AMAZING ARGENTINE
 INTRIGUE

Meanwhile, the story of what is happening in Argentina continues to be the most amazing of the war. Few people realize that the most pro- Nazi nation outside of occupied Europe has developed right under the wing of our Good Neighbor policy.
 There is a strong censorship in Argentina. Any newsman who writes what is really happening IS kickeo out of the country. sometimes beat en up by gangsters. But pieced to- gether from diplomatic dispatches from reports of returned diplomats and from the underground, here is a closeup picture of what is hap pening.
 The former government of aged President Castillo was conservative, isolationist but somewhat pro-Am- erican, and leaned increasingly to- ward the United States as it be- came apparent that the war was sure to go in our favor. I
 Then suddenly, a clique of Ar genuine Army officers seized power. This was on June 4, one month after we had triumphed in Tunisia, several months after the tide of

The w ashington Merry Go Round
By DREW PEARSON t1a,or Robert .. Allen on active duty.)

WASHINGTON = Some extremely important conferences have been taking place between the State De- partment and the Treasury which the public doesn't know about but which may influence our whole pol icy on the South American contln- ent for years to come.
 Briefly summarized, these con- ferences involve the question of whether the United States should crack down on Argentina. Specifi- cally, they involve the question of whether we should permit Argen- tina to sneak her gold out of this country and continue to use her credit in U. s. banks to pay OH Nazi agents in the U. s. A.
 Actually, they also involve the broader question of whether gang of pro-Nazi Argentine Army offl- cers. educated in Germany, should be permitted to continue to thumb their noses at the U. 5. A., While every other Latin American coun- try anxious to be friendly with this country is amazed that we let them get away with it.
 During these State Department conferences, a battery of Treasury officials has argued vigorously that we must crack down on Argentine finances. A coterie of diplomats has sat around MT. Hull's desk, most of them arguing to the contrary. The Secretary of State himself swings his black -ribboned pince-nez glasses and listens. So far, nothing has happened.

Soviets Liberafe 500 Towns in NeveI Area-Near
 Polish Border

LONDON, Dec 20. -- The Red Army smashed the southern anchor of Hitlers Russian front, forcing the Germans to retreat from their Kherson' bridgehead at the lower extremity o fthe Dnieper River, the Berlin radio acknowledged, while to the north powerful Soviet units are pouring through the collapsed Nazi defenses of the Nevel sector in a new offensive which surged to within 57 miles of the Latvian bor- der.
 The loss of the Kherson bridge head left the Germans without a good defense short of the Bug Ri- yer 30 miles to the rear on the way to Odessa. The German broadcast said the crossing of the Dnieper was achieved without any loss de- spite the drift of heavy ice"
 Sixth Day Of Drive
 The big Russian drive in the north is now in the sixth day, and they have already overrun 500 vil- lages and hamlets. Russian tanks, cavalry and white robed ski troops are smashing forward toward Po- lotsk. key rail junction near the old Polish and Latvian frontiers.
 Berlin estimated that 250,000 Rus sian troops are engaged in this of fensive.
 S0viet's Drive
 The Soviets drove up to the mouth of the Dnieper early in Mo- vember during the height of the offensive which walled off the northern outlets to the Crimea and at one time claimed to be holding the entire eastern bank of the Dnieper.
 The Germans, however, asserted they still hold the bridgehead on the eastern bank across from the town of Emerson on the west side of the stream. The Nazis also hold a bridgehead farther up the stream near Nikopol.

Daylight Raid Being Made Toddy-Innsbruek, Augs-

LONDON, Dec. 20. American heavy bombers struck from the west the much battered northwest Ger many at daylight today in a quick follow-up of Mediterranean based Allied heavy bomber assault on Inns bruck and Augsburg, 20 miles north west of Munich, on the Brenner Pass route.
 Big American planes, escorted by a fleet of fighters, again renewed the assault on the favorite recent targets of Hitler's U-boat nests and ship building ports on the North Sea- Specific targets are not nam ed immediately.
 Yesterdays blow was the first in a one-two punch on German in- dustry from the west and south and they were made through fierce fight CT opposition. The Germans threw up more than 100 planes in a futile attempt to halt the Liberator and Flying Fortress formations winging in from the south. Seven attackers were downed and g others probably destroyed to the loss of Is Mediter ranean based Allied planes during the days operations. Some of the missing Allied fliers are believed to have landed in friendly territory.
 .'The Innsbruck railway yards were subjected to great and ac- curate bombardment," says the AL lied communique.
