Bishop Dun Appeals
For Neighbor|iness
HIN War Fund Drive

The Right Rev. Angus Dun, Bish-
op of washington, last night called
on about lao members OF the Speak
ers' Bureau OF the Community War
Fund to invoke the spirit Of "true
community" in the coming cam
paign.
/ He delivered the principal ad-
dress at dinner at the YWCA
Seventeenth and K streets NV.
where other speakers included
Serge Benson, bureau chairman,
who presided; Campaign Chairman
Coleman Jennings, Executive d.
rector Herbert L. Willett, jr, and
H. L. Giles, campaign manager. The
campaign will be conducted October
Is to November 8.
Quotes DIR. GrenfelI.
The spirit of the true commu-
nifty" Bishop Dun said, Is exempli-
fed by an old story told by the IA
nous medical missionary to Lab
rador, DR.. Grenfell. while speaking
in Congregational Church. about
the need Of a Roman Catholic wom-
an for an artificial limb.
"A Methodist woman offered him
an artificial limb that had been worn
by her late husband who had been
Presbyterian" related the bishop
She sent DR.. Grenfell the needed
article after his return to Labrador
and he, an Episcopalian, took the
leg that had been worn by a Pres
byterian. given by a Methodist. and
fitted it to the Roman Catholic
woman and she walked.
That story expresses the spirit
of this United Community War
Fund undertaking." declared Bishop
Dun. ut is the spirit we want to
take out into the whole city of
Washington and the neighboring
counties. 1t is the spirit Of the true
community.
ITO Renew the Spirit"
I'VE are here tonight to renew
the spirit Of true community and
pledge ourselves to its service. We
are not people who have to be
herded together or driven by hys-
terical propaganda, but free men
and women in a free community
who willingly take upon ourselves
the service of the common life.
I'VE are not drawn together by
fanatical claims of superior race but
by the sober claims of common
humanity We are here to make
democracy work because we believe
in our common life and the future
Of better America and the part
America can play in creating a more
decent world.
Il have no trick words for you
who are to go out to speak in the
interests of Community War Fund
Just remember that the cause is
good and the need is great. Tell
people that this is their chance to
be what we call in the New England
countryside real neighborly.'"

Basil Manly was elected chair

A fight in the Senate over con-
flrmation of Mr.. Olds for another

been of the commission since June

American affairs also attended the
conference. They included Assist
ant Secretaries OF State Adolf A.
Berle and Breckinridge Long.
Mr.. Duggan and Carl Spaeth, chief
of the River Plate section.
The feeling here Is that the Far
rell regime has not carried out the
policies dictated by public opinion
in Argentina, which is believed to
be strongly pro-United Nations. One
thing which has particularly antag-
onized official opinion here has been
the suppression Of freedom of the
press in Argentina. For many dec
AIDES the Buenos Aires newspapers
La Prensa and La Nacion were con-
sidered among the greatest in the
world and exercised a strong in
fluence in behalf of liberalism and
international cooperation through
out all n-America.
Since the Farrell regime came
into power last January these two
important journals. according to
authorities here who have read
them lately, have been forced to
subdue their traditional liberal edi-
torial policies and are able to print
only what the government approves.
Although the United States and
Great Britain are giving considera-
ton to strong measures to oppose
pro-Nazi policies in Argentina, there
is hope that the Argentine people
themselves may force their govern
ment to adopt pro-democratic poll
cies and so eliminate the need for
international sanctions.

today that the American Govern
ment is considering the withdrawal
of three Army Air Forces officers

viSers and instructors with the
Argentine Air Force.

turn here of Norman Armour, Am

satisfactorily and that the informa-
ton brought back by the Ambassa-
dor would be transmitted to the
other American republics. Great
Britain. which also has recalled its
envoy from Argentina, also is being
kept advised of all information

ish Ambassador, who. has returned
to London, took with him an Anglo

ton was inopportune.
Mr.. Hull declined to discuss press
reports that Mr.. Armour would re-
main here to become head of the
State Departments division OF
American republics affairs, succeed
