BUENOS AIRES, Mar. 3.-Return
Of Argentina to. constitutional nor
mality, with ofncials chosen by ballot
and military leaders taking back
seat, was set forth today by Acting
President Gen. Edelmiro Farrell as
one Of the primary objectives Of his
regime:
1--WE are in the government only
temporarily" said Gen. Farrell, who
took over the executive power from
President Gen. Pedro Ramirez a
week ago. None of us wants to stay
there single minute more than
necessary"
Castillo Urges Normality.
Ramon Castillo. deposed as Presi-
dent In last June's military revolu-
ton, declared he had been following
recent events with much concern
and said "a quick return to normal
ity is imperative"
The tranquility and future Of
the nation require sacrifice and
patriotism Of the highest order" he
said.
Acting President Farrell told an
Associated Press interviewer at Gov
ernment House yesterday that Ar
|gentine foreign policy would remain
unchanged, but emphasized that
foreign policy must logically be a
consequence Of domestic policy and
not q result Of extraneous factors
or inadmissible concepts"
Position Declared Unchanged.
Nothing has occurred, Gen. Far
rell said, to change Argentina's S posi-
ton in the international picture.
Under the presidency of Gen. RAM
irez. the country severed diplomatic
relations January IS with Germany
and Japan, the last American ma
ton to do 50.
I'VE have co-operated and will
continue to cooperate with Amer
ica," Gen. Farrell said, "and nothing
nor any one will prevent us from
carrying out this elemental duty OF
solidarity with all the other nations
Of the continent. = ="
In line with the proposed return
to freely elected government, a
move has begun to abolish the
strinent control of the Argentine
press set up in December. 1t was
disclosed last night that a proposed
statute to that effect is being studied
by Gen. Farrell.

BY the Associated Press,


Director Elmer Davis Of the Once
of War Information says the British
United Press is the news agency
which sent abroad a story that a
$50 900 900 fund is being raised in
this country to defeat President
Roosevelt for reelection.
Mr.. Davis identified the agency
in 4 letter yesterday to Senator
Byrd, Democrat, of Virginia, who
had characterized the story as "ob-
vious propaganda" The story,
which Mr. Davis said was sent from
the United States and first printed
in English newspapers, later was
picked up and reproduced in a
news pamphlet distributed to Amer
ican troops arriving in England.
The owl previously said that was
done by local editor without the
knowledge Of the British Ministry
of Information. and that its repro
duction was a mistake" in judg-
ment on the part of the editor.
LONDON, Mar. 3.-The statement
by Elmer Davis, identifying the
British United Press as the news
agency which sent to England the

Roosevelt were raising $50, 900 900 to
defeat him, elected this reply today
from Frank Fisher, managing edito,
Of the agency:
The story Of a campaign fund
being raised to beat Roosevelt was
cabled to London as a routine part
of the news report for British
clients and the BUP has no knowl-
edge Of how or why it later appeared

He declares that Army Fact Sheet
No. S3, dated Aug. 81, 1914, which
contained this statement "is plain
violation of law and some one ought
to be prosecuted for it,
We have yet to find any law in the
United States which makes illegal a
statement of fact-a statement of plain
truth, designed to strengthen the ma
tion's war effort.
Before Mr.. Lawrence sounded off
we never discovered the slightest hint
that either side regards labor's war
record as campaign issue.
Both President Roosevelt and Gov
ernor Dewey in their Labor Day mes
sages and in their campaign speeches
have given high praise to labor's ac-
complishments in the war production
program. In case Mr.. Lawrence has
forgotten it we quote here what Gov
ernor Dewey said in his Labor Day
proclamation:
"The stirring news of victory after
victory on the fighting fronts is cause
for pride not only in the theater of
war but on the home front. Without
the superb cooperation of working men
and women here at home it would have
been impossible to send out our mag

Federation of Labor gladly responds
to the call Of our country for support
Of the National War Fund and
through it, of community relief funds.
''The work in which labor is en-
gagged can be properly classified as
humanitarian service in the interest
and in support of our fighting forces.
Labor everywhere is continually ex-
tending needed relief and friendship
to millions Of victims of ruthless
aggression in foreign lands. In addi-
tion, labor's cooperation with local
community chests serves to provide
the kind of assistance here at home
which is so badly needed among so
many unfortunate families.
"The men and women Of labor are
prepared not only to give in accord
ance with their means but to assume
a full measure of responsibility in
the task of collecting voluntary gifts
of other labor members.
Labor can be relied upon to con-
tinue it's support to our fighting forces
abroad and those who are helpless
and in need at home"

WATCH COMPANY
ACCUSED OF USING
LABOR SPIES

New York City (ILNS). Additional
information, strengthening the charges
by Watch Workers Local 122, Inter-
national Jewelry Workers Union, AFL,
that the Bulova Watch Co., hired spies
to report the names of workers favor
able to the union, was uncovered, the
Workers Defense League announced.
Evidence to prove the firm was using
illegal tactics to smash attempts at
organization of it's employees was
presented to the NLRB by the union.
Late in June, unfair labor prac-
tices petitions were filed with the
board. These accused Bulova's Wood
side, L. l., plant of putting informers
on the payroll, maintaining COM
pany union, and generally overstep-
ping the bounds of the Wagner Act.
It was believed that the apprehend-
led labor spy had confessed his role
to Local 122 when the Bulova man
agement refused to "come across"
with promised pay for his undercover
work. Thoroughly disgruntled, he
sought some measure of revenge in
barring his activities to the union.

FACING
The
FACTS
With PHILIP PEARL

There are all shades and varieties
of newspaper columnists. Some are
reactionary, some conservative; few
may be considered liberal and tiny
number undoubtedly radical. The views
they express are often their own per-
sonal convitions, but occasionally these
convictions are influenced by the policy
of the newspaper which purchases and
prints the column.
Now David Lawrence is in uni
que position among newspaper column
lists. He not only writes daily column
which is offered for sale and carried
by various newspapers but he is pub
Usher in his own right. He publishes
the United States News and group
Of international services which are
offered for sale to businessmen.
Under the circumstances, it is not 9.
bit surprising that Mr.. Lawrence's
views are conservative. Some writer's
in the radical camp even regard Mr..
Lawrence as reactionary. We have
never shared this estimate Of Mr..
Lawrence because he usually has a
high regard for facts and fairness
traits not often discernible among re-
dictionary writer's.
The Army Fact Sheets
All of this leads up to an express
sion of the deep disappointment we
felt when we read Mr.. Lawrence's col

umn published Oct. 16 in the Washing.

umn published Oct. 16 in the Washing
ton Star.
Apparently, Mr.. Lawrence was car
ried away by the intensity of his po-
litical feeling. He accused the War De-
partment and the United States Army
of playing politics in favor of the Ad-
ministration by sending out to orien-
tation officers "fact sheets" giving
fair and well-balanced information
with regard to labor's war record.
Mr.. Lawrence makes the mistake of
implying that these facts sheets may
have been sent out by some "New Deal
underlings" able "to persuade gullible
officers unfamiliar with the maneu-
vers Of politics" But the fact sheets,
as casual glance at them will dis
close, are official statements of policy
by the War Department and are is
sued by General George C. Marshall,
Chief Of Staff of the U. S. Army, un-
der the authority of the Secretary of
War.
Furthermore, we challenge any fair
minded person to read these fact sheets
and discover any trace Of partisan pol
itics in them. The conclusion Of Fact
Sheet No. 20 states that the produc-
tion record of management and labor
in this war has been magnificent"
Is there any politics in that? Have not
both the Republican and Democratic
platforms and the Presidential candi-
dates Of both parties conceded that
Is The Truth Unfair?
Mr.. Lawrence considers it unfair and
unsportsmanlike for the War Depart
ment to tell the troops that the loss
Of time due to strikes in this coun-
try has amounted to '1ess than one
tenth Of one per cent Of the total labor
time available"
The Butler County press. [volume] (Hamilton, Ohio) 1900-1946, 1944-10-27

nificently equipped armies to attack
the enemies of freedom. In this all Am
ericans may rejoice and take pride,
but particularly the working men and
women who are making for our fight
ing men the weapons with which they
are giving us victory. In New York
we take special pride in the natriotism
of labor Since Pearl Harbor there has
not been single major strike in New
York"
Now, Mr.. Lawrence, in the light of
these facts, aren't you little mixed
up and don't you want to apologize
for what you wrote?

 LAST NIGHT
Mddgeburg in Sdxony Is Crushed = Berlin
 Also Raided

LONDON, Jan. 22-The Royal Air Forces campaign to flatten the German industrial targets crushed the city of Madgeburg in Saxony last night and slightly under 2,000 tons of bombs were dropped as the major phase of the great aerial op- eration which also included small CT attack on Berlin.
 New blows against Germany, fol- lowing up the heavy 2,200-long ton assault on Berlin the previous night, cost the RAF 55 bombers which is one of the heaviest losses suffered this year They came while the Germans themselves were stabbing at London and southeast England. Two sharp raids were made by the force which included 90 bombers, probably a thousand planes having taken part in the widespread opera tions by the RAF during the night. They were also striking at northern France and laying mines.
 This is the second thousand plane Allied offensive within IA hours as approximately that number of Ann erican and British aircraft attacked the Pas de Calais area by daylight Yesterdays and last nights losses were the heaviest since the 58 bomb CTS downed in the great assault on Berlin last August 23.

WASHINGTON, Jan. P. = The Democratic National Committee has elected, by exclamation, Robert E Hannegan as Chairman to succeed Postmaster General Frank Walker resigned, putting the accent on the youth committee in choosing the 40- year-old St. Louisian to head the campaign drive which most of the Democratic faithful at the meeting believe will find Roosevelt running for a fourth term.
 Hannegan, who resigned as In- ternal Revenue Commissioner, was nominated by James Aylward, Ma tional Committeeman from Missouri who said Hannegan is eminently qualified to lead the party to a grand and glorious victory in the election of Franklin Delano Roose- velt for a fourth term"

The W ashingt ion Merry Go Round
By DREW PEARSON CMajor Robert 6. Allen on active dutyJ

WASHINGTON-Seldom has the Democratic National Committee meeting this week in Washington summoned it's heterogeneous nem- bers under such politically gruesome circumstances.
 If you talk to Senator Cotton Ed Smith of South Carolina, or Virginias Senator Harry Byrd, or labor leaders, farm leaders and others who once helped elect Roose- welt, the Democratic Party appears to have gone to pieces. It no longer exists as a party. Pieces of 1t can be seen scattered about the land- scape, but they are not coordinat- ing with each other.
 Farm elements which once re- garded FDR as their savior have forgotten the past. Now, not con- tent with merely voting Republican they want to work actively agir him. Labor, which has received greater benefits from Roosevelt than in 15O years of American his tory, now is beginning to turn sour
 Meanwhile, some farm and busi- ness critics actually believe that the quarrel between Roosevelt anc John L. Lewis is front, that the two really are in cahoots. Some even claim, in all seriousness, that the Administration plans to pro- long the war in order to keep itsel1 in power.
 There is no basic criticism of the conduct of the war. In fact, gen. eral agreement is that it is going well. But there is fervid, vitriolie undercurrent of determination tc defeat Roosevelt-or any Democrat if the war, at least in Europe, IS over by November.
 Fully realizing that the tide is running out, the Democratic Ma tional Committee meets to elect, as successor to placid Frank Walker, new chairman who must have the courage to start new and perhaps hopeless battle, plus the ability te pick up all the broken pieces ano weld them together.
 Not for eleven years has the Democratic National Committee picked its own officers. Always they were handed down from ur above. During the harmony days between FDR and Jim Farley, there never was any quarrel about this But after the 3rd term renomina- tion at Chicago when Farley step- ped out, it was different story
 And at the last committee meet ing in Chicago, when Ed Flynn re- signed in favor of Frank Walker leading Democrats arrived at tht meeting with blood in their eyes So much so that Pennsylvania Senator Joe Guffey warned re-

ADVANCED ALLIED HEAD QUARTERS IN NEW GUINEA, Jan 22 One hundred and sixty Japanese troops, apparently bent on reinforcing the besieged defenders at Madang, were killed when speedy PIT boats caught them on barges sneaking off the coast on Tuesday night, Allied Headquarters an- nounced. M
 The American craft surprised the enemy barges off Cape Croisilles, less than 25 miles north of Madang and sprayed them with rapid fire guns. All the barges were sunk and all the troops drowned or killed.
 Repeated bombings of the last few days give indications that Australian forces will be starting new drive from their inland Ramu Valley posi- tions aimed at the Madang defenses
 On Thursday 70 tons of explosives were dropped by Mitchells on the Ramu Valley Japanese being driven northward by the Aussies. The same day Mitchells struck at Japanese positions north of Madang, drop- ping bombs on supply and gun loca- tions and strafing Hansa Bay craft Twenty barges were sunk.
 The Japanese are relying almost exclusively on barges to evacuate and reinforce troops in the South west Pacific war theatre.
