Argentina's thin-Skinned dictator Juan Peron is in a huff at Bra gil
 The grand-standing ex-Colonel is 60 furious that Brazilian news papers should have dared to criti- cize him that he has angrily can ce,led plans to visit beauteous Rio De Janeiro
 The Brazilian Government invit- cd Peron and President Berres of Uruguay to be guests of honor at it's gay Independence Week" Both accepted. But, now, Peron has reneged. He is very wroth at what the free Brazilian press has been saying about him.
 The dictatorial Argentinian isn't used to a free press. He has yir- tually suppressed it in his own country. He is peeved, apparently because President Dutra hasn't done the same in Brazil.
 As result. Uruguays President Berres will have the spotlight all to himself in glsmorous Rio

SURPRISE

Eigh-ranking officers are in for a surprise when the report of the Advisory Commission on Service Pay is published
 The commission will recommend increases for enlisted men and jun for officers, but none for the top grades In fact, they may actual ly may face a pay cut in the recommended elimination of tax deductions and certain allowances.
 The commission was set up by Defense Secretary Forrestal to make comprehensive study of pay schedules. The body consists of Charles R. Hook, former head of the American Rolling Mills Company, Rev. John J. Cavanaugh President of the University of Notre Dame, Keith s. McHugh Vice President, American Telephone and Telegraph Company, and Law renee E. Whiting, head of the American Furniture Mart Building Co.,, Chicago.
 A previous committee of generals and admirals had recommended pay boosts for all ranks, with the top echelons getting the biggest i, increases. Forrestal didn't even bother to send this report to Con- gress. Instead, he appointed the civilian commission to make a new l report.
 ] One of it's recommendations will
 be the elimination of the tempor- ary system of family allowances for {, enlisted men. This amounts to i $l75000.000 a year. Another recom- mendation will be drastic curtail- ment of allowances for flying and overseas duty.

Rays From Sun Spots May Cause
Fits of emper, Scientist Says

suns ultraviolet rays, DR.. Marshall
told a reporter.
He pointed out the last time the
sun spots reached their maximum
frequency was in 1887 when Hitler
began his plan of world conquest.
DR.. Marshall said scientists say
they don't know the why about sun
spots," but the ultraviolet rays en-
anating from them affect every liv-
ing thing on earth.
Some scientists, he explained, con-
tend these very short rays have pro-
duced a more prolific growth of
foliage on trees and produced more
abundant crops this year.
Others says the abundant rainfall
this year has been caused by sun
spots.
Aside from the beneficial proper
ties, the rays also have some annoy
ing characteristics, Or. Marshall
said.
For instance, blackouts in radio
and telegraphic communication has
been traced to sun spots. =
DR.. Marshall said the most dis
turbing effects come at or just be-
yond the peak of the sun spots and
probably will cause radio fadeouts
for the next two or three years.
