Argentina Promises
To Consider Break
With Axis Powers
BY ALLEN HADEN,.

Foreign Correspondent Of Ths Star and
the Chicaso Daily News.
BUENOs AIRES. July 0.-Argen-
tina proposes TO reconsider Its mo
break with the Axis' position.
1t may also take = more active
part in the promotion Of western
hemisphere solidarity and win give
increasing collaboration to the
Montevideo Committee for Political
Defense, in order to carry out the
joint wartime policy for the Amer.
icas. formulated In Rio de Janeiro
In January, 1942.
These moves were forecast this
week in q letter from Foreign Min
lister Segundo Storm TO DR. Alberto
GUAM. head OF the Montevideo COM
mittee, in which Senior Storm wrote
that the Argentine government Is
''singularly concerned with the
problem Of Argentine contributions
to continental security"
The letter, released Thursday for
publication, gives the first hint that
the new Argentine government,
hitherto vague about its future re-
lations with the Axis, may recast its
foreign policy.
1t states that an inter-ministerial
committee OF Argentines will be
charged with studying the possibil-
ity of new regulations in accordance
with the Montevideo committee s
recommendations, as well ~ pos
sible connections between resolu-
tions No. ! and No. II of the Rio
conference"
Resolution l calls for rupture of
relations with Axis nations. Res
olution II calls for determination
of all Axis subversive activities.
Foreign Minister Storm thus rec
ognizes by inference that Axis spy
ing with consequent danger to
American lives and Ships Is a basic
reason for breaking relations with
the Axis.
The new Argentine Inter Minis
terial Committee will be composed
of representatives OF all the Argen-
tine ministries, and its duty will be
to facilitate rapid consideration OF
the recommendations of the Monte
video Committee. which has its
headquarters in the Uruguaysn cap
! ital.
Senior Storm announced that Gull
lermo de Achaval would be the new
Argentine representative to the
Montevideo Committee with the
rank OF Minister. replacing Miguel
Angelchiappe, who had no minis
terial rank. He pointed out in this
letter that this increase in rank
showed Argentine collaborative in
terest in the hemisphere organiza-
ton.

Clio Assai|s Kaiser Rider
To Deficiency Measure
BY the Assoeis ted Press.

BY the Associated Press
The CLOS Executive Board has
condemned formally, as ''legalizing
collusive agreements and in
viting a wholesale establishment Of
company unions" Congress action
in decreeing that the National Labor
Relations Board shall not invalidate
any employer-employe agreement of
80 days standing.
That prohibition was made a rider
TO a S143 10000 deficiency bill now
awaiting the Presidents signature,
and its immediate effect is to freeze
the AF'L contracts with the Henry
Kaiser shipyards. The NLRB had
considered possible cancellation Of
these agreements after the CIO had
complained that they were entered
into when Mr.. Kaiser had few en-
ployes, and that therefore many of
his present thousands had no choice
of their collective bargaining rep

Majority Leader Barkley declared
that during the last l 1,28l days, Con-
gress has been in session / 1,26l. In
1899, he said, there was a brief re-
cess from August to September 81.
With this record" he continued,
Il feel that not only is the Congress
entitled to the brief recess We are
taking, but I think the country it
self would feel perfectly satisfied, in
view of the form of the concurrent
resolution, that no harm could come
to the country if Congress should
take recess of q couple OF months"
Subsidy Tactics Protested.
The final debate before the Sem
ate dropped its fight against food
subsidies was reminiscent Of the
battles that marked the session over
home front problems.
Senators George, Democrat. of
Georgia, and Tydings, Democrat, of
Maryland, protested against par
liamentary situation that put the
Senate in the position of reversing
its Tuesday ban on subsidies before
the House had a chance to say
whether it would take or reject the
Senates action.
1t was freely predicted in the de-
bate, however, that If the ban
stayed in the bill extending the lite
of the Commodity Credit Corp. the
President would again veto 1t, as he
did last week. And, since the House
was unable to muster two-thirds to
override the first veto, the only re-
suit OF Senate insistence would nave
been to postpone the recess indefi-
nitely, and possibly kill the CCC.

Several Big issues
Left Unsettled by
Recess Of Congress
ny ths As.ocia Press

By the Associated Press.
Departing lawmakers packed their
bags and started for home today.
but they left plenty of troubles be-
hind them to be reckoned with when
Congress reconvenes nine weeks
hence.
Stuffed in the unfinished business
file are half dozen issues likely to
generate considerable political light
ming while awaiting the legislators
return. The issues are:
Taxes-The Treasury wants $12.-
000, ,000, 900 in new revenues. but
few can agree where the money will
come from.
Subsidies-The food price roll
back program will go on. in the
absence of a definite congressional
prohibition against it, but the lease
on life given the Commodity Credit
Corp, subsidy dispenser, expires
January !.
Price control and rationing-This
issue is linked with that OF subsidies
but has many offshoots. as Demon
strated by proposals TO establish
food car, to transfer control over
gasoline to the petroleum admins
traitor for war and to force by legis-
lation a boost in the ceilings on
corn.
Army Size Disputed.
Manpower-The size OF the Army
still is disputed question. as are
the drafting of fathers. proposals to
reduce Federal civilian personnel
and suggestions for compulsory
manpower controls.
Economy-The urge to cut ex-
penditures has grown in Congress.
promises to edge over into the field
of military OUTLAWS where several
committees plan to hunt for waste
and extravaganza.
Postwar commitments-Action will
be demanded by mid-October on
statement of congressional policy
indicating how far this Nation in
tends to go toward international
collaboration after hostilities end.
Those are the big issues. In ad-
dition there viii be plenty of side
controversies to occupy the return
ing members Of Congress, such as
projected investigations of the Board
of Economic Warfare, demands for
reorganization of bureaus and in
dubitably some thinly disguised po-
litical maneuvering for position be-
fore the 1874 election campaigns.
Vandenberg Sees "Housecleaning."
The Republicans, still confident
that the 1912 treno which gave them
victories in unexpected places is
holding, probably will be spelling
for a fight. The Democrats hope
| for more peace on the home front.
Those were the points of view that
seemed to be reflected by statements
OF Senate Majority Leader Barkley
and Senator Vandenberg. Repub-
/ lican. of Michigan. reviewing the
! turbulent session just ended.
! There have been some disagree
ments on domestic policy" Senator
Bsrkley told reporters, but on the
whole the positive and constructive
legislation that has been enacted
has been sucn as to reassure the
country that Congress is for an all
out prosecution OF the war"
Senator Barkley said he did not
look for much controversy when
Congress returns, but Senator VAN
denberg looked for a "houseclean-
ing"
THE Republicans inevitably must
be given substantial credit for the
housecleaning that has occurred in
good many directions, as well az
the necessary disciplining of the
President by Congress" he de-
clared.

NEW YORK, July 9.-The Ma

eral to invoke the sedition laws
against John L. Lewis, described in
the resolution as IAN enemy pro-
noting a program designed to de-
stroy the American way of life"
In another resolution adopted re-
lating to Mr.. Lewis, president Of the
United Mine Workers, the union
convention urged the miners to
weed out of their ranks those ele-
ments who, under the leadership of
John l.. Lewis, are aligned with the
sppeasers and home front busters
and place their enmity to the Presi-
dent and his war policies above the
interest Of the country and the
miners union and the welfare of its
members"
At the opening session, Joseph
Curran, NMU president, read a letter
in which President Roosevelt ex-
pressed appreciation for the ere
affirmation of your no-strike pledge
for the duration"
The men who sail our ships are
doing splendid job throughout the
world" the President said in the
letter. "and I feel sure they will
continue 20 give their best efforts
to the earliest possible conclusion
of the world wide struggle"
The President added that he ap-
proved the announced cardinal
purpose of this convention-'to dis
cuss ways and means to make our
contribution to the war effort even
greater than it is now
Two other resolutions were adopt
ed by the union One requested the
State Department to review denial
of passports to union members who,
the resolution stated fought Fas-
cism in Ethiopia. Spain and China. "
