UNRRA was set up under an
agreement signed by A governments

Al Nations Will Get
Bids 10 Conference
On Money Problems
BY BLAIR BOLLES.

Plans are almost complete for the
American Government to issue in
vitations to Al powers to attend a
United Nations conference this
spring for working out a system to
stabilize the worlds currencies and
thereby prevent repetition of the
general economic disaster that
struck several years after the last
war.
The final decision on the confer
Ience, to be held in this country,
awaits the outcome of talks which
are to begin tomorrow between a
special Soviet monetary delegation
here and American Treasury and
other financial experts. Preliminary
discussion between American and
British representatives have been
completed, though there is no in
dication that Washington and Lon
don have discarded their separate
ideas about how stabilization
should be accomplished.
The place that gold will play in
the stabilization scheme is one of
the issues on which American and
Britain have disagreed. The main
desire of the leading governments
now is to get an understanding that
stabilization would be a desirable
accomplishment, then thresh out the
question of how to stabilize when
the conference meets.
The present bases of discussion
are the plans advanced by Harry D.
White, assistant to the Secretary of
the Treasury, last April 4; the
Treasury's revised plan of August
10, the British plan by John May
nard Keynes. made public last April
8, which calls for an international
clearing union" and rejects gold; the
Canadian plan of July IL, and the
French plan Of May 8.

Argentina 10 Resume
Democratic Rule,
New Envoy Declares
BY LEON PEARSON.

A vigorous defense of Argentina
and a promise of prompt return to
q democratic form of government
were made by Argentine Ambassa-
dor Adrian Escobar today, follow
ing his presentation Of credentials
to President Roosevelt.
Ambassador Escobar declared in an
interview that false reports had been
circulated about Argentina which
were intended to break down the
friendly relations between the two
countries"
II can assure you," added the
Ambassador, that Argentina is
neither the Fascist nor totalitarian
country it has been represented to
be. A true characterization of the
dominant sentiment of Argentina is
not fascism or naziism, but Argen-
tinism."
DR.. Escobar was appointed Ambas-
sador last October, following the re-
call OF former Ambassador PHILIPPE
Espil, who had served here - years.
Originally DR.. Escobar had planned
to come here in November, but de-
layed his departure when relations
between the two countries became
strained.
Then came the Argentine break
with the Axis January 26, and a few
days later DR.. Escobar, with his two
nieces, boarded plane for WASH
tngton.
The Ambassador declared today
there is still democracy in Argen-
tina. and though Congress was sus-
pended, the other two constitutional
powers remain active-the executive
and judicial branches. The suspen-
sion of Congress is accounted for by
the fact that its members had been
acting not in the national interest,
but in the interest of political

parable in power and status to the
Board Of Education"
The NCHA is now governed by the
director of the National Capital
Park and Planning Commission, the
president of the Board Of Commits
sioners and the architect OF the
Capitol. These officials are burdened
with the duties of their own offices,
so that for all practical purposes,
Mr.. Ihlder, the executive ofiicer of
the Authority, Is the authority" Mr..
Brown maintained.
Il do not think it is wholesome for
the people Of Washington to be ex-
posed to the caprice, predictions
and pet theories of one person, how
ever Jealous, capable and Fortnight
he may be-" he told the subcom-
mittee.
COlored Housing Needed.
Mr.. Brown suggested the NCHA
should be governed instead by a
board appointed by the Commits
s1oners and including representa-
tives of colored and white citizens
groups, private industry, labor and
other interested parties. He said
he did not speak for any colored
organization, but only as private
citizen.
Mr.. Brown gave figures calling
attention to the critical shortage Of
housing for Negroes here. There
are only 39,516 dwelling units for
Negroes in the District, as COM
pared with 133,521 for white per-
sons, he said.
At another point in the hearing, in
reply to letter to Senator Burton
from the Kenilworth Citizens Asso-
citation, Mr.. Ihlder denied rumors
that the NCHA is planning to con-
vert the 500-unit Lily Pond housing
development on Kenilworth avenue
NE. to colored occupancy.
Steamroller Tactics Charged.
Mr.. Nickel attacked the NCHA
for going into well-planned, we'll
developed communities and steam
rollering over all rights of the home
owners there to erect shacks." Cow
enants and restrictions have been
violated, he charged.
Reminded by Mr.. Ihlder that the
"shacks" are temporary dwellings
which will be removed within one
year after the war, Mr.. Nickel ap-
peared dubious.
The hearings will be resumed Fri
day, with Matthew G. Lepley,
builder, as the first witness.

I'm Synthetic Rubber
Field, Jones Says

Secretary OF Commerce Jones be-
lieves the United States should con.
tinue to operate the most economi-
cal synthetic rubber-making plants
after the war, in order to improve
the quality and perfect the tech
nical processes.
Mr.. Jones gave his views to the
House Banking Committee yester-
day in discussing peacetime disposal
of Government surpluses. He said
however, he believed there was too
much talk about postwar planning
because the war is not yet won.
1t also was made known yester-
day that the War Production Board
has begun discussing reconversion
to civilian production with repre-
sentatives of individual industries
Whatever Congress tells me to
do" Mr.. Jones responded.
In discussing the worlds potential
rubber making capacity, both nat
ural and synthetic, after the war, Mr..
Jones said that well over 1000 900
tons annually would be more than
the world could use.
President Roosevelt a few weeks
ago expressed opposition to protect
ing the new synthetic rubber in
dustry in this country to the detri-
ment Of natural rubber imports.
Would Keep War Stockpiles.
Representative Crawford, Repub-
lican, of Michigan. asked how Mr..
Jones felt about disposing Of the
Governments wartime stockpiles OF
critical materials.
The Secretary said he believed the
stockpiles should be kept, especially
those containing raw materials
which do not deteriorate.
The smaller businessman, "the
backbone of this country" he added,
should have preferential treatment
IN obtaining Government surplus
stocks after the war.
WPB Also Examining Problem.
In telling of reconversion plans,
Chairman Donald M. Nelson of the
WPB said that the agency was ex-
aminnig with leaders of various con-
sumer goods trades "the problems
that will arise when the time comes

duction."
