WASHINGTON, June 19.-Blamin5 "overconfidence and complacency' for the slackened war production in May, Undersecretary of War Patterson said if this situation con- tinues "our overseas troops will suffer shortages of critical equip ment in this most critical period of military supply" in a press conference.
 Patterson also deplored strikes in industry and diversion of manage ment talent to civilian non-essen- tials." At one point he mentioned the troubles encountered in fitting production lines to the changing strategic requirements. He struck this invasion of Europe note:
 The principal theater of opera tions cannot be shifted overnight from Africa to the mainland of Europe without drastic revisions of armament"

CITY COUNCIL
 SAYS PUBLIC
 RECORDS OPEN
CounCiImen Deem BlOffer as Private Daily
 Memo

Councilmen last night at the re- gular City Council meeting in City Hall discussed at length the En- pire's request to be permitted to see all public records including the daily police blotter and in reply gave notice that the public records in so far as arrests, fines and com plaints are concerned are open to the public as has always been the rule. This, however, did not include the police blotter which. according to them, is not public record but a private daily memo for the police departments exclusive use.
 Suggest Secret Record
 t was further stated that if The Empire obtains a court order which will allow reporters to have access to the daily police blotter for the purpose of printing usable items of news interest, that the police would then. according to M. E. Monagle, acting City Magistrate, keep two blotters, one to be shown to the public and the other to be used secretly by the police depart ment.
 As an argument Chief of Police John Monagle, said that during these times the City Police work directly with the FBI in many cases and if the Federal Bureau re- cords are not open to the public, he would deem it his duty not to have the police blotter open for inspec- ton. The blotter, he stated, is used by the police as a daily memo, showing the progress of a case or suspicious and if 1t were open for public inspection it would hinder

The W ashington Merry Go Round
By DREW PEARSON (Major Robert 8. Alien on active duty)

WASHINGTON. - inside fact about the Argentine revolution ls that it was planned for June 15 Furthermore, it was planned by pro-Democratic civilian elements friendly to the United States. In fact. it was even planned by certain Argentines who visited in this coun- try and conferred with U. $. of- ficials.
 However, reactionary Argentine army leaders, knowing what the civilians were up to, jumped the gun on them, seized the Govern ment ten days in advance.
 Actually U. s. officials, in an extremely delicate position. kept aloof from the civilian plans. They would not plot against Latin American government, even though that government had not be e n friendly.
 However, certain powerful Ar genuine leaders, who carry great weight with the masses of t h e people came to the United States and discussed plans to install a pro-American government which would break with the Axis imme- diately.
 Some observers wish U. s. offi- cials had taken definite part Tn these civilian revolt plans, despite international ethics. For the Argen- tine military government, even in revised form, has been a bitter disappointment However, to have egged on the revolt would have meant a revision of the Good Neigh bor policy. That policy has been to keep absolutely aloof from Latin American internal affairs, parti- cularly revolutions. Past experience has shown that mixing into Latin American politics leads to U. s Marines, and that, in turn, leads to ill-will.
