MONTEVIDEO, Uruguay, Oct
s.-The United States and Ar
gentina repeatedly have come to
an agreement which, If carried
out, will break the diplomatic
deadlock between the two ma
tons.
Argentine government officials
claim Argentina has agreed to take
action against some IS smaI-fry
Nazis in that country and to ma

United States will back down on
its demand that all top Nazi off,
cials be deported to Germany.
United States Ambassador George
8. Messersmith has persistently de-
clined to discuss publicly his series
of talks with President Juan Do

that he has agreed tentatively to
overlook Argentina's refusal to de-
port the German Ludwig Freuds
and its reluctance to proceed against
Heinrich Doerge, economist and
former aide to Hjalmar Schacht, ex.
Reichsbank president acquitted last
week in the Nuremberg war crimes
trial.
Decision May Settle Problem.
Freude is a close friend of Peron
and his son Rudolf is the Presi-
dents secretary. He was mentioned
frequently in the United States
State Departments blue book as
Nazi collaboration during the war.
The final decision on these two
top Nazis may settle the entire prob
lem temporarily.
The fact that the United State.
Ambassador to Brazil, William D
Pawley, now is in the United States
is expected to have some bearing
on the situation.

CHICAGO POLICE BLASTED
ON SOUTH SIDE CRIMES

CHICAGO, June 27 (ANP) -
Sweeping charges against Fifth
District police officers were made
in a Chicago Crime commission
based on survey made
last year in the community where
an estimated 100000 Negroes live.
Emphasizing the suggestion that
a Negro police captain head the
Wabash Avenue district, the re
port charged that business men in
the community told of being
shaken down by police officers,
municipal court laxity especially
when the persons involved are Ne
groes, and a high rate of criminal
offenses reported in the commun-
ity last year.
According to the commission
1916 report, the Wabash Avenue
district contributed FL per cent OF
Chicago's murders, 1878 per cent
Of all robberies and 249 per cent
of the rapes. Contributing factors
of the high crime rate are poor
housing, overcrowding in the dis.
trict, filthy alleys and streets, in
adequate school facilities that com
pei double shift classes, inadequate
playground and recreational facili
ties and political protection fol
tavern operations in the commun
ity.
The report cited the difficulties
Of white police officers to maintain
law enforcement in the almost all
Negro vicinity and suggested thai
white and Negro officers ride
squad cars together while alert
Negro officers walk beats. Such
an arrangement, utilized effec
lively in Negro communities by the
army, plus the appointment Of &
Negro police captain to head the
vast district, was recommended as
a step toward better law and order
the crime commission said.
Police Sgt. Robert Harness, Z
graduate of Du Sable high schoo
here, was named Monday by Police
Commissioner Prendergast to heac
a special hand-picked all-Negre
squad to "clean up'' the south side
Prendergast expressed regret that
the crime commission had pub
lished it's report before submitting
a copy to him.
'The report fails to mention the
catering to minors by most if not
all of the taverns in the district

Gaines, president of the Chicago

MEAT HITS new Low TN CRISIS

The severest fresh meat short
age of modern times grew worse
in the Dayton area and
throughout the nation.
The famine is expected to grow
steadily worse, and little relief is in
sight before next fall or early Win
ter. This opinion was expressed last
night by Oscar F. Focke, president
of William Focke's Sons company,
Dayton meat packers.
Meanwhile, the meat scarcity has
forced the Dayton health depart
ment to switch all but one meat in
spector to dairy inspections, DR..
John Burke, chief of the bureau of
sanitation and inspection, said.
Even the one remaining meat in
spector can't find enough of the
commodity to keep him busy, DR..
Burke added. City meat inspectors
work in eight Dayton plants, and
one of the eight packers has been
forced to shut down because of the
shortage.
Other packing plants in the area
are operating only few days a
week. Many Miami Valley packers
have been slowed down because
they have exceeded their slaughter
ing quotas.
National meat distributed sup
plying the Dayton area report their
outlook is equally dark. Packers
generally see little chance of im-s
mediate improvement regardless of
the outcome of current congress
sional debates over the OPA's fu-
ture.
Dayton restaurants are faced
with slim menus for the week end.
Grocers and meat dealers here be-
lieve the supply will hit new low

and hog receipts are off so and Is

COP. Heads in South
Oppose Presidential
Preference Primary
By the Asseeioisd Press,

ATLANTA, Nov 9.-Republican
headers in the Solid South which
gave delegates to Thomas E. Dewey
but electoral votes for President
Roosevelt in 1944-voted almost SOL
idly today against the idea of presi-
Dental preference primaries in 1913.
Republican spokesmen, comment
ing on suggestion OF Wilson Will
liams, Columbus (Ga.) manufacturer
and Republican national commit
teeman, said they thought the old
system of convention was best, and
by standing pat they left implica-
ton that Mr.. Dewey again may
count on "Solid South" support at
the 1948 Republican National Con-
vention.
Mr.. Williams announced Georgia
would conduct a preferential pri-
mary in 1913, and urged the same
procedure throughout the South,
saying it would avoid factional con-
flicts.
Convention Expresses Will of People.
In Nashville, Republican Leader
A. v. Lane said the convention sys-
tenn generally expressed the will of
the people" and in Richmond, Cur
tbs M. Dozier, national committee
man, said Virginia Republicans
never have regarded the primary as
equal to the convention.
Claude o. Vardman, chairman Of
the Alabama Republican Executive
Committee, said while he personally
favored primary it would be finan-
cially impossible in Alabama because
the party polled less than Is per cent
of the last general election vote.
c. c. Spades Of st. Augustine,
chairman of the Florida Republican
Executive Committee, said selection
Of delegates by the State committee
had been satisfactory to most party
members.
Kentucky's national committee
man, Jouett Ross Todd, commented
that primaries were unnecessary in
border States where Republicans
had responsibility in government and
sought to reflect the will of the ma
jority.
Texas Law Bans System.
Texas never has had preferential
primary, said State Charm n
George C. Hopkins, and State law
wouldn't permit it." Louisiana and
Arkansas, likewise, never have had
a preferential primary, and Arkan-
sas National Committeeman Wallace
Townsned said expense alon e"
would make it unfeasible.
South Carolina Chairman J. Bates
Gerald said it was too early" to de-
eide: and in Mississippi, S. D. Red
mond, Negro chairman of the Re-
publican Executive Committee, said
he opposed the idea. There was no
