Office in The Chatham Phillips' mmnsum La Prensa Situation Puts Snag in Peron's Relations With U. S. Forced shutdown of the big liberal Buenos Aires newspaper, La Prensa. has put a crimp in United States efforts to co-oper ate with the Argentine govern ment. This was made clear yesterday by Edward G. Miller, jr., Assist ant Secretary of State for Inter American Affairs, after his return from a visit to Argentina and other Latin American countries A news vendors’ strike has kept La Prensa closed for weeks. The i strike is generally conceded to be motivated by the government of : President Peron in an effort to ! silence critcism prior to elections coming up next year. Mr. Miller expressed his deep concern over the situation in a statement read to a news confer ence “as a friend of Argentina.” He recalled American ideas about freedom of expression and said every believer in a free press "must feel deeply concerned over the situation of La Prensa and its employes.” Mr. Miller made it clear that public reaction in this country to the Argentine government’s at titude toward the La Prensa strike has forced the State De partment to slow down co-opera tive policies which until recently had been producing constructive results in improving relations with the Peron regime. Wender Tells of Turnover In Recreation Personnel Recreation Board Chairman Harry S. Wender told members of the Mount Pleasant Citizens’ Association last night that recre ation personnel turnover has in creased “fantastically.” owing to military manpower demands and other causes. He used to prepare personnel lists of prospective employes once a month, the board chairman said, but now has to draw them up as often as twice a week. Mr. Wender told the group the turnover of trained recreation workers is not the department’s only problem. He described plans to build a playground shelter and two field houses and said these have been modified to meet Na tional Production Authority orders on building materials so that “practically nothing but bare es sentials is left.” The association indorsed a policemen's, firemen’s and teach ers’ pay raise resolution of the Federation of Citizens’ Associa tions and backed its request to have Metropolitan Police with drawn from Federal duties, in cluding guarding of Blair House. Association members were told the Civil Defense Committee has been “unable to find a head war den for the area.” W.

Phone: Executive 3944 What can you do to protect your money? Dollars that are simply set aside won't buy as much. That’s sure. Dollars invested in selected common stocks are much more likely to keep their purchasing power. Why? Because when prices of food and clothing and j everything else you use go up, the prices of com- j mon stocks usually rise too. A perfect 'inflation hedge”? Of course not. There’s no such thing. But we don t know a better one, particularly for the man who can ignore short-term swings and keep his eye fixed on the long-term trend.

If there were some way to strip a Cadillac of every identi fying emblem it possesses, and judge it solely by the way it rides and handles and performs—it would still be quickly recognizable as the “Standard of the World.” But think what a Cadillac brings you in addition to the solid value of its engineering and performance and comfort “and handling ease—the wonderful Cadillac name! Perhaps in all the world, there is no inanimate object which speaks so eloquently as the Cadillac shield. It talks of background, of progress, and of faultless workmanship. It proclaims a promise of years and years of the utmost motoring satisfaction. It speaks of its owner, and identifies him as a man of accomplishment and discrimination. In fact, there is nothing good and wonderful a motor car can bring that isn’t promised or implied by the beautiful Cadillac shield. And it speaks a universal language, which is understood and appreciated the wide world over. And remember, you pay no extra penalty for the pride and pleasure of having this great and distinguished name. They come as a “special dividend” with every Cadillac car. We deeply regret that we are unable to deliver new Cadillac cars without some delay. But the demand for the car is unprecedented—and much of the company’s energies and materials are now being devoted to the needs of national security. Once the car is delivered into your hands, however, we know you'll agree that—patience never brought a richer reward.
