hands of the public from $549,000
to S435 600, making a $113,500 reduc-
ton, including a cut of $4,000 since
last June.

i945. the paper companys net

lished surplus of $l0l 639. after
deducting 67,666 depreciation, the
letter says.

OnicIals at McCloskey General
hospital broke army secrecy to
disclose full details Of the develop
ment in this country, by three
army dentists, of a new plastic
eye superior to anything turned
out by the scientists Of any land.
Our new plastic eyes are su-
perior in every way TO the glass
ones the Germans have been turn
ing out for generations" said Maj.
r. A. Mitchell. chief of the artifi-
cial eye laboratory at McCloskey.
They last lifetime, they can't
be broken, and they defy detec-
tion."
Only 20 Men Qualified
Only 90 men in the U. 8. Army
can make the plastic eyes-which
won't be available to civilians until
after the war-and before they
started production late last year
the glass eye situation in the
United States was critical.
Back Of that was the German
monopoly on the glass eye indus
try. Handed down secrets Of their
trade from father to son, few
German families who did their
work by hand had for years before
the war turned out almost all OF
the worlds artificial eyes.
The entire American supply came
from Germany. When war came, it
appeared black patches would be In
order when the reserve supply ran
out. No one in America, it seemed,
could even duplicate the lifelike ap-
pearance Of the German product.
Then three dental officers, who
have turned their patents over to
the government for the duration,
stumbled on the secret of life-like
plastic eyes.
Now every CT who loses an eye
In combat gets a replacement,
made especially for him to his
exact measurements.

was plastic when I'd see one of

Extremists
Plot Fails

Buenos Aires, April 26.-(UP)-
A number Of persons were held in
custody today following discovery Of
an extremist plot which the govern
ment said was designed to nullify
Argentinas recent action on inter-
national policy.
The action referred to presum-
ably was Argentina's declaration OF
war on the Axis and Its signing OF
the Chapultepec Act.
A government communique issued
last night described the plotters as
thoroughly reactionary, although
they attempted to give their activ-
ity a semblance Of a democratic
movement.
"a detachment Of troops moved
into the Palermo district OF Buenos
Aires from the Campo De Mayo
army base, as a precautionary meas
ure, against possible disturbances in
connection with the fall Of Ber-
lin," the communique said.
Authoritative reports reaching
Montevideo from Buenos Aires said
that Vice President Col. Juan T.
Peron, Argentina strong man, had
submitted his resignation Tuesday
but that no action had been taken
yet by the government)
Peron defended his social reform
program in a speech yesterday be-
fore meeting Of the Inter-Ameri-
can Economic Institute in honor Of
the late President Roosevelt.
The communique did not Identify
or give the number Of persons held
in connection with the plot, al
though the Socialist newspaper, La
Vanguard, said its editor America
Ghioldi had been arrested.
The General Workers Federation
meantime issued statement de-
scribing the plot as an attempt by
the "Nad-Fascist Alliance and rep
resentatives Of the most reactionary
elements of capitalism" to take over
the government. The attempt was
now definitely under control" the
statement added.

WAOAAAAAOAD
Deputy Prime Minister And Lord
President OF The Council OF The
United Kingdom
Written For United Press)
San Francisco, April 26-(UP)-
We of the United Kingdom delega-
ton at San Francisco are Of vari-
Gus political opinions. But we all
want equally to build Up something
that will enable us more securely
to 60 ahead and raise the standard
of life of all our people and build
up a worthwhile life for all.
And we see In this conference
the possibility of building up an or
ganization which will have its neg
alive side, the prevention Of war,
and its positive side, the build up
Of organizations for home better
ment and social progress.
We think there should go out
from this great assembly Of repre-
sentatives OF the nations state
ment OF the principles on which all
the peoples of the world can live
together as good neighbors. We
want to build this machinery, and
we want to create at the same time
the spirit that is going to make the
machinery work.
And I think that We have to
have in our minds the people who
are very, very tired of war, and
particularly all of those, who have
been doing the fighting. I remem-
Der very we'll coming to the end Of
the last war, In which served. I
remember the hopes and feelings
that we had during the closing
stages of that war of 19l4-1918. 1
can remember talking to the lead
ers in my country, saying: What
kind of world is going to be built
up Will we have to do this over
again.
have been in parliament since
1922. When came IN, our hopes
of building peace on firm founda-
lions were strong. And have seen
the whole course of that inter-war
period in which we slipped away
from peace-the building up OF
great ornaments again, and then
this war. Therefore, I feel very
clearly what l am sure Is IN the
minds of all the fighting men OF
the United Nations.
We have come to this conference
with our ideas on how those things
can best be done. I suppose all the
delegates coming to this conference
know that none of US shall get eX-
actly what we want. We come to
discuss, to work out, to get agree
ment-the best possible agreement.

EIIender Has
Idea On Meat
~ ANN HICKS

washington. April 2e.-(UP)-
Gen. Allen J. Ellender, D., La, sug-
gested today that the once Of
Price Administration even the dis
tribution of meat supplies by charg-
ing more red points per pound In
sections where meat In plentiful.
Ellender said that now folks who
live where the meat is produced
can buy all they want while those
who live elsewhere have red points
they can't spend.
Someone might be eating your
share Of meat right now" Ellender
said, "just because that someone
lives where they produce meat"
Ellender, a member Of the senate
food investigating committee, Of
fc-ed his suggestion to OPA as the
committee called before 1t represen-
tatives Of eight big packing houses
with branch ofilces In Washington.
The senator's are trying to learn
JUS how much meat has been sent
int othe capital in the last six
months and where 1t went.
Meantime, house food investiga-
tors put their support behind New
York Mayor Fiorello H. LaGuardia s
recommendation that a federal food
car be appointed to direct the
country's food program.
Chairman Clinton P. Anderson,
D., N. NJ, disclosed in New York
that his group will recommend that
OPA and War Food Administration
controls over production, distribu-
ton and prices be merged under
single administrator.
House Republicans already have
sent a resolution to President Tru-
man urging such action.

James A. Bethea, head of Nc
Closkey hospital 1T can't be done"
The old glass eyes varied slight
ly in shade from a real eye. The
plastic eyes, made individually for
each patient, match perfectly. The
old glass eyes occasionally burst
when the wearer walked from O
hot room into the cold. The new
ones are indestructible. The old
glass eyes pitted and had to be
replaced as body acids wore on
them. The new ones are impervious
to tissue.
The Job he's proudest of, Mai.
Mitchell said, is the pair Of plastic
eyes he made for 1t. Wayland
Swain Of Dalton, Ca, a young
of1cer blinded in the explosion
OF long mine in Europe.
He said his eyes were medium
blue, so We made him a pair, said
the major. Ills wife says they are
Identical to his real eyes. And when
nurses who don't know the man is
blind go into the room, they always
hand him something to read"
Duplicate Eye Shading
First step in manufacture of the
plastic eyes is painting of a thin
celluloid disc which becomes the
iris of the eye and duplicates the
exact shading of the patients
natural eye.
