BEHIND THE SCENES
~ IN WASHINGTON
BY RODNEY BUTCHER

S. government induced President
Vargas of Brazil to take the stern
measures against Fascists and
Nazis which preceded the recent
attempted coup d'etat at Rio dc
Janeiro.
But Roosevelt and Secretary
Hull secretly have been patting
Vargas on the back.
Last summer the Integrelistas,
with Nazi connections, were MAX
ing Roadway in Brazil. Vargas
invited them TO put on, a parade,
promising to review it. The Pres
ident had his men, out with, me-
chanical counters which proved
the Integrelista marchers, num-
bered but a third as many as their
leaders said they had mustered.
Vargas then revised, the, govern
ment and left Integrelistas out,
broke up German cultural" So
cieties, 'deported or jailed many
German Nazi organizers, and pref
ty we'll ruined the Integrelistas.
The State Department has. seen
no evidence to prove the claim
of Vargas that the amateurish at
tempted revolt was inspired from
Berlin. Vargas is thought to be
making the claim for home con-
SUMPTION. But Vargas is a pet
hero in Washington, just the same.

Observation-Disclosures Ar

general in charge. of antitrust
cases will provide plenty of ac-
ton. o.
Evidence Of monopoly law vio-
lstions will no longer be buried in
Justice Department files, under
Arnold's new policy. 1t will be
tossed before grand juries and
courts for whatever it is worth.
And instead of dropping anti
trust. criminal prosecutions when
defendants promise to cease the
violations with which they're
charged, Arnold and Attorney
General Cummings will insist on
further "cleanups" by accused
corporations, designed, to promote
public interest, and free COMPETE
ton, before they recommend nolle
PROSE- Of indictments. No one can
tell how this will work out, but
the policy contains large POSSIBLE
tiles in the field of supervision of
industrial-financial practices.
In its current action against the
Ford. Chrysler. and General Mo-
tors companies, the government
is concerned with complaints
that the automobile companies
have Disseminated against indie
pendent finance companies, that
dealers have been coerced into do
ing retail financing only with
finance companies affiliated with
manufacturers, that dealers were
making secret profits on time
sales as - result of excessive
charges required, by finance COM
panies and that in one case bad
practices Were aggravated by an
automobile eompany's complete
ownership Of its associated finance
company.
Just what else Arnold would
expect the companies to stop do
ing-or start .doing-is his own
secret.
NO one can prove charges. Of.
