riously injured at Tottori by Japan's
most severe earthquake in 10 years.
The Domei broadcast was heard in

If all the fund requests of all
District departments and services
for the next fiscal year are
approved finally by Congress
which is not regarded as likely
the total expenditures would
run to SGT ,230 900, or about &c.
100000 more than so far appro-
priated for the present year.
However, the spread between the
new requests and this years appro-
priations is not as great as appears
on the surface since the District Is
accruing an extra obligation this
year for the legislated wartime pay
increases and overtime, which is to
be covered by deficiency bill. This
would cut the proposed increase for
next year down to about $6600,O0O.
Nevertheless, the proposed outlay
would be the highest budget the
District ever has had, If approved,
and, in fact, the original requests
are the highest ever proposed, Of

Cabinet Crisis Shakes
Argentina in Wake OF
Lease-Lend Refusal
Full Responsibility for
Letter to Washington
Is Assumed by Storm
By the Associated Press.

BUENOS AIRES, Sept. IL
Former Foreign Minister Sc
gundo r. Storm announced to-
night that he assumed full
responsibility for a letter to
Secretary of State Hull, asking
lease LEND aid from the United
States, which drew from Mr..
Hull a rebuke and precipitated
an Argentine cabinet crisis.
(Radio reports from Chile said
the cabinet crisis had exploded
into an internal revolt with Gen.
Pedro Ramirez, chief of the gov
eminent, ousted by a military
junta. The Buenos Aires radio,
In broadcast recorded by the
Associated Press, later denied re-
ports circulating abroad" that
the Ramirez regime was threat
ened by COUP
Storm said he had accepted re-
sponsibility in letter addressed to
Ramirez. He said the wide roper
cussions" of his letter to Mr.. Hull
had motivated his resignation earlier
this week, which followed closely
publication of Mr.. Hull's sharply
worded rejection of the request for
lease lend. Storm said his letter
had been confidential" and that
he did not expect it would be given
publicity.
Hoped for Better Reception
II wrote my letter to Mr.. Hull in
good faith and according to my
modest knowledge and understand
ing" Storm said. Il had hoped for
better reception"
The "repercussions" to which
Storm referred were a cabinet re-
shuttle forced by renewed attacks
by pro-Allied elements on the
Ramirez Governments neutrality
policy.
Gen. Ramirez issued a proclama-
ton tonight saying that his gov
ernment's line of conduct would be
maintained with a firmness which
corresponds to the dignity of the
Argentine nation"
This proclamation followed 48
hours of rumors concerning the
stability of the government, and a
sharp attack on Storm by the pro-
Axis morning paper Cabildo.
Ramirez Receives Officers.
Ramirez conferred with 300 high
ranking army and navy officers
who called on him. and were said
to have expressed their confidence
in his administration.
Gen. Ramirez's proclamation said
Argentina's historic traditions of
peace, work and justice cannot be
disparaged nor furnished by con-
fidential expressions of any official.
ITO think the contrary" he said,
is to overlook the permanent
values for the transitory ones.
THE sentiments of American
solidarity are more than sufficient
to dissipate whatever doubt which
might tarnish those sacred senti-
ments."
Claims Solidarity.
Ramirez said that other American
nations should have the certainty"
of knowing that our nation is firm
ly united in their destinies."
The rejection of the bid for aid
was based by Mr.. Hull on the
grounds that Argentina was not do
ing its share in the protection of
the Americas and that it had failed
to live up to commitments to break
relations with the Axis.
Senior Storm was replaced yester-
day by Minister of the Interior Al
berto Gilbert, who will serve as act
ing foreign minister.

By the Associated Press.

LONDON, Sept. 1.-THE Ger
mans claimed today to have con-
solidated their position in Upper
Italy, the Balkans and Southern
France, and asserted that more
than 100000 men of the Italian
Army already had surrendered
their arms to Nazi troops.
"a broadcast German press
dispatch intercepted by Allied
headquarters in North Africa
indicated the Germans not only
are disarming italian soldiers,
but are transporting them to
Germany, presumably for forced

Nazf troops are proceeding "in an

VINO Moves To
Ease Freeze Order
Labor Management F arm
Group Tentatively Ap-
proves Plan

Washington. "A step to ease the
rigid application of regulations re-
stricting wage increases and job
changes in n. large section of the
United States was taken when the
Labor Management Agricultural Com
mittee of the War ManpOwer Commits
sion unanimously approved a tentative
plan to meet some objections made by
labor organizations.
The tentative proposal was to put in
effect countrywide employment sta
biliZation as it is now achieved by vol
untafy agreement in some places. The
new program would apply to every
locality except those sixty-seven cities
and areas where such voluntary agree
ments are not yet in effect.
= BY providing national stabiliZatiOn
plan workers may transfer from essen-
tial TO essential industries at higher
pay. Hitherto, under the reglla tons
made public recently by Paul V. Nc
Mutt, WMC chairman, such migration
ut higher rates of pay was limited to
the movement of essential men in areas
where voluntary wage stabilizatioll
agreement had been adopted by labor
and nagement. ~
In the nOn-stabilizatiOn areas the
VINO regulations forbade movement
of men from one essential industry or
occupation to another even if such
movement aided prosecution of the
war.
The new plan was tentatively ap-
proved by the LabOrManagement-
Agricultural Sterilization Committee
after series Of protests against the
regulations had been made by organ
lied labor.
If the VINO approves the proposal.
it will be put into effect at once, but
efforts will not be delayed in further
ing the formulation of specific volun-
tary stabilizatiOn agreements in the
cities not now covered.
The temporary plan will call for
issuance of Il certificatiOn of separa-
tiOn by employers or by the United
States Employment Service in the in
stance of employees who may wish to
transfer to new jobs for higher pay,
provided the transfer is in the interest
of the war effort.

Guced-or should | say seduced-to
appropriate over $26,O00,OO0, to re
cruit, train CD. transport and allo-
cate emergency farm workers
The whole situation is regarded as
nothing short of ridiculous.
''In the first place, the matter of
providing ample farm help is held 10
be Il comparatively simple matter. 1t
could easily be done on Il strictly vol
untaTy basis, according to competent
observers, with n necessary eNpendi-
ture of about /26th of the amount
being appropriated-that is to say, for
about million, instead of 26 million
dollars.
Fund Seen Ridiculous
Just how ridiculous this situation
is may be realized better when it is
compared with the total budget for all
divisions of the United States Depart
ment of Labor for the current fiscal
year That total budget is around
$3.0OO,OOO LESS than is being appro-
priated merely to recruit ii few farm
hands for emergency service only.
The total Department of Labor
budget for this fiscal year is only SD,
935,OOO," Dennis revealed. "Of that
amount, about T. million dollars is
earmarked for use as grants To the
various states. leaving around $13,OOO,-
600 for all work of all the various i'm
portant divisions of the Department of
Labor-or Approximately half of the
amount being appropriated TO furnish
emergency farm help.
THAT S26,OOOOOO will afford II lot
of gravy for the faithful; and, un-
fortunately, it will enable II lot of able
bodied men to avoid service in the
armed forces, where they would un-
queStionably be of far greater value
in the prosecution of the war.
Politicians To Benefit
BESIDES that, of course, many people
believe that the Department Of Labor
should be the agency to recruit all
labor, instead of farming it out, piece
meal, to political setups. But 1t aDpea rs

where the pickins are good and the
harvest rich in political aggrandize-
ment.
The Bureau of Agricultural Eco
nomics, another efficient group, part of
the Department of Agriculture, says
the farm labor supply is now steady,
but employment continues at II low
level.
