Argentina Crippled
By Strike Of Unions
Col. Peron
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
BUENOS AIRES, Oct. 18.-Ar-
gentina's industrial and COM
mercial activity was brought
nearly to a stop today by a ma
tion-wide strike of 100000 MEM
bers of the General Confedera-
tion of Workers supporting Col.
Juan Peron, former Vice PreSi-
dent, who has returned to power
after being in eclipse for nine
days.
At the same time, high source
said the Argentine fleet had moved
out of its base at Puerto Belgrano,
500 miles south of Buenos Aires.
Destination of the feet was un-
known, but Admiral Hector Vernen-
go Lima, a leader of the movement
which ousted Peron on October 8,
was in turn thrown out of Office yes
terday in the political upheaval
which saw Peron returned to a po-
sition of dominance.
Peron himself, after forcing the
formation of a cabinet of his friends,
hailed the strike as celebrating "a
day of glory for the workers"
Demonstrations Held.
Thousands of idle workers took to
the streets in Buenos Aires today
and conducted demonstrations on
Perons behalf.
The railroad union said train traffic
was completely stopped throughout
the nation. Buenos Aires transporta-
ton facilities were described as
completely paralyzed" Streetcars,
subways and buses and taxis were
stopped in the capital. There were
few delivery trucks or private cars
on the streets. Only the smallest
commercial shops were open.
Light, water and telephone service
continued, however.
The Buenos Aires Stock Exchange
suspended its activities.

DrelU Pearson Says:
Moscow Farley Must Cure Worlds Ms or Another War WiU Follow

WASHINGTON, Dec. A-This Christmas Eve finds Secretary of State James F. Byrnes in Moscow on the most important mission of his long and varied career It not too much to say that upon his talks may depend in large part whether we have peace or war within the next generation.
 In a very real sense, Byrnes is endeavoring to carry out the spirit and principles which Man born in Bethlehem gave mankind 20OO years ago and never attained during the selfish and sometimes bloody years that followed.
 ByrneS started on his momentous mission with the best will in the world but little advance preparation That however was not his fault It IS extremely dif- fcult these days to prepare things with the Russians in advance If the Secretary of State sends for the British ambassador, he talks to a former Minister of Foreign Affairs who talk with authority as virtual member of the British Cabinet But if he sends for the Russian ambassador he meets nice but inexperienced former secretary who says that he must refer everything to Moscow.
 That is what Byrnes has now done. He has re-

 Nominations
 Top nominations today are:
 ALBERT PAUL Editor, Waterbury Democrat Dear Sir:
 I would like to nominate Albert Paul as my choice of the Man of the Year because of the grand job he did organizing our afraid war dens during the war years. He not only gave his time and energy in organizing this group but spent many added hours in featuring at school, social groups, etc.. on the precautions. His health was im- paired because of this sacrifice. MT Paul is also very efficient and popular teacher at Crosby High School. He is also very fine family man. Because of these and many other fine traits I nominate MT. Paul as my choice for Man of the Year 1945 to be announced in

ferred the matter to Moscow-in person.
 He has wisely taken with him the advisers who are most sy1hpathetic to the Russians, leaving be- hind those who have always tangled in Soviet hair He is doing his level best to succeed.
 Probably, in view of all this, ByrneS will be able to work out some kind of agreement. But experienced diplomats fear that it will be only a patchwork agreement and that if the whole problem is not settled, the patching will have to be done again and again with the whole fabric eventually pulling apart Specifically, Byrnes will not succeed in getting the Russians out of northern Iran nor will he be able to adjust the Soviet dispute with Turkey.
 Meanwhile, military minds both in the United States and Great Britain feel that the Russians are doing exactly the same thing Hitler did between 1886 and 1889, when he gradually edged into the Rhine land then Austria, then Czechoslovakia
 This of course, is the ultra a-pessimistic view but it is held in same high Anglo-American councils so cannot be ignored.

Tragic Christr,as Fire
 Four Menden Children Burned to Death Today
Parents in Critical Condition: One Tot In Family Lives

Meriden, Conn.,, Dec. 24-- (UP)-.Fire swept the third floor apartment today of MT. and Mrs. Ernest White, causing the death Of four of their five chill dren and critical burns to the par ents.
 The dead were Lawrence, i0 James. 8, Joseph 3, and Thomas aged three-months.
 Another child, Janet, age 6, was saved.
 Defective Burner
 According to police, the fire prob ably started from a defective oil burner in the living room of their five-room flat.
 Neighbors turned in a still fire alarm and dashed through the dense smoke to bring the family into the open.
 The children, however, were dead when they were removed to the street and 1t was believed that they were suffocated before the fire spread into the bedrooms.
 Janet escaped injury and suffered only mildly from smoke inhalation. White, an employe of the Inter- national Silver Co., and 38 years old, sustained third degree burns and his condition, at Meriden hos pital. Was said to be critical.
 His wife, Treva, 35, also was ser- iously burned and her name was on the danger list.
 Others Endangered
 Two other families, occupying the first and second floors of the frame building, were driven into the street. Some helped in the rescue. The bodies of the dead children were found in their rooms. The parents, unconscious, apparently had been overcome as they slept.
 Deputy Fire Chief Arthur Harris said that Mrs. White and Janet were the first to be removed from the apartment, which accounted for the girl being virtually unharmed. He said that as he made his way into the Smoke-filled place, he stumbled over the form of White, who lay huddled near window. He called to lieutenant and the father was taken to the hospital.
 The children who died, said Har- ris, were badly burned.
 Harris siad that the oil heater, portable type, apparently became overheated and went up in flames. The temperature at the time the fire was discoyeNd was below zero.
