And Now Charges
 Fly in Argentine

BUENOS AIRES, Oct. 25.--A radi- cal party spokesman charged today that police coerced workers into par ticipating in the October IT demon stration which brought Col. Juan Peron back to power and denied that the laboring masses support the Argentine strong man.
 Carlos Cisneros, Secretary of the Radical party's national committee, said the mass appeal for Peron's return was an exact reproduction of the first popular demonstrations by Fascism and the Falange."

The WaSninqton Merry -Go- Round
By DREW PEARSON

WASHINGTON = The fact that things are going better in Japan since Undersecretary of State Dean Acheson cracked down on Gen. Macarthur is obvious to the naked eye. Macarthur has taken the revo- lutionary step of inStituting wo- mans suffrage, has helped put an old friend of the United States Baron Shidehara-in as premier and has taken important steps to- ward the democratization of Japan.
 Some of the steps behind this, however, are not so apparent. They go back to the encouraging start Jimmy Byrnes has made in reor- ganizing his State Department. While Byrnes has had hard luck with the Russians, he has made unadvertised but important pro- gress in other things.
 One of these is his cleanup of the State Departments Far Eastern division. The old Eugene Dooman and Joseph Ballantine, both born in the Far East-are out They had put faith in the Japa- nese aristocracy- big business clique
 Replacing them is John Carter Vincent and some hard working younger men who long warned Cordell Hull against appeasement Vincent, incidentally, was passed over twice for promotion by the old appeasers under Hull.
 Vincent has sent some tough young Far Eastern experts to work with Gen. MacArthur. Simul- taneously, Assistant Secretary of

NAVY GUESTS HAVE JUNEAU WELL IN HAND
Welcoming Program to Be Launched with Dance at
 EIks Hall Tonight

The town was turned over to the Navy last night.
 Shortly after the arrival here yes terday afternoon of the USS Pana- mint. USS Halford and USS Charleston, liberty parties began fil- tering ashore to renew their ac- quaintance with American civiliza- ticn after a long tour of duty along the Aleutian chain and across to Japan.
 Because of lack of definite infor- nation as to the Navy's own plans, Juneau had little in the way of eX- tra entertainment set for last eve ming. However, the American Legion held open house and many bluejac- kets made their headquarters there and at the USO as they took advan- tage of their free time to take a "gander" at Juneau. The Territorial Museum also was a popular place.
 Citizens today were approving of the excellent department displayed by the visitors last night.
 Events planned for today include sightseeing trips during the day light hours and a big dance this evening, to be given under the aus pices of the AWVS in the Elks Ball. room. Dancing will begin at goo and all Navy men can keep the pay they collected this morning in their "jears" For the sports minded, the High School Gym also will be the Navy's to command tonight. Basketball players are expected to take over there. The Legion Dugout will be the. scene of open house again after liberty hours begin at o'clock
 Tomorrow's schedule calls for more sightseeing in the afternoon, with two dances on tap in the eve ming. The USO will stage old-time square dancing at the Union Hall, while AB Hall will be opened up for the principal event, under the aus pices of the LOOP and the Persever- ance Lodge of Rebekahs.
 The Navy in turn. will begin play ing host to Juneau tomorrow. Proud of their ships, the Navy men will stand by to show visitors aboard from 1 o'clock until o'clock in the afternoon. Those same visiting hours will apply daily through next Monday, it has been announced.
 USO Is BuSy
 From the time shore leave was granted last night, the USO was crowded with sailors from the three naval vessels in port. Many sign ed the USO registration book, visit ed with former residents of their home states and in some instances

SCI. LEW AYRES !S BACK FROM FRONT:
 BUDDlES' pRAISES

SAN FRANCISCO, Oct. 25-Sgt. Lew Ayres, former film star shun- ned by the public when he refused to bear arms as a conscientious ob- jector, is back in his homeland to- day-a soldier praised by his bud dies as "a good guy and a good GI.'
 Yellowed from atabrine and look ing older than his 36 years, Ayres said he was uncertain about his future.
 T don't mean to be evasive about my plans, but just now I have the bewildered look and feelings of any soldier coming back through the Golden Gate" he grinned.
 Typical of the change in public feeling toward Ayres was his re- ception here yesterday when he walked down the gangplank of the Transport Cape Meares after 9 months of service in the Southeast Pacific.
 Applauded By Crowd
 It was a friendly and curious crowd that applauded him little more loudly than it did the other 1,746 Army men who debarked from the ship.
 And it was a different, quiet and almost shy man in wrinkled wool uniform whose answers to re- porters' queries were almost the same as those of any returning soldier: T just don't know. I must think about it. . A hard question to answer"
 He was sure of several things, however.
 He is not as ready to enter the ministry as reports from overseas had indicated: T want to do some thing more direct"
 Pacifi,t Work
 He plans to continue his pacifist work in some way or another. T want to do something to teach men to understand one another, to love each other as neighbors; l want to do anything I can to help world understanding.
 His early views on non-combat- sncy have been modified, but he never carried a weapon in his three and a half years of Army service.
 Ayres was transferred from a conscientious objectors' camp in oregon to the Medical Corps early in the war at his own request.

Kansas City, Mo, March o-(Up) Eight members of the ArmyS K-0 Corps have been awarded poSthu- nous citations for outstanding per- formancc of duty with the armed forces In the Southwest Pacific theater, according to officers at the Kansas City Quartermastcr Depot.
 These are the first official cita- tions for dogs although individual units in the theaters were permit ted to issue concentrations by publication in unit orders.

 Dogs Cited
 The dogs cited and their former owners arc:
 Sandy, messenger dog, Bernard M. Pitcher, 1919 N. Kenesaw St, Arlington, Vt.
 Lady, messenger dog, John c. Camario, Lewis and Delano Ave, Minersville, Pa.

 Found Hidden Foe
 Dick, one of the hardest working dogs, worked 48 out of 53 days without once failing to discover enemy presence first. He won his citation for not only detecting well-camouflaged bivouac but un- erringly alerting the only inhabited hut of five, permitting a surprise attack in which four Japanese were killed without 8 single Marine casualty.
 Duke led a 4-day patrol to cap ture prisoners which resulted in bagging six Japanese including two who were surprised in a hut alerted by the dog. He was cited for saving an American scouting party which was sent out to locate a Japanese evacuation point. The Americans were discovered and en- emy patrols sent to ambush them. The dogs frequent and unerring alerting enabled the scouting party to evade all traps and return safely

Ny S. BURTON HEATH NEA Stan CNKfeNnNnllNnl

New York, March Q - After weks of strenuous effort, the ma. tions railroads, have not yet suc- ceedcd in re-estahliShing normal operations after the bliEsards tn the northeast that began in early De- cember. They are making progress, but experts say that 1t may bc sev- eral weeks more before the roads attain what in wartime Is nor- malcy.
 Coal cars have been "unfroEen" enough so that mining no longer is delayed by pileups of fuel for which there is no method of re. moval. Tankers have returned to normal movement, carrying fuel oil aind gasoline to areas that need them badly. But box cars Still are very, very tight.
 From Chicago come stories of grain price rises due to the critical shortage of cars. This is due in part to the fact that the crop now awaiting shipment was the largest in history, and in part to the fact tht grain requires the same top- B. dOO UOA CdA . btiOtA HkG ttC0NpV LOE munitions. But neither Of these, nor both, would have caused such great difficulty if the blizzards had not disrupted the movement, loading and unloading of box cars SO badly, WORK DOUBLED
 Unless some new hazard develops, It appears that the railroads this winter will have weathered condl- tions much worse than those which, in World War l, caused the govern ment to take over the roads.
 When World War II loomed on the horizon, the roads manage ments resolved that there should be no possible excuse for Gov ernment operation this time. Long before Pearl Harbor they had or ganized to handle whatever burden the war might dump on their shoul- derS.

 Meanwhile, from Pearl Harbor to the end of l944, the roads hauled 2B,000, 900 uniformed men and wo- men In organized troop movements. usually long ones, and moved 225,- 0O0, 900 tons of freight and express for the War Department alone, These figures do not include the millions of uniformed passengers travelling as individuals on leave or furlough; they take no account of the frantic travelling of government civilian officials and industrial em- ployes in connection with war work; they ignore freight and express movements directly connected with war production but done in the name of private industries.
