U. S.-Argentine
Peace Up To U. S. ,
BUENOS AIRES, f/P)—'The next
step in the long series of efforts
to restore harmony between the
United States and Argentina ap
peared Saturday to be up to the
state department in Washington.
Foreign minister Juan Bramug
lia informed a news conference
Friday night that eight more Nazi
agents were deported two days be
fore, bringing the total number of
agents thus far expelled to 60, and
that Argentina “now considers
she has satisfied all her hemi
sphere obligations.”
The U. S. state department has
been insistent that Argentina
clean out Nazi influences to com
plete fulfillment of her pledges of
continental solidarity and Bra
muglia’s statement was an indi
cation that Argentina now is ready
to stand on her record of compli
ance with the Chapultepec agree
ments.
Summing up this record, Bra
mugia said that of 125 proven or
suspected German spies, 60 have
been deported, 16 have been
traced to neighboring countries,
43 remained unfound and the re
mainder are free with United Na
tions approval or under arrest for
violation of Argentine laws.

levies 10.5 to 30 per cent.
Millikin, chairman of the com
mittee, told a reporter McClel
lan’s proposals “more properly
belong in a general revision’’ of
tax laws than in a biH to give tax
payers immediate relief.
McClellan proposed to increase
personal exemptions from the
present $500 to $750 for single and
$1,500 for married persons, and to
permit husbands and wives to di

“Russia Ahead Of
Alaska”—Wallace
SEATTLE, (JP)—Henry Wallace,
now on a national speaking tour,
swings into Washington’s Third
Congressional district, where he
has indicated he “will have a few
things to say” for Charles Savage,
former Congressman and the
Democratic nominee for the Dis
trict’s vacant seat in the House
Representatives.
Savage was not present when
Wallace sp«ke Saturday night in
Olympia under the auspices of
that capital city’s Democratic
county central committee. Speak
ing engagements in the opposite
end of his district prevented him
from attending the meeting.
Savage said he welcomes Wal
lace’s visit to his district but add
ed in a statement to the press he
does not want to be obligated to
either Wallace or President Tru
man if elected. “I want to be free
to decide the issues as they come
up in Congress,” he said.
Wallace wound up a busy day
in Seattle Friday night by telling
a crowd of 5,000 in the field artil
lery armory that Russia’s current
activity in Siberia, a short water
hop from Alaska, should not
alarm the United States.
‘‘I am glad Russia has developed
Siberia in the way she has,” he
said. “I want to see Russia do a
first class job but I also want to
see the United States do an equal
ly first class job in developing
Alaska,”
He proposed an exchange of
students between the University
of Alaska and Irkutsk university.
He said that ‘‘in the Russian Far
East, in the same latitude as Fair
banks, they are doing much more
experimentation than we are. In
other words, Russia has more in- i
terest in the Soviet Far East than
Washington, D. C., has in Alaska.”
Wallace Would
Exchange Students
’
FAIRBANKS f/P)—Commenting
on Henry Wallace’s proposal that
the University of Alaska and the
Irkutsk university in Siberia ex
change students, Dr .Charles Bun
nell, president of the University
.of Alaska, said he knows nothing
of the Siberian college.
He said he was aware of agri
cultural experiment stations at
Irkutsk and at Yakutsk and would
welcome the opportunity to ex
change farm students and partici
pate in agricultural experiments.
Dr. Bunnell said he conferred
with Wallace some time ago and
had made efforts to exchange
bulletins with the Siberian sta
tions. He sent three large pack
ages of university publications
via a Russian colonel at Ladd
Field to General Simeonov.
No bulletins were received in
return and no acknowledgement
was received from Siberia.

ACCENTING THE NEED .
GASHLAND, Mo., (/P) — The
fire committee of the men’s club
was discussing progress of plans
to organize a fire department
when the chairman’s wife, Mrs.
Virginia Williams, interrputed to
announce that a nearby farm i
home was ablaze.
The six committee members
jumped into a car and roared off
to the fire, but stood helplessly by
as the house was destroyed.
Afterward a member noted:
“When we get a firt' call nowj
all we can grab is our hats. We.
really need more than that.”
Navy Planes To Be
Jet Propelled
PEARL HARBOR, (/P)—Within
five years, most of the navy’s car
rier borne airpower will be com
posed of superspeed jet propelled
planes, says one of the navy’s top
airmen.
Vice Adm. Harold B. Sallacfh,
deputy commander in chief of the
Pacific and former chief of the
navy’s bureau of aeronautics, said
in an interview that great prog
ress already has been made in this
direction.
“This move will mean scrapping
our old ideas of carrier warfare,”
he said. “We are having to learr.
new deck techniques and new air
tactics in handling fast jet planes.
“In about a year we really will
g£t underway with jet tests
aboard carriers to supplement
tests being made now with a lesser
number of planes. These prelim
inary tests have been extremely
satisfactory and we are satisfied
that jet planes can be adapted to
carrier operations.”
Two of the navy’s, new jet
planes—the FJ, made by North
American, and the F6U, made by
Vought—have speed about equal
to the army’s P-80 Shooting Star,
which has been clocked at more
than 550 miles an hour, the ad
miral said.
Will Ship Europe
Million Tons Food
(By Edwin Shan':®)
BERr IN, (/?)—TTr->-nen port au
thorities announced vr5te"day the*
116 ships loaded with nearly one
million tons of food we e arriving
from May 1 to July 13 to alleviate
the critical shortages in the Amer
ican and British occupation zones.
While five of the ships were un
loading in Bremen and others
were discharging food cargoes in
Hamburg and Emden, air marshal
Sir Sholto Douglas, British mili
tary governor, told the Germans
they had no right to demand con
tinued sacrifices from Americans
and Britons to feed their con
quered land. He advised German
politicians to collect and distrib
ute better the available food
stuffs.
Col. Hugh B. Hester, chief of
the food and agricultural division
of the American military govern
ment, said the 1.400,000 German
school children in the U. S. zone
would receive a ration-free meal
at school daily by June 1. The two
million children in the British
zone have been receiving such a
meal for some time.
