State Department Set
To Urge Braden as
Envoy to Argentina
By the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
The State Department is pre-
pairing to recommend to the
White House the appointment of
Spruille Braden as Ambassador
to Argentina when that govern
ment is recognized.
Mr.. Brade / now is Ambassador to
Cuba. He sd gVed previously as AM
bassador to Colombia.
No announcement will be made,
of course, until it is formally decided
to recognize Argentina-expected in
about week. 1t could not be ascer-
tanned whether presidential ap-
prevail has been obtained, but
diplomats said they did not think
there would be any bitches.
Await Saturday Meeting.
Mr.. Braden, who has been in the
diplomatic service since 1885, is well
acquainted with Buenos Aires
leaders. He spent two years there
as head of the American delegation
to settle the Chaco War between
Bolivia and Paraguay
Meanwhile, further action on Ar
gentina was put off until Saturday
when the Pan American Union is
scheduled to meet. An announce
ment paving the way for the Argen-
tine representative in Mexico City
to sign the resolutions of the Inter
American Conference there is ex-
pected to come from the meeting.
Recognition by the American re-
publics of the government of Gen.
Edelmiro Farrell in Buenos Aires
Is expected to follow quickly. Ar
gentina declared war on the Axis
Tuesday.
Jap Officials Interned.
Diplomats here, impressed by evil
dence of sincere change in Argen-
tine policy, hope the Buenos Aires
government will take quick meas
ures to implement the declaration
of war and new pledges of solidar-
ity With the rest of the Americas
to clear the way for recognition.

matte and consular officers still
in Argentina was announced in
Buenos Aires last night, soon after
an army officer was appointed to Su-
pervise commercial and industrial
activities of Axis nationals in the
country.
Meanwhile, the French govern
ment moved to resume control Of
French merchant ships tied up at
Buenos Aires and use them to trans
port sorely needed food to France

 Bpt it does seem as though pat riotie communities, from the hogs head down tc the half-pint size could afford to get a committee of profes- sional and business men together to service the eX-seryice.
 Altoona, Pa, did it without any one to guide it. Several other cities have followed Altoona's example. The folks in that Pennsylvania town, l understand, are willing to help other places to get organized. I'd judge that the smaller the town the more effective their plan would be.
 I hear that veterans service com mittees' have been created in TO of 93 counties in Nebraska, with cen tral information centers for veterans in 210 cities and towns. l don't know how effective they are. And in New York state, under the dir ecticn of the State Veterans Ser vice, there are reported to be local directors in every county seat and deputy directors in the larger vil- lages.

DEATH PLUNGE E
 TAKEN BY CHILD;
 FATHER FOLLOWS

SAN FRANCISCO, July 24-The restless. waters beyond the Golden Gate today held the bodies of Aug ust Charles DeMont, 37, and his D. year-old daughter, Marilyn, who pre- coded him in an inexplicable 226- foot plunge yesterday from the bridge across the outlet to the bay.
 DeMont was described as very nervous" and ill from a back in jury when he left his home with his youngest daughter to visit his physi- clan.
 Instead of going there, he drove to the Golden Gate bridge. Painters working on the span watched help lessly as the youngster got out of the car and, apparently at the com- mand Of her father, walked unhesi- tatingly to the rail and jumped.
 As she plunged downward, her hody twisting and turning, DeMont stepped from his automobile, poised momentarily on the rail and leap ed in a perfect dive to his death.
 Mrs DeMont exclaimed, "Oh, I knew it, knew it. when told by the police

WASHINGTON - An eX-seryice man in Miami has written that his feeling Of illustration, when he sought help in solving some of his problems, is common tc many other discharged men he knows.
 Something more than the benefits of the GI Bill, he says, is nedod by many veterans in making e new civ ilian start. and only oiyic-minded business and professional men will be able to supply this help.
 I'm sure" ne continues, that the veterans won't return expecting all sorts of handouts, but they do have the right to be given a helping hand in problems Of employment, starting a business. getting home, or soly- ing ether problems that cut civic leaders could understand
 This ex-GI has put bis finger on something that I have been repeat ing in previous columns, and pro- bably will keep on repeating. A veteran has rights. Bu" ne won't get them unless he gees after them.
 In going after them he'll run into blind alleys and buck-passing and systems that would be enough to drive anyone screwy-except an ex- service man.
 If you've served any length of time in any of the armed forces, you're bound to have become almost im- mune to buck-passing delays. A

BANNERS HAVE BACKS 10 WALL
 AGAINST DUCKS
Seattle Needs Even Break in Coming Series 10
 Stay Flag Threat
tBy The Associated Press)

Portland's Beavers, who have Wor II straight games and lead the Pacific Coast Baseball League by seven, might just as well fold ur the 1945 bunting and stow it away as far as MT. Francis J. O'Doul is concerned.
 The San Francisco manager says neither his Seals nor any other Coast League club will be able tc overtake Portland. Pitching is the not-too-Secret cause of the Beavers success, according to ODoul. As he puts it, Portland has regular pitcher ready to go nine innings every night in the week.
 Seattle and Portland open a series tonight at Seattle. And, says Lefty, the Beavers should win seven straight.
 Statistics would appear to bear out ODouls soothsaying. In two previous series Portland has beaten Seattle 10 out of 15 games and is riding the crest of hot" streak.
 in the other series inaugurals tonight, third-place Sacramento will entertain the San Diego Padres. O'Doul's San Francisco club, just one-half game behind the Solons, will play host to Oak land. And Los Angeles and Holly wood will tangle at Hollywood.

NEW YORK, July 24-Although Larry MacPhail doesn't agree-at least, not publicly-a number of baseball men around town have the idea that Joe Mccarthy won't re- turn to the Yankees as manager. Joe's illness, as explained with umaccustomed restraint by Mac Phail, sounds like a lot more than can be cured by few days rest. :. When guy gets so he can't eat or sleep worrying about club that is less than five games out of first place it must be serious. . Mccarthy told the boss yes- terday. T don't like to run out on anybody, but feel that I'm not doing the club or you any good. And MacPhail told reporters If Joe makes up his mind that he can't continue on the field, he will remain with the Yankees, either as assistant to me or in some other capacity" At least, Larry is considering the pos abilities.
