u. ). Extends Credit
To Latin Nations
To Facilitate Trade
Export-Import Bank
To Become Clearing
House for Purchases
By the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press.
A plan to facilitate trade with
South and Central America, particu-
larry for the small businessman, was
announced yesterday by the Export
Import Bank.
Federal Loan Administrator Jesse
Jones announced that special lines
of credit would be established that
would enable Latin American buy
ers to make their purchases with
less difficulty than they have in the
past.
Mr. Jones said the Export Import
Bank is arranging to cooperate
with the central banks of South and
Central America in order to finance
exports from the United States to
other American republics.
Through its New York headquar-
tiers, the Export-Import Bank will
become clearing house for Latin
American purchases. This means
business will be expedited more
rapidly than under the old method.
when private financial arrangements
sometimes wasted months of valu-
able time, an Export-Import Bank
official explained.
Old Method Tied Up Cash.
Under the old method, small Latin
American businessmen often tied
up badly needed capital to purchase
American goods. Cash had to &C
company the order and sometimes
it took several months, because of
shipping shortages and priorities, to
deliver the goods to the merchant.
In order that trade with countries
of the Western Hemisphere may be
facilitated and those countries en-
abled as far as possible to procure
essential requirements for the de-
velopment of their resources and
sterilization of their economies, Mr..
Jones said, the Export Import Bank
will establish special lines of credit
for banks in Central and South
America to supplement existing
lines and under these special lines
WILL assume the uninSurable risks
incidental to making deliveries to
ports of destination.
Amount Not Revealed.
The amount of money to be ear
marked for this plan was not dis
closed.
Mr.. Jones said it was contem-
plated that such special credit lines
would be handled by commercial
banks in the United States under
the instructions and responsibility
OF the Export Import Bank.
The plan, officials said, will also
aid American manufacturers, since
it will assure them of quicker pay
ment and better satisfied Latin
American customers. Several Amer
lean republics have been seeking
such a financial arrangement for
some time to assure better flow of
goods and credit.

$500, 900 Outlay
BY the Associated Press.

that the cost of printing and dis
tributing 2,6l5.OOO pieces of cam

stead of the 100000 charged by
Kings County District Attorney
William ODwyer was given today

countants presented the figures to
Frederick E. Crane. former Repub-
lican chief judge of the Court of
Appeals. and James w. Gerard,
Democrat and honorary chairman
of the Finance Committee of the
O'Dwyer mayoralty campaign.
They were named by the Mayor
to conduct the investigation after
the Democratic mayoralty candi-
date charged that Mr.. La Guardia
was spending more than 81 100000
to be reelected for a third term
The election is November 4.
Labor Gift Intimated.
Robert Daru. counsel for the
ODwyer Campaign Committee. said
if the La Guardia forces spent less
than 100000 for the literature the
difference must be regarded as
campaign contribution by the
printers.
Witnesses testified that they made
a profit on the job, however.
The ony Immediately
brought from Mr.. La Guardia, nom
inee of the American Labor, Re-
publican, Fusion and United City
parties, the statement that Mr..
ODwyer had been lust 800 per
cent off" in his estimate and chal-
lenged Mr.. ODwyer's supporters to
let the La Guardia Finance Com
mittee investigate the Democratic
funds.
At the outset of today's hearing,
which will be continued Monday,
Mr., Daru asserted Mr.. ODwyer
lacked specific proof when he made
the charge. that it was mot a
charge in the usual sense"
You mean it was a shot in the
dark" demanded Arthur A. Ballan-
tine, representing the La Guardia
groups.
Mr.. Daru replied that it was up
to the Mayor and his hackers to
prove or disprove the accusation.
$4,000 From Three Groups.
Walter S. Mack. jr., treasurer of
the Citizens Committee for the
Reelection of La Guardia, testified
that $4,000 had been contributed
by three independent groups, which,
besides his own, were the Commit
tee on Public Information about
La Guardia, McGoldrick and Nor
ris and the All-American Commit
tee for the Reelection of La
Guardia.
Joseph p McGoldrick and New
bold Morris are candidates for con-
troller and council president.
An accountant for an auditing
firm submitted a report that the
three committees had spent S42911
up to October % when Mr.. ODwyer
made his charge. The report showed
that additional obligations of about
s93,700 existed in the form of unpaid
bills and commitments for which
bills had not been received.

Japan S DIET Expected
To Center Attention
On u. :. Relations
Question Of Continuing
Talks Due to Come Up
At November Session

BY tDe ASSOC-httC fISSs
TOXIC, Oct. 25.-The Japan
Times and Advertiser, organ of the
Foreign Office, declared tonight that
United States-Japanese relations
probably would be the chief concern
of an extraordinary session of the
Diet called for November IS.
The newspaper said foreign OBJ
servers believed the discussion
would center on whether to con-
tinue negotiations toward an un-
Outstanding with the United States
or to break off the talks.
Domei said a critical moment in
Japan's foreign diplomacy" had ar
rived. The news agency added that
the forthcoming parliamentary ses-
sion probably would deal also with
Japan's relations with Germany and
Soviet Russia.
Throughout the day the japanese
press fired back at an assertion by
Secretary of the Navy Knox in
Washington that collision with
Japan is inevitable unless she aban-
dons her plans OF expansion.
An editorial in Hochi said Knox
is trying to bluff Japan and added
that Japan would not be swerved
from her policies.
Chugai said "Knox's speech is
his usual blunder Of attempting to
threaten Japan. - We have to
be very careful with the United
States attitude. as threatening and
appeasing arguments GO on side
by side in order to work out a
clever plot"
A commentator in Hochi urged
Japan to open talks with Germany
and Italy aimed at establishment
of the projected new order instead
of continuing negotiations with the
United States.

Every bit Of It," said Henry.
Nov, you run along and play with

help me do a little investigating"
The deputy looked at Henry for
an invitation, but Henry shook his
head. You show my wife around
the place, and don't let the old man
fool around with the models or he'll
wreck something. Look out! There
he goes"
The deputy rushed to the rescue
Of a miniature village into which
the feeble-minded old man was
reaching an inquisitive hand.
Spinelli and Henry moved to the
tracks at one side Of the room. Il
assume you know something about
electrical wiring ?" Henry asked.
"a little. All Of us have had to
learn the fundamentals in order to
operate the trains"

because If he hadn't the automatic

ture right-of-way. He had to bend
his whole body, because Of his stiff
neck. Cant say do, Henry Looks
perfectly okay to me-"
But there must be something
wrong with itw declared Henry
desperately. There must be! There

locomotives closed hidden electri-

Spinelli's eyes widened. He
looked at Henry, then down at the
track again. Hmm. So that's 1t !?
Well, what we're looking for, then,
are short sections Of rail that
might be Insulated from the rest
and here they are!"
Henry peered over his pointing
arm. Il knew IT, l knew it! Show
me what you mean"

one OF the rails near its end
Here's a three-inch section sepa-
rate from the rest. And on the OPP

the opposite rail, someone has
