u. S.-Argentine Ties
Held Strengthened by
Good Neighbor Policy
Visiting Jurist, Novelist
Are Luncheon Guests
OF Stote Department

The good neighbor policy of the
United States has eliminated a lot
of friction between Argentina and
the United States, according to

and dramatist, at the Mayflower
Hotel yesterday, Judge Orgaz said
both Argentina and the United
States desire their peoples to realize
the ideals Of freedom in the broad
est sense.
Judge Orgaz is making a study
of law and the judicial system OF
the United States.
Mr.. Dickmann said he had been in
terpreting the literature of the
United States to his people for
years, through translations of nu-
merous North American books and
OF plays which had been presented
in Argentine theaters.
Referring to the spiritual power
Of Argentina and the United States,
Mr.. Dickmann said he hopes to learn,
through his trip through the United
States, whether the favorable ideas
he previously had of this country
were true: So far, he said he had
discovered conditions were much
better than he even dreamed they
were.
Charles A. Thomson, chief of the
Division of Cultural Relations of the
State Department, host at the
luncheon, praised the two guests as
sincere and loyal friends of the
United States He said he hoped
their visits would contribute to
sincere, frank and friendly under
standing between our two coun-
tries"

To Drown Out Axis
Planned by U. 5.
750,000-Wutt Units
To Be Set Up Soon
Near Cincinnati
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press,
A major change in American
propaganda policy was indicated
today following the announce
ment that a few powerful short
wave radio stations will be
equipped to broadcast through
out the world.
The new stations will be strong
enough to knock the radio off the
shelf in Italy Germany or Japan"
officials of the Crosley Corp, Cincin-
natl said.
Crosley's WLWO has been au-
thorized to install transmitters with
total power of 100000 watts. A
new battery of transmitters will be
set up near Cincinnati soon.
Heretofore, numerous, but weaker
short-wave stations have beamed
American propaganda to all other
points. Henceforth a few powerful
short-wave facilities will carry the
load. At least one of the new trans
mltters is expected to be in opera
ton within few weeks.
Crosley technicians said the new
transmltters would be more powerful
than anything in the world and
would be capable of drowning out
Berlin, Rome or Toxic.

Another German attempt to bomb
the big Russian ornaments center
at Gorki. $50 miles east of Moscow,
was made Thursday night but most
of the bombers were dispersed by
Russian fighters, and raiders which
did break through dropped bombs
haphazardly on dwellings, Tass said
1t added that seven German planes
were shot down
Important guerrilla successes in
repelling a German punitive ex-
pedition were reported meanwhile
in delayed dispatches.
The campaign, interpreted as part
OF the German preparation before
launching the 1943 offensive, has
resulted in bloody battles in Ger
man-held White Russia, the dis
patches said.
The Germans succeeded in push
ing the guerrillas back and cap
turing several populated places in
three days of savage fighting, but
the reports said the Russians sue
cessfully counterattacked, and in a
surprise smash forced the Germans
to retreat.
The reports said the guerrillas
were able to meet attacks from
tanks. artillery. armored trains and
planes by ambushes and surprise
flank attacks although they were
armed chiefly with rifles, machine
guns and hand grenades
The dispatches said some of the
Germans were permitted to advance
in long lines from three positions,
only to tumble into pits which the
Russians had dug and then COW
cred with grass and branches.
The capture of Pantelleria was
welcomed by the Russian people to-
day as rehearsal for still bigger
operations.

United States-Russia lease-lend

outcome is nearing. The alliance Of
