Steps Out After Storm of Criticism Induced by :
 Hull Statement

BUENOS AIRES, Sept 1.-The resignation of Foreign Minister Storni, closely following his un- successful bid for lend-lease aid from the United States, has re- move from the Argentina govern ment one of it's most strongly pro- Allied members.
 Storni submitted his resignation last night to President Ramirez under a barrage of criticism from the Nationalist press which took the view that he exposed Argentina to open rebuke from the United States.
 The Foreign Minister has been under fire since the announcement from Washington that Secretary of State Cordell Hull had rejected his request for lease-lend aid on the ground that Argentina had failed to dc her share in protecting the Western Hemisphere from aggres- sion.

EISENHOWER
 SAYS HOME
 RUN NEEDED
By CLARK LEE Representing Combined American NeWsDaDerS

WITH GENERAL EISENHOWER ADVANCED ALLIED COMMAND POST, Sept. live are playing the Big Leagues You can't hit home run by bunting. You have to step up there and take your cut at the ball
 In those words General Dwight D. Eisenhower explained why the Allies decided upon an all-out in- vasion of Italy rather than by att tacking other stepping stones such as Sardinia, Corsica and Crete.
 General Eisenhower told me on the eve of the invasion, "The time has come to discontinue nibbling at the islands, and to hit the Germans where it hurts. I don't believe in fighting battles to chase someone out of somewhere, Our object is to trap and smash the enemy"
 The Germans avoided being trap ped in Sicily and got a good share of their forces out, but if Eisen- hover is successful in the present invasion the Nazis won't get out of Italy without heavy losses.

The W ashington Merry Go Round
By DREW PEARSON ,ss,or Robert 8. Allen on active dutyJ

WASHINGTON-A new Repnph- can candidate for President ot the limited States has bobbed up in the midwest recently. He IS Wneeier McMillen, editor of the Farm Jour nal, owned by Pennsylvania mon jed political boss, Joe Pew.
 MT. McNIillen has been making the rounds of Indiana, Nebraska, Iowa and the corn belt as an open and avowed candidate for the He- publican nomination. His reception has been one of surprised specula- tion. Since MT. McMillen obviously has no chance of getting anywhere, if is presumed that COPS anti Willkie Joe Pew sent him out as decoy to attract farm votes away from Willkie and generally to con- fuse the issue.
 However, one interesting thing turned up about MT. McMillen Tn Indiana. He is the president of the Chemurgic Council, which aims to promote the use of agricultural products in industry.
 However, when Senator Gillette of Iowa led a brilliant crusade for the use of alcohol from grain in making synethetic rubber, McMillen strangely enough took strong position that rubber should be made exclusively from petroleum, not from grain products CMcMillen's boss Joe Pew of Sun Oil is one Of the biggest oil men in the country and is operating an oil syntnetic rubber plant for the governmental
 So when McMillen put himself Tn the position of working against the use of farm products in industry, outraged Hassel Scheneck, head ol the Farm Bureau in Indiana, called for his resignation as president or the Chemurgic Council This bop- bed up to haunt Mir. McMillen on his tour through Indiana recently.

Helena, Montana
Dear Sir:
Gambling in Butte has been open
and closed many times, since John
Bonner closed it in 1871, but right
now the gamblers are in the best of
spirits, as they figure they are to run
unmolested for the balance of the
Ford administration.
OuC VI Tic lldl6lnlIJ lHlOl HlCu IliC
that a deal was made whereby the
gamblers by putting up enough cash
to take care of the deficit at Warm
Springs and Boulder, would be allow
ed to operate for the balance of this
administration.
Gambling bills have been introduced
at every session of the legislature as
far back as | can remember, but none
of them were even seriously consid-
cred, so it appears that the voters of
Montana do not desire open gambling.
At the present time there are more
slot machines operating than ever be-
fore in history, some of them located
in outlying stores, where children are
allowed and encouraged to play.
The slot machine kings, travel to
and fro, in their large automobiles
with A, B and c gas ration cards. OF
course the operating of these ma
chimes is very essential to our war
effort
While us miners are trying to Sc
cure enough meat, to have two sand
wiches in our buckets, one of these
gambling houses serves steaks to in
dividuals that are large enough to
feed miners family.
We all realize that the state of Mon
tana should take the best of care of
the poor unfortunates who are con-
fined in our state institutions, but we
do not believe that the state should
be prostituted by selling out to an
gang of law breakers.
AS | have to make a living in this
community l assure you it would not
be healthy for my name to appear as
author of this communication, but an
will verify every state
ment | have made.
Hoping you have space to publish
this communication, remain
A BUTTE MINER.
