Hayes, U.S. Ambassador to Spain 1942-45, was sent to counter Axis pressure on Franco's Spain, to persuade it to remain a neutral non-combatant, (important with coming operations in North Africa). Hayes--successful, was able to gradually negotiate significant facilities concessions. ||| Since 1910 Hayes taught modern European history at Columbia Univ.; was drafted against his objections by President Roosevelt. ||| During & after Spanish Civil War, Hayes was opposed to Franco & his Falangists; war makes for strange bedfellows.
