Revolutions Reported
Stirring u. 5. Talks
With Latin Regimes
by the Assoeiofed Press

BUENOS AIRES, Dec. 21-The
United States is worried about re-
cent Latin American revolutions
and Is consulting with key govern
ments, diplomatic sources said to-
day.
Talks have been started by the
United States Embassy both here
and in other capitals.
The new policy established last
April at the Bogota conference of
granting almost automatic recogni-
ton to any government whether
established by force or through reg
ular election Is seen as source of
the difficulty.
In essence, the Bogota declara-
ton says American governments do
not necessarily give approval to the
methods used by new governments
in attaining power.
Before Bogota, the United States
frequently refused to recognize i'm
mediately a government that came
to power through revolution.
Immediate Recognition Favored.
Most Latin American Foreign
Ministries usually believed it wiser
to grant immediate recognition,
Proponents Of the Bogota doctrine
held that the United States lost
contact with neighboring nations
by a policy Of aloofness.
Informed sources said the State
Department has not changed its
mind about the wisdom of granting
quick recognition to revolutionary
governments. However, the fall of
the governments of Peru and Vene-
zuela to military juntas, reports of
anti-government plots in Chile and
Argentina, and disturbances in Gen.
tral America are causing concern.
The State Department is reported
trying to find some new method of
expressing its disapproval, or at least
exerting moral pressure against revo-
lutionary relationships in the hem
isphere.
Arrival here today Of the first
United States Army ground force
training mission ever sent to Argen-
tina is looked on as a step to tighten
Western Hemisphere security.
The mission arrived aboard the
liner Uruguay.
Welcomed by Argentinians.
Ofdcers of the Argentine Army
welcomed Col. j. B. Medaris, 1t. Col.
Louis Hightower and Maj. Richard
Grondona. Two more officers and
six noncommissioned officers are
due to arrive at a later date.
The officers were contracted by
the Peron government as instruc-
tors for the Argentine Army under
a recent agreement signed by the
two governments in Washington.
The arrival of the United States
advisers is further sign of the
postwar rapprochement of the
armed forces of the two countries.
Already here are a three member
North American naval advisory
board and two-man aviation mis-
sion.
The only other foreign power with
instructors here is Great Britain.
which has number of jet pilot
experts assigned to the Air Force.

Patricia Styles Death
Is Ruled Suicide
BY the Assoeioisd Press

LOS ANGELES, Dec. 21.-Pretty
Patricia Styles killed herself, a
coroners jury has ruled, upsetting
her fathers hope that there would
be some death finding other than
suicide.
The nine-man jury said after yes
terdays inquest that I'VE believe the
death of Patricia Styles to have re-
suited from a gunshot wound by
.32-caliber revolver held in her own
hands with suicidal intent"
Miss Styles, Is, blond actress
daughter of Radio Producer Hal
Styles, died in furry of shooting
December 13 on a North Hollywood
street. Even as she fell fatally
wounded, she shot her former suitor,
Nate Sugarman, A, investment bro
ker, twice. He is recovering from
leg and head wounds.
Mr.. Styles testified that Mr..
Sugarman, friend of Miss Styles
for four years, but who recently
became engaged to another woman,
twice in 1e47 threatened his daugh-
ter's life.
However, the distraught father,
who had told reporters he didn't
believe his daughter killed herself,
failed to produce witnesses or evi-
dence indicating her death wasn't
a suicide.
Miss Marion Hughes, school bus
driver, testified she saw Miss Styles
and Mr.. Sugarman struggle in his
car and saw Miss Styles point the
gun "as If In her mouth" as one
shot was fired.
DR.. Frederick Newbarr, autopsy
surgeon, said Miss Styles was killed
by shot fired into her mouth.

egress regulations governing housing

sponsored by the Columbia I'm.
provement Association in the Fourth
Presbyterian Church.

ing the license and egress regula-
tions governing housing facilities

essary, unconstitutional and invalid,
are q burden and nuisance to home

missioners and to the District
committees in the new Congress.
Mrs. Margaret H. Worrell, president
of the association, said.
Discussion revealed objections to
the new rules, which 60 into effect

for rooming houses, the classifica-
tions of tenements and restrictions
on transoms and latticed screen
doors leading into apartment house
corridors.
Mrs. Worrell said the latticed

by enabling them to scrutinize vs-
itors without opening their doors

Coast Guard Still Huntinq
Ship After Mysterious SOS
BY the Assoeiefed Press

MIAMI, Fla, Dec. 21.-The Coast
Guard cutter Mocoma and a sea-
plane continued to search waters off
Cape San Antonio, Cuba, today after
a mysterious distress call reported
vessel sinking in the area.
The Coast Guard said it was in
vestigating the circumstances of the
call for help and was continuing
the search because I'VE want to de-
termine definitely if human life is
in peril"
The original distress call iden-
tilted the vessel as the Honduran
freighter San Luis and said the crew
was taking to lifeboats. A check
later revealed the San Luis had
been sold to Nicaraguan interests
and her name changed. She was To-
Gated at Gibbs Shipyard, Jackson
Vile.
The Coast Guard refused to label
the sos a hoax.

Ives Opposes Change!
Urged by 6. 0. P. in
1aft-Hart|ey Law

Senator Ives, Republican, of New
York, was on record today as op-
posed to the changes his fellow Re-
publicans are recommending in the
Taft-Hartley Act, declaring that a
report suggesting the amendments
is an obviously partisan" document
At the same time, Senator Ives,
a leading figure on the Senate
Labor Committee, told q news con-
ference he is opposed to repeal OF
the Taft-Hartley Act and its re-
placement by the Old Wagner Act
without any change.
The changes to which the Senator
referred are being recommended by
the Senate-House watchdog" COM
mittee. The chairman, Senator
Ball, Republican, Of Minnesota, told
reporters that about nine changes
in the law were being suggested, and
ne described six of them as fairly
important" Senator Ball was de-
feated for reelection.
Calls Report Partisan.
Among the seven Republicans vot-
ing for the plan were Senator Taft
of Ohio and Representative Hartley
OF New Jersey, co-authors of the
act. But Senator Ives split sharply
with the other committee members.
He told q news conference yester-
day:
I am not going along with the
report, partly because it is obvious
ly partisan report and partly be-
cause 1 don't agree with some of
the things in it.
I feel very definitely that indus
trial and labor relations should not
be involved in partisan controversy. -
The New Yorker said, however,
that he favors one committee pro-
posal-that the Taft-Hartley pro-
vision requiring top labor oficials
to take non-Communist oaths be
broadened to include MANAGEMENT
representatives.
Senator Ives originally opposed
the non Communist provision. But
ne said he backs it now because ut
has helped labor organizations to
clean up Communist control"
Other Changes to Be Urged.
AS for the other side Of the in
dustrlal fence, he said:
Some management, If not under
Communist control, at least is doing
or trying to do lot of business with
Russia. Not every management is
above suspicion"
In addition to the non-Commu-
mist section, it was learned that the
Senate-House committee also voted
to recommend these changes:
l. Elimination of a provision re-
quiring an election to authorize a
union shop. Under q union shop,
a worker must join a union within
80 days after he is hired. The COM
report says the union shop
has been authorized in 90 per cent
of elections held.
2. Exclusion from the NLRB's
jurisdiction of local businesses
whose operations only remotely af-
feet interstate commerce"
3. Clarification Of the right of the
NLRB to require unions, in the
case Of mass and coercive picketing,
to reimburse workers who have been
denied access to their jobs.

One Roundabout Route
Open 10 bethlehm
BY the Asseciassd Press

JERUSALEM, Dec, 2l.-A round.
about route has been arranged to
enable Christians to make the
traditional Christmas Eve Pilgrim
age from Jerusalem to Bethlehem,
the birthplace Of Christ.
A United Nations communique
last night said Jews and Arabs seek
ing q means Of permitting the
pilgrimage had agreed to open op-
posing lines between Old and New
Jerusalem for "a hours.
BY this means, Christians in the
New City could cross into the Old
City and proceed to Bethlehem
along an Arab Legion military road
for 10 miles via Bethany.
The traditional shorter route
direct south to Bethlehem will not
be open, apparently due to objec-
tions by the Egyptian Army. U. N.
officials are pressing for use Of this
route, however, and hope to get .
reply today.
Almost every foot of the original
route Is under the guns of Arabs
and Jewish artillery placed on sur
rounding hills. The opposing armies,
quiet in an uneasy truce, are easily
visible from the Church of the
Nativity. Visitors to Bethlehem will
be searched for security reasons.
The number of pilgrims, sometimes
as high as 10000 will be much
smaller this year.

Jazz may not be good music, but
1t hasn't been all bad either, accord
ing to one man who should know.
Artur Schnabel, the pianist, thinks
1t has done q lot to accustom us to
unusual sounds, he told reporters
yesterday. And that makes 1t good,
evidently-at least for composers Of
new music who have . hard time
getting heard.
Mr.. Schnabel. here for a concert
next Thursday in Constitution Hall,
has written q good deal Of music
himself-although not jazz. His
music is "atonal," he explained.
Some people think that is wrong,
because they expect him. he said, to
write like Beethoven. That's prob
ably because he Is famed as a per-
former of Beethoyen's piano music.
"But I am not quite up to writing
like Beethoven, so I just try to be
original" he said. The pianist
doesn't believe, however, that that's
the reason his symphony was .re-
hearsed as times before its first per-
formance recently.
