ment to Argentina as Mr.. Braden's
hand-picked trouble shooter and
tough h-handed diplomat for dealing
with President Juan Peron last
spring.
Since that time, virtually all re-
sponsible informants agree, Mr..
Messersmith has departed sharply
from Mr.. Braden's day-to-day
management Of relations with
Argentina. However, both subscribe
in principle to the same basic state
ment Of American-ArgentiIle policy
as laid down by Secretary Byrnes
last April 8.
The critical question thus appears
to be whether Mr.. Messersniith can
persuade Secretary Byrnes to modify
the application of this policy.
Modification might provide easier
business relationships with Argen-
tina and eventually the purchase
by Argentina OF United States arms
something which many Army
ofiicials have been working for as
part Of plan to standardize arms
throughout the hemisphere.

Mason Hits 9O% Burden
On Residents for City Costs

The Capital has no troubles that
cannot be cured by more money
but residents of this city should net
be expected to carry 80 per cent Of
the Districts financial burden,
Commissioner Guy Mason declared
last night in a New Year broadcast
over Station VOL. "
The Commissioner set as his 1947
/ goal increased efforts "in the job
of making Washington in fact the
capital of the greatest nation on
earth and not just another over
crowded, -fronted place to live. .
I'VE must convince the Congress" /"
he said, "that each of the 48 States
of the Union has a vested interest
in the city, and it Is their duty to
make the city the fulf1llment of
their boast that the Capital is, in
fact, capital both politically and
spiritually"
Washington, as the seat of the
National Government, SHOULD rep
resent the best in everything" but
"falls far short" Of this objective, he
declared.
1.-THE States, through their repre-
sentatives, the Congress, should bear
the cost of the complete develop
ment of the founders dream" con-
tinued the Commissioner. "I do
not mean we who are here should
not participate in that burden, but
we should not be asked to carry 80
per cent of that burden"

Despite their winning only sew
enth place in the Class B team
ranking, the Carver High thin
clads showed their heels and kicked
dust to many high school opponents
last Saturday night at Tempe. Of
the four relays the Monarchs en-
tered they ran first in two, the
44O-yd. relay and the 880-yd. med
ley, and second in two, the one
mile medley and the shuttle-hurdle
relay. However on the basis of
time with the other heats, coupled
with an unfortunate Disqualified
ton, the Carver boys failed to walk
off with any of the plaques.
Early in the evening, Casa Gran
de opened the relays with 46.1 sec.
440-yd. relay win. The Monarchs,
running in the second heat, scam
pered the distance in 46.5 and al
legedly a second place in the event
though winning their heat. How
ever, Christopher who ran the first
leg in the absence of Ira Gray,
after passing the baton to Davis
stepped into the path of another
runner. Carver was disqualified.
Both Casa Grande and Carver
broke the relay mark set last year
by st. Mary's for the Arizona Re-
lays in this event. Carver run
ners in the 440-yd. relay were
Christopher, Davis, McCuin and
McNear.
Carver next entered the one-mile
medley. There were also two heats
for Glass B schools in this event.
Chandler won the first heat with
Carver running close second.
However on the basis of time,
Chandler and three schools of the
other heat were recipient of the
four places given, shutting out
Carver's foursome of McNear,
Davis, McCuin and Giles.
Carver's hurdler combination of
Hagler, Davis, Gray and Jones ran
second in the second heat of the

was good enough for fourth place

Professional prohlbitioniStS are
staging a nationwide campaign to
bring back the old saloon in it's
worst form, Repeal Review" pub
lication of R epeal Associates,
warns in its March issue.
The dry's campaign is predicated
upon the increasing conviction
that only by the establishment
of those obnoxious conditions can
the people be whipped into frenzy
of hatred necessary to bring back
prohibition on a national scale.
The heart of the campaign is
the sponsorship by the professional
drys of legislation to prohibit the
sale of alcoholic beverages in rest
aurants or taverns in which food
is sold. Such legislation has been
enacted in North Dakota at the
insistance of the drys; and similar
measures are being advocated by
drys in South Dakota, Iwoy and
Ohio. In previous years proposals
to seprate the sale of alcoholic
beverages and food were made in
Arizona, Arkansas, Indiana, Mas
sachusetts, Michigan, Minnesota,
New Mexico, and South Carolina.
"Just as the prohibitionists trea-
sure the hopeless drunkard be-
cause he can be used as an object
lesson Repeal Review says, $50
they are now seen to value the
saloon so highly that they carry
on campaign to bring it back.
"a minister of North Dakota ex-
planned their movement to divorce
the sale of liquor and food by
saying: Whiskey has been glamor-
lied. It has been given a false air
of respectability by being assoc
lated with the sale of food
"That remark typifieS the at
titude of prohibitionists toward the
places where liquor is sold. They
do not want them to be respect
able places where decent citizens
can go to eat and drink, pleasantly,
decorously, and in moderation; or
eat without drinking if that be
their preference.
"For it is very hard to arouse
enmity toward such places. The
professional drys of North Dakota
found such places where liquor
was sold too respectable, too de-
cent, too orderly. There was very
little to complain about regarding
them.
