The administration has
strongly opposed the bill and
some House members feel 1t
might be wise to withhold ac-
ton on the bill this year.
However, the very fact that
hearings have finally been held
this year on the bill, after
vain attempts in former years
to get any attention from Con-
gress, is encouraging to some
Federal employe leaders. They
feel that it is q hopeful sign
that such legislation might
eventually be enacted in a not
too-distant future year.
Meanwhile. a survey made
Of the sick leave situation in
industry by the Society for
Personnel Administration shows
that most industrialiSts frown
on compromising their en-
ployes for unused sick leave.
COMMENTS-H. F. Dona-
hover, manager Of General
Electric's employee and COM
munity relations at the GE
plant in Cleveland, declared !:
II believe it is a great mistake
to reward this type of indi-
vidual for several reasons. One,
if you have a problem of alb
senteeism, I don't believe this
is the way to go about cor
|recting tiff you have good
personnel policies, good work.
ing conditions and good super
visors you won't have such an
absentee problem.
1.-TWO, by putting a premium
on attendance you give an in
.centive to sick people to come
to work where they will infect
others and also endanger their
own health. Three, some people
are just healthier than others,
so why reward those who
picked the right ancestors"
All of the industrialists
agreed that excellent sick leave
records on the part of employees
should be accompanied by off,
cial recognition by employers
in the form Of concentrations
or notices in employee publica-
tons and on bulletin boards.
This already is being done in
Government in the form of the
1000 hours sick leave "clubs"
and individual citations.
C. T. Hasson, manager of
personnel policy and procedures
of General Foods Corporation,
commented:
I'm today's way of life 1T
seems unnatural to compensate
an employe for experiencing
good health. Having his good
attendance record recognized is
important to an individual, and
it should be part of the overall
.evaluation of his performance.
If we were able to weigh the
relative merits employees would
place on an attendance bonus
arrangement versus recogni-
ton, I feel certain the scales
would tip in favor of recogni-
ton"

Argentine And Chilean
Films Going 10 Cannes

PARIS, (UP). - An Argentine
film and another Chilean will be
shown this year in the moving pic
ture festival at Cannes, beginning
May 2 and ending the Is.
So far, no other Latin American
country has registered any NOV
ing picture for the festival, but
Costa RIGA and Haiti which will
show two short ones.
Cuba and Bolivia, and three
more countries, Iran, Luxembourg
and Monaco, reported they will
send shorts but not any moving
pictures.
Thirty three countries in total
have reported they will show NOV
ing pictures, twenty eight of them
showing long ones. The rest will
show short one.
The Argentine moving picture
is known as "Rosaura A Las DieZ"
and the Chilean Gel Arroyo Olvi-
dado".
Spain will show one named "La
Venganza' and the United States
one named Los Hermanos Kara
mazov", based on the novel of the
same title by Fiodor Dostoyeviski,
The great difficulty for the or
ganizerS of the festival seems to
be to bring enough actors, and
specially, actresses.

Nixon 10 Watch Soviet Commercial
EXPANSION Plans in Latin America

They says the Vice President
will discuss these matters with
high officials of each visiting coun-
try, Uruguay being the first coun-
try to visit in his tour, because
of a Soviet offer to buy Urugua-
yam wool.
These sources say Nixon cons
iders Soviet Russia will not offer
any kind of economic aid to Latin
America, but will sell with a loss
to place her goods at lower prices
than the United States, Great Bri-
tain and others can offer.
They also say that Russia might
offer to pay higher prices for the
Latin American products than those
offered in international markets.
If the international situation
permits, Nixon intends to visit
Great Britain and other countries
at the end of August, and this
would be an opportunity to discuss
his findings about the Soviet trade
intentions with Latin America,
which could be of interest for the
European government to know.

WASHINGTON (UP)-It is the
purpose of Vice President Richard
Nixon to keep an eye closely on
Soviet commercial expansion plans
in Latin America, when ne goes
there the q of April, it was re-
ported by readable sources.
Official sources say that Vice
President believes this expansion
of trade might vitality affect the
commercial relations between
Latin America and United States,
Great Britain, and other nations
with which thew have traditional
ly enjoyed commercial relations.
Nixon adds, these sources say,
that as Russia is convinced that
her safety is guaranteed by her
nuclear reserves, she will use cons
iderable funds to create chaos in
the normal pattern of the inter-
national trade relations.
They say the Vice President
of the Latin American countries
welfare depends upon n or two
exports, which is vulnerable to
any commercial Soviet offensive
unless something is done in time
to offset such maneuverings.

Chilean President Ibdnez
Cancels Washington Visit
Copper Tax Request And PretocoI
Precedent Believed to be Reasons

SANTIAGO DE CHILE. (UP).
President Carlos Ibanez del Campo
cancelled his PROJECTED official
visit to United States, notifying
President Eisenhower, it is about
his reasons, in a personal message.
The Executive was scheduled to
arrive in Washington April 20,
upon personal invitation of his
United States colleague.
Cancellation notice of the trip
was given to the press by Mario
Ciudad, General Secretary of the
government. He said the visit
had been cancelled without giving
reasons.
In reliable sources, however,
there are two supposed reasons,
for the unexpected notice. In the
first place the request of Fred
A. Seaton, Secretary of the Int
rior to Congress, to Immediately
impose a tax on copper imports,
instead extending the present sus-
pension of such tariff.
In second place, the fact that &C.
cording to the provisional program
of reception to President Ibanez
in United States, as published here,
President Eisenhower will not go
to the airport to welcome the
welcome the Chilean Executive.
Since the precedent. set by Pre-
sident Eisenhower when he went
to the airport to welcome to the
King of Saudi Arabia, the Execu-
tives of other countries have fol-
lowed with interest the p%rotocole
formalities. When Queen Eliza
beth recently visited Washington,
Eisenhower went to the airport to
welcome her.

THE THEME OF DEMOCRACY DURING
Pan WEEK

AS indiSputable evidence that democratic ideals con-
St1tute The maximum aspiration of the peoples of America,
during these days Of Pan American Week distinguished
elements, representative of political thought in our Con-
tinent have stressed in public documents the need of an
effort, within the Inter American System, by virtue of its
theological principles and in the name of its institutions, to
find the way to eliminate in America every shadow OF Op-
preston, every regime that is not a faithful reflection OF
popular will and OF republican nOrmS.
The governments which, for some reason, exercise
special influence in continental life, have the duty to heed
this clamOr of America and, above all, to do whatever they
can in order not to defraud the democratic hopes of the
peoples who wish, throughout the Hemisphere, freedom
that is not a word without meaning, but an %unShakable
reality.
JOSE A. MORA AT THE ORGANIZATION
OF AMERICAN STATES
During these days of Pan American Week, aimed
to give stress to the high significance of the Inter Ameri-
can System for the t~wenty-One countries forming it, it is
OppOrtune to recognize the work that, as GAS Secretary
General, is being achieved by the eminent Latin American
diplomat and statesman, DR.. Jose A. Mora, who completed
the term of the late DR.. Carlos DaVla, being elected later
for q complete term.
Before he went to the post of Secretary General Of
the Organization of American States, DIR. Mora, in his ca
pacity as Representative of the Republic of Uruguay and
as former President of the Council, had outstanding par
~ticipatiOn within the GAS, contributing his talent, his de.
mOcratic S~ensibility and his intellectual capabilities to the
development of that agency, of which today he is the top
administrative official.
The work that as Secretary General DIR. Mora is
achieving, is being felt both in the United States and Latin
America. The special celebration this year of Pan Amer
lean Week, which has had continental repercuSSiOnS, is a
result of his continued efforts, with the efficient cOllabOra-
ton of the Public Relations Department of the Pan Ameri-
can Union.
THE AMERICAS DAILY, in commenting briefly the
work of DIR. Jose A. Mora as OAS Secretary General, ex-
Uruguayan for the success he has achieved, wishing him
in the discharge of his mission, continued success, for the
prestige of the Organization of American States and the
ideals giving life to that institution.

Government and diplomatic circles
are deeply concerned about the
cancellation of the projected Of
ficial visit to the United States by
the President of Chile, Carlos Tba-
nez del Campo.
The first notice was received
here while the Organization of the
American States Council was
meeting to commemorate the tenth
anniversary of the OAS' Charter.
Mario Puga, Chilean Ambassador
was called and left the room to
receive the report from his Embas-
sy, but declined to make any com
ment.
Roy Rubottom, Assistant Secre-
tary of State for Latin American
Affairs, was informed about the
matter by United Press.
He seemed to be very concerned
and commented: "That is very
bad".
Immediately he met with Ambas-
sador Puga in another of the Pan
American Building, where the
Council met.
The notice about the decision
of the Chilean Executive rapidly
spread among the Latin American
diplomats in the meeting, after
which a luncheon was given in
honor of Carlos SAM de Santa Ma
ria. Colombia's Foreign Minister.
The immediate thought was that
the Chilean Executive had been re-
quested to modify his plans, in
view of the action of Fred A.
Seaton, Secretary of the Interior
to Immediately impose a tax to
the copper imports, the principal
source of Chilean income in dol
lars.
