CAMPAIGN UNDER WAY
TO SALVAGE FATS

A campaign to salvage one and
half to two pounds of household fats
every month from the kitchen of ev-
cry family in the state, was announ
ced by the local salvage committee.
The local program, and the nation
wide drive of which it is part, will
continue "for the Duration" to keep
munitions industries supplied with
glycerine used in making explosives.
Many housewives already have
Started saving fats and greases. The
committee announced that meat mar
kets will be used as collection de-
pots, paying cents per pound for
fats. The markets will be repaid by
renderers, who will provide pickup
service to butchers. Renderers will
ship the fats, after rendering, to in
dustries which need them.
Housewives should strain fats into
wide-mouth tins and should not save
fats in glass containers, the COM
mittee said.
Housewives who do not wish to
make money out of their kitchen-fat
salvage should accept payment from
the markets and invest the money in
War Stamps, Elmer j. Nelson, exc
cutive secretary of the state salvage
committee, suggests.
Besides launching the fats drive,
the salvage committee is continuing
its appeal for bags and sacks needed
at once for harvesting Washington
crops Flour, sugar and onion sacks,
potato bags and fuel sacks are need
ed. They will be accepted by any
salvage agency and sent to recondi-
tioning plants.

By the Associated Press.

BALTIMORE, May 81. - Gov.
O'Conor yesterday issued a procla-
nation providing that Marylanders
in the armed services may vote by

tions this year.
The Governor said the Army and
Navy had agreed to help distribute
the ballots, which will be sent to
about 10000 Maryland soldiers,
sailors, marines and nurses who
were granted absentee voting privi-
leges.
A similar vote-by-m system was
tried in 1918, but only few took
advantage Of it,
A clearing house through which

will be established by Maj. Gen.
Milton A. Reckord, Sd Corps Area

Guard.
The Governor said he believed

the voting privilege"
Servicemen receiving ballots will
be eligible to vote in the Septem-
ber primaries and the November
general election.

Labor Racket Curb
Advocates Study
Wage-Hour Rider
Wisdom Of Seeking House
Vote on Wartime
Controls Pondered
By the Associated Press

By the Associated Press.
Congressional advocates of re-
strictive labor legislation studied
today the possibility-and wisdom
of attempting to gain a House vote
on wartime wage and hour controls
when it considers bill making labor
unions liable to prosecution under
the 1884 notwithstanding Act.
One Southern Representative, ac-
tive in the fight for showdown on
the issue, said he was exploring the
parliamentary technicalities of the
subject to find out whether an at
tempt to broaden the measure to
include wage and hour restrictions
could be blocked on points of order
The bill, setting up stiff penalties
for interference with interstate
commerce, was approved by the
House Judiciary Committee yester-
day over the opposition of spokes-
men for the American Federation
of Labor and the Congress of In
dustrial Organizations.
Opposes Loading Bill Down.
Representative Smith, Democrat,
of Virginia, author of several bills
to curtail union activity during the
emergency, declared he was opposed
to jeopardizing the chances of the
measure by loading it down" with
any additional labor legislation.
Representative Smith, member
of the Rules Committee, also ex-
pressed belief that any attempt to
broaden the bill through riSers
covering wages or hours would be
thrown out on the ground that they
were not germane to the Anti
Racketeering Act.
The newly-approved measure was
drafted by Representative Hobbs,
Democrat, of Alabama. While it
does not mention labor unions as
such, he said that it was designed
to offset a recent Supreme Court
ruling that unions were beyond the
scope of the 1884 act. That ruling
was handed down in a New York
teamsters' case.
Backed by Farm SpOkesmen.
Farm group spokesmen urged the
bills approval, contending that
union agents, especially in the New
York area, had compelled drivers of
trucks carrying farm produce to
employ union men to help them
unload and in some cases had seized
the trucks or their contents.
Highway robbery" said Repre-
sentative Hobbs, sis highway robbery
whether the perpetrator holds
union card or not
To meet the situation, the COM
mittee wrote in a clause declaring:
Whoever, in any way or degree
obstructs, delays or affects COM
merce, or the movement of any
article or commodity in commerce,
by robbery, shall be guilty OF a
felony"
simultaneously, 1t defined extor-
ton as "the obtaining of property
from another, with his consent, in
duced by wrongful use of actual or
threatened force, violence, or fear,
or under color of official right"
A maximum penalty of 10 years
imprisonment and a $4,000 fine
would be set up under terms Of the
legislation.

Argentine Minister
Pledges 10 Keep Cool
And Neutral in War
Spanish Mission Told
Country Is Bridgeheod
For Trade With Europe
BY the Associated Press.

oy VIC ASooCldtco TTcSo.
BUENOS AIRES, May 27.-For-
eign Minister Enrique Ruiz GuinaZu
told a Spanish trade mission last
night that Argentina, like Spain, is
determined to keep cooP and neu-
trail in world at war and described
his government as bridgehead in
America for trade with Europe "at
any cost"
At the same time, Roberto Ortiz
ailing and inactive President of Ar
gentina, in reply to President Roose-
velt's Independence Day message OF
Monday, said yesterday that Argen-
tina shares the same feeling of the
other American nations about the
war:
Its reaction before any unfair
aggression must be and will always
be one of frankest reputation and
complete solidarity"
Negotiations Begin Today.
President Roosevelt also addressed
a message Monday to Acting Presi-
dent Ramon S. Castillo, whose gov
ernment maintains relations with
the Axis nations.
Ruiz Guinazu spoke at a state
dinner for Eduardo Aunos and other
members of the mission which be-
gins formal negotiations with Ar
gentine officials today on large
scale exchanges of Argentine agri-
cultural products for Spanish ores
and shipping services.
Ruiz Guinazu said Argentina was
determined to maintain cordial re-
lations with Spain, which he called
a material implement" of COM
munication with Europe, and de-
clared I'VE will not allow any ex-
traneous factor to weaken this
firm determination.
Europe Needs Raw Materials.
Europe needs now and perhaps
will yet need for a long time our
essential raw materials" the For
eign Minister said. "It needs, above
all, to keep in close touch with
America to gauge the effects of her
age-old civilization in the untitled
lands which received it four cen
turies ago.
Hence it is Of vital Importance
to have both American and Euro
pean nations which know how to
keep cool and at peace in the
tumult of clashing passions. ." ="
