NEW CULTURE
DEFINITION
As far as comparison between
the men and women listeners
Of South America goes, the men
are more interested In culture"
(petry and good music and such)
than the women, who want to
know what's doing In cosmetics and
clothes.
But Miss Andre looks on It all
as culture-which she defines as
"the way people live"
She believes her programs have
done a great deal to encourage
good will" and has proof Of 1t
In thousands Of appreciative let
tiers.
AS q good "ambassadress" there
are two things she always remem-
bers:
ITO give the South Americans
back little Of their own culture
on every broadcast"
And ITO talk to them as q friend
or relative who Is In New York
on o visit, and Is anxious to tell
"all" to the folks back home"

For London Post

Speculation over the possible trade
significance of the resignation of
Alexander v. Dye as director of the
Bureau of Foreign and Domestic
Commerce centered today over pos
sibilities that he may become Amer
ican commercial attache in London
and that Dr. Willard Thorp may re-
turn to the bureau post here.
Mr.. Dye, bureau director since
1885, submitted his resignation yes
terday. He has been in the Gov
ernment commercial service since
1921 and will not leave his present
post until further arrangements are
made for his future activity and for
the filling of his Office.
With the administration currently
bending every effort to stimulate its
trade with the so-called democratic
nations and with South America
changes In key commercial posts
are looked upon as more than ordi-
narily important.
DR.. Thorp, who once served as
director of the bureau but whose
nomination was withdrawn in the
face of Senate opposition, recently
entered the Commerce Department
again as special adviser to Secretary
Hopkins.

Thomas Resumes
Attack on Policies
OF Miss Perkins
Says Nation Looks to
Congress to Correct
Shameful Condition
BY the Associated Press.

Representative Thomas, Repub-
lican, of New Jersey, who has pro-
posed impeachment of Secretary
Perkins, said yesterday the Nation
is looking to Congress to correct
the very shameful condition" in the
Labor Department.
He accused Miss Perkins of trying
to replace the immigration statutes
with some sort of idealistic philos-
ophy" peculiar to her.
The House Judiciary Committee is
considering his resolution asking
impeachment of the cabinet officer.
Representative Thomas made his
assertions yesterday in a statement
to the press, which he described as
IAN answer to the public statement"
of Secretary Perkins at her recent
appearance before the committee.
TT is clear evidence" Mr.. Thomas
said, that Frances Perkins Is rep
resenting Communist aliens and not
the Government of the United States
in urging an appeal of the Strecker
decision "a case involving proposed
deportation) and that she has the
interests of these Communist aliens
more at heart than she does her
sworn duty to enforce the immlgra-
ton laws of the United States"
Representative Thomas, in his
impeachment resolution, charged
that Miss Perkins and two of her
aides were guilty of high crimes
and misdemeanors" for alleged fail
ure to enforce the immigration laws
against Harry Bridges. West Coast
c. I. O. maritime leader, whom Mr.
Thomas described as an alien Com
munist. Secretary Perkins repeated
before the Judiciary Committee the
Labor Departments contention that
it cannot resume deportation pro-
ceedings against Bridges until the
Supreme Court decides. in a case
involving Joseph Strecker, whether
membership in the Communist party
alone is sufficient grounds for de-
portation.
Representative Thomas contended
Miss Perkins defense was big sis
ter story-a plea that even aliens
who are Communists should have
the same rights under the Consti-
tuition as native-born citizens have" :"

First Of Series on
Fiscal Relations
BY the Associated Press,

by lne Associated fIeSS.
Brazil's financial problems headed
a list of subjects which were up for
discussion today at conference be-
tween Oswaldo Aranha, Brazilian
foreign minister, and Secretary OF
the Treasury Morgenthau.
The interview, arranged by the
State Department following an "ex-
change of views" between Under
secretary of State Welles and Mr..
Aranha at the Brazilian Embassy
yesterday. was expected to be the
first in a series on exchange and
credit problems hindering trade be-
tween the two countries.
Mr.. Aranha brought with him
voluminous statistics on commercial
relations and visible and invisible
balances Of trade.
La Guardia Order Revealed.
Coinciding with the foreign min
ister's pleas for a better cultural
understanding between the two peo-
piles, the Brazilian Embassy was
omcially notified that Mayor Flo
relic H. La Guardia of New York
had given instructions for the
teaching of Portuguese in his city's
four municipal colleges.
Mr.. Aranha has expressed the
conviction that a close cultural re-
lationship between this country and
Brazils more than 45,000o0o people
is as essential as mutually beneficial
economic relations.
The entire problem of Brazilian
United States financial relations, in
cluding frozen credits, exchange
difficulties, regulations and other
trade obstacles. was expected to be
laid on the table by the Brazilian
foreign minister for consideration
by this Government.

not asking for money" although 1t
would welcome commercial credits
and United States investments in
development of Brazilian industries

Scheduled to be the guest of Sec
retary Hull at an informal luncheon
following the conference, in which
Undersecretary Welles will partici-
pate, Mr. Aranha was expected to
discuss the small number of United
States citizens residing in Brazil.
More Americans there. he has con-
tended, would do much to increase
! the friendship between the two
peoples.
The minister is scheduled to con-
fer also with Warren Lee Pierson,
president of the Export Import
Bank, who discussed several posi-
bilities with him during his visit to
Brazil several months ago.
The question of long-term credits
for the financing of Brazilian i'm
ports from the United States and
imports by this country OF non-
competitive Brazilian products were
also on the program for further
discussion.

Traffic Fatality No. IL.

east of intersection of Biltmore and
Calvert streets NV.
The accident: An 88-year-old
woman, apparently crossing Calvert
street from the north to south curb,
was struck by an automobile going
east on Calvert street. The driver,
testifying at the inquest, said he
approached intersection slowly and
looked both right and left. Seeing
no traffic, he continued following a
taxi in front of him, which he said
suddenly swerved right toward the
curb. The driver said he then saw
the victim for the first time, near
the taxi's left side, and said that
he swung left in attempt to avoid
hitting her. The victim, he testified,
was apparently excited, and in try
ing to avoidethe taxi came toward
