would involve send-
ing his name to the Congress by itself.
The Secretary replied that the question had been raised, but
the plan was to have the Same Delegates and Alternates that had
attended the previous session. He added that when another Dele-
gation was appointed in September, perhaps something could be
done at that time.
Mr. Byrnes said he fully understood the situation, but had
promised his friend that he would lock Into the matter.
