Inter-American Talks
|MayWait on Argentina

The inter- American conference to
set up q permanent regional secur-
ity system in the Western Hemis-
phere may be delayed until after
elections in Argentina, it was indi-
Gated in Latin American diplomatic
quarters yesterday.
An ostensible reason cited by
some diplomats for further delay is
that impending United Nations
meetings may make 1t inconvenient
for the American foreign ministers
to meet until late next spring.
The United Nations Preparatory
Commission meets in London soon,
and the first session of the United
Nations assembly is expected to
convene shortly thereafter. Many
foreign ministers and top diplomats
OF the American Republics will at
tend these sessions, and some esti-
mate 1t may be April before time
can be found for the regional con-
ference.
Originally called for Rio de
Janiero last month, the inter-
American conference was postponed
indefinitely after the United States
announced it would not sign a mu-
tual defense treaty-to be nego-
tiated at the conference-with the
present government of Argentina.
The Argentine military regime
some time ago announced elections
would be held next April, and last
week said the time would be moved
up earlier in the spring. This is
expected to be considered by the
governing board of the Pan Amer
ican Union, scheduled to meet No.
vember 20 to discuss a new date for
the Rio de Janiero Conference.

Opposed by Council
I0f Catholic Women

| Opposing the equal rights amend
ment, the National Council OF Cath
olic Women charges that this mis-
named bill" would destroy PRO

In a statement of principles

clared that legislation already en-

While approving equal pay for

PEELED to assure their continuance
In those jobs. And the Government
should not be put in the position
OF compelling employers to continue
mothers who have entered industry
because of the war emergency in
their jobs contrary to family well
fare"
The council recommended a wide
spread study of Pope Plus recent
encyclical, which, it said, contains
a clear and positive statement of
women's rights and duties and out
lines a charter for action"
The organization urged "neces.
sary funds" for UNRRA and Chris
tian charity of our Nation to the
needs of countries not yet covered
by UNRRA."
Peace treaties should be written
by the United Nations rather than
by "one or two or three or four
powers" it declared.
On housing, the council declared
that "for the lowest income group
private enterprise cannot furnish
decent housing at low rentals, and
their housing must be provided by
a public housing program, through
direct public subsidy" Amend
ment of the wage-hour law was
recommended to increase the mini
mum wage from 40 cents an hour tc

Of three years. While favoring the

Senator Revercomb, Republican, OF
West Virginia predicted last night
that voluntary enlistments for serv-

100000 month by the first of the

the need for further inductions.
Commenting on two bills pertain

introduced in the Senate last Thurs

should be taken to interfere with the
return of men who already have
seen service.
The bills call for the immediate
release of men having families to

With wartime economic activity

Postwar Projects

With wartime income remain
ing substantial, and projects
postponed because of manpower
and material shortages, many
states are accumulating huge
balances to be used in the post
war period, when their expendi-

economy.
Although far from possessing
the biggest surplus, Oregon,
with SCI ,535, 1000 available, al
ready has completed $190,O00,-
600 of postwar construction
plans, far more than any other
state. Although possessing the
largest of all balances at $344,-
100000, Oklahoma has only $114,-
100000 of projects in the ready
to go stage.
Other states with big surpluses
and the dollar value of COM

Philippine battle-ground

Though Leyte and Samar island

speeded conquest of Mindoro, the
Japanese indicated their determina-
tion to fight to the last ditch in the
Philippines and make the gangling
archipelago the battle-ground of de-
cision in the Pacific.
Even as War Minister Sugiyama
urged that the issue be decided in
the Philippines, B-29 Super-Fort-
resses roared over Tokyo, smashing
aircraft factories, refneries and
docks, and continuing their sus-
tanned drive to seriously impair the
delivery of war material to enemy
forces in the field.
No less than $4,000 Japanese
were killed in the 67-day U. S.

climactic north, south and east
pincer squeeze on the enemy after
he was cornered on the northwest
