Peace Groups Give Up on Presidential Race, But Strive to Elect Republican Congress

By BRUCE CATTON Times Special Writer

WASHINGTON, Oct. 11.— The organized peace [societies have walked out on the Presidential campaign, and. are concerning themselves solely with the Congressional elections. x LO Spokesman for : the peace group is Frederick J. Libby, head of the National Council for- the Prevention of ~ War. A determined foe of President Roose- ' velt’s foreign policy, Mr. sees little reason to hope for much

The Senate, they have written off already. Since only a third of its membership comes up for reelection, it'll be heavily Democratic | next session no matter what happens this fall; but it'd be perfectly possible for the House to turn up with a Republican majority even if the President should be re-elected, and that’s what the isolationist and peace groups are banking on. A Republican House would certainly put a crimp in the New Deal's foreign policy if for no other reason than that some of the key committees would automatically become dominated by Mr. Roosevelt's sharpest critics. For instance: Hamilton Fish of New York, perhaps the most outspoken isolationjst in Congress, is ranking Republican on both the Rules Committee and the Foreign Relations Committee. Understand-

Committee job; that

Affairs Committee, and if Mr. Eaton should be beaten at the polls the committée would be headed by George Holden Tinkham of Massachusetts, second only to Mr. Fish as a 100 per cent isolationist. ‘Naval . affairs committee would be headed by Melvin Maas of Minnesota, a firm opponent of swapping off navy equipment to Great Britain. John Taber of New York, a convinced budget-balancer, would run the appropriations committee, The important ways and means commit-

ted would be in the hands of Allen

Treadway of Massachusetts, an equally stalwart anti-New Dealer. Hence the peace groups figure that the big job right now is to help get a Republican House. They're concentrating on that— ‘with the proviso, of course, that an isolationist Democrat would be preferred to an interventionist Republican—and are letting the Presidential contest slide.

THE INDIANAPOLIS TIMES

POWDERED BLOOD SEEN AS LIFE-SAVER

By Science Service ! CLEVELAND, Oct. 11.—A powder resembling powdered milk but with the vital properties of red blood is the new life-saving aid U. S. Army surgeons hope to have the next time

American soldiers go into battle. Supplies of this powder, made from blood plasma, will, if it comes up to expectations, replace blood banks for blood transfusions in both military énd civil practice. Fluid blood plasma has already been shown to be as effective as whole blood for transfusions, Dr, John E. Elliott declared at the meeting here of the Association of Military Surgeons of the United States. . Plasma is blood to which an agent has heen added to prevent clotting and from which the red blood cells have been removed by centrifuging, somewhat as cream is separated from milk. Itis a life-saving aid not only for patients who have lost blood from wounds, but for those who have been severely burned-and those who are suffering from or in danger

of shock.

“old school tie” is being eliminated as a requirement for entry into the British Foreign Office service as a result of the war. That new blood was to be injected into the diplomatic services was emphasized when Labor Minister Ernest Bevin told the Trades Union Congress at Southport that the personnel would be democratized. A close liaison between the Labor Ministry and the Foreign Office, which Mr. Bevin announced in his speech, was undefstood to be an

agreement that the selection committee of the Foreign Office would henceforth examine candidates from secondary schools that lack the upper-class stamp - of Eton, Harrow, Rugby and a handful of other “public schools,” from which candidates for the diplomatic service heretofore have been drawn ex-

clusively. Pressure from Mr, Bevin

Every Schoolboy Can Hope To Be a British Diplomat Now

the new ruling. In former years Eton held a virtual monopoly on Foreign Office appointments, but later the list was

Apparently the committee ‘has also agreed to place less .emphasis than heretofore on- “family baekground” which was one of the four essentials. of all candidates.

BRITAIN MAY GET

FOOD IN ARGENTINE

BUENOS AIRES, Oct. 11 (U. P). —A deal. with Great Britain for Argentine foodstuffs involving the delivery of products worth from $100,000,000 to $160,000,000 may be signed in a few days, semi-official sources reported today.

The program, designed to solve Argentina's serious war crisis, is contained in a new proposal which the Argentine government has cabled to London. Payment for the products would be applied toward cancellation of Argentina’s foreign debt. It was proposed that the deal included an additional 1,000,000 tons of Argentine maize from a surplus which - resulted from: the collapse of the European markets, in addition to such products as wheat and meat. Among the most serious of Argentina’s economic problems created by the war are the disposal of food surpluses, unemployment caused by the dislocation of the markets and reduced production.
