Argentina Disputes
 Faith Versus Custom,

BUENOS AIRES, Sept. 25, (P)-A tradition of Argentine requires that the President of the Republic must stand godfather for the seventh male child in a family.
 This custom caused the discus sion recently of a point of religion when President Alvear agreed to be godfather to the seventh child of a Protestant citizen. The Argentine Constitution requires that the Pres dent must be a member of the Catholic church, but it also guar antees freedom of worship to all sects.
