To many, the message appeared to be an expresson of faith that Argentina would line up with the almost solid bloc of American na tions opposing Germany, Italy and Japan. The President voiced his hopes in a congratulatory telegram sent President Rooerto Ortz as Argen tina celebrated her independence day. He telegraphed that “we, are confronted with the harsh fact that many liberty-loving peoples whom less than three years ago were in dependent members of the family of nations are today enduring a bitter slavery. Their homes have been invaded—their libertes sup pressed.” Ortiz has had to go into semi retirement because of failing eye sight and ill-health. It is reported that he does not agree with the policy of “strict neutrality” laid down by acting Presdent Ramon S. Castillo. To Ortiz, Mr. Roosevelt expres sed his “confidence” that “the spirit of resistance to aggression and devotion to democracy so nobly personified in your actions and in your utterances will lead the people of your great country along those paths which alone can insure the continued preservation of those poltical and economic freedoms upon which our Ameri can civilization is based.” Argentina, with the second larg est navy in the western hemi sphere and with one of the biggest and best-equipped armies in Latin America, and Chile, her neighbor, are the only two American Nations that have not either declared war against or severed relations with the Axis. 3 -V Tin Salvage Institute Up To Ears In Junk NEWARK, N. J„ May 25.—(^)— The tin salvage institute is up to its ears in junk—and likes it. Designated by the government as the nation’s melting pot to re claim metal for war use, the insti tute s getting ready to put another squeeze on that old toothpaste or shaving cream tube you had to turn in before you could buy ano ther. It appears that the plant will have established on the side a tidy junk business for Uncle Sam be fore its reclaiming operations get under way in a week or two. “Weve got the queerest collec ton of stuff,” W. M. Rose, pres ident of the institute, reported to day. "One batch included an old sewing machine. Another contain ed some ice cream scoops and other fountain equipment. Then there has been a sprinkling of tin cans, tin foil, were—and some old plumbing connections, too.” 3 WPA P^WM Cost $339,767,000 During Next Year WASHINGTON, May 25.— (A>) — President Roosevelt, estimating WPA would cost $339,767,000 nd employ 400,000 persons in the 12 months beginning July 1, told Con gress today that the agency might be eliminated a year later if some expansion were made in the social security system. Studies of necessary changes in the social security aci already are underway, he said in a message, and recommendations will go to Congress soon. The action the legislators take, he added, will determine the ex tent to which we can move toward the further reduction or the pos sible elimination of the works pro jects administration.” While Mr. Roosevelt did not dis close what social security changes he had in mind, in other quarters the idea was said to involve direct federal-state payments to needy persons under 65 years of age. 3 -V Lake Cargo Carriers Will Not Transport Coal After June 1 WASHINGTON, May 25.— (/P)— The Office of Defense Transporta tion today forbade the use of Great Lakes carriers for certain coal movements, in order to divert more vessels to the hauling of iron ore to meet increasing war needs.

I’m driving to town to show the editor that letter'; from our boy in Australia!” Lack Of Air Strength Caused Loss Of Burma NEW DELHI, India, May 25—Ufl —The loss of Rangoon, Malaya and the Dutch East Indies and the necessary deflection of reinforce ments to India sealed the doom of Burma so far as maintaining air superiority there was concern ed, an RAF spokesman said today. The RAF spokesman made this explanation soon after Lieut.-Gen eral Joseph W. Stilwell, American chief-of-staff to Generalissimo Chi STORES TO PUSH S E OF BONDS Retailers Will Sell Nothing But Bonds From Noon To 12:15 July 1 WASHINGTON, May 25.— UP> — You won’t be able to buy anything but war bonds and stamps in the stores from noon to 12:15. p. m., on July 1. This suspension of normal busi ness was arranged today by the retailers advisory committee of the treasury to signalize the opening of the treasury’s campaign to sell $1,000,000,000 worth of war bonds in the month of July alone. Starting in that month, the treas ury hopes to sell that many bonds every month. Benjamin H. Namm of Brooklyn and G. Ray Schaeffer of Chicago, heads of the retailers’ group, ex plained the plan at a press con ference. They displayed thousands of telegrams from stores pledging cooperation. The plan is to ring all the bells, sound all the factory whistles, make all the other .noise possible at noon July 1 and then stop all commercial selling for 15 minutes while war bonds and stamps are bought and the governors of all the states deliver radio sales talks which will be broadcast in most stores. During the rest of July the re tailers plan a vast program of newspaper, radio and magazine advertising, elaborate window dis plays, special sales booths, public rallies and other promotion activ ities. Besides war bonds and stamps, the stores will sell paper flower corsages made up of war stamps and lapel insignia also made of war stamps. Namm said that each retail store would try to sell enough war bonds and stamps to equal 4 per cent of its July business. 3 -V Victory Safety Razor Is Now In Production WASHINGTON, May 25—UPl-The War Production Board reported that safety razor manufacturers to day started producing a "Victory razor” with a zinc cap, zinc or plastic guard and plastic handle. The board’s order of last week freezing sales of safety razors ex cept to the armed forces does not apply to retailers’ sales from stocks on hand, WPB said, and there is "no reason why anyone who needs a safety razor should go without one.” Use of copper in razors was banned completely, effective to day. The saving of brass will be substantial, the board reported. Last year 10,000,000 safety razors were produced, using 1,462,000 pounds of brass — sufficient to make 31,578,000 .30 caliber car tridges or 3,947,000 cartridge clips for the Garand rifle. 5 -V By the 4th century A. p., Rome had 28 libraries ang Kai-shek, reached India from Burma and said Japanese air su periority was the blow that hurt most in Burma. “They used to send over 40 to 50 planes daily and we couldn’t retaliate because we didn’t even have an anti-aircraft gun,” Stil well said. Questioned about the situation in India, the RAF spokesman said India’s air strength had been in creased in recent months and that the Allies had done more offensive bombing in the last three weeks than ever before in this theater. “But I don’t wish to suggest that we have as many planes here as we would like,” he said. “T h e problem of India’s air defense is as vast as the country itself.” The Allied air losses on the ground in central Burma were “particularly heavy,” the spokes man said, because of the diffi culties of dispersal. He paid tribute to the United States fliers and the RAF and said “events fully confirmed the superior quality of our airmen and aircraft and demonstrated that we can master the enemy with any thing approaching parity.” 5 -V Coca-Cola Company, Pepsi-Cola Action Is Finally Settled NEW YORK, May 25—1*1— The Coca-Cola Co. .and the Pepsi-Cola Co. an official of the latter raid today, have finally settled litiga tion over their trade mark swhich have been in use in this country more than 39 years. The official said settlement had been agreed upon following a de cision by the judicial committee of the Privy Council, highest court in the British Empire, that the trademark Pepsi-Cola did not in fringe the trademark Coca-Cola. As a result of the decision, the official said, litigations pending throughout the world are to be dismissed without cost to either party. The t’epsi-Cola official explained the disioute as follows: The Coca-Cola trademark was registered with the United States patent office in 1888. That of Pepsi Cola was registered there in 1903. About four years ago Coca-Cola Company, Ltd., began suit in Can ada on the grounds its trademark was being infringed by that of Pepsi-Cola Company, Ltd., and won a decision which was appeal ed to the Empire court, resulting in the Privy Council ruling, last March 19, in favor of Pepsi-Cola. Meanwhile, a similar suit was brought in Queens county, New York, by Coca-Cola although this has not been brought to trial.
