National Affairs: Boys from Brunete
(2 of 2)
Frederick Thompson once forced his way into the hospital with a batch of wounded. His activities also involved a skirmish with U. S. Ambassador William Bullitt. Because U. S. passports for ordinary travelers are not valid in Spain, U. S. citizens who wanted to fight there had to get in and out as best they could. On the way home they often showed up in Paris without passports. Mr. Thompson had to pull many a wire before Ambassador Bullitt would treat them as extraordinary travelers, entitled to re-enter the U. S. without credentials.
Father Frederick was still in Paris last week, confounding Fascists and having the time of his life. Son David and Nephew Jimmy left Spain last autumn, Jimmy to marry lovely, dark-headed Actress Mary Liles in Manhattan.
