President Castillo is considered
proud, stubborn and a fighter.
He’s a thorough nationalist, re-
presentative of the up-country-
cattle and wheat barons who have
been conservative and isolationist
since colonial days.
The conservatives hare the
government by accident—the
death of Pro-Democratic Presi-
dent Roberto Ortis. which eleva-
ited then Vice President Cas-
tillo to the presidency.
The conservatives want to stay-
in power, and the neutrality issue
is tanpled with Argentine politics.

Chief argument cf the South

Chilean President Juan An-

ed hie government to continue
its crackdown on Axis agents
and push production of vital

Foreign Minister Enrique Guin-
azu of Argentina sent a polite
message expressing ‘‘solidarity
and interest.'
Argentina also announced new
rigid controls cf cable and wire-

“messages that might injure the
security cf American countries.”
And it thanked Under Secretary
Welles for having sent three mem-

espionage in Argentina.
Some Chileans predict that their

"Helping teacher" means more
than dusting erasers for 224 Uni-

ants, who have an increasingly im-
portant job now that the war has
depleted the University's regular
faculty.
Student assistants teach no
classes, but they do serve us tutors
for students who need extra help
after class h-.-.irs. Their biggest
jobs, however, are attending to
routine office jobs, checking class
rolls, and grading papers. Assist-
ants in the science departmest
frequently c< ach students in lab-
oratory work.
On th - regular payroll of the
University, student assistants re-
ceive frem S15 to $50 monthly

amount of time the 0,1, requires.
Assistants are upperclassmen, sel-
ected - n a basis t scholarship.

Hard-fighting, resourceful Gen. Henri Giraud has two passions—love or France and hatred of Ger-
many. Captured in World War I and this war, he escaped both times; today sees in the U. S. occupa-
tion *of Vichy-North Africa a new opportunity to strike at the hated Nazis. To this end he is or-
ganizing a French African army to fight side by side with the allies. Respected personally and as a
military leader, the colorful general is expected to rally a large Fighting French force. NLA

Teen-Age Draft

WASHINGTON. Nov. 16——
Senator O’Daniel <D-Tex>, joining
in support < i the teen-age draft
i bdl in its final form with his
i wn important amendment elimin-
ated. declared the very fact his
proposal had been incorporated in
the measure even temporarily
should have :i beenficial effect on
the war effort.
The O’Danict amendment had
: provided that the IB-19 year old
youths inducted int th? army
should have at least V\ months
training before being assigned to
foreign (•'mbat duty. The senate
wrote the amendment it * the bill
when originally passed by that
body The house refused to accept
the proviso, however, and in the
end senate yielded.
Commenting < n the measure as
finally agreed upon, O’Daniel on
the senate flour said:
•1 have the feeling that the
widespread discussion of this
amendment has been beneficial
to our national war effort, be-
. cause those in charge uf the
training must now realize that
the. alone will can the full
responsibility » t properly training
out teen-age boys.
•If these beys should be sent
into foreign c mbat duty with
less than 12 months' tram lug and
meet serious reverses, certainly no
blame can bo placed on any of
the 39 senator.1 who. voted my
amendment into* the bill.”
He declared he had backed tin*
training proviso after considering
the testimony before congress

generals, wh»> -poke «•! the neces.-
