Crisis in Argentine
Cabinet Reported in
Lease-Lend Case
BY the Associated Press.


MONTEVIDEO, Uruguay, Sept. 8.
The Buenos Aires correspondent
OF the Montevideo newspaper Ell Pals
said today that the suspension of
the only newspaper in the Argen-
tine capital to comment on the
United States refusal to grand lease
lend aid to Argentina had provoked
a crisis within the cabinet of Gen.
Pedro Ramirez.
The correspondent said the news
paper Noticias Graficas had been
suspended for an indefinite period
after it had commented editorially
in its fifth edition yesterday in favor
OF the United States refusal of lease
lend supplies and attack on the pro-
Axis policy of the Ramirez govern
ment.
The action was taken, Ell Pals said,
even though Vice Admiral Segundo
r. Storm, foreign minister, had an
nounced the newspapers would be
free to express their opinions on the
exchange of letters between Mr..
Storm and Secretary of State Hull
which was published Tuesday.
The government wanted, the cor
respondent said, to submit the
whole question to kind of edi-
torial plebiscite, but most publish
ers abstained from comment be-
cause, nearly unanimous in support
Of Mr. Hulfs stand. they feared to
express their opposition to the mill
tary authorities.
Noticias Graficas said in its edi-
torial yesterday that with or with
out purpose, with full knowledge or
not. the Argentine government. ere
ated June 4. has not followed the
feelings and hopes of the country
In the matter of international

LONDON Feb 6--Premier Ben ito Mussolini's abrupt dismissal oi his son. Jaw, Count Ciano, as Foreign Minister through shake up of his Cabinet, is seen as the move of cornered man who is desperate.

 Mussolini ordered the mobiliza- ton for war industry of all men between the ages of IA and TO and all women between the ages of l4 and 50.
 Only three ministers retained their posts in the swift shake-up yesterday.

NAzICA|N5 REPORTED
 IN TUNISIA
A. p. Correspondent Says Large Axis Army Is
 in Africa Now
lBy Associated Press

The German radio reported in Tunisia today that British and Am erican troops launched waves of attacks on Axis strong points southwest of Pont du Fans, 3t miles below Tunis, where the AL lies tore small breaches in the German lines.
 The German report said the at tacks were repulsed.
 Officials at Allied headquarters, meanwhile, disclosed that a Ger man counterattack, sprung in the face of weather so bad that aerial activity was virtually suspended, forced Allied troops to relinquish their hold on the strategic height of Djebel Mansour, 20 miles south west of Pont du Fans.
 Captured Wednesday
 The British captured this height Hill 648, in an action reported last Wednesday.
 The see saw struggle for the hill, six miles southeast of the British base at Bou Arada, is part of campaign to take all yi- tai passes through the mountain range running parallel to the Axis supply line along the coast.
 At the same time. lull was reported in the eastern area where Montgomery's British Eighth Army has penetrated into Tunisia. Only patrol activity was reported.
 Large NaM Force
 Wes Gallagher, Associated Press correspondent in Tunisia. said that in the past few weeks, Axis forces in Tunisia have swelled to vet eran army of perhaps 10000. The Allied army, he said, is probably consideraly less"
 Moreover, Gallagher added, fully one-third of the German Air Force apparently is massed in the Medi- terranean for a showdown battle. Another advantage is that the Axis has shorter supply lines.

 Ceilings

SEATTLE, Feb. 6-The lon g arm of the U. S.

 The warning letters were sent cut by the Alaska OPA office.
 The violations charged against the 25 merchants include charging higher than ceiling prices, failing to post ceiling prices so that cus- toners can see them readily. and failing to submit cost of living re- ports to the OPA in Juneau.
 Letters First Step
 The Alaska OPA office said the warning letters are the first step in a proceeding which may end in the offending merchants licenses to do business being revoked.

THIS IS WI5HFUL
 SINKING
Japs Send Our Ships Down NilelY-But Just on
 Paper
(By Associated Press)

The Japanese, who several times have destroyed most of the United States Navy on paper, are quoted by the Berlin radio as saying Am erican losses in the Solomons to date include:
 Six battleships, four aircraft car- riers, 34 cruisers, 21 destroyers, sev- eral submarines and minelayers.
 This report, similar to previous fantastic Jap claims, did not spe- cify the length of time in which the sinkings occurred. Needless to say, there was no confirmation of the broadcast which Associated Press recorded.
 On the contrary, Navy spokes- man yesterday characterized as grossly exaggerated the i'm S which the Japs put forth Monday.

Write Congressman If You Don'i Agree
 Win Him; Be Briel
By JACK sTINNETT

WASHINGTON, Feb. 6. - From time to time in these columns, l have advised: "If you don't agree, write your Congressman Perhaps have done both Congress and readers an injustice in not laying down a few basic rules.
 Some Congessmen justifiably go berserk over the letters they receive. One recently received letter writ ten in almost undecipherable long hand on two sides of 110 pages of legal-size stationery. On page 68, he gave up and doesn't yet know what his constituent was complaining about.
 On the positive side, there are many things your Congressman can and is glad to do for you. He can supply you with information, in pamphlet form, if not personally, about almost all the problems that are arising out of this war-ration- ing, victory gardening, Selective Service, Civilian Defense, how to go about getting commissions in the armed forces, how to obtain citi- zenShip, what to do about obtaining government jobs under civil service, and a thousand other things.
 He welcomes your opinions on wartime Legislator, or matters con- sidered controversial. And if you have legitimate business that merits your coming to Washington he can make appointments for you-pro- vided you let him know far enough in advance.
 If you really want to get your communication considered by your Representative or Senator, here are some good rules;
 State your case briefly and sim ply. If you are mad or glad, state your reasons-but quickly. Whom you know, who your relations are, ] even what party you belong to isn't of much importance. If you are a bigwig in your community, your Congressman probably knew your name before you knew his.

Ask yourself: How would I vote if were representing the majority of the voters in my dis trict? Or, why couldn't conscienti- ously vote that way? Settle that with yourself before you write a line. But just because you perhaps belong to the minority, don't think that your opinion isn't welcome or that it won't be given full consid- (Continued on Page Threey

Some Details of Big Fight Near GudddICdnal
 Released
By CHARLES McMURTY Associated Press Writer

AN ADVANCED BASE IN THE SOUTH PACIFIC, Feb. 6. The Japs lost at least IT Mitsubishi twin -engined torpedo planes in a spectacular attack against a Unit ed States task force week ago
 The attack occurred 30 miles south of Guadalcanal.
 One of the planes was filled with so much steel when it speed ed in for strafe attack after dropping a torpedo that it almost exploded on a U. s. ship, missing the bow by only 10 feet. It crashed into the sea where it burned so furiously for four min utes, silhouetting the ship, that the officers and men were much worried for fear that the flare would make the craft a spectacu- lar target.
