terday when Brazil's superior elec-
toral tribunal ruled that the Con-
gress to be elected December

pearances stressing that the time il

We had to call upon our papers to
curtail their use of paper-very life
blood OF a newspaper. The newspa-
pers of America co-operated ~
Mr.. Nelson, president of the So
ciety Of Independent Motion Picture
Producers, asserted America must
lead in ideas as well as in pro-
duction = the world will judge
America largely by its press, for as

would cause the Argentine people
to get rid of their government.
At the Mexico City Inter-Ameri-
can conference in April, Rookie
teller Joined with representatives
of other American states in. bid
for Argentina to reenter the fami-
ly of nations. Argentina then
committed herself to work for the
Allied cause and declared war on
the Axis, and the United States
recognized the Argentine govern
ment April 9.
Braden's assignment as ambas-
sador followed. Now his recall to
be assistant secretary in charge
not only of Argentine but all other
Inter-American policies is regard
ed here as emphatic endorsement
of the policies he has pursued.
Secretary Byrnes in statement
on the appointment said these
policies are to be "continued with
unremitting vigor."
The SHIFT leaves the American
embassy at Buenos Aires under
the direction of Charge 'Affaires
Edward L. Reed. There is much
expectation here that new Am
bassador may not be appointed
for some time.
Braden is the third man appoint
ed to top state department posi-
tons by Byrnes. Previously he
had named Dean Acheson to be
under secretary, promoting him
from an assistant secretaryship.
From the office of General George
c. Marshall he had obtained 49,
year-old Frank Mccarthy, secre-
tary to the army's general staff,
to serve ncivilian capacity as
assistant secretary of state in
charge of personnel and adminiD
tratiOn.
