IAoiio.
The dinner. at which Senator
Robert A. Taft of Ohio and Gov. E.
D. Rivers of Georgia are to be the
principal speakers. is being spon-
sored by the American Forestry AS
ISOLATION. Governors of States in
which forest fires are a major prob
lem will send representatives as will
national conservation and civic as
sociations.
Others participating in the plans
to honor the fire fighters are Sena-
tors Joseph c. OMahoney of Wy
oming. Holman of Oregon, Russell
of Georgia and Clark of Idaho and
Representatives Fulmer of North
Carolina, Gibbs of Georgia, Barton
of New York. Vorys of Ohio and
Monkiewicz of Connecticut. There
are also Ambassador Hugh r. Will
son, Col. John Thomas Taylor of
the American Legion. Leander Nc
| Cormick-G of the British
Embassy, Mrs. w. A. Hartman. con-
servation director of the National
D. A. r., and others.
A feature of the dinner meeting
will be the unveiling of the new
forest fire painting by James Mont
gomery Flagg. which the American
Forestry Association will donate to
the Nation. More than 100000
posters will be struck from this
painting for general distribution.
Mr.. Flagg will come here for the
dinner.
Whenever forest fires are men,
toned the name of "Peshtigo"
brings grim memories. 1t was at
Peshtigo. Wis, in 1871, that America
had its first and probably most dis
astrous forest fire. About $500
persons were consumed in the flames
and smoke and 100000 acres of
forest were reduced to ashes.
Because forest fires continue to
burn over nearly 100000 acres
every year, the campaign to redouble
measures for prevention will be
given impetus. The major task at
present, 1t was pointed out, is to
develop greater appreciation of the
waste and loss and the need for
more cooperation. Federal, State
and local governments will be called
on to participate.
The American Forest Fire Medal
for heroism. to be awarded by the
American Forest Fire Foundation
is supported by a number of con-
servatlon groups. Funds for its
perpetuation have been donated by
the public. Supporting agencies, be-
sides the American Forestry Asso-
clatlon, are the Association of State
Foresters, the Society of American
Foresters. the Charles Pack Forestry
Foundation and the National Lum-
Der Manufacturers Association.

'Outside Cause Seen
By Boeinq President

DAYTON, Ohio, March 18 P,.-
Visibly shaken by news that his COM
pany's 33-passenger stratoliner had
crashed near Adler, Wash, killing
10 persons, C. L. Egtvedt, president
of the Boeing Aircraft Co., tonight
said there must have been some
outside cause" for the crash.
Mr.. Egtvedt, who has been in Day.
ton for two weeks comforting with
Wright Field Army Air Corps off,
cials regarding military develop

ested, said:
1T was a very good plane, one of
the best we have built. I can't be-
lieve the fault lay in the ship itself.
The plane had passed all its pre-

Mr.. Egtvedt said he would remain

German-Rumanian
Trade Negotiations
Move |ntensiveIy
King Carol Calls High
Army OfficioIs to
Decide Course
By the Associated Press,

By the Associated Press.
BUCHAREST, March 18-Trade
negotiations given sharp, new signi-
flcance by NaN erasure Of Czecho-
Slovakia during the week proceeded
intensively today between nervous
Rumania and expanding Germany.
King Carol, considering Ger
manys new position from the mill
tary as we'll as the economic stand
point, called in high army officials
to advise the crown council on Ru-
mania's future course.
The trade negotiations. which Dip
lomatic circles in London and Paris
viewed as holding important. even
alarming, political significance. were
being conducted with DR.. Helmuth
Wohlthat representing Germany.
A general nervousness indicated
all was not going well with the trade
discussions and that there were
many points of difference. Foreign
Minister Grigore Gafencu insisted,
however, that Germany had pre-
sented nothing amounting to an ul-
timatum. He pointed out also that
German official sources had denied
any extraordinary pressure was be-
ing brought on this Balkan king
dom Of rich economic resources.
The impression prevailed never
theless that Germany had made
certain proposals regarding German
Rumanian trade, including plans
for disposition of Rumania's Pc
troleum, which Rumania declined to
accept.
Further negotiations therefore
were in order with the Rumanians,
impressed by the political develop
ments OF the week. open to new sug-
gestions from Germany.
DR.. Wohlthat has been here since
early this month. He came to
Bucharest to regulate technical
problems concerned with payments
and the exchange of products be-
tween the two countries. But rou-
tine, trade negotiations assumed in
tense political significance as Ger
many absorbed most of Czecho-
Slovakia in her eastward expansion.
Rumania and other Balkan coun-
tries sell vast quantities of food and
raw materials to Germany, but re-
gard too much such business as un-
satisfactory from their point of view
because it is almost entirely on a
barter basis
Raw materials are exchanged for
manufactured products which Ger
many has attempted to dump into
the Balkans in excess of the needs
of the Southeastern European states
Thus the Balkan nations in the
past few years have been trying to
sell to the Western European democ-
racies and to the United States to
avoid being drawn completely into
the German economic system.

Argentina and initiated In WASH
ington in 1885. This agreement has
never been reported out of COM
mittee IN the United States Senate.
Argentine pride Is now involved.
1t is a matter Of principle and
matter Of home politics. There is
no hoof and mouth disease in Pata-
gonia and, far from having beef to
export, Patagonia imports meat for
its own consumption. Patagonia is
different from the rich pampas,
abounding in succulent grass, that
grows the beef around Buenos Aires.
Patagonia is sheep land and can
support only one head to six or eight
acres. A little frozen lamb and
mutton might be shipped to the
States.
Wouldn't Harm U. S., Say Experts.
The Argentineans believe that
President Roosevelt when he was in
Buenos Aires two years ago gave
the Argentine government solemn
promise for favors received that the
sanitary pact would 60 through.
Instead Mr.. Roosevelt has left the
agreement in committee, no doubt
because he fears that the cattle
State Senators would kill it on the
floor.
This kind of log-rolling is bad
government and an argument for
those who fear that democracy may
not be able to survive in the present
head-on collision with ruthless, ag-
gressive and united Fascist states
Relations between the colossus of the
North and the colossus of the South
are strained and American traders
out $4,000 900 year because the
Senate is unwilling to make gesture
which could not harm American
meat growers, according to experts
AS for removing the embargo or
the whole of Argentina. that is {
more complicated problem and tn
experts are not unanimous. Littl'
is known about the dissemination
Of the hoof and mouth disease, bu
there is no doubt that it exist
throughout Argentina.
Sanitary Measures Lax.
Two Argentine arguments are no
valid. When they point out tha
the British buy their beef they cal
be answered that England is full o
hoof and mouth disease. When the
say that it does not matter, Ameri
can cattle growers can say that /
certainly does.
The truth is that Argentina sim
ply cannot understand that there i
less hoof and mouth disease in tn
United States with its 80,0OO00
head of cattle than in Argentina
Argentine sanitary measures are s.
lax and the powerful cattle grower
get around them so easily that tn
men of the Pampas cannot imagine
our strict sanitary enforcement
But the Argentinean is right whel
he asks us to treat the problem non
politically. He urges investigation
by American and British experts
This would seem good diplomacy Of
our part. We need it sorely afte
the latest incident in this unhappy
meat story.
The Argentineans have arrange'
restaurant at the New Yorl
Worlds Fair. Naturally they wan
to prepare Argentine steaks. Blu
the United States has refused ther
the right to bring in Argentine bee.
This is strange way to meet Ger
man methods.

DR.. Hans Kinder has revised the
program for next Sundays concert

ira to include Franz Schubert's
Symphony No. in B Minor"

the noted conductor has described
as one of the six great symphonic
works of all ages, was the first Of
10 musical masterpieces included in

Mexican Cabinets
Aid Awaited 10 End
Conflicts Of Radio
Broadcast Interference
To Be Minimized if
Pact Is Agreeable
BY WILLIAM ]. WHEATLEY.

Clearing of the American radio
spectrum used in the standard
broadcast bands of interference from
foreign stations is expected to re-
suit from meeting of the Mexican
cabinet scheduled for next Wednes-
day, it was learned here yesterday.
If the cabinet puts into effect
administratively the North Ameri-
can Broadcasting agreement, signed
at the international convention at
Havana. December 13, 1887, it will
result in a general shifting of the
frequencies now used by American
stations. and those in Mexico, par
ticularly the stations along the
United States Mexican border which
have been causing conflicts because
of their high power and antennas
directing signals toward the United
States.
Action by Mexico is NEEDED to put
the treaty into effect in accordance
with plans approved at the conven-
ton. Three powers already have ap-
proved it. The Mexican Senate last
year failed to approve the treaty,
resulting according to communica-
tions officials, in a continuance of
what they describe as chaotic condi-
tions in the standard radio broad
cast bands. AS a matter of fact,
Elliott Roosevelt, second son of the
President, and president of the
Texas Radio Network. during his
testimony before the Monopoly
Committee of the Federal Com
munications Commission, urged that
the State Department be called on
to make positive representations to
Mexico to do something to assist in
clearing up the air.
Official information has just been
received here that the Mexican ad-
ministration realizes the gains tc
be obtained from approving the
treaty and will lay the matter be-
fore the cabinet next week with a
view to getting administration ap-
proval of the treaty. American
communications officials, hoping fol
favorable action, are prepared. along
with Canada, Cuba, the Dominican
Republic and Haiti, to put into ef-
feet new rules and regulations tt
reallocate the frequencies.
Although it was said that mos
of the stations in the United State!
will have to go on other frequencie.
than the ones now allocated tt
them, broadcasters in this country
have expressed themselves as in ia.
vor of putting the treaty into effect
because it will improve reception

States authority to increase it.

PRAGUE, March 18.-At least
10000 residents of Bohemia and Mo-

the Sudeten struggle last year, would
become his secretary of state.
All day Prague residents continued
their silent demonstrations before
the Rathaus War Memorial honor
ing patriots who were killed in 1920,
when Czechs once before lost their
independence. Men, women and
children-few without tears-stood

Inside the Rathaus Getty halD
citizens complied with a military
order requiring them to surrender
all ornaments. Revolvers, old mus
