Argentine Pact Will

Shorp Exception Voiced
To Claim Made by
Livestock Mems Aide
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
Government officials considering a
proposed trade agreement with Ar
gentina took sharp exception to-
day to a statement that there had
been "a tendency to sacrifice agri-
culture to get an outlet for indus
try in the negotiation of CONNER
cial pacts between the United States
and other countries.
The statement was made before
the Committe on Reciprocity 1nfor-
nation by H. M. Conway, represent
ing the National Livestock Market
ing Association of Chicago. He
urged the group not to recommend
lower duties on beef and beef prod
uct imports from Argentina.
Il doubt if there have been any
concessions that have injured agri-
culture" said George B. L. Arner,
committee member representing the
Agriculture Department. Il defy
any one to prove there have been.
Careful Frop Beginning"
"You may be assured the agri-
cultural representatives on this COM
mittee have been careful from the
beginning to see that no concessions
would injure American agriculture. "
Henry L. Deimel, representing the
State Department, said that of 18
trade agreements made up to 1887,
: foreign countries had granted the
United States concessions on "a per
cent of its agricultural products.
Senator Hatch, Democrat, of New
Mexico told the committee that Il
think you'll find men in both
branches of Congress who have sup
ported the trade agreement program
who will reverse their stand if you
permit these agreements to bring
foreign agricultural products into
competition with those of the United
States"
The American Livestock Associa-
ton filed brief asserting that
Argentina has tried to balk the
United States at every Pan-Ameri-
can conference and should not be re-
warded with a market in this coun-
try for its agricultural products.
Other Imports Increased.
OF eight countries sending goods
to Argentina, said the brief, all ex-
cept the United States increased
their percentage of imports in the
first SIX months of 1899 as compared
with 1898.
1T is grossly unfair" the brief
, said, ito attempt to buy that market
for our automobile manufacturers
and others at the expense of the
American livestock producer"
Meanwhile, the League of Women
Voters today expressed approval of
the proposed trade agreement as "a
desirable means of promoting sound
international relations in the West
ern Hemisphere A league state
ment said the agreement would ben
eft both producers and consumers
in this country.

yesterday French troops be-

The German air force yes
terday continued opertions against

During the air fight an Eng

by German planes. One German
fighting plane was brought down
by English anti-aircraft artillery.
"On October 16 and II the op-

the sole purpose of strengthening
friendly cooperation" and guar
anteeing the security" of both gov

Mr.. Roosevelt had expressed the
hope that the Soviet Union would
make no demands on Finland which
are inconsistent with the mainte-
nance and development of amicable
and peaceful relations between the
two countries and the independence
Of each"
Mr.. Kalinin recalled that Russia
recognized Finnish independence in
1917 and that its sovereignty was
guaranteed by 1920 treaty between
the two countries.
"The present negotiations between
the Soviet government and the gov
ernment of Finland are also being
conducted in conformity with these
principles" he said.
Mr.. Kalinin declared that the aim
Of the negotiations was "consolida-
ton of the reciprocal relations" be-
tween the two countries.
President Kalinin took occasion
to refer sarcastically to the rumors
that Russia has harsh designs on
Finland, describing such reports as
"tendentious versions which are be-
ing disseminated by circles evidently
not interested in European peace"

WITH THE BRITISH ARMY IN
FRANCE, Oct. 18-When Britain
bids for a break through" on the
western front. the vast number of
tanks that have clattered and
banged their way to the lines will
lead the attack. They are the iron
cavalry of the modern army.
Built by Britain's best engineers
and manned by soldiers of a famous
cavalry regiment, the blunt-nosed
machines of the squadron visited
were pointed toward the front, ready
to lead the infantry waves into bat
tie when ordered.
The squadron was on the alert,
forbidden to 60 more than a half
mile from its billets..
Irode in a tank along the frontier
tank vastly different from the lum-
bering beasts of a quarter century
ago.
Alongside the heavy machines that
the British launched against the
Germans at Cambyai in 1916, these
tanks are tiny, but their speed and
effectiveness have been doubled or
tripled.
Hammering over the ground still
pocked by the shells of the World
War, I saw how effective the new
tanks were.
Each tank mounts machine guns
and rifle and is equipped to throw
smoke bombs out of trigger mortars
to screen an advance.
The turret swivels so that the gun
ner can spray his bullets in deadly
rain over enemy positions.
Speed Of so M.P.H.
Speed of so miles an hour can be
made on open roads, and IS miles an
hour across plowed field. The
powerful engine does three miles on
a gallon of gasoline.
From his turret the pilot COM
mands the tank, talking to the rest
OF the crew by telephone-because
the clamor is like thousand boiler
factories all going full blast. He
can communicate with other tanks
by two-Way radio.
Inside the tank is as self
contained as submarine. I climbed
down into one and was lost in a

All Over In 80 Seconds.
"The whole thing was over in
30 seconds. After that only a dark
cloud of smoke was visible. The
Royal Oak had disappeared, while
the Repulse listed heavily forward.
Immediately thereafter the Brit
ish got busy with searchlights, and
their destroyers loosed water bombs.
only one man in car appar-
emily had seen us. He turned
abruptly and drove of at full speed
and evidently reported us. We could
see him so well because we navi-
gated quite close to the shore"

light that Germany is introducing a
new technique in naval warfare with
some startling results, as indicated
by the sinking of the British war;
ships Courageous and Royal Oak.
My question is, should this new tech
nique prove successful, and mastery
OF the seas be transferred from Eng
land to Germany. would those who
now favor the change in the act
again want to change the Neutrality
Law to prevent Germany from get
ting supplies with which to attack
England and Frpnce?"
Senator Holt contended in reply
that this Government would blow
hot and blow cold' with changing
conditions.
The blowing hot and cold de-
pends on the drafts from Downing
street" Senator Holt added. 1T is
not the winds of the Atlantic that
bother U.s."
Debate Held Pertinent.
Senator Barkley refused to Join
Senator Connally, Democrat, of
sition was engaged in a flibuster.
Senator Barkley said that a good
deal of the debate had been drawn
out, but it has been pertinent and
legitimate"
Senator Nye, Republican, of North
Dakota, an opponent of the bill, also
took exception to Senator Connally's
flilibuster remark, but he conceded
that by prolonging legitimate debate
the opposition was helping to build
up sentiment against repeal in the
House"
Senator Connally made his fill
buster remark late yesterday in an
exchange on the Senate floor with
Senator Danaher Republican, of
Connecticut, a repeal opponent.
Senator Danaher challenged the
administration to be consistent and
ask for repeal of an old law banning
export OF arms and ammunition to
Latin American countries.
COnnally Explains Purpose.
Senator Connally, who had just
entered the chamber, interposed:
THE purpose of that act
Is to prevent gun running, prevent
f1libustering-except by the minority
that Is now filibustering in the
United States Senate-expedition
from the United States into Latin
American countries and to prevent
fermentation of revolutions and dis
turbanceS."
Ignoring the filibustering remark,
Senator Danaher rejoined that Sem
ator Connally was taking the posi-
ton that the reason for us being
here is to get rid of Hitler and
Stain"
"Oh, no." Senator Connally said.

you can't help wondering what it

retired, who has held the position
since last July l, when it was
created, is said to have won the
support Of one or more members Of
the Senate group. DR.. Rutland an
nounced late yesterday he would
recommend continuation of the job.
The statement of DR.. Rutland
was unexpected since, it was re-
called, he had advised members of
the House District Appropriations
Subcommittee there was no need
to continue the salary for the busi-
ness managers position after the
end of the first years trial. The
committee agreed and the House
passed the supply bill minus the

DR.. Rutland Denied "Feud."
Repeated differences had de-
veloped between DR.. Rutland and
Col Hayden during preceding
months, some of which were aired in
statements to the press, although
DR.. Rutland insisted there was no
"feud' between them.
On one occasion, Col Hayden
submitted a series of recommended
tions to the health officer, one pro-
posing a reorganization Of the de-
partment which would give the
business manager authority over all
department affairs except profess
Slonal matters. In disappearing this
suggestion, DR.. Rutland told re-
porterS that Col. Hayden wanted to
be a sort of major domo for the
whole department"
Later, during the controversy be-
tween university medical school au-
thorlties and the health officer over
control of Gallinger Hospital wards,
Col. Hayden suggested that the so
luton" of the controversy would be
in the creation of a separate De-
partment OF Hospitals, to be headed
by a business executive" In his
written statement of the proposal
the Health Department business
manager said: In my opinion from

The city hospital services had been

More recently, Col Hayden filed an
application with the Welfare Board
for appointment to the $4,000 lob

up private welfare work at Rich

Frauenheim Reveals
Talent in Recital
BY ALICE EVERSMAN.

A well-planned program of piano
music was given last evening by
Norman Frauenheim at the Ra-
leigh Hotel ballroom with a friendly
and attentive audience in attend
ance. Although no novelties or mod
ern works were featured, the favor
lite numbers of an artists reper.
toire were programmed in progress
sive order. Chosen mostly from
among the romantic school, the
composers represented ranged from
Haydn to Debussy.
AS an Interpreter of Chopin, Mr.,
Frauenheim shows both exceptional
penetration and sympathy. Richly
poetic in sentiment and delicate
expressed in the way of tonal COL
orlng, his reading of the two noe
turnes, in c minor and F major,
was an exquisite example of his
talent. His entire style underwent
a transformation and he caught
with complete understanding the
changing nuances and the deep
moods of feeling. The same was
true OF his playing of the "Mazurka
IN F Sharp Minor" which held that
particular grace of style and ele-
CANT lightness that Chopin COM
manded so perfectly.
Equally symbolized by rare COM
prehension was his performance of
the four Debussy numbers with
which the program concluded, "The
Wind Over the Plain" "Puck's
Dance" La Terrasse des Audiences
du Clair de Lune" and LTsle Jov-
euse." His power of tonal descrip-
ton as shown in this group was
expressive of great variety and di-
rected by an intuitive feeling for
the exact yet delicate shade of in
Election that brings out the high
lights. The quality of his tone in
both the Chopin and Debussy was
warm and mellow. lending itself
easily to every desired hue.
The brilliancy and strength of
Mr.. Frauenheim's technical equip
ment and his musical feeling was
well demonstrated in Haydn's "Va-
riations," Brahms "Intermezzo in
B Flat Minor" and Schumann's
"Carnaval," which were programmed
in the first group. Less subtle in
detail and less strong in personal
inspiration than the Chopin and
Debussy, they followed the accepted
Interpretation with some of the Sec
tions of the "Carnaval" attaining
greater expanSiveness through
more varied play of light and shade.
A sincere and constantly striving
artist, Mr.. Frauenheim made a deep
impression on his listeners who well
coined each number with a generous
demonstration of their appreciation
and were successful in gaining the
encores they desired to hear.
