Argentine Expert in u. S.
Indorses Rebuff to GiroIo

DENVER, April % P.-Dr. David
Efron of Buenos Aires, principal
analyst of Latin America for the
National Planning Association, to-
day Endorsed the action of the In
ternational Labor Conference in
Philadelphia in denying a seat to
one Of his countrymen, Luis Girola,
a workers delegate from Argentina.
DR.. Efron, addressing luncheon
meeting of the Rocky Mountain
Council on Inter American Affairs,
asserted that "the so-called Argen-
tine labor delegation is in no posi-
ton to represent the labor move
ment of my native country, be-
cause Argentine labor-like all other
Argentine anti-Axis forces - has
been suppressed by the Fascist die

sition taken by Vincente Lombardo

The Connally resolution, which

1t further recognized "the neces-
sity Of there being established at the
earliest practicable date a general

the principle of the sovereign
equality of all peace-loving states
and open to membership by all such
states, large and small, for the

Eight Senators Named
To Confer With Hull
On Plans for Peace
BY J. A. O'LEARY,

A bipartisan group of eight mem
bers Of the Senate Foreign Rela-
tions Committee was named last
night by Chairman Connally to
confer with Secretary of State Hull
on postwar peace plans.
Those selected besides, Senator
Conally are Senators George of
Georgia, Barkley of Kentucky and
Gillette of Iowa, Democratic; La
Toilette, Progressive, of Wisconsin,
and Vandenberg of Michigan, White
of Maine and Austin of Vermont,
Republicans.
Appointment of such a group was
suggested by Mr.. Hull in his radio
talk last Sunday in which he said,
"It is right and necessary that we
should have the advice and help
of an increasing number of mem
bers of the Congress"
If these consultations between the
two branches of Government that
share the treaty-making power
serve to avoid or minimize the con-
flicts that played a part in keeping
the United States out of the League
OF Nations after the last war, the
step may prove history-making.
Sees Value in Consultation.
In this connection Senator Con-
nally last night commented:
"ConSultation and cooperation
between the Executive Department
and the Foreign Relations Commit
tee respecting peace arrangements
and machinery will make a sub
stantial contribution toward ratifi-
cation of any treaty regarding the
peace establishment. Through these
consultations the Senate will, in a
measure, have a part in outlining
the structure and character of the
organization to preserve peace. 1t
will, therefore, be much more apt to
support treaty embodying the plan
than otherwise"
Referring to the Senators chosen,
the Texan said:
"The members of this group were
selected from the subcommittee
which considered and reported the
so-caued Connally peace resolution,
which was adopted by the Senate
in the fall of 1943. 1t was felt that
their studies over a period of sew
eral months in connection with that
resolution would be very helpful in
their prospective duties"
Senator Connally, saying the sem
atorial group would meet with Mr.
Hull within a week, declared:
"A primary purpose for such CO.
operation and consultation will be
to secure as great unanimity among
the American people and the Con-
gress as possible with reference to
a basic postwar security program
The attitude of Secretary of State
Hull in extending the invitation is
to be highly commended. In for
eign relations it is of the highest

Retirement of Judge Lenroot
To End Long Service to Nation
Ex-senator Offered
Vice Presidency
On Harding Ticket
BY ]. A. FOX.

Judge Irvine Luther Lenroot, a
Senate stalwart of two
decades ago who missed the presi-
dency Of the United States by an
shift Of tickle political
winds, yesterday announced his res
ignation from the Court of Customs
and Patent Appeals where he had
served Is years. Judge Lenroot was
rs on January 81 and had been
eligible for retirement for five years.
The jurist's immediate plans call
for a fishing trip on the Brule
River, in Wisconsin, his home State
which first sent him here IS years
ago as member of the House.
Fate in the form of the Boston
police strike, which elevated Calvin
Coolidge to national prominence,
tilted the scales in 1920 against
Judge Lenroot and, as it later de-
veloped, kept him from the presi-
dency.
Was Offered Vice Presidency.
In the Chicago convention of 1920,
when Warren G. Harding was NOM
mated for President as an out
growth Of the Lowden-Wood dead
lock, party leaders decided on the
then Senator Lenroot for the vice
presidency. He demurred. Again
the leaders importuned Senator
Lenroot, but In the meanwhile Wal
lace McCammant, a delegate from
Oregon, was waging drive on the
convention floor in behalf of Massa-
chusetts' then Gov. Coolidge. Cali
fornia supported the New Englander
when the roll was called-and that
was the break" Other State dele
cations quickly followed. So it was
Calvin Coolidge instead of Irvine
Lenroot who became the 29th Pres
ident of the United States when
President Harding died, August 8
1923.
Ironically. 1t was in the Coolidge
administration that Senator Len
root reached the height of his pow
er in the Senate as leader of forces
fighting for American adherence tc
the World Court-only to be defeat
ed for reelection. largely because
OF his stand on the court.
Il would rather give my support
to the World Court and be defeated
for reelection than to oppose it anc
be Reelected" he declared in q
Senate speech.
Blames Defeat on Position.
Recalling that phase of his Senat.
service yesterday when he told re.
porters OF his resignation, Judge
Lenroot said that there was a large
German vote in Wisconsin and thai
he supposed" that aided in hi.

defeat, as Germany had not at that
time adhered to the court.
But Germany came in the next
year." he added.
Judge Lenroot's resignation, effec-
tive April 30, ends a public career
that started at the turn of the CEN
tury. The son of Swedish parents,
he was born in Superior, Wis, jan
uary 81, 1869, and at IA was a gro
GERS clerk. Without the aid of a
formal education he gained admit
tance to the bar, studying while en-
ployed as a stenographer in law
office and later as a court reporter.
His first political Office was as a
member of the State Assembly to
which he was elected in 1901.
In 1901, he came to the House, re-
manning until April, 1918, when he
defeated Joseph E. Davies, the for
mer Ambassador to Russia, for the
seat vacated by the death of Senator
Paul Husting, Democrat.
Early in his political career, Judge
Lenrot became associated with the
elder Senator Robert M. La Toilette
OF Wisconsin, and aided him in
wrestling control of the Republican
party from the conservative element,
But they broke in 1912, and the
breach never was healed.
Defeated by La Toilette Man.
1t was La Toilette man-former
Gov. John j. Blaine-who defeated
Senator Lenroot for the nomination
In 1925. But La Toilette supporters
still were antagonistic, and threat
ened to prevent his appointment to
the Federal bench in 1929. They
blocked confirmation of his nomi-
nation by President Coolidge. but
his name was submitted again by
President Hoover and he finally was
confirmed In secret session. That
vote had repercussions. What was
purported to be a report Of the
secret ballot was made public and
its authenticity was challenged. As
a result Of the row which developed,
The Senate did away with secret
sessions on nominations.
Judge Lenroot told reporters yes
terday that he had decided to resign
rather than retire, because he would
feel more at liberty to discuss public
questions. He declared, however,
that he would have no more to do
with politics. His retirement pay of
$12,500 is not affected.
Judge Lenroot's first wife died In
1912 and he remarked last year.

OUTLINE PLANS
Flood Control Reservoir to
Be Erected Near Thomas
ton at Govt Expense

A food control reservoir will
eventually be construed by the q.
S. Army on the Naugatuck river
above Thomaston at no initial cost
to the various towns along the river
bed, 1t was stated yesterday by army
engineers addressing mayors, Sc
lectmen and engineers from the up
per valley who assembled In the
city'S aldermanic chamber.
The main purpose Of the reservoir
will be to prevent spring, floods and
to permit cleansing Of the river bed
and sewage flows during the dry
seasons, the latter to be accom-
phshed by means Of freeing water
from the dam permitting it to flush
the Naugatuck river.
The reservoir will be about six
miles long and will pass through
parts Of the towns Of Thomaston,
Harwinton and Litchfleld. It's dam
will be 1873 feet high and total cost
will be about IS million. The fed
eral government will pay the con-
Struction costs and maintenance
charges, estimated at $250,000 a
year.
