Only I'LL tAAC
Southern Hemisphere but also In
the United States.
When in the fall Of 1914 the State
Department decided to blacklist Ar
gentina politically and economically
there was a good deal OF surprise
in Washington as to the reasons
which induced American policy
trainers to crack down on one OF
the largest and most important pow
ers in South America.
An editorial to that effect was
printed in The Star. A Spokesman
for the Secretary of State, errone-
ously assuming that had writer
the editorial, called me in ane
pointed out that such an attitude
could be harmful to the war effort
and the unity of the country behind
the Government.
Explained Off the Record.
After pointing out that I had
nothing to do with the editorial,
confessed that I did not see any
valid reason for our policy. 1t
was then explained, off the record
and copfidentially, that the funda-
mental reason that the admins
tration had acted harshiy toward
Argentina was Intelligence reports

Peron was instrumental in planning
an attack against Brazil, which
was assisting the Allied effort with
all her might. In view of the ira
ditional jealousy between Brazil and
Argentina the argument appeared
plausible.
Throughout the war Argentina
made no hostile gesture toward Bra
I'll. Relations between the two
governments remained politely cor
rect. It was known throughout
Latin America that the Buenos
Aires regime had incurred Wash
ington's displeasure and it would
have been politically ,lnwise for
the Brazilian government to fout
Washington's views.
Later the accusation that Argen-
tina harbored intentions inimical to
her neighbor shifted to q soundel

Although the Latin American re-
publics were responsible, after th'

governments remained simply OF

Caucus To Be Called.
A little later when it becomes OBJ
vious that time-taking controver-
sial issues would retard the sched-
uled adjournment, a Republican
caucus will be summoned to discuss
matters. It will be suggested to the
caucus that action must be post
poned but that it 60 on record with
certain conclusions. Some issues,
such as the merger, would be in
dorsed in principle. Others, like
housing, might be recommended for
further study. Each would get some
notice and kind word.
The authors of this tentative
schedule admit that certain ardent
Senators may upset their calcula-
tions. For example, Senator Reed,
Republican, of Kansas was de-
scribed as waiting to pounce like a
tiger on any calendar opening so
he can press the Bulwinkle bill to
permit railroads to fix rates by
agreement. This is considered very
unsporting of the Kansan as it
would provoke long debate, spirit
ed attack by some New Deal Sena-
tors, and might be vetoed even If
pasfed.
Senator Gurney, Republican, Of
South Dakota is deemed equally
keen about his bill to merge the
armed services. This bill would pass,
1t is felt, II 1t could be brought to a
vote but its enemies have been wag-
ing successful delaying action and
it is not yet ready to be reported.
In the House, lethargy and the
active hostility of tiny minority
are also operating against it.
Bets Being Placed.
Influential Republicans are laying
bets that they will have no trouble
forgetting to recall the Taft bills
for housing, education, and medical
aid. Senator Taft is reported to
have said that he did not want to
put over any program when he
had to have minority support to do
it; he wanted the Republicans to
be satisfied and back it. This stand
In itself dooms his program.
Rent control Is another "must'

to take responsibility for abandon

June 80. Democrats are already
charging that COP strategy is to
wait until the last minute, send to
the White House a weak bill, and
thus put the President on the spot
about signing 1t.

NaWCommunications
Maintained Constant
Antarctic-D. T.. Link
BY the Assoeioisd Press

ABOARD THE MOUNT OLYM-
PUS, Mar. Navy communications
engineered a new achievement in
the polar skies during this Antarctic
expedition, keeping in almost con-
slant radio contact with Washing
ton over the continents and oceans
between the capital and the bottom
Of the world.
The modern radio teletype and
the familiar staccato of the Morse
code have been the voice contact
between Washington and Little
America and have managed to knit
together an exploratory feet whose
ships and planes were sometimes as
much as 5000 to 5000 miles apart.
In the first IL weeks the Mt.
Olympus communications depart
ment handled $4,000 messages, in
cluding official dispatches, 400-word
news stories and private messages
topped by one marriage proposal to
which the girl said maybe"
24-Hour Contact Maintained.
The expedition has been a test
Of communications and the main
achievement has been the mainten-
ance of 24-hour communications
with the Washington radio, with
only a few Interruptions, said 1t.
Comdr. Joseph S. Campbell of Sill
yer Spring, Md, task force COM
munications officer. 1t Is 5000 miles
from Little America to Washington.
Besides distance, communications
also had to combat magnetic and
electrical storms affecting the iono-
sphere.
/ "Other expeditions made frequent
contact with the United States, but
often. went for days without word"
Comdr. Campbell said I'VE handled
communications this time as a fleet
operational problem. The longest
interruption was an ionospheric
blackout lasting one day end part
Of another, just when we arrived
at the Bay of Whales January 15."
Ninety per cent of the messages
to Washington were carried by a
60-word-a-minute radio teletype.
The teletype requires an especially
strong signal and, due to ioncspheric
shifts, it is able to operate an aver
age of only IL to 13 hours daily.
The rest of the time contact was
made for the most part by Morse or
messages sometimes relayed through
Samoa, Honolulu or Balboa.
Newsmen Filed 215,000 Words.
High frequencies were used to
reach Washington, and to keep con-
tact with the long-range flights of
planes from the wing groups or Lit
tie America. During the short hops
contact was kept by voice, using
ultrahigh and medium freuuencies
The press volume was equivalent
to four average sized novels, with
215,0O0 words filed during the heav-
lest month Of January by II news
and radio correspondents. Press dis
patches through the first IL weeks
totaled LIS, but these included
parts Of the same stories. Nearly

Diaper Dandies' Win
Navy Fighting Titles
BY the Associoied Press

ANNAPOLIS, Md, April 14.-The
Naval Academy had rs new boxing
champions today-the cream of its
youngest fighting crop, Coach Spike
Webb's famed diaper dandies."
The children traded punches, ex-
pended few tears, and were re-
warded with medals and ice cream
in the course of the 10Th annual
junior clouting championships which
were held here last night under
the eyes Of proud fathers and ap-
prehensive mothers.
Webb, who tutors the Middies on
weekdays and the sons of Navy
officers on Sunday, featured as his
youngest contestants, Bruce Bethel,
2 years and II months, and Sam
Fletcher, jr., years and months.
With both spending a considerable
time of the one-minute bout on the
mat, Sam, son of a lieutenant COM
mander, won unanimous decision
for the mosquito weight diadem.
Mike Ingersoll, 7, son of Rear
Admiral Stuart H. IngersoI, COM
mandant of midshipmen, won his
73-pound fuss from Bobby Schmidt
Another admiral's son, Dominick
Matte, II, outfought jeff Giles for
the 120-pound heavyweight crown.
But win, lose, or no contest,
they're all terrific" said Webb.
