thusiasm by the Navy Department.
Since 1921 many things have
changed in naval strategy and in
naval construction. The Navy feels
these shall not be disclosed even to ou.
best friends because of the danger
o. leakage" While no admiral sus-
poets the honesty and loyalty of the
Argentine or any other South Amer
lean naval officer, they might become
guilty Of involuntary indiscretions
which could seriously affect our naval
strategy
The Argentine government insisted
that its naval officers must have q
higher training than is afforded them
in a relatively small navy like their
own. 1t was hinted in Washington tina,
in the event that the American Gov.
ernment could not see its way to grant
this privilege to Argentine naval Of
flcers. the Buenos Aires government
might be compelled to ask for such
advantages some other first -class
naval power like Italy, or Great
Britain
The State Department does not
want this to happen and has been
urging lately the Navy to relent on the
decision taken after 1921.
1t is understood that after a SER
ious consideration of the merits of
the case the Navy Department has de-
cided to accept a number of Argen-
tine naval officers on board America n
WarshipS These officers will be per-
mitted to follow the usual routine
exercises but will not be allowed to
follow the principal war games in
which actual battle problems are be.
ing enacted
This solution is reported to be ac-
ceptable to the Argentine government
and number of officers will be sent
shortly to this country and placed on
board various units as observers.

Richard, meanwhile, had a date
in Police Court today to explain
how a check for $3.50 which he
cashed in a local liquor store and
which led directly ohis popping
the traditional question to Honey,
suddenly rubberized to the great
anguish of the liquor Store pro-
prietor. He was held under 81, 900
bail for the grand jury.
Honey, the tiny blonde front
liner in a local nigntcIub was all
set to truck-on-down the middle
aisle to the wedding march to-
night when those unromantic po-
lice stepped nto compplicate
matters.
But even as the bridegroom-to-
be appeared before the judge on
the false pretense charge, the
clouds showed a lining, if not
exactly silver, at least, a good
grade of plate.
Word was whispered around
that Blaine's father, in Miami,
would be revealed in the Santa
Claus role in making good the
check which bounced.

CHICAGO, Nov. S U.N.S).
Strong winds and pelting rains
swept into the Midwest and Mid
south today, quenching forest fires
and alleviating drought conditions,
but threatening widespread prop
erty damage.
The storms, scattered over a
wide area, caused warnings to be
displayed on the Great Lakes.
The Central States apparently
bore the brunt of the strong
winds, which in some instances
were of tornado proportions.
Buildings were toppled in Du.
quoin, in southern illinois. Un-
rooted homes, unrooted trees, brok'
en- windows and interrupted com
munications also were reported
from Indiana towns. Power lines
were down.

From time immemorial the cap

G.N.SO Chairman Frank r.
McNinch of the Federal Communi.
cations Commission today invited
the heads of the three national
radio broadcasting systems to con,
fer with him informally next week
on subjects pertaining to their
programs, especially the frequent
and, at times, misleading us of the
term flash"
McNinch said his invitation was
sent to the presidents Of the Ma
tional Broadcasting Company, the
Columbia Broadcasting System
and the Mutual Broadcasting SyS'
tenn.
The FEC chairman's action fol.
lowed closely on the now famous
broadcast, THE War Of the
Worlds" in which the word
"Flash" was used frequently to
give effect to a dramatization Of
an attack on this world by mon
sters from Mars"
II have heard the opinion
often expressed" McNinch said,
within the industry as we'll as
outside that the practice Of
using Flash as well as 'Bulle.
tin is overWorked and results in
misleading the public.
1T is hoped and believed that
a discussion of this subject may
lead to a clearer differentiation
between bona fide news mat
ter of first rank Importance
and that which is of only ordi-
nary Importance on which finds
