U. s. SENATOR IN
 ARGENTINA

Senator Dennis Chavez of New Mexico probably doesn't realize it, but indirectly he helped Gen. Harry Vaughan's friend, dictator Peron, get rid of his high-handed econom- ic dictator Miguel Miranda, auth or of various decrees against Amer ican trade.
 What happened was that when Senator Chavez was in Argentina, a luncheon in his honor was ar ranged by U S. Ambassador James Bruce, together with H. A. Metzger, of Standard Oil of New Jersey, and A. s. Willard of the Case Tractor Company. Miranda was the chief Argentine guest, and proceeded to spout off in blunt and amazing lan- guage against his friend, dictator Peron
 For more than an hour Miranda talked And after the lunch was over, astute Ambassador Bruce took pains to see that the conversation was repeated to one of Perons most intimate friends. Within a few hours Peron had heard it himself
 Though Peron was boiling mad, he still didn't quite have the courage to fire his economic czar. Simultaneously, however, Miranda made another faux pas.

DEAN ACHESON'S IRE

Secretary of State Dean Acheson is placid, soft-spoken gentleman Seldom does he raise his voice But beneath his red moustache, turks plenty of temper when provoked, and last week he let it loose on Minnesota's Walter Judd in a clos ed-door session on China policy.
 The fireworks started when Ache son declared that U s. policy of keeping China free and indepen- dent" hadn't changed since John Hay instituted the open Door policy in the Mckinley admins tration.
 Then why have you cut off aid to China?' sharply demanded Judd, former China missionary. "As a matter of fact, our Chinese policy is not the same. It changed when President Truman sent your pre- decessor George Marshall over there after the war to establish what the administration called peace and unity
 That meant coalition with the Communists and history shows that when Communists move in, inde- pendence goes out the window" continued Judd They demon- strated that by increasing their holdings in China five times by the end of 1946, while We were withholding arms and supplies from Chiang Kai-shek."
 Acheson, still cool, retorted that much of the aid Judd spoke of wasn't used to fight Communism but went into the pockets Of Chiang Kai-shek's lieutenants. It was preposterous to ask the Ameri- can taxpayers to continue subsidiz- ing corruption among the Nation- alist leaders, he said
 Corruption in China" fired back Judd, lis petty pilfering compared to what we did at Yalta, where we handed over control of Man churia to the Russians after China had fought off Japs for IA years"
 This time Acheson really let the

formed one of the wool men that he could give no receipt because the cash went to Evita-famous, blonde movie-actress wife of the dictator.
 One of the wool men promptly took this back to Sonora Peron and she in turn hit the ceiling. Not only did Evita demand that Miranda be fired, but she told Per- on that she would go off to Biar- ritz if Miranda remained in office another day. She could not, she said, have such reflections made against her personal integrity. Even then, however, Peron delay ed firing Miranda. Then, next day when he went home for lunch the gorgeous Evita was missing. Tem- porarily, she walked out.
 After lunch therefore Peron call ed in his Army leaders, suggested that they officially ask him to fire Milanda. With this excuse to back him up, consequently not fierce dictator where strong-man Miranda was finally called in his economic czar and told him that the Army demanded his scalp.
 He did not of course tell him that it was really Evita and a luncheon conversation in honor of Senator Chavez that had caused his downfall
 Note-With Miranda out of the picture Argentine economic rela- ton swith the United States are expected to improve.

Military Government in Germany if a preliminary investigation by the old Ferguson Committee seem- ed to warrant it.
 Draper's Wall Street firm, Dillon, Read and Co, in which Secretary resrnsial wns also a partner, had extremely close ties with Germany before the war and poured millions .nto the German cartels which lat sr munitioned Hitler's army. Since the war both Draper and Forrestal have been under fire for permit ing German csrtels to be built up again in such a way that history might repeat.
 Latest revelation about Under secretary of the Army Draper IS that in 1940 when he was in a colonel's uniform in Washington, his business partner in Berlin was Alexander Kreuter, an officer III Hitlers Elite Guard. At that time after the European war had act ually started, and when the United States was rushing to train new army Colonel Draper and Kreuter put across large real-estate deal in Berlin, in which Draper had a IA per cent interest. After the war, Draper brought SS officer Kreuter into the American Military Government.
 Note-Though frowning on Drap- CT. MT Truman appears to condone the same viewpoint in Draper's partner, Secretary Forrestal.

Brazi|'s Export Crop
|0fCoffee 10 Be 14Pct
Below 1948 Figure
BY the Assoeiotsd Press

RIO DE JANEIRO. Aug. 27.-
An official reported yesterday
that Brazil's exportable coffee
crop this year would be about
IA per cent under that Of 194s.
Raul Machado, chief statistician
of the National Coffee Bureau
said the 1949 crop, while running
ahead of l948 to date, had been
estimated at 14,500. 900 bags Of 1872
pounds each, compared with 16.-
s73, 900 bags last year.
One factor in the drop. Mr.
Machado said, is that in the nor
NAL coffee growing cycle a big
crop, such as that of 1948. is fol-
lowed by a smaller one. Another
is that lack of rains this year Is
resulting in less weight in the
coffee berries.
Mr.. Machado denied comment
voiced in New York that Brazil
was holding back coffee from the
export market in the hope OF
realizing higher prices from later
sales in Europe.
(Retail coffee prices in the
United States rose ! to 2 cents
pound In June. One major
roaster this week advanced the
wholesale prices Of its various
brands to u cents, and other
firms were expected to an
nounce similar advances next
week.
Exports in the first six months
Of 1949 exceeded those Of the like
period last year by more than
$4,000 pounds. Mr.. Machado
pointed out. This should make
it obvious, he said, that Brazil Is
not retarding her exports.
Selling conditions In the local
markets have been slow in the
last three days and prices have
dropped SO cents a bag.
The bureau reported that Brazil
exported more than 114,000 tons
Of coffee in July. This was the
highest monthly figure Of 1949.

PARIS. April 30.-Two Ameri-

for an intellectual crusade to pre-
serve Western democratic liberties.
Sidney Hook. chairman Of the

The meeting was sponsored by

by Playwright Jean-Pahl Sartre,
which is staging a public mass
meeting tonight in the Palais des

proclaim its opposition to war and
dictatorship.
Recalling Hitler's mad nation

impose an theological straight

LONDON, April 30.-The Mos
cow radio broadcast an accusation
today-a few hours after the
latest New York talks on the
Berlin problem-that warmongers
in the United States and Britain
had mad plans for world domina-
tion," but cannot succeed.
The broadcast quoted a May day
editorial in Pravda. ofhcial organ
of the Communist Party, in Mos

Terrified by approaching crisis,
thirsting for an even greater in
crease In their fabulous profits,
monopoiists, the uncrowned kings
of Wall Street and the City Of
London, decided that following
victory over Germany and Japan
the deck was clear for their mad
plans for world domination.
But the warmongers miscal-
culated. They have not succeeded,
and will not succeed, in mislead-
ing the peoples. The movement
for peace is acquiring ever greater
scope. In various countries. peace

Russia and u. S. Movinq
Slowly Toward Accord

NEW YORK, April 80 [P).-Rus-
sia and the Western powers ap-
peared today to be advancing
slowly toward an agreement on
lifting the Berlin blockade.
This was the view expressed
cautiously in some Western circles
as the result of a satisfactory
meeting late yesterday between
United States Ambassador Philip
c. Jessup and Soviet Deputy For
eign Minister Jacob A. Malik.
Western delegates said 1t is not
yet time to become too optimistic
about a settlement of the To-
month stalemate. But after hear
ing DR.. Jessup's report on his two
and-one-half hour talk with Mr..
Malik they obviously were en-
couraged.
Also, one Western source said
the West found no "jokers" in the
deal suggested by Russia.
Summary of Situation.
The situation now is roughly
this:
/. Tass, Soviet news agency, re-
ported that Mr.. Malik had in
formed DR.. Jessup that Russia
would raise the blockade of Berlin
If France. Britain and the United
States would lift their counter
blockade, and If they would agree
