They saw Eleanor's father, Ord

famous Arctic explorer, Louise Boyd,
who is well known in Washington,
where she spent two years during
the war, and who has fabulous
house in San Raphael. Bill didn't
go out there till August 8. In fact,
Bill was standing in front OF the
Dorchester Hotel in London one
day early this summer when I
stepped out of car to go in. He
was catching a plane to be IN

CLEAN UP SUMNER
HOMES AND WATCH
FOR FIRE HAZARDS

The Forest Service suggests that
people owning summer homes along
the Glacier Highway give thought
to cleaning up their premises before
the foliage comes out on the brush
and while it is still easy TO find the
cans, bottles and other debris. Water
supplies should be checked and
cleaned; toilets should be fly and
rodent PROCEED.
Care should be used in the use of
fire for burning debris. Fire should
never be left unattended. The fire
season opens on June |, after which,
it IS Illegal to burn debris on Ma
tional Forest land without first Sc
curing permit. Such a permit does
not relieve the permittee of respon-
sibility for his fire.
1t is strongly urged that every
summer home and domestic owner
Systematically check his premises
for fire hazards Almost every year
one or more summer homes have
been destroyed by fire. A check list
Of places to look for fire hazards
was distributed to permittees in 1947.

Meanwhile Secretary Marshalls

finishing the conclave in Bogota.
TRYING to undercut Marshall,
Bramuglia proposed two months
adjournment. He was promptly
voted down. When Bramuglia in
formed Buenos Aires of these de-
velopments, Peron's buck-passing
answer was: Use your own judg-
ment."
What finally happened was that
Argentina used two of its four
waiting planes to send 40-odd
members of its top-heavy 56-man
delegation-largest at the confer
ence-back to Buenos Aires. But
Bramuglia and his principal aides
stayed on. Other governments,
following the U. S. lead, evacuated
only wives and children, women
secretaries, and a few on-essential
clerks
In other words, Peron was ready
and anxious to junk the conference
on any pretext. In all Latin
America, only the Communists and
the ragtag pro-Fascist parties sup
ported him. Once more, the glib
gaucho of the River Plate has
shown his true colors.
