Relations IN
Argentine to


Washington. Jan. Sins A
strong possibility that relations
between the United states and Ar.
gentina may soon take sharp
turn for the worse was foreseen
in diplomatic circles today.
There was speculation in some
Latin American quarters that the
United States may resort to some
form Of economic action against
Argentina as a result OF the grow
ing belief in official Washington
circles that the Argentine clique
is trying TO encourage the estab-
lishment OF military dlctatorships
In several Latin American ropnb-
| lies.
Belief that the United States
and other American republics are
preparing TO take some definite
action was strengthened by Secre
tary OF State Cordell Hull's unex
pectedly sudden statement last
night that forces outside OF Bo-
livia and unfrlendly 20 the defense
Of the American republics inspired
and aided the recent Bolivian revo
luton"
Although Hun did not mention
Argentina by name. It was known
that his reference to forces out
side OF Bolivia" was directed al
the Argentine military group. Sew
eraI leading members OF the new
Bolivian government visited A.
gentina and consulted with the eX
treme nationalists in that country
before carrying out the recent re
volt in Bolivia.
The United States and II other
American Republics are now en-
gagged in diplomatic consultations
aimed at determining to what ex
tent Argentine influence was re-
sponsible for the Bolivian revolt
All is governments have agreed
TO withhold recognition OF the new
Bolivian military regime pending
the outcome OF the consultations.
Hulls statement strengthened
the belief in diplomatic circles that
the United States and the other
Allied American governments are
unlikely TO extend recognition to
the Bolivian regime in the near
future. II ever.
Brazil is known 10 be particu-
larly fearful that the Argentine
army group is engaged in plot to
topple the present Allied govern
ments in Uruguay. Chile and Peru.
and TO replace them with military
relationships.

Yanks t axe
San Vittore

Algiers, Jan. 8 ms Battle
toughened Americans OF the Fifth
Army lost no time today in push
ing beyond captured San Vittore
toward the Casino gateway to
Rome, and at the Adriatic and of
the trans-Italian British forces
hacked out less spectacular gains
IT. their drive a med at Pescara.
Although no official announce
ment has been made OF the cap
ture Of San Vittore. front dispatch
es told OF the termination OF a
bloody three day battle in which
the last three remaining pockets
OF enemy resistance in the town
were wiped out.
The town. lying six miles be
low the important highway town
OF Casino, had been invested by
Fifth Army forces which swept
forward along a 10 mile front af-
ter Selling strategic heights in a
semi-circular line from south to
northwest Of the city.
Within the first day OF the drive,
the Yanks seized control OF half
the town Grimly, the enemy
fought. turning each house into a
,eritable fortress in much the same
manner that the Nazi garrison of
Ortona did before Canadians OF
the Eighth Army occupied It in
nine DAYS OF bitter battles.
San Vittore. which for weeks
impeded the Allied advance, was
a virtual shambles as result Of
the terrific pounding II took.
