County Clerk Chester Dalton and

 The European relief recommends tion, presented to the congress by Dr. Jose Luis Tejadas, was embodied in a series of IS resolutions setting forth the conclusions reached at the weeks meeting Dr. Tejadas and other delegates pointed out that as Europe acted as the financier of Latin America before the war, many of the southern republics were ip- debted to many European nations needing relief and were in a position to pay those debts with the needed commodities. The United States, it was asserted, would confer a Gouble benefit by allowing the Latin Ameri- can countries to act as the middle men, in proposed relief measures. The existing exchange rates would

WASHINGTON, Jan. 23-.Legisla. tion designed to differentiate sharp ly between decorations awarded na- val officers and men fos "meritorious and distinguished service.' and for "valor'" was proposed today by Rear Admiral Austin M Knight, senior member of the board that passed re- gently on medal recommendations, to the senate subcommittee investiga- ting decoration awards. One reason for the existing controversy, Admiral Knight asserted lay in the fact that there was no medal available except the congressional medal of honor, awarded only in very exceptional cases for acts of extreme heroism.
 Admiral Knight took issue with Secretary Daniels contention that commanding officers of ships sunk or seriously damaged by the enemy should receive the distinguished ser vice medal whenever their conduct was meritorious.
 "OSficers who lose their ships" the admiral told the subcommittee, "should never be so rewarded unless they take offensive action against the enemy or succeed in saving their
