deceptive democracy" of other coun-
tries which she did not name.
Franco, who accompanied her to
the balcony, said: Peron had sent
TO Spain the heart of Argentina
and bade the Spanish crowd to
give her your heart in return" and
"entone your hymns of war and
peace" Workers. given a holiday

Taft Hints He Opposes
Arming South America
BY the kssoeiotsd Press

ATLANTIC CITY, N. j., June o.
Senator Taft, Republican, of Ohio
said yesterday he was sympathetic
to arguments opposing American
military aid to South American ma
tions.
Senator Taft, here to address a
conference of presidents of State
medical associations, said in an in
terview he was Impressed" by a
letter from Col. r. B. Craeger, a
close political associate and ma
tional Republican committeeman
from Texas. which said a plan by
President Truman to extend mill
ltary aid to South American nations
would be turning our backs on the
good neighbor policy"
| The letter to Senator Taft. made
public in Washington Saturday
said:
Latin revolutions have
in the past and In the main been
fairly tame affairs, but arm and
equip them and their revolutions
will cease to be opera bouffe comic
opera.
Arm, equip and train armies In
these countries and We are pro-
noting bigger and better wars III
Latin America. We are strengthen
ing the power of existing dictators. /"
Senator Taft said American atti-
tude toward South America was an
incidental feature of our foreign
policy"
He continued z
There never has been bi-par-
tisan policy in South America any
more than there has been a bi-par-
tisan policy in China or any other
part of the Orient"
Senator Taft said Senator VAN
denberg, Republican, of Michigan,
has declared bipartisan policy to
be confined to Europe and the

se;.ne. Editor Of The s'ar

Gigantic 'ticebergs' in the sky
enormous masses of heavy cold air
which drift out of Siberia across the
North Pole and down over the
northern half of this continent-are
one of the most significant factors
lin North American weather.
Discovery of this phenomenon
hitherto only vaguely suspected, is
due largely TO observations OF the
Weather Bureau station set up al
Thule, in northern Greenland, last
year. The system will be expanded
with the establishment of two other
stations by a joint United States
Canadian navy expedition to Files
mere Island this summer.
The general theory in the pasi
has been that enormous masses OF
cold air were built up over the Arc
tic basin to the point where they
spilled over, like water over the rim
of a pail, and came southwark as
anticyclones, or highs. , The mos
common path was along the course
of the Mackenzie River in Northern
Canada and thence east of the
Rockies.
Eventually somewhere in the CEN
ttral United States they would bump
into masses of warm air from the
South and be DETECTED eastward
bringing winter storms in their path
This phenomenon was responsible
for much of the winter weather OF
Washington.
One purpose of setting up the Arc
tic weather observatory was to follow
the building up of these highs.
This would make possible longer
ton and power projects as invest
ments,' Mr.. Truman SAID he hopes
that "on careful reflection and con-
sideration" Congress will provide
money for them.
The House shaved the $295, ,420, ,42C
which Mr.. Truman asked for the
interior Department to $161 ,4l3,513
and pared his $1,188.571,3 ,318 request
for the Agriculture Department to
$847 sol ,976.
Lack of Contractors Stressed.
Both bills are pending in the SEN
ate.
Senator Wherry, Republican. of
Nebraska said it's not merely mat
ter of providing the money.
Instead, it's whether you can get
contractors to take the work and
whether they can get the materials, -
Senator Wherry added. There will
be no freeze on such projects this
year. as there was last year, and the
remaining question Is now much
work actually can be done. Con-
tractors still are up against ma
terial shortage.
Congress gave reclamation prof.
,ects three times as much money In
l947 as in 1941, but the freeze order
and the labor situation prevented
carrying the program out
Senator Reed, Republican, OF
Kansas said that we've got enough
of those projects lined up to keeI
construction workers busy from II
to so years
Chairman Bridges of the Senate
Appropriations Committee said he
doesn't believe the Government
should "go on any wild spree OF
building power dams at the expense
of the taxpayers that can be used
directly or indirectly to compete

Mr.. Truman sent the tax bill on
the rounds of his advisers, seeking
their recommendations, before he
left for Kansas City last Friday. He
will do the same thing with the
labor bill when it gets to him.
NoncOmmittal in Address.
Mr.. Truman has spoken out re-
peatedly against tax cutting now,
but was noncommittal on the sub
ject in his Saturday night speech
to the 35th Division. His only ref
erence to it then was to list prudent
fiscal and tax policies" as one of the
things necessary to insure continued
high production in this country.

mans Saturday night attack on
appropriation slashes of reclama-

Byrd, Democrat, of Virginia that
