Their return was believed closely
linked with a newly-formed alliance
Of the major political parties against
Peron's candidacy for the presidency.
The report of Farrell's resignation
threat and his increasing disagree

as possibly the most important de-

the two army leaders seized the gov

Ramirez in February, 1914.
Opposes Peron Faction.
A member of Farrells admins
tration, who declined to be quoted
by name, said the President OBJ
jected because Peron had sought
support of one faction of the Radi-
cal party in his campaign for the
presidency, in the elections which
have not yet been called.
The informant said Foreign Min
lister Cesar Ameghino had submit
ted his resignation on August %
and that, while Farrell demurred,
Peron insisted that the President
accept it and appoint an important
member Of the Radical party to
replace Ameghino.
Ameghino subsequently confirmed
to correspondents that he had sub
mitted his resignation. He said he
took the action on the grounds of
private reasons" but did not elab-
crate. There was no indication
whether his resignation had been
accepted.
In wooing the support Of the rad

Mr.. Shen pointed out yesterday
that 80 per cent of China's already
existing $4,000 miles of rail lines
have been destroyed by the Jap
anese. These lines have been gov

since rail lines were. laid in China;
he continued. Many of the 10000
new miles of rails to be laid will be.
in the interior where China expects
to erect her heavy industrial plants,
the spokesman asserted. -.
The problem now, he added, is to
keep as much rolling stock moving
as possible. With no spare parts or
new cars available, Chinese railroad
firms often have been forced to dis
mantle several steam engines to
keep one in motion. Although help
from the United States has as yet
not arrived, Mr.. Shen asserted it Is
understood aid in the form of tracks,
rolling stock and technical personnel
will be forthcoming.

End Of Lease-Lend,
Atomic Bomb Secrecy
BY GOULD LINCOLN.

Senator Vandenberg Of Michigan.
leader OF Republican thought on
foreign affairs in the Senate, yester-
day announced:
/. His firm support Of the termi-
nation Of lease lend.
2. His belief that II the atomic
bomb secret is ever turned over to
the Security Council of the United
States it shall be only after the right
of inspection OF all military weapons
everywhere has been given.
The Michigan Senator, high
ranking member Of the Senate For
eign Relations Committee, was a
member Of the United States dele
CATION which helped to write the
United Nations Charter. He later
took a leading part in the Charters
ratification by the Senate.
End Of Lease-Lend Definite.
Speaking of the British criticism
OF the abrupt termination of lease
lend, Senator Vandenberg said:
ANY one who read the debates
published in the Congressional
Record at the time of the last ex-
tension OF lease-lend must have
been fully aware Of the categorical
pledges given then that lease-lend
would cease with the termination of
hostilities."
He added that it did not seem
credible the British were not fully
informed regarding what was said
in the congressional hearings and
debates on the subject.
Roosevelt and the Atomic Bomb.
Questioned about what effect the
atomic bomb has had on interna-
tional relations, and particularly on
the United Nations Charter, Senator
Vanoenberg related a conversation
he had with President Roosevelt
shortly before the laters death.
President Roosevelt had on his
desk when went into his Office"
said Senator Vandenberg, "a COPY
OF the address delivered last Janu-
airy on winning the war and the
peace. He had underlined one SEN
tence, which read: If World War
No. 3 ever unhappily arrives, it
Will open new laboratories of death
too horrible to contemplate and I
propose to do everything in my
power to keep those laboratories
The President said to me: Sen
ator, you have no idea how right
you are Gin that sentence. But you
will discover it before the year is
over I have no doubt the Presi-
dent had the atomic bomb in mind
when he spoke.
Points to Collective Security.
Il should say that the atomic
bomb affects the world in precisely
the fashion President Roosevelt was
indicating, and it makes it even
more essential that We should sue
ceed in the pursuit of collective Sc
curity through the United Nations
organization.
The ultimate control of the
atomic bomb is one of the grave
questions confronting humankind.
If it is subsequently shared with
the Security Council it can only be
after the creation of absolutely free
and untrammeled rights of intimate
inspection all around this globe
That's a freedom that unfortunately
does not adequately exist"
The Michigan Senator expressed
pleasure that President Truman has
announced peace conference be-
tween labor and management will
be called after Congress meets. Such
conference had been proposed

Controversy Anticipated.
This question of how the Federal
funds will be distributed among
the States is expected to provoke
controversy. Some members OF
Congress are understood to feel
that, since the States having large
contingents of war workers already
are making the higher State pay
ments, the bill will not mean as
much to those workers as in nom
industrial States where present en-
ployment benefits are low.
OF course, under the Kilgore bill
many of the workers whose war
jobs have run out in these big in
dustrial States could be provided
with transportation to other areas
where there is a prospect for en-
ployment.
On the House side there are two
bills pending, one with and one
without the inclusion Of travel al
lowances.
