WASHINGTON, March 1—(P-
Relations between the United
States and Argentina are moving
swiftly toward their third crisis
within a year and this time there
seems to be little chance of avoid-
ing a rupture.
The present Argentine regime of
Gen. Edelmiro Farrell is believed

The coup, aa it now appears
to have been, put an abrupt
end to the Ramires clean-up of
Axis activities In Argentina,
and forestalled any possibility
that he might be able to lead
Argentina all the way into the
Allied camp with a declaration
of war on Germany and Japan.
The United States government
takes a grave view of these devel- •
opments and has so advised Dr

20 per cent (nov 10).
Acting Secretary of State Stet-
tinius told a press conference late
yesterday that the exchange of
information among the American
capitals should be completed in
two or three days. A policy decision
probably will be made at that time
and announced promptly.
The first serious threat to
United States- Argentine rela-
lions within the year developed
last June when Ramires took
over the government through •
military coup. Washington de-
cided to recognise the govern-
ment after receiving assurances
that Ramirez intended to
break relations with the Axis.
The second threat developed last
December at the time of the Bol-
Ivian revolution when it became
evident that Axis forces working
within Argentina had been instru-
mental in engineering the political
upheaval Bolivia. The United
States and all other Amercan
countries decided not to recognize
the Bolivian government At the
same time this country prepared
to take drastic economic action
against Assentina.
Buenos Aires learned what was
planned and sent through a rush
promise that if Washington would
suspend the contemplated move the
government there would finally
break with Germany and Japan
The promise was made good a
few days later but the Farren coup
nut a stop to Ramirez’s efforts to
clean out Axis spy nests within the
country.

State Soil Saving
Program Launched
TEMPLE. March 1—(P—A state-
wide program of public education
in soil conservation has been
launched by the State Soil board
and the directors of the State Soil ,
District Supervisors association
Scheduled yesterday by the two
groups were district meetings to be .
held st Luling, April 19: Crockett,
May 17; San Angelo June 24:
Stephenville, July 12 snd Plainview,
Aug. 9. _ 5
The soil board approved small an-
nexations to the North Concho, Up-
per Leon and Middle Guadalupe
basin districts. The board receiv-
ed new-district petitions from the
Hardeman-Foard counties snd Mot-
ley-Cotton counties districts snd
approved hearings for them Cer-
tificates of organization were or-
dered issued for districts in Ken-
dall and Menard counties.
MIDLAND, Feb 30 - Pry.
chological research is now used at
Midland army air field to find the
right men for navigation and bomb-
ardier training.
In earlier days, it was the wash-
out pilots who went in for bomb-
ardier and navigation training.
Sometimes they worked out well-
sometimes they didn’t. In the tre-
mendous training program requir-
ed. sufficient time was lacking to
work out complete specifications to
determine exactly which types of)
men were best suited for which
jobs.
But now the Army Air Forces
training command is working out a
definite program of selection.
That’s where psychological re-
search comes in. The problem is
to decide what the characterise
ties of a rood bombardier are
and then how to find which
cadet - applicants have these
characteristics—in order that
expensive training will not be
wasted on men not fitted to be
combat-bombardiers.
| Psychological research is also be-
ing used to work out s definite
policy for the selection of instruc-
tors. Iron among men returned
from combat, for the bombardier
instructors’ school and for the cadet
bombardier school.
- The research will also be used
in the over-all program of reas-
signing all bombardiers who have
returned from active combat.

considering contempt action
against Daniels because of his re-
fusal to answer questions concern-
ing the REA. and Chairman Smith
(D-SC) disclosed today that the
proceedings may be broadened to
include Wickard who has made
similar refusals.
“We can’t Ignore Wickard,"
asserted Smith. “Whatever we
find we can do to Daniels
we’ll do. to him too. Wickard
gave us the same kind of talk
that Daniels did."
Smith said Wickard will be re-
called before his subcommittee for
further questioning about reported
attempts to induce REA Adminis-

said also that the group may take
formal action Saturday toward
bringing contempt complaint
against Daniels before the senate.

In an address yesterday Presi-
dent Claude K McCan of Victoria,
Texas, asserted that the armed ser-

percent of their meat requirements
this spring as the result of an ap-

shortage.
McCan criticized Office of Price
administration regulations which he
said "have been discouraging to
the feeder since May, 1942."
He denied that cattlemen are
holding animals on the range for
higher prices, stating: “You show
them that they can even come out
even and they will get the beef
steaks to you.”
