The cautious-tongued Argen-
tine foreign minister came to
Rio De Janeiro with his nation
not committed to any concrete
proposals and at a press confer
ence last night he eva d e d q
query whether his delegation
was studying severance of rela-
tions with the Axis nations.
MAY SEVER TIES
However, there was q report
current in pre-conference dis
cussions that Argentine was
showing some disposition toward
severing relations with the
Axis-perhaps ending CONNER
cial relations, which already are
almost paralyzed, without an
actual termination of diplomatic
relations.
After the formal opening
ceremonies, the conference is
scheduled to receive some three
score resolutions, of which the
most important deal with these
three issues:
/. The extent to which Amer
lean republics are willing to aid
Uncle Sam fight the Axis.
2. The unification of Ameri-
can economies on wartime
basis.
3. Measures for postwar re-
construction.

other delegates, it was under

AFFAIR OF THE HIGH NOTES
Upon their return from an
overnight business trip. eccen-
trio multi-millionaire Alden NC
Intyre and his secretary. Cosmo
Bixby, found McIntyre's safe
robbed of 100000 in $1,000
bills. No servants slept in the
house.
Mcintyre pointed to the open
safe. "Nobody's touched it but
l could see the bills were gone.
Fingerprint men got busy with
the safe.
"Bit unusual-and extremely
risky-to keep 100000 cash In
a house-even in such an ex-
cellent safe as that" 1t. Riggs
observed.
Unusual? Maybe. I don't fol-
low the usual, young man. That's
why I've got millions! Risky?
Used to taking risks. Your job
is to get the money back.
Shouldn't be difficult. Here,
Cosmo, get them that list you
made of the numbers OF the
bills"
Bixby took a small sheet OF
paper from the safe shelf and
handed it to Fordney.
Where" asked the Professor,
were you last night?"
Here! Don't be suspecting my
secretary" snapped Mcintyre.
He was with me in Washington
i'm the same hotel"
THAT safe," Fordney observ-
ed, twas opened by someone
who knew the combination. How
many did,"
"Bixby and that's all.
Fordney looked at the paper
Does your bank also have a list
of these numbers?"
Don't think So" the million
aire replied. Had the bills for
years. What's that got to do with
it? Isn't one list enough?"
"That," Fordney explained to
1t. Riggs at headquarters, Il.
why l suspect that Bixby gave
the combination to someone who
stole the bills and why think
they will not be recovered.
WHAT SINGLE PHYSICAL
CLUE CAUSED FORDNEY TO
SUSPECT BIXBY? THEN, By
WHAT TON DID
FORDNEY THINK 1T UNLIKE.
LY THE MONEY WOULD
EVER BE RECOVERED EVEN
THOUGH THE LIST HAD
BEEN BROADCAST TO ALL
BANKS?

and requirements for air force
pilots, bombardiers and navi-
gators had been lowered from
20 to 18 years. Married men
now also may train as filters, and
intelligence tests have been
substituted for educational re-
quirements.
Stimson said the army in
crease called for vast expan-
sion also of housing and train
ing facilities which, he added,
has already started.
The army now is building
nine new camps to accommodate
10000 men each, he said. All
training centers are being ex-
banded to accommodate and ad-
ditional 100000. In addition,

al United States by the time the
last men are indicted" Slim
son said.
HINTS EXPEDITIONS
"By that time some divisions
may be out of the United
States making their quarters
available"
The War Secretary noted the
expansion had been started we'll
in advance of peacetime sche-
dulles for wartime increases.
"One plan provided that the
first three new divisions beyond
existing regular and national
guard units should be organized
by 160 days after M-Day Mob
ilization Day." he said
eff we consider M-Day to
have been December 7, the first
three divisions thus will be
created some so days ahead of
schedule"
Stimson said commanders of
all the new divisions had been
assigned and training cadres
were being organized.
All preparations have been
made to set UP the first three
divisions by March Is.
THE increase is based on
the same balance we have
tried to- observe in the past"
the secretary observed.
Asked whether the expansion
was geared to procurement of
munitions, he said he noted the
United States was undertaking
TO supply other nations as well
as its own armed forces.
OFFICER OPPORTUNITIES
Officer training for enlisted
men in the army has been ex-
banded since last July to give
instruction TO 10000 candidates
instead of the initial annual
rate of 10000.
For men possessing the neces-
sary qualifications, the War
Department said induction as a
private would be only the first
step towards an officers COM
mission as a second lieutenant.
The army expects to commission
approximately $4,000 men from
its officer training schools this
year. as Stimson said.
Enlisted men are eligible for
the thrcc-months officer schools
after four months In a replace
ment training center, or six
months with q unit in the field.
and leadership qualities are
stressed above formal education.
Older men who qualify as
second Ieutenants will be ac-
celebrated to a grade more in
keeping with their age provid-
ed they display the necessary
qualities of leadership. 4

Bill Passed by House
Defers Classification
For JobIess Tax Act
Another Gives Authority
To Extend Pipe Line
Under Park Area

Two local bills passed by the
House yesterday--making a minor
change in the Unemployment COM
pensation Act and authorizing an
oil line extension in the District
are on their way to the Senate Dis
trict Committee today for considera-
ton within the next few weeks.
The compensation amendment
merely postpones for another year,
until July /, 1914, the requirement
that the board classify employers
according to their employment rec
ords for the purpose Of applying a
graduated tax rate.
At present all employers pay a
uniform pay roll tax rate of 81,
which has resulted in building up
a reserve of approximately $30, ,000,-
600, whereas officials believe a $l0,-
G0, 900 reserve would be adequate.
There is pending in the House
District Committee now a proposed
new Unemployment Compensation
Act to check this mounting reserve
fund. If the board proceeded now
to classify employers according to
their records, some would get a
reduction in the 81 rate, but others
would have their tax rates in
creased, possibly to 4 per cent, since
the board would have to keep the
average rate of tax at 81 per cent.
BY postponing the application of
the graduated rate plan in the pres
ent law for another year. it is hoped

NEW YORK, Oct. 20.-The United

mer Ambassador Joseph G. Grew
last night in an address before the
War Finance Conference at the
Waldorf Astoria Hotel.
after the years I have spent at
tempting to safeguard a free Amer
lean economy against the potential
workings Of a. Japanese military
economy, I am relieved to think
that we shall never try again to pre-
serve the peace and our rights by
dealing with Japan which pursues
the course OF q robber state," Mr..
Grew said.
He asserted the financial system
which Japan has created is one
which violates all concepts of hon.
est dealing-"irrespective of the
epoch or system"
ut is the mere mask" he empha-
sized, "for predatory military oil
garchy which neither comprehends
nor approves the principles of hon

international good faith"
Thwarted by Militarists.
Avoiding the word "appeasement,"
Mr.. Grew said that his work in
Japan as United States Ambassador
had been one of constructive con-
ciliation." and that he had attempt
ed to lay down a solid foundation
for sound United States relations
but was constantly thwarted in this
effort by Japan's military extremists.
ut was found utterly impossible
to lay any solid foundation" he
said, land those who wanted and
worked to do that were rapidly
overwhelmed by the military ex-
tremists and pro-AXis elements in
the country. Thus the effort to
reach an agreement and to preserve
peace failed, and war ensued."
AS Japan's military clique gained
strength, he pointed out, Japan's
domestic civilian production was cut
to the bone. and the materials for
fair and beneficial exchange of
goods by export were eliminated,
creating the necessity for a to-
talitarian form of economics where

"But we can't stop here. Our

Of1cial figures on all of the Dis
