The w ashington Merry Go Round
By DREW PEARSON

WASHINGTON - The last time Herbert Hoover went to the Ar gentine-as President-elect in 1928 he put his foot in his mouth at almost every step he made, begin ming by kicking the representative of the powerful newspaper La Ma cion off his battleship.
 Today it looks as if the Argen- tines were going to help him re- peat. Already they have devised a neat plan to challenge us to restore rationing during Herbert Hoover's trip,
 h the first place, the Argentines regard Hoover's trip as primarily a "propaganda' move. Argentine Government officials say that not another grain of wheat or another ounce of fats for European famine relief can be squeezed out of their country. Therefore, they argue, the former Presidents tour must be in terpreted as "a gesture, intended to impress South Americans with the hur1lanitarianism of the USA."
 So, President Peron is planning to go the United States one better. He will inform Hoover that Argen- tina is prepared to institute food rationine, and urge that the Unit ed States do likewise. This sug- gestion will be given full publicity, with the idea of bringing Argen- tina out on top no matter what happens.
 If the U. s. Government agrees to return to rationing, Peron will get credit Che figures for having proposed the move. If not, Argen- tina will go ahead anyway and ..show the Yanquis up."
 This scheme has been carefully ued on pn0A rOIrj

HARRY HOPKINS BOOSTS
 FRIEND

Hartman is still chief stockhold- CT of the Union Pacific Railroad, which his father acquired during the heyday of cutthroat railroad competition. In addition, he has important holdings in the Illinois Central and Western Union. But for thirteen years he has given almost no time to his private in terests
 Harry Hopkins was largely re- sponsible for selling Hartman on public service, and he has worked at the job ever since the ill-fated days of the Blue Eagle when he came to Washington as an execu- tive of the NRA. One by one, as other executives of the NRA drop ped out, Hartman found himself replacing Gen. Hugh Johnson as the head of the dying agency.
 Later, when his friend Hopkins became Secretary of Commerce, Hartman served on the Commerce Department Business Advisory Board and when war was declared Hopkins sent him to London as lend-lease administrators job

WASHINGTON, Sept. 26.-When Teddy Roosevelt blasted Edward H. Hartman as a wrecker of American business. little did he dream that forty years later the son of the greatest Wall Street operator in his tory would be appointed Secretary of Commerce-and with the reputa = tiol of a business liberal.
 Nevertheless, the New York tinan- cial friends with whom Hartman was raised, definitely consider him a liberal if not a heretic. It may be that Hartman is trying to atone for the economic sins of his father. Of 1t may be that he has reverted to the evangelistic example set by his grandfather, devout Episcopalian minister. At any rate Averell has conscientiously tried not to let the millions he inherit ed warp his viewpoint and has tried to dedicate his life to public ser vice.
 This does not mean that his ef- forts have always been wise. But it does mean that he has tried.
 Those who have watched his work sometimes have been unkinc enough to conclude that it was fortunate Averell was bc1:, witf silver spoon in his mouth. Other wise he might have had great diff ficulty feeding himself. Though long on good will, he is short or brains.
 However, for one who was borr to polo ponies and Long Island so- ciety, Averell Hartman has come . long way.

AMBASSADOR TO RUSSIA


 Hartman has always been slav- ish in his devotion to the British and at first he appeared tc be slavish in his cooperation with the Russians.
 No one could understand why Hartman was appointed Ambass- ador to Russia, least of all the Russians. Of all Americans who had had business clashes with the Russians, Hartman perhaps took the lead. One of his companies had purchased the manganese deposits of the Caucasus, which the Soviet can celled and a long wrangle ensued with no love lost on either side.
 Hartman also owned 35 percent of the Silesian- American Corpora ton in Poland which controls a large share of the worlds zinc and which has been seized by the Rus sians. Almost everywhere his in terests clashed with the Russians and it seemed foregone conclu- sion that his mission would be a failure
 ' Secret of tne appointment Of course, was Harry Hopkins. And at first it must be said that Harri- man appeared to lean over back ward to get along with the Rus sians. Certainly all his statements both private and public to news papermen and Congressmen, were high in praise of the Russian wal effort. And he did everything he could to rush war goods to Russia
 Eventually, however, relations cooled. This may have been due to the basically different viewpoints of Hartman and the Russians After all, here was the son of one of the greatest free enterprise high binders sitting 6own to do busi- ness with Joe Stalin, the worlds greatest Communist highbinder. Or again, the coolness may have been due to the fact that the war was over and the Russians wanted to take advantage of certain world sit nations.
 ! At any rate Hartman now car be classed as anti-Russian. and his appointment replacing Wallace un- doubtedly will lead to an impress sion in Moscow that a united anti Russian front now faces the Soviet in Washington.

INCREASED WELFARE
 CARE FOR ALASKAN CHILDREN STRESSED

Miss Alice Brandeoury, DlIectc- of Social Service Division, Terri torial Department of Welfare, spoke on Child Welfare Service in Alas ka~ before members of the Cham Der of Commerce today at their regular luncheon meeting in the Baranof Hotel.
 Miss Brandebury said two ot the principal needs and objectiyes oi the Department of Public Welfare in Alaska were: Legislation for care and protection of children and additional professional social work CTS throughout the Territory.
 She said these objectives are the result of demands made by com munities for welfare services and oi the departments knowledge of ac- tive case loads in all programs which at present are four or five times the size of case loads car ried by other public welfare agen cles in the States
 Main difficulties encountered II the care of children in Alaska, tht speaker declared. are those Whlcf concern children who are spastic feeble minded, physically handi capped in certain ways, or delin auent. Such children must be sen outside the Territory to institution in the States. Although the de partment is fortunate in maintain ing excellent relationships with sucl institutions and their nationa supervisors in Washington, D. c Miss Brandebury said it would b much to the credit of Alaska ant far more practical if such childrel could be cared for in their owl locality.
 She gave many examples of high ly necessary work that could b accomplished more effectively if larger staff of social workers wer available to Alaska.
 Previous to. the guest speaker address, pr c. Earl Albrecht, Com missioner of Health, reported on tn possibility of Juneaus participation in the Hill Burton Hospitalizatio Survey and Construction Act. H pointed out that the Territoris Logislature had made provisions fo hospital survey, and Dr. Al breoht suggested that when Ju neau considered increasing it's hos pital facilities, the Chamber suT port such a move.

but we must be firm Stalin knows that the people of the United States do not want another war. Undoubtedly Stalin's intelli- gence agents have reported that fact to him and it has contributed to Russian bluffing and belliger- ancy.
 Russia has made marvellous progress in wiping out illiteracy. AS a result her people are ready and anxious to read the news and crinion put before them by the Soviet Government The aver age Russian is sold on the Rus sian program. However, Soviet au- thorities are facing trouble as their soldiers come back and tell about the high pay of American troops and the comparatively high stand ards of living they saw in Ger many As a result the Russian people are asking embarrassing questions about their own low liv- ing standards Counter argu- ment of the Soviet propaganda machine is that Red Army veterans have been tasting the fleshpots of the Capitalistic West
 Tt is not hard to understand why the Russians are suspicious when we remember all that has happened in their lifetime. Our hope lies in the younger Russians who will one day lead the govern ment If they grow up with con- viction that America and other nations are friendly to them and ! not seeking to plunge knife in their back, Russia can be an inn portant force for peace"
