 Through the medium of fortune telling dissention is spread to the American people who go to hear what the future has in store for them. They are told to be kind to Germany to have pity on the Japs and to refrain from buying bonds for the Seventh War Loan.
 Perhaps if the fortune teller had gazed in his crystal ball and read his own future he would have seen the District Attorney Clay Jostyn) with his able staff of Harrington Glen Doyle) and Miss Miller (Vicki Vola) bearing down on him to once more prove that criem doesn't pay.

 With their expanded army the Argentine dictators have already rehearsed invasion of Uruguay, underground leaders report. They have concentration camps for thou sands of arrested liberals, torture chambers for members of the un- derground. There are several move ments, but Patria Libre is the most aggressive. It has members every where, including high Army com- mands.
 STUDENTS ACTIVE
 There are many university students in their ranks, Patria Libre leaders say, but there are also teachers and office and fac- tory workers, totaling a surpris- ingly large proportion of Argen- tina's IA millions. The most active wing are 10000 well organized Con-
 munists, but there are wealthy members. intellectuals, women, like all effective secret services, they are grouped, without membership records, into small cells, knowing only one another, operating under different leaders, from headquar- ters often changed.
 These refugees help comrades to escape, and support their fam. flies. They have many ways to fight oppression. They soap streets to trip policemen's horses. They tele- phone leading militarists: What number is this!y Then they cry: Wrong number! Give me ibertad'!" Spanish for liberty" also the name of a Buenos Aires telephone ex- change)
 But Patria Lbre does more. It influences munitions workers to slow up. It causes strikes on rail- roads and at air bases. It tied up the biggest government refinery, where 2,0O0 workers demonstrated for release of comrades until troops had to- take over. A student strike forced out "Facist" university president

Thse are rehearsals for the big show the undergrounds friends say it will put on some day-a general strike including part of the Army, which would tie up Argentina gen. erally, Patria Libre expects success, for its labor movement is strong. The next step would be revolution. Friends of the underground say Patria Libre would form govern ment whose democracy and friend- ship for this country would be sin- cere and not a nasty fake, like that of the Colonels.
 Dread of Patria Libre moved the Colonels recently to clamp on again the censorship they had recently lifted to proof of their newborn democracy" and to arrest many remaining opponents of real democ- racy. The Colonels allegedly dis covered a plot to assassinate them and launch a revolution, at the celebration of the fall of Berlin. They forbade this celebration with machine guns, knowing it would be even more humultuous than was the CClCOl dOAOl4 VI OA1S INV of Paris
 PRo-DEMoCRATIC
 Most Argentinians are pro- democratic, their friends here say. They are also pro-United Nations even pro-North American. But our State Departments recognition of Argentina's military dictatorship and admission of its representatives at San Francisco has hurt and angered many of the Argentine people, notably those who want to be our friends and allies.
 A Patria Libre representative re- ports that our State Department told him, You have our moral sup porty The Argentinian replied: Thanks. Please don't support our enemies too. If you do, we reserve freedom of action"
 Now, say Patria Libre and other friends of democracy here and in Latin America, we have betrayed friends we promised to support.
