BY the Associated Press.
NEW YORK, Nov. l4.-Spruille
Braden, Assistant Secretary of State,
said today that the United States
neither sought to establish a West
ern Hemisphere economic bloc nor
would countenance foreign political
meddling by its nationals"
Outlining this country's trade pol
icy in the Americas, Mr.. Braden
declared in a speech before the
luncheon session of the National
Foreign Trade Convention that
financial aid to the Latin American
countries need not end with the war.
He said that to cushion the effect
of stoppage of war purchases in
Latin America, I'VE have arranged
in some instances to pay on slid
ing scale in the cutback period"
and that I'VE are ready always to
discuss these cutback problems with
the vendor countries
In an apparent allusion to Argen-
tina, Mr.. Braden declared that the
American republics, with the no.
torious exception of one govern
ment," had splendid record of
economic cooperation"

Agencies Urged TO Pay

The Civil Service Commission
asked Federal agencies today to
expedite payment of final salary,

have been dismissed from their jobs.
The commission acted after mem
bers of Congress reported that they
had received complaints from dis
missed Government employees that
final payments were delayed for
weeks.
These procedures were suggested:
l. Each agency or department
definitely fix responsibility on a spe-
cific official within the unit for elm
mating delays.
2. This official be designated to
receive inquiries or complaints re-
garding any such delays.
3. Dismissed employees be notified
how much time will elapse before
payment of final salary and lump
sum leave payments, and be given

Former Georgetown Professor
To Assist in Trial of Nuzis
Col. Dostert Spent a
Years Under Germans
During World War

A former Georgetown University
language department head, who
spent four years during the World
War under the Germans in their
occupation of his native town of
Longwy, France, today is taking an
important part in the. trial of the
Nazis who started World War II.
He is Col. Leon E. Dostert, 1914
Quesada street NV, who served as
aide de camp to Gen. Henri Giraud
when he came to the United States
in July, 1943. Col. Dostert will be in
charge of interpreters at the Nuern-
burg trials starting November 20.
Sole survivor of his family. Col.
Dostert was brought to the United
States after the World War by an
American Army officer, Henri St.
Pierre. He was taken to South
Pasadena, Calf, where he went to
school and was graduated from Oc-
cidental College He came to Wash
ington in 1926 to study at the For
eign Service School at Georgetown
University, remaining as a teacher
after his graduation in 1928.

that it will not be possible to pursue
all of the leads suggested since the
inquiry started, without an extern
sion of time.
Senator Brewster, Republican, of
Maine, made known he is trying to
find out if this Government had any
understanding with the British,
Chinese and Dutch for mutual de-
fense against japanese attack in the
Pacific.
Representative Gearhart, Repub-
hcan. of California, said he would
inquire into reports that the naval
vessels in Pearl Harbor on Decem-
ber 7. 1941. were not in readiness for
attack because a military inspection
had just been ordered. which re-
quires the opening of air-tight COM
partments in the hold of warship.
Representative Keefe, Republican,
of Wisconsin prepared to take the
floor in the House this afternoon
for a further discussion of his
charges that efforts have been made
to break down testimony given in
earlier Pearl Harbor probes by Capt.
Alvin D. Kramer, a naval intel
igence officer.
Mr.. Gearhart and Mr.. Keefe
praised FBI Director j. Edgar
Hoover for the type of alert he gave
his agents in Hawaii 10 days before
the attack. Mr.. Gearhart told re-
porJers there would not have been
a Pearl Harbor disaster if the Army
and Navy had given similar alerts
TO their forces in the islands.
Senator Brewster told reporters
that William D. Mitchell, the COM
mittees counsel, had expressed an
unwillingness to ask if there are
any files showing the existence of
pre-Pearl Harbor Internal tional
understanding regarding mutual de-
fense in the Pacific. The Senator
said counsel took the position it
would have been illegal for a
President to enter into such an
agreement.
Senator Brewster said also that
he has asked the State Department
for any files it may have on the
Tyler Kent case He said he and
Senator Ferguson, Republican, OF
Michigan, want to find out if they
indicate any signs of American in
volvement in the war before the
japanese attacked Pearl Harbor.
Mr.. Kent, q code clerk in the
American Embassy in London, was
convicted in 1910 of violation of the
British official secrets act, and given
a seven-year sentence, which was
shortened for good behavior. Sena-
tor Brewster said it has been the
general understanding that Mr.
Kent was in charge of coding and

President Roosevelt and Winston

Whats the Score

Reports from the southwest say that grain elevators are filled and part of the new wheat crop is being dumped because of lack of transportation from elevator to miller. The Office of Defense Trans portation says that the railroads are carrying more grain now than at the comparable period last year, and that the situation is well ifl hand
 Somebody seems to be wrong, and everybody seems to be confused And this isn't the first instance on the war time food record when those concerned didn't know what the score was.
 Perhaps the score will be kept bet ter when Rep. Clinton Anderson as- sumes his new double job as Secre- tary of Agriculture and War Food Ad- ministrator. The job merger should help. And it will help more if MT. An derson can manage to maintain clos CT liaison with the various agencies who seem to be going their separate ways to solve the increasingly perplexing prob lem of getting food out of the fields and of the range and onto the wartime table.

TT TAKES SOME CRANKING

(The Christian Science Monitor
 Remember the two-quart White Mountain ice-cream freezer? You know, the one that had the picture os snow crested mountain on its bright green bucket. If recollections are hay, look up the one you toss ed under the cellar bench. For if you want steady supply of this frozen dessert this summer you'd better get used to the idea of cranking out your own. Commercial manufacturers report there isn't go- ing to be half enough to go around because of the sugar shortage.
 The process is quite simple. All you need is four-pound aX. a tough burlap bag, a 25-cent piece of ice. and some coarse salt. After you pack the cracked ice and salt alternately around the container, the cranking begins. And it stops only when you can't turn the crank with two hands.
 Removing the dasher is the pleasantest task of all and involves the entire family. A large platter and spoons should be provided, so all may have sample taste. While the children are licking the dasher and platter clean, the ice cream is packed in oce until dinner time.
 Perhaps we should say a word
The Waterbury Democrat., 1945-06-21

The woman who had made quite a success listened to her friend as she recited her plans. Finally she said, Don't plan so much. I should say as matter of sound business principle that the thing you need most is to get on good terms with the Lord. It is a very amazing thing" she continued, "the way schemes work themselves out. once we get the idea into our minds that We are not the chief factors of our own success. There is a power working behind all that we do''
 You think I am successful" she continued. well, I am, and yet l have planned very few of my successful ventures. have simply made it point to be on hand when opportunity turns up, and am convinced that power above my own presents that opportunity at precisely the time it should be pre- Sented'

short conflict brought no such lack of essentials as we are experiencing today.
 Yet the House has voter itself $2,500, tax-free salary increase, in the form of an expense account, which is 10 per cent above the Is per cent wage increase al- lowed under the hold-the-line Little Steel formula. The Senate had the grace to de- cline this dividend. But it passed the Wherry amendment to the OPA extension bill which would put farm prices on an extravagant cost-plus basis, open the door to higher retail prices or bigger susidies, and invite inflation
 The two Houses of Congress may differ in their methods of encouraging the in- flationary trend, but they seem to share the same lack of prudence and vision in the matter
