Uruguay Extends Welcome; Sails for
Rio JaneirO, Last Stop, Tomorrow,
BY the Associated Press.
MONTEVIDEO, December l7.-Uru-
quay took the occasion of Herbert Hoo
vers visit today to display its friend
ship for the United States. Mr.. Hoover
was greeted by enthusiastic crowds after
his arrival last night from Buenos Aires,
the only disturbance being when a
small group of spectators shouted
'Vivkpa Sandino."
Despite the strenuous program that
he carried out in Buenos Aires, Mr..
Hoover appeared to be in fine physical
condition today and seemed to be en-
joying his experiences. He felt that his
frank and free exchanges of views with
the Presidents of various countries
would result generally in better under
standing between the governments of
North and South America. He expected
to have time to present the viewpoints
of the United States on many subjects
of interest to the Americas and their
future relationship before leaving here
for Rio Janeiro tomorrow. He was to
be received by the Chamber of Deputies
during the day President Campisteguy
will give a dinner in Mr.. Hoover's honor
| tonight.
Program for Today.
The program In honor of Herbert
Hoover today is
! 10 am-Reception to the American
colory by Mr. Hoover.

u. S. REACTION TO LEAGUE
MOVE WATCHED INLONDON
Britain Anxiously Waits Monroe Doctrine
Effect If Geneva Attempts Coercion
of Paraguay and Bolivia.

Should the League try to coerce the
belligerents, what will be the attitude
of the United States? The British
foreign office seems at loss to answer
this question. and has been trying un-
successfully for the last 48 hours to find
out from official and private American
sources how the State Department feels
about this matter. Nobody has been
able so far to give them any reassuring
information.
In the old days the Balkans uSeu to
be considered the indirect cause OF all
international confiagrations. Things
are changed now and Great Britain is
worrying more about South America
than any other part of the world, be-
cause it is believed that any conceivable
conflict between the United States and
England would originate in the South
American continent.
British representatives at La Paz and
AScuncion, the Bolivian and Paraguay
an capitals, respectively, have been in
structed to use their utmost diplomatic
skill to induce the conflicting states to
settle their disputes amicably while the
British Ambassador IN BuenoS Aires is
trying to obtain Argentine Intervention
in the present dispute. The British
cabinet is most anxious to see an early
settlement of the conflict in order to
avoid the much-feared test case involv-
ing the Monroe doctrine.

HOOVER|NURUGUAy
CLOSELY GUARDED
Tour Arranged for Today
CurtaiIed as Precaution-
ary Measure.
BY REX COLLIER.
al Correspondent Of the Star


MONTEV-- oEO, Uruguay, December
17-President-elect Herbert Hoover was
being closely guarded here today be-
cause Of Communist agitation against
American imperialism" Conmunistic
elements in Uruguay and Argentina ap-
parently have organized an extensive
movement against the visitor from
America.
Throughout last night sentries stood
guard about the Parque Hotel, where
Mr.. Hoover and his party were quar-
tered Although no alarm was felt for
his safety, the sightseeing tour arranged
for his party today has been curtailed
as a precautionary measure. .
CaValrymen last night dispersed sew
eral groups which attempted to stage
a demonstration in the street before
the hotel. A number of banners bear
ing the inscription Nicaragua" were
raised amid the crowd, attended by
shouts of the same nature
Uruguayan riders dashed their mounts
among the agitatorS, knocking many
to the streets and welding the fiat If
their sabers on others, who scattered
and fled into adjacent alleys.
An attempted demonstration outside
the Palace was similarly quelled. Mr.
Hoover saw little of the disturbance.
An anti-American meeting of Com
munists was held here Saturday, al
though the agitators who attended were
largely Europeans, and their activities
were not regarded seriously by the
Uruguayans These latter natives of
Uruguay are extremely friendly to the
American party, and President-elect
Hoover's stay here has been the signal
for the assembly of vast friendly crowds
who greeted his every appearance.

FAIRBANKS, March '. P)-With the aerial dash to Spitzbergen from Point Barrow tentatively set for the first week in April Captain Wilkins and Lieutenant Eileson are marking time in readiness for preliminary stop at the Arctic base.

DICTIONARY OF
 BIOGRAPHY WILL SOON BE ISSUED
TO RESTORE FORGOTTEN REPU- TATlONS AND GIVE PROMi-
 NENcE TO AMERICANS

NEW YORK, Mar. 7, (P-The first book of a 2O-volume Dictionary of American Biography will be issued soon by the American Council of Learned Societies. The editors of the dictionary, de-I string to omit no name worthy of in- clusion, have given out in advance of publication the list of subjects of bio graphies in the first volume and invite from all sources, suggestions as to- additions.
 These may be sent to Dr. Allen Johnson, editor-in- chief, COP Hill Build ing, Washington, D. c.
 One of the outstanding phases of the work of the editors has been the attempt to restore forgotten reputa- tions, to give prominence to Ameri- cans who have made some VaiuaOle contributions to the national life but who. by some caprice of fortune, have been robbed of their fame.
 The dictionary will not include the biography of an living American. Achievement of one sort or another will be the test for including bio graphy in the work but virtue alone will not be the basis, for men Of evil influence will not be ignored. For example, Jesse James has been judged worthy of space because of his activi- ty in frontier outlawry, but the ordi- nary criminal or madman will have no place in the dictionary
 In addition to statesmen, soldiers, clergymen, writers, artists, scientists and other notables, usually dealt with in biographical works, the dictionary win include sketches of the careers of explorers, frontiersmen, engineers and the prize ring; eminent crafts men-engravers, silversmiths and print CTS.
