Argentine Nazis Termed
Ready 10 Try Putsch
By the Associated Press.

BUENOS AIRES, Nov. 22-The
newspaper Critica denounced alleged
Nazi and Fascist fifth column ac-
tivities In a full page article yester-
day, charging that Buenos Aires
Nals now are in position to at
tempt a putsch with alarmingly
good chance"
The newspaper asserted the Nazis
had divided the city into four zones,
each with 800 to 500 adherents.
These groups meet two or three
times a week, the Critica article
continued, and receive military in
struction with modern firearms.
Fascist leaders operating under
instructions from Rome have organ
lied 'Mussolini brigades," the article
said, which conduct military drills,
wear special uniforms within their
quarters and swear loyalty to II
Duce.
The Nazi and Fascists carry on
parallel activities, but each group
has its own leaders, Critica declared.

leaders and gave the addresses Of

ATLANTIC CITY, N. j., Nov. %.
Philip Murray, 53-year-old mine
worker, was elected president of the
Congress of Industrial Organi-
cations today as the organization s
convention met in final session.
Mr.. Murray, a vice president Of
the C.. I. 0. and the United Mine
Workers, was chosen by acclama-
ton. He succeeds John L. Lewis,
founder of the c. I. O. and presi-
dent for five years.
The convention rose and cheered
as Mr.. Lewis, who placed Mr.. Muir
ray in nomination, concluded a
glowing tribute with II give you a

Qn New Orleans, where the
American Federation of Labor is
in convention, President William
Green said he hoped" the selec-
ton of Mr.. Murray as president
Of the c. I. O. would aid the cause
of peace between the A. F. L. and
C.I 90.
asked If Mr.. Murray would
aid in closing the breach between
the two organizations, Mr.. Green
replied:
C"Well. all can say is that I
hope so.")
Mr.. Murray, eyes wet, sat on the
stage biting an unlighted cigar as
the flashlights of photographers
flooded the auditorium, and the
convention took up the chant 1--WE
Want Murray" then swung into

The demonstration took on re-
newed force as Killed Scot band
paraded on the stage, bagpipes

Mr.. Murray, son Of Irish parents,
was born in Scotland.
Eventually President Lewis CAV
eled for order, and Sidney Hillman,
president of the Amalgamated
Clothing Workers and also a c. 1.
o. vice president. seconded the
nomination.
we are giving Philip Murray
not only the leadership of our Or
ganization but to the service of the
Nation" said Mr.. Hillman.
The election of Mr.. Murray, he
said, was q challenge to those who

President Reveals
Pershing Declined
Ambassadarship
General Refused Vichy
Post With Deep Regret
On Advice Of Doctors
BY the Associated Press.

HYDE PARK, N. Y, Nov. a.
President Roosevelt disclosed today
that he had asked Gen. John j. Per-
shing to become American Ambassa-
dor to France, but that Gen. Per-
shing had declined with deep regret
on the advice of his physicians.
The 80-year-old commander of the
American Armies in the World War
has been In poor health for several
years.
Mr.. Roosevelt told a press confer
ence that he had not yet accepted
the resignation of William C. Bullitt,
now Ambassador to France. The
resignation was submitted November
Z, and he said the stage had not
been reached for discussion of some
one else as possible successor to
Mr. Bullitt.
The President said it was perfectly
true that he had asked Gen. Per-
shing last week to accept the am
bassadorship, that the general had
waited for three or four days while
he tried to persuade his doctors to
let him accept.
Then, with very deep regret, Mr..
Roosevelt said, Gen. Pershing sent
him word that he had to take orders
from his doctor instead of from the
Chief Executive.
The President said he had felt
that since Gen. Pershing knew
Marshal Henri Petain, head of the
French government, from their aSso-
citation in World War days, the two
would understand each other.
To question about the status Of
Joseph P. Kennedy-it has been re-
ported he would resign as Ambassa-
dor to England-Mr. Roosevelt said
he had not heard q thing except
what he had read in the papers.

Congress Will Use
Temporary Quarters
During Roof Repairs
Senate and House to Move
Out of Chambers
For Rest of Session

The Senate and House voted to-
day to leave their chambers in the
Capitol next week to permit tempo
rary repairs to be made to the roof
Of the building.
The Senate agreed to request by
Majority Leader Barkley that it
meet for the remainder of this ses-
sion in the old Supreme Court cham
ber in the Capitol, which, was the
original Senate meeting place.
The House approved a resolution
by Majority Leader Mccormick
calling for its sessions to be held in
the caucus room of the Old House
ONCE Building.
Engineering reports have empha-
sized the need for repairs to the
roofs over the Senate and House
chambers, which were declared to
be in very dangerous conditions.
A sum of $587 900 has been appro-
priated for reconditioning the roofs
and it is planned, after temporary
repairs have been made, q new roof
will be fabricated during the first
session of the incoming Congress
and the job completed after that
session adjourns.
Visitors will not be permitted to
attend sessions in either the old
Supreme Court chamber or the
House caucus room, which provide
space only for members of Congress
and the press.

fused to despair. Twenty-Five years
ago, he pointed out. the German
Army had fired the opening gun Of
the 1914 war on Belgian soil, but
now four months of this present
war had gone by and so far the
country had escaped. There was
hope in that reflection, the King
said.
I could not resist putting my skep-
ticism in words, but the King would
have none of it.
There is no danger but the imme-
diate danger"
So April came around. A sue

fleckless Italian-blue skies and star
studded soft nights and then, as
suddenly as a flash of lightning
from these same innocent skies,

invasion of their country was
threatened within q matter of hours.
I saw the King IL hours before
the big attack came. Two ennis
saries were alleged to have started
from Berlin with an ultimatum to
the Dutch government from Hitler.

u. 5. Help 10 British
Approaching Peak,
President Indicates
Everything Possible
Being Done, Roosevelt
Says at Hyde Park
By the Associated Press.

HYDE PARK, N. Y. Nov. a.
President Roosevelt indicated at a
press conference today that, under
present conditions, American aid to
Britain was near its peak.
He said everything possible was
being done at the present time.
Two weeks ago Mr. Roosevelt had
laid down a rule-of-thumb under
which he said Britain and the
United States would share $3.50 in
American production of planes, guns
and other war equipment.
Asked today whether, in view of
the recent acceleration of German
bombings of English communities
that rule could be altered to give
more help to the British, the Presi-
dent said the question was altogether
| too general.
If some one poins point out spe-
cifically how it could be done, he
said, it might be different story
But suggestions on that point, he
said, must come from other people.
In response to another inquiry, he
said it should not be taken for
granted that consideration was being
given to expanding American as
sistance to the British.
He challenged any one to show
him the way planes could be built
faster, and asserted that you can't
pass bill or issue an order and get
planes the next day.
Informed there had been some
discussion of extending credit to
Britain, which would require a
change in the johnson Act for
bidding loans to nations in default
on World War payments, and of the
possibility of using American ships
to convoy vessels part way across
the Atlantic, the President said
there had been nothing on those
matters in the Government.
Additional inspections of national
defense facilities by him are sched-
uled before the end of the year, Mr.
Roosevelt said, but would not state
where he would make them He told
newsmen to keep their bags packed
and remain ready to accompany him,
as some of the inspections would be
made in December.
He added that he would return to
Washington Monday and remain
there all next week, and would be in
the Capital also for Christmas and
New Year.

BY JOHN CUDAHY,

Last January when the war was
four months old, I first met King
Leopold III in one of the florid ba-
rogue salons of the royal palace in
Brussels. He extended his hand cor
daily with a smile of genuine
friendliness, and that was my official
introduction as United States AM
bassador to Leopold, King of the
Belgians.
He was dressed in field army uni
form and looked the soldier, a tall
handsome figure with well-set
shoulders and the ruddy clear skin
of the athlete. Later, sitting op-
posite him in another room of the
palace, I was struck by his extreme
simplicity, a simplicity approaching
shyness, accentuated by an air Of
deep melancholy.
If deliberate pledges, solemnly ex-
ecuted, meant anything between
nations, King Leopold had no cause
for worry, and yet he was worried

Mr.. Willett expressed qualification
that numbers of contributors are
making at least a small addition to
the size Of last years subscription
Poor Pay for Deficiency.
The campaign last year ended

The deficit, Mr.. Willett said, has
meant that help was denied to some

aid, some children who should have
had care in foster homes and some
young people who should have gone
to summer camp"
Only willingness to increase the
size of last years gifts, Mr.. Willett
said, will prevent similar deficit
when the campaign closes Tuesday.
