Bramug|ia Departure
Laid fol S.-Argentine
Aid misunderstanding
By Ernie Hill

BUENOS AIRES. Aug. 20.-
Argentina Is in the midst Of a
major government reshuf1le and
Is experiencing a wave of anti
Americanism because of q series
of misunderstanding over Mar
shall Plan aid.
This, well-informed government
sources say, and several other
factors are responsible for the
resignation Of Foreign Minister
Juan Atilio Bramuglia and the
chain reaction that followed.
Since the beginning of the re-
covery program. Argentina has
been anxious to sell meat and
grains to countries getting Eco
nomic Cooperation Administra-
ton aid. Argentina's idea was
that it was to be reimbursed in
United States dollars under the
program.
Originally, it proposed shipping
5000, 100000 worth Of produce to
Europe. Top government officials
were given assurances that every
thing possible would be done to
help Argentina earn dollars
through such a transaction.
About year ago, DR.. Bramuglia
visited the United States to push
the proposed sale and purchase.
Evening star., 1949-08-21

He was guided around Washington
by several persons, including VIII
liam Pawley, former Ambassador
to Brazil, who Is now living in
Miami.
At one point, DR.. Bramuglia
was told by q State Department
official that the figure should be
reduced to $1,000 900. Through
an interpreter, he was told this
and accepted it as a commitment
of the American Government to
help Argentina earn that many
dollars.
But under ECA procedure,
countries getting meat and grains
make their own purchases at
recognized world rates. The
United States then pays for such
purchases. Argentina, however.
was charging excessive prices for
its products and some were on
lists not eligible for third-country
purchases. So Argentina has
earned no dollars.
DR.. Bramuglia still considered
he had a 100000, 900 commitment
and told President Peron so. But
nothing materialiZed.
Feud Developed.
Now Argentina is seeing plants
shut down because it has no dol
lars to buy raw products for
manufacturing.
In the meantime. q feud devel-
oped between DR.. Bramuglia and
Jeronino Remorino, Argentine
Ambassador to Washington, al
though DR.. Bramuglia was Mr..
Remorinos original political spon-
sor.
Mrs. Eva Duarte de Peron, wife
of the president, had been feuding
with DR.. Bramuglia for more than

two years and Mr.. Remorino re-
portedly had his eye on DR.. Bra
muglia's Job.
AS industries closed and dollar
funds vanished, DR.. Bramuglia
found it extremely difficult to ex-
plain why the 500, ,000, 900 failed
to materialize. In some quarters,
it was taken as a slap against Ar
gentina that the ECA purchases
were never made.
President Peron repeatedly lost
confidence in his foreign minister
as a result and started finding

fault with other matters in that
department too. And he turned
to Mr.. Remorino more often for
advice.
Decided To Resign.
DR.. Bramuglia, internationally
recognized as . man Of character,
was through. He was catching it
fro mtoo many sides. He decided
to get out Of public Office and re-
turn to the practice Of law.
Just as parting shot he took
q punch at Mr.. Remorino. who

dent Peron about his CDR. Bramug-

That's the song the President has
asked me to play at his last two
birthday parties given by Attorney

nights he'll probably be too busy to
add a presidential finger for key

Mrs. Patterson S Will
Valid, Guardian for

! j. Edward Burroughs, guardian
ad litem for two minors in the
Eleanor Patterson will case, filed
papers in District Court today as
serting he has found no evidence
that the late Times-Herald pub
Usher was mentally incapable OF
making a will or was unduly in
f1uenced.
Mrs. Patterson's daughter, Mrs.
Felicia Gizycka, is contesting her
mothers will on the ground that
Mrs. Patterson was of unsound mind
and the will was obtained through
fraud, deceit and undue influence.
Trial is set for February 2.
Mr.. Burroughs was appointed
guardian ad litem for Darnall, s.
and "Cissie" Smith, IS months
children Of Mrs. Ann Bowie Smith.
Will witnesses Interviewed.
"Cissie," Mrs. Patterson's name
sake, was one of II secret benef1-
ciaries in the will, and her brother
was named to receive S25,000 over
a five-year period If his mother, te
whom Mrs. Patterson bequeatheo
the money, died before she could
inherit it.
In an answer to the petition fol

viewed witnesses to the will and its
codicil as well as persons who knew
Mrs. Patterson.
No Credible Evidence.

a business woman of above average
intelligence and independent judg-
ment," he said. He said he could
not discover any credible evidence
or justification for assertions Mrs.
Patterson suffered mental incapacity
to make a valid will or codicn or
that "any undue influence, duress,
coercion, fraud or deceit" was prac-
ticed on her in connection with the
instrument.
"On the contrary" he said, "it is
the opinion of this guardian ad Item
that the instruments represent the
deliberate thought and considered
Intention Of testator as to the dis
position of her estate"
He pointed out that since the
children are not related to Mrs
Patterson, although she was "Cis-

admitted to probate, they will not
be entitled to receive anything.

Cogswe|| Asks
Added Authority
0verCo-opUni
Plan Would Permit
Purchase at More
Equitable Prices

District Rent Control Admins
traitor Robert F. Cogsweu today
asked the Commissioners to give
him added authority over housing
accommodations that are sold on a
cooperative basis If rent control is
extended for another year.
Reminding the city heads that
the District Emergency Rent Act
expires March 81, Mr.. Cogswen sug-
gested an amendment to proposed
one-year extension that would per-
init tenants in co-operatives to buy
at a more equitable price than at
present.
His amendment also allows no
proceeding by the owners to recover
possession of cooperative housing
accommodations from tenants unless
stock in the cooperative has been
bought by persons who then tenant
IS per cent of the units in the
building. This would be done by
changes to the eviction sections of
the law
The control would be extended
after the sale of the building to
any rental fees which might be
charged by the owners renting it
to other persons.
Many Need Repairs.
Citing the fact that the Broad
moor and several other large apart
nent building that have or are
being changed into co-operatives,
Mr.. Cogswell said one of the worst
features of such conversion is that
most Of the buildings cannot be de-
scribed as modern apartments in
the usual sense Of the word. The
buildings-the Broadmoor excepted
range in age from IS to 40 years
and the great majority are in need
of extensive repairs and improve
ments, Mr.. Cogswell declared
Due to the fact that the hous-
ing situation in this city still re-
veals a critical shortage" the rent
control administrator said, 'the
tenants in apartment buildings are
suddenly faced with the choice of
buying the apartment at any price
placed on it or be evicted."
Since many of the buildings are
old and many of the tenants are
both advanced in age and financial
ly unable to meet the required con-
idtions to remain in the apartment,
it is imperative that an amendment
be made to the present act, Mr..
Cogswell declared.
Similar Federal Act.
He told the Commissioners his
suggested amendment is similar to
the Federal housing and rent act
of 1947. The Commissioners re-
ferred Mr.. CogsweI's proposed
amendment, as well as his earlier re-
quest for extension of rent control
here, to Corporation Counsel Ver-
non E. West.
Mr.. Cogsweu also asked an amend
ment that would authorize his Office
to determine maximum rent CELL
ings and minimum service stand
ards for all housing accommodations
created by conversion" after jan
uary !.
The word conversion" he said,
can be construed to mean almost
anything that the person who is
attempting to define it declares it
to be in relation to the rental Of
housing. Present law decontrols
conversion of accommodations where
such conversion results in "addi-
tional housing accommodations"
