PerOn Offers To
Resign Presidency
OF Argentina

BUENOS AIRES, Up - Presi-
dent Juan D. Peron offered to
resign today. The response was
mass demonstrations Of strength
by his followers who insisted that
he continue in office.
The president addressed his
offer to the Central Confederation
Of Labor and the leadership Of his
own Peronista party. Both clearly
had been primed to receive and
reject it,
The long message said:
"The time for fighting h a 5
passed. The time has come to
work and consolidate our revolu-
tionary gains. I offer my retire
ment to insure pacification. I do
not want to be an obstacle it
is not possible to destroy what we
have built"
"They speak Of civil war;" it
continued. II do not believe it
will happen here. There will be
peace or dictatorship. I have no
taste for dictatorship. If that is
the solution, someone else will
have to do it,"

Five Congressional Committees
Plan On-the-Spot Inquiries Into
Alaska Problems Starting Sept. Is
BY FRANK w. vAILLE

w 1OIN, H1 congress
begins its annual invasion of AL
aska next month
Beginning in mid September
and running through the end Of
the year, four House and Senate
subcommittee plan on-the-spot
inquiries into Alaskan problems
on which they must legislate.
Plans of three Senate subcom-
mittees still are tentative in some
respects. This much is definite:
Hearings on juvenile delinquen-
cy will be held in Juneau and
probably Anchorage and Fair
banks Sept. 1922 under the di-
rection Of Sen. LANCER CR-ND).
Sen. Magnuson D-Wash will
take members Of his Interstate
and Foreign Commerce Commit
tee to Juneau and Anchorage in
mid October to look into prob
lens of air and water transporta-
ton, airport development, small
boat basins and probably fish
cries. Republican Sens. Potter of
Michigan and Bricker Of Ohio
plan to accompany him.
Late in November or early De-
cember, the Mining subcommittee
Of the Senate Insular Affairs
Committee will go to Juneau and
Nome for hearings on legislation
to provide an incentive program
to spur tin exploration and devel-
opment.
The House Territories Commit
tee hearings, under Rep. O'Brien
D-NY), will open in Fairbanks
Sept. Is and close in Ketchikan
Oct. 3. In between the group
plans to visit or take testimony
in PIT. Barrow, Kotzebue, Nome.
Anchorage, Palmer, ward,
Homer, Cordova, Dillingham;,
Kodiak, Juneau, Sitka, Wrangell,
Petersburg, Craig, Hydaburg and
Klawock.
Members describe the trip as
the first comprehensive on-the-
spot series of hearings in Alaska
since the late 1905. Matters to
be studied include such varied
subjects as the various self rule
proposals, industrial possibilities,
resources, transportation, Indians,
mental health and public land
problems.
George Abbot, committee coun-
sci, puts it this way:
1--WE hope to be able to take
the record of this hearing and
stamp it This is Alaska"
At least seven members have
indicated their intention to take
in all or part Of the series. In
addition to O'Brien, they include
Democrats Mrs. Green (Ore) and
Sisk (Calif) and Republicans Say

.Briton Gathers
Traffic Data

A short, dapper Englishman,
with more questions than a tele-
vision quizmaster, kept more
than 20 national and local traf-
fic experts busy with answers
yesterday in the Mayflower
Hotel.
Alex Samuels, chairman of the
London Traffic Advisory Com
mittee, met with the experts to
help find a solution to England's
growing traffic problems.
Mr.. Samuels. along with Lon
don Police Commissioner A. E.
Young and Dennis O'Neill, un-
dersecretary Of the Ministry of
Transportation and Civil Avia-
ton, arrived in this country this
week for a To-day visit to six
cities to observe American meth
DDS of handling traffic.
Paramount on the long list of
traffic ills facing the British
is the matter of speed
limits, according to Mr.. Samuels,
owner of large fleet of London
taxicabS. He explained that the
national speed limit for his coun-
try is 80 miles per hour. Where
that rate does not apply, there
is no speed limit.
Kermit B. Rykken, special as
sistant to the executive vice
president of the American Auto
mobile Association, which spon-
sored the luncheon. told the
visitors the trend here is towards
scientific speed coming to gauge
the pace motorists set for them
selves.
Speed limit, set too low, invite
themselves to be violated" he
pointed out.
England also has its parking
problems, Mr.. Samuels said. A
bill before the House of Com
mons would allow the city to
charge for on-street parking.
Until this is passed, he said,
there is no legal basis for park
ing meters.
How do you Americans ham
die the problem?" he asked.
1--WE use an old English law to
justify ourselves" replied S. T.
Hitchcock. Of the U. s. Bureau
Of Public Roads. THE Kings
highways should not be used as
a stable yard"

FAMOUS FABLES
BY Z. E. EDGAR

DELAY: Will Rogers paid
little attention to his personal
appearance. Never fastidious, he
was content to wear the same
suit for days.
One time he was invited by
President and Mrs. Coolidge to
dinner at the White House. Din
|ner was to be at 7. which meant
7 on the dot. as the Coolidges
were known for promptness.
Rogers came down from New
York on the afternoon train,
which was delayed. When he ar
rived at the White House the
President and the First Lady
were already entering the dining
room. The humorist apologized
for being late.
The President accepted his
apology graciously. Then, with a
glance at Rogers rumpled suit,
he said:
mo need to change your suit.
Since we're ready to dine, we
might as well do So"
Rogers made no reply. Under
his breath, however. he thanked
his lucky stars that the train had
been delayed. A change Of attire
had not occurred to him. The
suit he was wearing was the only
one he had with him.

Answer: Dictionary consensus

Kansas City: The dictionaries
show bona fide as "BOE-nuh-

in this part OF the country, ap-
parentiy. is "BAH-nuh- fled" l

Answer: No dictionary known
to me lists any pronunciation
but; BOE-nun FY-dih. How
ever, "BAH-nuh fed" (fied to
rhyme with "tied") is the pro-
nunciation of many Americans.
I think the dictionaries should
list it.

BY EASLEY BLACKWoOD


MIR. Champion had issued his
full measure of criticism and Mr..
Muzzy was pretty badly ratified.
In desperate effort to get back
those lost points he put today's
hand in six spades-for which
there was apparently no play at
all.
The opening lead was the
queen Of hearts and he won with
the ace. He laid down the ace
of diamonds in the faint hope
that the king would drop. When
it didn't he could see he was
down one at best. Well, anyway
they couldn't keep him from
going over to dummy with the
ten Of spades and taking the
club finesse.
This he proceeded to do, leading
the trey of spades toward the
dummy. MIR. Abel played the
four and at this point Mr.. Muzzy
was looking at one of the kibit-
zers, still arguing about the last
hand. He reached for the ten of
spades, but grabbed the eight
spot instead.
When his attention returned to
the game, he was stunned to see
only the deuce. trey. four and
eight of spades in the middle of
the table. Where was the ten,
which he had intended to play?
All, there it was in the dummy
still unplayed. Mr.. Muzzy's next
remark practically broke up the
game. Whose eight?" he asked,
suspiciously.
When Mr.. Champion was able
to speak he explained that the
eight had come from the board.
So Mr.. Muzzy now played the
queen of diamonds which held,
while the trey Of hearts was dis
carded from the closed hand.
Next came the jack of dia-
mands. covered by Mr.. Dale's
king and ruffed by Mr.. Muzzy
with the six of spades. The seven
of spades was led to dummy's
ten. clearing the tl'umps and. of
course. there were plenty Of good
diamonds to take care of the rest
of Mr.. Muzzy's losers. A grand
slam.
What a play that eight of
spades was! It meant the diff
ference between down two-and
an extra trick.
"Muzzy." said Mr.. Champion
severely. when Dale covered the
queen of diamonds with the king.
why didn't you ruff with a high
spade?"
Would have made more?"
said Mr.. Muzzy with sly and I'M
aI1swerable logic.
