South America Eager
To Settle Argentine
Problem al Meeting
BY the Associated Press.

MONTEVIDEO, Uruguay, Feb. IL.
An effort by South American ma
tions to settle the Argentine prob
lem is expected at the conference of
American foreign ministers which
opens February 81 in Mexico City.
Brazil, Venezuela and Colombia
have declared the question of Ar
gentina's continued diplomatic iso-
lation to be one of the major issues
facing the Western Hemisphere.
South American countries believe
the Argentine case is closely con-
nected with other leading Latin
American aims:
!. Fostering world trade to assure
markets for Latin American raw
materials.
2. Continued cooperation between
the United States and Latin Amer
lea to further industrialization and
raise living standards below the Rio
Grande.
Autos and Trucks Sought.
3. Arrangements to get automo-
biles, trucks and machinery as soon
as possible to stimulate production.
4. A greater voice for Latin Amer
lea in the proposed world security
organization. Latin America wants
a seat on the council
5. Revamping the Pan American
Union, or setting up new organ
ization. to function as a regional set
up within the framework of the
world security project.
Argentina, normally a political
and economic leader in South Amer
lea, was not invited to Mexico City
because she is accused OF non-co-
operation in the war effort. The
government of Gen. Edelmiro Far
rell also has been accused of Fascist
tendencies, and the United States
made it plain that the military
clique must change its ways to get
back in the American family.
Most Latin American countries
have gone along with the nom
recognition policy of the United
States, but few South American
governments have spoken strongly
for it. Chile, Bolivia, Paraguay and
Ecuador have normal relations with
the Farrell regime.
Brazil Will Try for Solution.
Brazil's delegation to Mexico City
Is prepared to try for a solution. 1t
will be headed by Pedro Leao Velloso,
acting Foreign Minister, a veteran
career diplomat and anti-Fascist
whose recall as Ambassador to
Rome was requested by Mussolini
in 1941.
Leao Velloso has not said kind
words about the Argentine govern
ment, but has labeled the problem
important and stressed the need for
pan-American unity.
Venezuelan Foreign Minister PARA
Perez announced he would do all he
could to settle the issue.
Columbia stated it hoped Argen-
tina would be heard.
In Buenos Aires both the govern
ment and its opponents have
watched conference preparations
Farrelrs Prestige Suffers.
Failure to get recognition hurt
Gen. Farrell's prestige. And Argen-
tina fears that she may be left out
of postwar economic agreements.
The domestic situation has become
delicate. Fuel shortages cannot be
remedied until Argentina gets back
on good terms with the United
States. A severe drought, damaging
grain crops and pastures, is threat
ening to bring rural unemployment.
All Of this may speed up move
for elections and a return to normal.
If elections were called, and if
Argentina were to stop sword-rat-
ting at her neighbors, solution of
her diplomatic problem might be
found.

membered the story vividly, and they
were inclined to be caustic about the
presence of the lieutenant's charges.
1t. Barnett was Strengthened out
about the whole affair as soon as he
got here. 1t was just as well, too.
He had begun to feel pretty bitter
about the way the country had
changed in it's attitude toward dumb

Salvage Plans
 To Terminate

Announcement was made yester- day of the termination of the State Salvage Committee, as of Septem- Der 30.
 Walter K. Hjelm in making the announcement, stated that. the need for waste paper is still critical and each community will be asked to provide for its own paper program. MT. Kjelm went on to add, in praise of the excellent work of those in charge of salvage collections: They have just cause" he said, "to be proud of their activities as salvage workers"
 Although Waterbury's plans as to future salvage collections are un- certain, Warren J. Upson announced last night that the scheduled col- lection of tin cans will proceed as planned for the North side. of the City Saturday; and that a city wide paper drive will be conducted Sat- urday, August 29.

UnsettIement On Bonus Pay Wur LoboF Boord
 Again Receives
 ABC Case

For the third time, failure Of c. I. o. representatives and officials of the American Brass co. to agree on payment of a compensatory bonus to 2,500 employees in the Wa terbury, Torrington, and Ansonia plants, has sent the dispute back to the War Labor Board.
 The boards in New York. Boston, and Washington, all handed down decisions directing the company to pay the bonus. When the National panel issued its order last April, the company asked the board for clar- ification of it's order. The appeals section of the board subsequently, re- ceived the case and suggested that the two parties try to settle the matter themselves.

 Lively Tilt On Pensions
 COP. Gains Point
 To Amend Proposed
 Setup

The Board of Aldermen last night referred to committee of live Dy unanimous vote, reSolution amending the city pension law.
 The amendment provided that the pension law should not apply to po- licemen and firemen now in the efn- ploy of the city or on leave of ab. sence in the armed forces. It added that the law should apply to all others entering the employ of the city after Jan. i, 1046 when the new pension la,: goes into effect.
 Alderman Joseph Reiner (R) tn- troduced the amendment, which was seconded .y Alderman William J.. Kolbeck (R). Majority Leader James M. Lynch moved that com mittee of three be appointed by the chair to consider the amendment and consult with the corporation counsel, declaring that amending the charter was a serious matter which should be considered care fully before any action was taken. Alderman Richard D. Bensen tRl suggested that five members should be on the committee and Lynch agreed.
 Alderman Reiner promptly ac- cused the men of "stalling for time. . He declared that it was not neces- sary for the committee to consult with the corporation. counsel De- cause the aldermen had the power under the city charter to pass an amendment and recommend it to the voters.
 Alderman Martin Sullivan CD bolted party lines and was the only member of the Board to vote in favor of permitting Atty. Maurice Gruskay to continue a talk in favor of the amendment.
 MT. Gruskay said that the pension bill had been rushed through the legislature without adequate consid- eration, and predicted that within the next 10 years study would have to be made to set up the ne- cessary changes.
 Mir. Gruskay said that firemen and policemen had contributed tWe per cent to pensions in compari- son to the five per cent that they will have to pay under the pension law.
 He said that from the point oi view of figures it was obviously an inequality that policemen and firemen should pay five per cent while teachers and general em'
 ployes only contributed three pel cent.

No Revival For Able
 Irish Rose
Rv LACK GAVER

(United Press stan COrreSpOnuentJ
 New York, Aug. 28-(UP)-1f anyone around the country missed seeing the touring stage revival Of ..Abie,s Irish Rose" in the past three seasons, it's just too bad. It won't be on display in 1945-46.
 For one thing, the touring corl- panies (there were two in the 1943- A season) have hit about every place that could muster a quorum. Secondly, there are the current transportation difficulties, which are expected to continue for most of the current season at least. Dur- ing the season just closed there were a couple of places where the cona- pany had to play without scenery because of railroad tangles.
 Film Rights Sold
 Another thing that has minor bearing on the matter was con- firmed yesterday from Hollywood by Ann Nichols, the author and sole proprietor of this hardy peren- nial which has made her fortune after fortune. She has sold the talking picture rights to Bing Crosby Productions and work on it should be in progress soon. Miss Nichols expects to spend several months collaborating on the screen treatment and will have no time to bother with experimenting a road company.
 It may sound odd to refer to sale of the talking picture" rights in these days when almost everyone has forgotten there was such a thing as silent film. But it's quite correct in this case because Able" was sold once before to films. Para mount paid about $300,000 when the play stiIl was setting its long, run record on Broadway back in the late 20's, but it got only the silent rights. The cagy Miss Nichols doesn't miss any bets where "Abie" is concerned.
 Who can say even now that "Abie" has finished its days as a touring stage attraction? Certainly not Miss Nichols. There are bound to- be other seasons, whether g JCd1 OG AVC yCd4o 4AOAAl 44OWs

trees have suffered extensive damage. They're pretty tough. And the Dutch. though they were admittedly hurried, weren't very successful in applying the scorch- ed earch" policy to the rubber trees.
 Rubber requires lot of labor. It takes two men a year. working full time. to produce ton of rubber. And 1t is believed that the Japs had trouble getting enough labor to work the plantations to capacity.
 If this Is true. it probably means that 8 lot of fast-growing jungle will have to be cut back before the trees can again be tapped. That will be a considerable job. But many of the trees, when they are tapped, will have been rested for four years and hence will yield more latex; Mean while the new tires, when they ar- rive, will be synthetic.
