ARGENTINA OUT
TO END ACCORD

WASHINGTON, July 25-tR-The
Argentine government evidently
gave up today its lateast drive to
win diplomatic recognition from
the United Sta es and turned in
stead to charting further moves
designed to split the American ma
tions unified against it.
A verbal clash between Washing
ton and Buenos Aires is an i'm
mediate prospect. The Argentine
regime is scheduled to explain to-
morrow it's position in recalling
Dr.. Adrian Escobar, its ambassa-
cor in Washington.
The United States and coopera-
ting American nations are due to
cefine anew, either tomorrow or
Thursday, their attitude toward the
Argentine administration d
on the contention that it has fol-
lowed a course hurtful to the
United Nations in their struggle
with the Axis.
The object and final judge of the
contentious on both sides is the
Argentine electorate. In the Wash
ington view it is up to the people
tne mselves to decide whether they
want to continue to be ruled by a
government ostracized by its neigh
bors. The Argentine leaders ap-
parently take a serious view of ther
popular position.
The United States and most Of
the other American republics have
rot recognized the Edelmiro Far
rel regime since it came into pow
er early this year. At one time
Bolivia, Paraguay, Chile and Ecua-
dor extended some degree of re-
oognition but recently when the
United States recalled Ambassa-
dor Norman Armour, the four
countries which given some re-
cognition likewise ordered their
ambassadors home, thug restoring
The solid front of the Allied Nations
CT thi hemisphere against the Far
rel regime.
The Argentines PERSISTED in
their hope for reversal Of Amer
lean policy until yesterday when
Secretary of State Hull let 1t be
kncwn at his press conference that
the American governments had
agreed on statement of their
attitude of :1on-recognition and the
reasons for it. Hull strongly indi
Gated that the reasons would be
linked to Argentina's alleged pro.
Axis conduct under the Farrell
administration.
Thereupon Buenos Aires an.
nounced that in view of HulPs
comments Escobar was being re.
called.

Nazi 4 Horsemen
Abroad In Europe

"To do this" said the decree
as broadcast by the Berlin radio,
"the tasks Of lesser war impor-
lance will be stopped or reduced
and the procedure sin1plified." To
this end Goering and Goebbels
may demand explanations from
the highest authorities and give
them instructions.
The chief editor Of the German
news agency transocean, Georg
Shredder, predicted tonight that
Goebbels would 'act very swiftly
and radically in execution of the
extraordinary amount of power
placed in his hands, and affect all
spheres of life in Germany and the
occupied territories"
The Hitler decree came at the
close of day which brought him
his first message of congratulatlon
from the eastern front over his
escape from death in last week S
bomb attack. The message, con-
siderably short of a loyalty pledge,
came from the non-Junker fleld
Marshal Gen. Walther Won Model,
described as the commander OF
two army groups.
Marshal Model, of middle class
stock, never has been Identified
actively with the Nazi party, nor
is he a representative of the arls=
tocratic Junkers class which is the
seat of the army revolt against
Hitler. His message said simply:
Gail of us thank the Almighty
for having preserved you and there
fore Germany from an unthinkaDle
doom. In this we recognize once
more the Justice of our cause.
'By expressing as veterans OF the
east front our complete readiness
for action, W send our greetings to
you with complete faith in our I'LL
innate success"

sharply south from Caen in a push
to side step the Nazi tank screen

Paris. This renewed attack was
aimed down the road from Caen
TO Falaise.
The doughboys held back until
shortly before noon, and then went

and strafing attacks were greater

Now there's an important point.
