 Once again, running the Pan- American affairs If the state Department has proved too much for an earnest and able man. Assistant Secretary spruille Braden has finally decided to stop putting his head against stone walls and will resign before July lO. He had decided that if the U. S. Army is going to dictate U. s. policy in Latin America, he has other things to do elsewhere.
 This represents a cear-cut victory for William D. Pawley the Florida millionaire, recently named U S. Ambassador to Brazil He has been sntptng re- entlessly at Braden for months and Is now slated to succeed him.
 It also represents a victory for the appeaser group which advocated making deal with Dictator Peron of Argentina, matter what the terms.

Believe 1t or not, but the State Department had advised Embassy en- ployes to convert their American money at black market rates rather than at the official rate, thus violating the law and thus giving Marshal Tito an- other opportunity to embarrass the U.S.A. Soviet Comnlissar VyshnSky has refused to drop charges against the clerk in the American Embassy in Moscow whom he charges with "hooligan acts" Vyshnsky told Ambassador Beetle" Smith that Russia does not claim diplomatic immunity for it's lowest clerks and does not expect the American En- baSsy to claim 1t either Smith has recommended that the US.A. refuse to yield. Thoughtful British and American observers are worried about the strong rebirth of British FascSm. Although comparatively quiet during the war; the followers of hate-peddler oswald Mosley are becoming more active now. TheiS rebirth is compared to the Klans rejuvenation in this country.
