Reds 0utyote Socialists
In Argentine Rural Areas
By the Assoejo,ed Press

BUENOS AIRES, Mar. 13.-Com-
munists showed surprising strength
in rural areas today as the vote
count continued in Argentina's con-
gresional race.
Supporters of President Peron held
their wide lead, however. They
seemed assured of maintaining their
thirds majority in the Chamber
of Deputies.
The Communists, who hitherto
have trailed the Socialists in both
Buenos Aires and the hinterlands
now lead them in both areas.
Despite their showing, however. it
is considered doubtful that the
Communists will win any seats.
The election was held Sunday and
as yet only % per cent of the vote
has been counted.
The Peron government ordered a
20 per cent increase yesterday in
wages paid to farm workers, raising
their minimum to about 96 pesos
($24) month plus house and board.

Park Officials Insist
Navy Quit Anacostia
RecreationaI Area

The Navy is being pressed by the
National Capital Parks to turn back
As acres Of Anacostia Park to be
used for a coIored recreational
center. The area was loaned to the
Navy as wartime site for re-
ceiving station, music school and
advanced technical schools.
But the Navy has asked the In
terror Department to extend the
agreement five years and has pre-
pared a request for a S6,000,0 600 ap-
preparation with which to replaces
the schools and receiving station
on another site.
National Capital Parks has been
endeavoring for a long time to
accomplish the removal Of tempo
rary war structures on park sites.
In the case of the AnacoStia Park
site, the Navy agreed to vacate one
year after the end of the war. The
Navy contends, however, that it
meant the Official ending of the
war, which has not yet occurred.
According to the Armed Force,
service magazine, the removal Of the
facilities would seriously impede
plans for development of Marine
and Naval Reserve facilities. The
Marine Reserves are now quartered
in what is declared to be con-
demned building and so far have
been refused permission to use the
National Guard Armory.
The Naval Reservists meet in =
small armory inside the gun factory
reservation.
Rear Admiral John w. Roper,
deputy chief of naval personnel, said
if the funds are granted it is pro-
posed to move the music school and
receiving station to the Naval Gun
Factory. The technical schools and
supplies would be moved to other
naval stations.

PM, Inc, was formed and other

offer 'for the sale of all the assets
Of the corporation at a price of
$500, 900 and Is per cent interest in
the common stock of the new cor
poration to which the assets will be
transferred" In 1912, Mr.. Field
became sole owner.
In June, 1916, the newspaper an
nounced drive for 100000 new
subscribers Ito meet the higher
postwar expenses" 1t gave its cir
culation at that time as $4,000
daily.
The announcement said Mr.. Field
had invested $4,31S,000 in PM with
out any return, but that the man
agement had decided against SELL
ing advertising because of limited
plant capacity.
At that time the paper said it
had been "in the black" for some
time, but rising costs had led to a
new financial crisis"
In November, 1916, Mr.. Field an
nounced that the paper would be-
gin accepting advertising and that
Mr.. Ingersoll had resigned because
Of that decision.
Mr.. Ingersoll said: "'No adver-
tising in PM is woven into the
fabric of my conception of the paper
and my conviction remains un-
shaken that there should be at
least one mass newspaper in this
country supported solely by its
readers"
Mr.. Field said: Il cannot help
feeling that there is more potential
danger to PMS independence in the
fact that its existence so largely
depends on whether one man de-
sires to support it than could
possibly arise from accepting sup
port from the advertisers of the
community"
Editor and Publisher, trade maga-
zine, gives PMS circulation as 140,-

Sundays.

Field, Citing Losses, Will Close
Pm if Its Sale Falls THROUGH
GuiId Weighs Demond
For Concessions to
California Buyer
BY the Assoeiafsd Press

NEW YORK, Mar. 13.-Marshali
Field III said today he either was
selling his New York newspaper,
PM, or closing it.
He said he no longer would sup
port the publication because of
heavy deficits 1t has incurred since
he helped establish it eight years
ago.
The paper has been sold to Clin-
ton D. McKinnon of San Diego,
Calf, contingent on Mr.. McKin-
non reaching an agreement with the
American Newspaper Guild, CIO,
which represents editorial employees
of the paper, the publisher said.
If no agreement is reached, Mr..
Held added, it would cease pub
lication March 26. He refused to
disclose the sale price. Mr.. Field
also publishes the Chicago Sun
Times.
The transaction first was disclosed
last night by Thomas j. Murphy
executive vice president of the New
York City Chapter of the guild.
"The Guilds answer will be ar
rived at with utmost caution" the
Guild official said.
PMS ITO employees represented by
the ANG were notified yesterday
that their employment was being
terminated as of March 26. The
notices added:
"The proposed new owner and
publisher of PM has made a pro-
posal for your future employment
to your Guild representatives, who
already have communicated it or
will communicate it to you" The
paper has total of about 400 en-
ployes.
Mr.. Murphy said Mr.. McKinnor
proposed that he resume publication
on March % for a three-month trial
period. One of his conditions was
that during the period, any employe
could be dismissed without recourse
to grievance machinery.
Mr.. Murphy said Mr.. McKinnon
left the city after the proposal, say
ing he would return Monday to get
the Guilds answer. The PM Guild
unit will meet Monday morning to
consider the proposal.
Mr.. Murphy said employees will
receive severance pay as of March
|26. Negotiations have been under
way to replace the Guild contract
that expired February %. Mr.. Nc
Kinnon would continue most of its
terms.
John P. Lewis has been editor of
PM since reorganization in No
vember, 1916, and Rae o. Weimer
is managing editor.
PM was launched in June, 1910,
with Ralph Ingersou as editor. Mr.:
Field, who inherited a Chicago de-
partment store fortune, was a
founder. It's unprecedented "no-ad-
vertising" policy was explained by
Mr.. Ingersoll at that time:
THE projected paper will treat
advertising as news and carry q
digest of advertised items as q
service to readers. The features
will not be sold to advertising"

capitalized at $1,500,000, raised pri.

newspaper announced that Mr.

left Shanghai on non-scheduled
charter fight at $40 pm. (P. S. T)
Thursday.
Northwest's st. Paul headquarters
reported the passengers were seamen
employed by California and Texas
Oil companies. They had taken
an oil tanker from New York to
Shanghai and were being flown
back to New York.
Al An unofficial report that the plane
had turned northward and landed at
Fairbanks proved unfounded on a
check with the Fairbanks CAA
station.
If the big plane crashed, it will be
the first disaster for a Northwest

augurated its service to the Orient

started chartered flights over the
route in January, 1947, and has been
making regular passenger airliner
flights three times a week, each

Virginia Senate Votes
Amended Version Of
Tuck Anti-Truman Bill.
by q Star siaf Correspondent

RICHMOND, Mar. 13.-The State
Senate late yesterday approved a
watered-down version OF Gov.
Tuck's anti-Truman bill and re-
turned it to the House of Delegates
for concurrence. The vote was
29 to 10.
The measure, which was backed
by the entire Northern Virginia
delegation, permits the names of
national party nominees to appear
on the Virginia ballot without the
circulation of petitions.
When it left the House, the bill
required all candidates, except those
named by Virginia political con-
ventions, to obtain signed indorse-
ments by 1000 persons.
Final House approval today was
conceded. The bill will then 60 to
Gov. Tuck for his signature.
Urging enactment of the meas
ure, Senator Charles r. Fenwick
of Arlington told the Senate that
the Democratic Party in the South
needed weapon to insure it's rec
.ognition.
Says Party Is Door Mat.
"Since the two-thirds rule was
revoked in the National Democratic
Convention" he said, "the South has
been nothing more than door mat
under the feet of the national party
Il feel the bill, as now presented,
reserves every right that the indi-
vidual citizen had and gives him
even greater rights. 1t is the most
liberal election law ever passed in
Virginia"
The Arlington Senator said he
hoped it will be unnecessary to use
the bill which he called "poten-
tial weapon to bring the South to
the forefront in national party
affairs"
Robinette Opposes 1t.
Senator Lloyd M. Robinette, of
Lee County, spoke for an hour
against the bill. He opened his
remarks with the declaration:
Il witness here today the as
sassination of the Democratic Party
of Virginia. I know of no measure
that will help the Republicans
more"
Senator John S. Battle. Char
lottesville. and Senator Harry F.
Byrd, jr, Winchester, were among
those urging passage of the measure.
Senator Byrd praised the "cour-
ageous leadership" Of Gov. Tuck in
adopting this means of fighting the
Presidents civil rights program
which, it was argued, invades States
rights.

Foreign Aid
Continued From First Page. }

members of that committee put out
an advance protest against not be-
ing called into the policy sessions at
which the Republicans decided to
combine China, Greece and Turkey
with the European recovery bill.
Since the Republicans control Con-
gress, however, their decision is ex-
pected to stand.
While the House committee is
working on its lone package" foreign
aid bill, the Senate Foreign Rela-
tions Committee will begin work
Monday on separate measures to
meet the needs of China, Greece
and Turkey. This will give the Sen
ate a chance to debate those phases
of the world situation before the
House passes it's one bill.
In the end, the Senate is ex-
pected to accept the House procedure
and let a joint conference commit
tee settle in one bill the several
separate foreign aid budgets.
Morse Assails Taylor Speech.
The Senate's night session was
enlivened by Senator Morse, Re-
publican, of Oregon, who declared
that the speech of Senator Taylor
Democrat, of Idaho earlier in the
week had "set out clearly the posi-
tion of Soviet Russia on the Mar
shall Plan"
Senator Morse said 1t was his
belief that Senator Taylor, who
has agreed to run for Vice Pres
ident on the Wallace third-party
ticket, is not a Communist.
The Idaho ex-cowboy and enter.
tainer interrupted to thank the
Oregon Senator.
Senator Morse added, however
that the Taylor speech had followed
the Communist Party line from
beginning to end, and could moi
have done a better job of it hac
it been written "in the Kremlin.'
Senator Taylor replied that hi
merely tried to show that the Rus.
slams had reason to fear the United
States.
There were less serious moment!
in the debate, as, for instance
when Senate Minority Leader Bark.
ley pointed out that at times since
the end of the war, a person coulc
take a carton. of cigarettes inte
Germany land almost buy house
and lot with it."
Senator Ball had inquired why
300 900 metric tons Of tobacco art
included in the European Recover!
Program. Senator Barley, from
a tobacco-growing State, argued i
has been found a morale stimu.
liant" for workers in the war-torr
countries.
It is doubtful whether the oppo'
nents of the recovery bill will mus
ter as many votes on remaining
amendments as they did in las
nights vote on the Taft reduction
proposal.

1T HAPPENED IN
CALIFORNIA

This was not Georgia or South
Carolina. 1t was Vallejo, Calf, but
for Ernest Hall, 27 year old Mare
Island Navy Yard worker, the diff
ference was somewhat difficult to
distinguish.
Hall, a Negro, was in Jail charged
with "rape" on the flimsy, uncor-
roborated testimony of a IA year
old girl. He had escaped death by
the narrowest of margins at the
hands of a lynch-minded produce
vender who attacked Hall from be-
hind without bothering to ask any
questions.
Hall, who declares the girl cook
ed the rape story up out Of" spite
when he followed the instructions
of his part-time employer and or
dered her from premises where he
was hauling garbage, has the sup
port of the employer, Robert Couch
and of Mrs. George Hinger, wit
ness to the attack upon Hall and
events preceding it. Both say he
couldn't possibly have attacked the
girl.

Pastor Expresses
Gratitude "For Ball
Game" Success
By Rev. L. B. Nelson.

wish to take this method to ex-
press my personal appreciation to
our many friends who helped our
basketball team to go over the top
last Sunday with the "Ball Game
of Life" The boys were able to buy
their suits, balls, etc., and a few
other articles which they needed
before their first official game. The
total amount raised through the
service was something over $4,000.
1 am sure you will be hearing from
these young men from time ito time.
You will want to know how they
are getting along down at the Y.
M. c.. A. BY the fact that these
young men have been admitted in
to the basketball tournament is ev-
licences that the wall of segregation
is crumbling. One of the officers of
the "Y" stated that for "A years,
this is the first time a Negro team
has ever been accepted. Every
where Negro finds an opportuni-
ty to walk into an open door, he
must walk in, and prove to the
world he is worth while when he
gets in. Our conduct on the inside
will make it either hard or easy for
the next one of our race who gets
in. "Be careful, and make good
boys"
