be no congress, there would be no freedom of the press. They assert that Braden organized almost half the voters of Argentina against Peron and, had he not been with drawn, might have swung the ma joriyt against Peron.
 ERROR OF INTERVENTION
 Proponents of the new and more moderate U. s. policy say, however, that outside interference is bound to react in favor of the person op- posed; that election returns showed the error of our intervention in do- ,neStic Argentine affairs
 These quarters are inclined to discount popular fears of Peron's associates and portray him as a sort Of Argentine New Dealer, Striv- ing to better the lot of the working masses and opposed by entrenched capital just as Franklin Delano Roosevelt was in the United States
 It is certainly true that Peron has bettered the lot of large numbers of workers He has raised wages and awarded bonuses out of the pockets of employers with a fiber ality never before seen in this con- tinent, Labor unions formerly in- significant, now are powerful-and every union leader Is red hot. dyed in -the-wool Peronista.

MutiIotion StoryHeord ByVeteron
 Former War Pilot
 Told How He Killed
 Woman Near Resort

London, Aug. Handsome Neville Heath, former RAF pilot, heard in police court today how the second of two women he is accused Of killing was slashed and battered after she apparently was dead,
 For the first time the prosecution pictured the death and later mutil- ation of Doreen Marshall, 21, a for mer Wren, near the coastal resort of Bournemouth.
 Heath, 28, appeared again in the West London police court for the completion of his preliminary hear ing on the charges of murdering Miss Marshall and Marjorie Gard ner a movie extra whose naked body was found in London hotel in June. .-a: @..
 Pleads Innocent
 Called upon to enter his plea first in the Gardner case, Heath glanced at scrap of paper in his hand and recited from it, T plead not guilty, reserve defense, and will call no witness here"
 Heath was confronted with black riding whip with which Mrs. Gard ner allegedly was lashed IT times. It came from one of his suitcases.
 Dr. Henry Smith Holden director of the metropolitan police labor atory testified that hair found on scarf from one of Heaths bags cor responded with that on Mrs. Gard ner's head. He also said the whip had stains of blood and minute frag- ments of flesh on it.
 Slayings Were Brutal
 Police Sgt. Frederick Averill told of finding Mrs Gardner's body, bruised and bloody, in the London hotel. Inspector George Gates said that when he told Heath he was held in the killing of Mrs. Gardner, he replied, "Oh, all right"
 Miss Marshall was killed July 8. The prosecution presented that case against Heath as soon as the Gard ner case was completed and the plea of innocent entered Heath sat with eyes doWncaSt, and scribbled notes.
 The prosecution said the evidence showed the Marshall girl had been assaulted violently, her ribs broken, her body dragged naked over the ground in lonesome ravine near Bournemouth where the killing oc- cupied, her throat cut twice, and her abdomen slashed repeatedly.

Buenos Aires. Arg, Aug. G. tNEA1-The head man of Argen- tina, Juan Domingo Peron. is cur rently being given the kid glove treatment by the U. s. State De- partment but that policy is highly controversial in North American circles here
 Some elements point out that Peron, even though he holds the presidency through legal election, IS the same man who was the die tatorial colonel behind the displaced Farrell regime They say that some Of his principal advisers are Span ish FaScistS and German Nazs and that he presents a smiling face to- ward the United States only to WOO us into selling him guns. tanks and warships.
 Other North Americans assert that Perons hostility toward the United States was the result of our own tough" diplomacy. They urge that we bring Argentina into the hemisphere family and do our ut- most to patch up bad fellings. EUROPEANS IN STABLE

this way:
 Tt IS essential that we bring Ar gentina into the hemisphere. We gre still trying to do something that we should have done in the first place."
 This source-it is only fair to Am bassador George Messersmith to say that it was NOT he-then proceeded to draw an analogy He said that he could not blame Peron for re- 5isting our efforts to make him fire his fascist associates
 ANALOGY EXPLAINS
 T like to draw this analogy" " this informant said T say to my friends, suppose you were the pub fisher of newspaper and an ad- Vertiser came to you with a proposal your most valued employees. The ad- that you discharge a half dozen of Vertiser explains that he has pur- chased space in your newspaper for many years and now he objects to the manner in which some of your writers handle news material. He asks you to fire them. You refuse, Of course"
 This glib explanation stung lis teners into an objection that a par allel between newspaper reporters and Peron's German and Spanish associates was hardly accurate. Thus pressed, the diplomat con- eeded that his analogy perhaps ought to be regarded as the kind Q. rationalization which Peron him. self might offer for failure to get rid of his fascist buddies. rather than as bona fide explanation which would be acceptable to the
 This is the sort of thing which U. s.
 hothers opponents of Peron. They assert that today's situation in Ar gentina, far from disqualifying the tough policy of former Ambassador spruille Braden, actually upholds his stern tactics. They contend that had it not been for Braden. there would have been no elections and Argentina still would rest under military dictatorship; there would

$4OO, ,OOO Wanted
$4OO, 900 Wanted Herr Hitler;s Yacht
 Put on Block in Us.
By ROBERT RICHARDS

New York, Aug. 6.-OP)-They'r trying to sell Herr Hitler's yacht for $400,000 to some rich American salt, and it looked today as if at least two were interested.
 The 3,600-ton Grille" now lying off Britain's east coast-is war prize of the British Admiralty.
 We don't own hey, We are only the brokers" explained Felix Pie rot, of Jacques Pierot, Jr., and Sons, but we're considering all offers"
 Pierot said, up to now, there have been two.
 Purposes Undeclared
 One from a wealthy individual" he said, and the other from a con- pany. Neither indicated that they would do with the yacht. if they buy it but I suppose the individual would use it for his personal pleas ure.'
 The company, Pierot said, doubt less planned to attract the tourist trade.
 T expect many people might pay" he said, "to ride on Hitler's boat"
 The Grille" has top speed of 26 knots, and she could take 100 people for a months cruise without any crowding.
 To Cost Plenty to Run
 She will cost very much money to run" Pierot said, but I don't know how much. Under Dutch law, not counting the stewards and kitchen help, she took crew of 40 men. She will need at least that, I think, in American waters"
 The Grille" was turned over to the German navy during the war and used in training work.
 We don't know definitely" Pierot explained, but We believe that her amany cabin may have been left in- tact I'm trying to find that out"
 The Pirots were doing business in Rotterdam, Holland, as ship brok- CTS until last January.
 We liquidated and came over here" Pierot said. Tn Europe there is no more money to buy boats"
 Americans to Get Yacht
 For that reason, he believes Hit ler's yacht is bound to end up in American hands.
 The Grille" is in excellent run ming order and will cross the Allan tic under her own power, if she is sold.
 Broker Pierot still seemed a little dazed that there are people left in the world who can afford to spend S40O 000-even for Hitler's boat.
 But there are at least two" he said.
 His ad wasn't in the papers 10 minutes before they called him.

 Another financial expert in Per 0n'S stable is Heinrich Doerge, a German citizen and former protege of Gerfmanys Hjalmar Sehaeht who was sent by Hitler to the United States in 1889, opening year of the war, and later to Chile.
