Plan Tour of
Latin America
By Fronces Lide

The success Of two goodwill
trips to Europe in the past two
years has inspired officials Of the
General Federation of Women's
Clubs to make plans for a third
world cooperation tour" early In
January.
This time the destination will
be South America.
AS on previous tours, the dele
CATION will be headed by the Gen.
eral Federation president, Mrs.
Hiram Cole Houghton. The major
purpose will be to strengthen the
ties between the clubwomen of this
country and the clubs in Latin
America affiliated with the fedora
tion. But special effort also will
be made to provide the visiting
clubwomen with an opportunity to
meet outstanding Latin American
women, whether or not they are
club leaders.
Arrangements for the tour are
under the general direction Of a
Washington woman-Mrs. Leslie
B. Wright-who is fast qualifying
as globe trotter and tour direc-
tor par excellence. Mrs. Wright
served as liaison officer for the
European trips and, in a similar
capacity this time, is working out
details for the South American
itinerary in cooperation with the
Pan American Union and the De-
partment of State.
A national chairman, Mrs.
Wright heads the federation's de-
partment of legislation.
Signed up for the forthcoming
trip are two other Capital MEM
bers-Mrs. Gertrude Parks, who
was in both European delegations,
and Mrs. Hollis L. lines, who made
the goodwill tour last summer.
Countries on the itinerary are
Panama. Colombia. Peru, Chile,
Argentina, Uruguay, Brazil andI
Venezuela. The club leaders also
will visit Aruba in the Dutch West
Indies, where there is a flourish
ing woman's club affiliated with
the federation.
About 80 club leaders will be
included in the delegation which
will leave Miami by plane the eve
ming of January 4. They expect
to return on January 90. Before
their departure. the travellers will
be entertained by the Miami
Woman's Club.
Mrs. Houghton. now spending
the holidays at her home in Red
Oak, Iowa, is due back at fedora
ton headquarters here on Friday.
Except for emergency business.
the federation Offices will be
closed this week in observance of
Christmas. The editor of the
magazine. Mrs. Mildred Wells,
expects to spend the holidays with
her two sons in Chattanooga,
while the new executive secretary,
Mrs. Stephen j. Nicholas. and
her husband plan to be in Boston
with their son.
Before leaving for South Amer
lea, Mrs. Houghton will have a
chance to confer with Mrs. Fred
eric Beggs, international relations
chairman, who will return to
Washington the latter part of /
the week after attending sessions
of the United Nations General .

USE OF ATOMIC WEAPONS

From time to time, ever since 1945, the use Of the atomic bomb with it's large scale destruction of life and property has been attacked by self-apponted custodians of the human conscience. The weapon has been varously described monstrous, inhuman and diabolical But these the attributes of all weapons, they not?
 War is an evil state It is a disheartening note that after nearly two thousand years of Christian civilization men still hate and kill It is discouragng that this enlightened day nations elect to employ force as an instrument of national policy
 Nevertheless, in the development of modern war fare, it is apparent that the industrial framework Of a nation represents prime target and that impair ment or destruction of the of production is legitimate military objective.
 Although the atomic bomb may kill and destroy on wholesale basis rather than the retail level, we are unable to discern any moral or ethical diff ference between it and less efficient weapons.
 Whether a city and it's people be destroyed by a single atomic bomb or by thousand conventional bombs delivered in a hundred raids, makes little difference as we see it.
 It is to be hoped = and earnestly so = that we

Presbyterian 1852 Synod May Meei ill Alaska

SEATTLE, Oct. 19-R-Presby- terian churches of Washington state are being boiled cl. C proposal to hold the 1852 zyt.od meeting in Alaska.
 Church officials said yesterday ministers and governing bodies of the TIP churches and directors of Presbyterian organizations are be- ing polled by letter seeking approval for the general council to change the meeting place from Spokane. The plan was developed by a special committee appointed at last years synod to study ways and means of meeting in Alaska.
 Church leaders said the 1852 synod was set officially for Spokane but the committee is urging that it be changed to Alaska ''in view Of possible changing conditions and rising costs preventing such a trip in 1853 or later"
 Under the plan, the synod would make the trip by chartered vessel. It would be a seven-day cruise with Alaskan delegates boarding the ves- sel at one of the ports.
 Sessions would be held on board enroute, and stops would be made at various ports.

 Information in Senate committee files indicates that when the Con- merce Department ruled against turning the American President Line back to Dollar, Hanlon was hired to represent him in Washing ton.
 Hanlon, former law partner of Boyle, was listed as an assistant to him in the Democratic campaign of l948.
