The author contends that the
geography of country has two i'm

setting the scene and the other pro-
viding the medium of expression for
the characters Accuracy in re-
search in these matters is of para
mount Importance, she says, be-

Tells of Growing
Unity of Americas

An ever-growing spirit of friend
illness and unity between the United
States and the republic of Uruguay
was visualized by the Ambassador
from that country, Dr.. Juan Carlos
Blanco, IN brief address yesterday
The Ambassador, who was guest
OF honor and speaker at the weekly
luncheon of the Zonta Club at the
YWCA, told how the war had
brought his country closer to the
United States through common OBJ
jectives and through trade.
Although Uruguay, a nation of
but 5000, 900 persons, cannot make
a very large contribution to the
United Nations war effort, what she
has to give is sent gladly to the
fighting forces of Uncle Sam and
her allies, DR.. Blanco declared.
I'VE are shipping large quanti-
ties of wool and beef both to the
United States and to England he
said. The shipments are small
compared to the needs, but every
little helps" he added.
Tribute to Women.
High tribute was paid by the
Ambassador to American women
as we'll as to the women of Uruguay.
In Uruguay, American women are
both known and admired" he said,
"for it is recognized that with their
education, their ethical principles,
their activities in sports and their
intelligence, they represent an ideal
force of the future"
Dr. Blanco told of the progress
siveness of the women of his
country who, he declared. "are the
best exponent Of the high civiliza-
ton we have attained"
In their recent national elections,
a woman was elected to the Sem
ate and two to the House of Rep
resentatives," he added.
Uruguay's loyalty to the cause of
the United Nations was expressed
by DR.. Blanco in definite terms.
MY compatriots are hoping for
the triumph of the United States"
he said, land I believe I am not
being too optimistic in thinking
that, thanks to the armed forces
of the United States and its allies,
the final victory is nearer today
that 1t was yesterday, and tomorrow
1t will be even nearer"
Looks to Future.
Concluding with a note Of opti-
mism, the Ambassador said he ex-
pected that the pleasant sea trips
Of peacetimes between New York
and Montevideo would soon re-
turn with ships even larger and
faster. The good neighbor feet will
once more plow through the seas,
men. women, ideals, senti-
ment, and romance without end"

Farmer
Draft Vote
Postponed

WASHINGTON, Feb. 26 lINSl.-
The Senate military affairs COM
mittee today postponed until Mon
day action on the Bankhead bill
to halt the draft Of farm labor.
The postponement was sought by
some members TO obtain reports
from the army, navy and selec-
tive service.
At the same time il was dis
closed that War Manpower Com
missioner Paul V. McNutt favorS
deferment of farm labor. McNutt,
however, told an appropriations
subcommittee that the TydingS
amendment and Selective service
regulations already accomplished
this purpose.
Secretary of Agriculture Wick
ard told the House agriculture
/ committee, meanwhile. that he
would also have no objection 10
legislation en- ding the draft of
/ farmers.
Wickard was deluged with pro-
tests from members of the COM
mittee as he began his testimony.
+ Congressman uniformly claimed
that draft boards are still taking
farmers unfortunately despite
the passage last year of an amend
mCnt 10 the Selective Service Act
giving fl e the right to defer
skilled farm labor.
II think that temporarily at
least we ought 10 defer all farm
labor. skilled and otherwise,
until we can get the work DONE"
Wickard agreed.
Wickard came in for some criti-
ciSm because an order sending
troops to Arizona 10 help harvest
cotton had been Withdrawn by him.
He explained that he told army
leaders he did not believe an "ex-
IRENE emergency existed in the
cotton fields because the Farm Sc
curity Administration had sent
migrant cotton pickers into the
area. He added that he did not
believe troops should be used for
farm work except in extreme
emergency cases.

DATED SINCE WAR

The report recommended pas
sage by the House of the Disney
bill. which would repeal the salary
limit as an overall government
policy. The bill would confine the
limit 10 salaries raised above the
level of $4,000. after taxes, since
The date OF Pearl Harbor--Dec. Z,
ll94l.
The committee admitted that,
in addition. the Disney salary
limit provision would "unfreeze'
all salaries up 10 limit of $50, 900
after taXeS-in other words, that
increases in salaries up TO gross
Of SGT 200 before taxes would be
permitted.
The only restrictions would be
the provisions of existing revenue
law under which the treasury
Exercises a strong restraint on
salaries by disallowing deduction
OF excessive salaries from taxable
Income.
In the executive order of last
October 3 imposing the $4,000
net salary limit, the President
tfroze wages ana salaries at the
levels prevailing on last Septem-
Der Is. allowing increases only
where circumstances warrant.
SALARY CONTROL
The WLB was given control
over wages and lower bracket
salaries and the treasury was
given authority over h s h r
salaries.
The committee said the Disney
salary limit provision recognizes
the Importance TO the American
way of life of preserving incentive
by not prescribing salary increases
where the salary is less than $751;
900 after taxes"
Representative McGranery Cd

the Disney salary limit provision
would unfreeze all wages as well
