ARGENTINA
MAY recall
GEN. RAMIREZ
BY DAVID J. WILSON
United Press Staff Correspondent


Buenos Aires, Feb. 26 - Cup -
Gen. Pedro P. Ramirez may be re-
called to the presidency of Argen-
tina in the event the other Ameri-
can Republics decline to grant dip
lomatic recognition to the govern
ment of acting President Edelmiro
j. Farrell, it was indicated today.
Farrell, vice-president under Ra-
mirez, announced yesterday that he
was not assuming the executive title
because he had assumed presidential
authority only temporarily, during
the 'illness" Of Ramirez.
(Reports from Montevideo, Uru-
quay, just across the Plata river
from Buenos Aires, said Ramirez
"illness'' was brought on by the fact
that clique of ultra Nationalistic
army officers had forced him at
gun point to delegate his power to
Farrell.
CThe legal foolscap coup d'etat
was engineered by junta Of six
army generals, including Farrell,
who had opposed Argentina's break
with the Axis a month ago, Mon
tevideo reported).
The new government was striving
to achieve an ASPECT Of normally in
all official matters as the other IS
American Republics followed devel-
opments here closely to determine
whether the question of recognition
Of Farrell's regime was a matter for
mutual consultation.
Some American diplomats already
have conferred informally among
themselves here, although official
instructions must be received from
their respective governments before
formal consultations are carried out,
as in the case of Bolivia whose rev.
dictionary regime has been recog-
nized only by Argentina.
Statements
Statements by Edward R. Stettin-
ius, Jr., acting secretary Of state, at
Washington yesterday indicated
that such instructions have not yet
been issued, at least by the United
States, from which most Of the
other governments were awaiting an
indication before reaching their own
decisions. Stettinius' remarks were

PAID TRIBUTE
Mrs. CrOnin and Frances
Lewis Brave Weather to
Work for Red Cross

Naugatuck, Jan. 7.-Miss Edith
Steever, executive secretary of the
Red Cross, reported neither the
rain, snow or sleet wept two loyal
but elderly Red Cross workers from
their places at the local chapter
house the last few days.
Mrs. Hannah Cronin, &c., Of
Rocklell avenue and Miss Frances
Lewis of 70 Rockwell avenue were
at the chapter house as usual yes
terday preparing surgical dressings
and knitting articles for service
men.
Intent to keeping the supply Of
dressings and knitted articles flow
ing to the fighting fronts, the two
women have braved the elements to
maintain their record of production
on the home front.
Mrs. Cronin has two grandsons in
the service and has been on the
Job since the start Of the war. Miss
Lewis father was over eighty years
old during the last war but he
knitted sweaters for servicemen.

two workers for their devotion and

School Bus Route
Extension Likely
Educators to Ask ODT About MiIviIIe District Pro.
pOsaI; Sales Leads in War Stamp Sales

Naugatuck, Jan. THE board Of
education Thursday afternoon de-
cided to ask the Office of Defense
Transportation whether an extern
sion Of the school bus route in the
Millville district would be permiss-
ible. The decision resulted after a
lengthy discussion on a request of
a family of an 11-year-old boy on
Allerton Rd., who requested that the
school bus travel a mile from its
present route to pick up the boy.
At present, one bus picks up high
school students at the Millville
school and another goes to the
school for grammar school students.
This second bus continues to Krodel
Rd. and recently extended its route
to Gunntown Rd., to pick up two
Sky ear-old children. Mr.. Chitten-
den explained the ODT permitted
this extension because the children
were considered too young to walk
and safely to the normal meeting
place.
However, the. ODT does not permit

BADMINTON GAMES
Holly CONTESTED
Second Round of A and B
Leagues Results in
Startling Changes

Naugatuck, Jan. THE second
leg of both the A and B. Badmin-
ton leagues has brought some
startling changes. For instance in
the first leg Chuck WEIGH and Wally
Plat were the champions, no team
could match them in style of play,
team work coordination and smart
playing.
The second leg now in progress
brings forth a new team. to take
the Ieadreshop away from WEIGH
and Plat. Harry Anderson and
Stan Glover are the new leaders
and q badminton duo that has few
equals.
Harry Anderson, who captains
the new league leaders Is by far
the outstanding Badminton player
Of both the A and B leagues. Harry
hes the distinction also Of being
the best singles player as well as
the best doubles player. Stan Glover,
his partner. Is now playing the best
game of his career and these two
coupled together are strong COM
bination. It might be interesting
to state that the two best players
combined in a team does not mean
a championship team. Team work
coordination and style of play con-
tribute a considerable part to the
make up Of championship team.
The second team in the league,
Chuck WEIGH and Wally latt, have
lost to only one team in the A
legaue-Anderson and Glover.
1t looked for a while that the
team Of Henry Freeman and Teg
Rogasian would give the league
leaders run for their money but
last nights battle between Freeman
and Bogasian against Anderson and
Glover decisively settled that ques-
ton.
Freeman and Bogasian are now
tied for third place with Larry Koth
and Harold Burrell in the A.
League.

dangerous for children or unwise,
Mr.. Chittenden said.
Several members expressed the
opinion the Allerton Rd. extension
would be unwise as children in
other sections Of town walk q mile
or more to meet buses or TO schools,
they said. Michael Nolan said 1t
would be impossible to satisfy all If
this request were granted.
A possibility that teachers in ele-
mentary schools will be ordered to
stay at the schools during the noon
lunch hour to supervise the many
children who do not go home for
lunch was revealed. Mr.. Chittenden
said the children constitute prob
lem and said plan whereby teach
ers would alternate, a week at a
time, In the noon-hour supervision,
might be considered. This was re-
ferred to the teachers committee Of
Mrs. Valesca Downes and DR.. Edwin
Curran, who will report at the next
meeting
The board voted TO adopt a state
board Of education guide for grant
ing credit for completion Of require
ments for high school diplomas as a
basis in giving diplomas to drafter
students. Five were drafted from
the high school in December.
Boys must have completed three
and half years of high school with
no deficiencies from past years to
receive diploma. However, If a boy
is l8 and has not completed three
and half years, he would probably
be given courses being taken into
consideration, Mr.. Chittenden said.
The sale of war stamps and bonds
in public schools jumped this week
from about 5000 for the last week in
December to 1892. Salem led with
