III venture" says Arthur, that
there are more good stories in the
public domain than Hollywood has
ever made. Not every Tom, Dick,
or Harry can take these master
pieces and translate them to the
screen successfully. Take Conrad,
for example. Every effort to trans
fer his sea stories to the screen has
Topped. So we accept the lazy
mans explanation and agree that
Conrad makes fine reading but can't
be screened. Posh! He'll be
screened one day by someone who'll
know how.

NAVY MAY SLASH
RELEASE POINTS

WASHINGTON, Sept. 22.-R)-
Odds are that the Navy will slash
its discharge point requirements on
or about November /.
Orders have not been signed,
but indications are the critical
scare for male officers will be
reduced from 46 to A, and for
enlisted men possibly from A to
40. Waves scores, already low,
may remain unchanged.
The Navy is the only service
which has not already lowered its
score, although it recently added
credit for service at sea or over

Collins, He Says,
After Losing Contest

Charles R. Fenwick Of Arlington
last night promised to support Lewis
P. Collins for lieutenant governor
of Virginia, following a decision
earlier in the day by Judge Julien
Gum of the Richmond City Circuit
Court, which took the Democratic
nomination from Mr.. Fenwick and
gave it to Mr.. Collins.
In telephone message from Vir-
ginia Beach to Edmund c. Camp
bell, his Arlington campaign man
ager, Mr.. FenWick said he intends
ito vote for all of the Democratic
nominees" and urged his friends
to follow suit. On the basis of Off
cial returns, Mr.. Fenwick had a
Statewide lead of 572 votes in the
August primary.
The official order supporting Mr..
Collins contest of the Fenwick NOM
ination will be signed by Judge
Gum in Richmond tomorrow.
Meanwhile, attorneys for Mr.. COL
Inns began drafting notices to all
Virginia election boards to substi-
tute the name of Mr.. Collins for
that of Mr.. Fenwick on ballots for
the November general elections.
Both Sides Blameless.
In his decision, Judge Gum alb
solved both Mr.. FenWick and Mr..
Collins of any personal connection
with the Wise County irregularities.
Judge Gums action, throwing
out more than $500 votes cast in
Wise County because of election ir-
regularities gave Mr.. Collins COM
Portable ma ajority. Mr.. FenWick had
received a plurality of 3,185 in Wise
County. Mr.. Collins charged the
balloting in Wise was fraudulent.
When his attorney sought to ex-
anime poll books under a court order
25 were missing.
In the light of the court order,
Mr., Fenwick said last night:
Il accept the decision, although
! regret that hundreds of honest
citizens in Wise County are deprived
of their vote in the primaries be-
cause of the wrongful acts of a few
individuals. I intend to vote for all

tions against the government of
appeared certain today,
Spruille Braden, ambassador to
who has just returned
here to become Assistant Secretary
of State for Latin American affairs,
began conferences with top Amerl-
can officials. The talks provide a
review of this country's whole
policy toward the Argentine regime
Authorities considered it newt
able that Mr.. Braden'S report, at
least in substance, will be passed
on as quickly as possible to the
governments of all other Western
Hemisphere nations except Argen-
tina and that the views of those
governments will be sought.
Reply Falls on Deaf Ears.
Argentina's reply to a cautious
United States diplomatic warning
against repressive measures fell or
deaf ears here. John M. Cabot
ranking diplomat at the embassy
in Argentina now that Mr.. Brader
is back here, informed Foreign Min
lister Juan Cooke that widespread
arrests and suspension of demo-
cratic rights in Argentina over the
past several days would have a de
plorable effect" on American public
opinion.
Mr.. Cookies defense was that the
measures were necessary to put
down a conspiracy and avoid grave
happenings" Officials here privately
make plain that Washington policy
is to favor the growth of democracy
in Argentina, even if it means the
people oust the militarist govern
ment by any means.
The strong impression here is that
the government at Buenos Aires
took advantage of an abortive revo.
lutionary attempt to crack down or
all anti-government groups ano
leaders in the country-Whethel
revolutionary or not.
