The Guggenheim Foundation is the
first official step in this direction, in
creating an exchange Of students be-
tween the universities of Latin America
and those of the United States. These
students, when they have completed
their studies, will receive their profess
sional diplomas and return to their
mother countries to teach the new gen
erations. Knowing the characteristics
and the soul of the nation in which
they lived and studied, they will teach
the truth about it, and will take an
interest In passing their knowledge on
to others. From this constant intel
lectual exchange there will be formed
in time a new fund of international
background in this hemisphere, since
through knowing each other peoples
come to understand each other and to
love each other.
At present there are. Of course. nu-
nnerous Latin American students in the
colleges and universities of this coun-
try, but the Guggenheim Foundation
offers the first material aid Of real i'm
iportance in this respect. Statistics

HANGS OF THE WILD"
 AT LIBERTY TONIGHT

"Fange of the Wild" an FBO production starring Ranger which is at the Liberty tonight, is said to be fine example of what clean, wholesome and exhilirating enter tainment may be put into a dog picture if the director and author are wise to their business.
 This story, by Dorothy Yost and Dwight Cummings, is one in which the smooth trend of the plot is not marred by lot of foolish antics on the part of a canine star. The dog, of course, has plenty to do in fact the whole picture revolves about him, but his part is the basis of the story and not a lot of ex- traneous work showed into a story in which he does not belong.
 The human cast is given more than the usual opportunity to act and its members have all done jus tice to their work. There are many dramatic situations through out the story and these are put oyer mainly by the fine acting o
 both dog and his supporting cast | The cast includes Ranger, Doro thy Kitchen, Sam Nelson, Ton
 Lingham, Sid Crossley, and others

 His appearance at that moment was the picture I was to retain of him until the end of my days. The wild rage of his face transfixed me. His lips were froth-flecked and 1t came upon me overwhelmingly that the man was murderously insane and that I had been nearer death than I ever had been.

 But what have done to you?' I demanded casually.
 What have ye don?" he scream ed. "Whut-whut-whut-"

He doubled up at the knees and as he toppled forward I caught him and laid him out on the floor.
 Scooping up my automatic, I spun around, expecting Dillon to come pouring into the room, proceeded by a fusillade of shots. But he did not, although I knew he was stand ing out there, waiting, listening. He evidently didn't know what had happened. Well, I knew what Dill Ion was waiting for! I had saved my life, but I wanted him to com init the overt act. I wanted him to attack me.
 My eyes fell on the dummies and all at once I knew what I was go- ing to do. Initiating Furie's high pitched voice, I shrilled:
 "Yer head or yer belly-whur'll ye have it?"

 My legs gave way beneath me and I dropped to the floor; the pistol slid from my hand. I could not have moved or uttered word to save my life.

 Several years ago the Navy began its aerial map ping operations in the Territory Many thousands of square miles of land and water area were filmed from the air. New water resources were uncovered by the photographs taken, and the nature of the country its topography it's timber resources were disclosed more realistically than would have been possible in any other The results aided materially the efforts of the U S.
