Uses Reds as Club in Move To Get U. S. ‘Welcome.’

By ERNIE HILL - Times Foreign Correspondent BUENOS AIRES, Argentina, May 24 President-elect Juan Domingo Peron of Argentina is convinced he has the United States behind the eight ball, well-informed sources here state. He has opened a fullblown campaign to get us to strike - up the band, immediately after his June 4 inauguration, and welcome Argentine back into the interAmerican fold. One-time strongman Peron, despite other shortcomings, has never been described as lacking in political acumen, His latest move has been cleverly timed and planned. Chances for its cuccess appear great, diplomatic sources

say. Several weeks ago, Secretary of State James F. Byrnes and his assistant, Spruille Braden, softened their attitude toward Mr. Peron and said he might get his feet back in if he eliminated Nazi influences from his government. Three weeks ago, Mr. Peron summoned in U. S. charge d'affaires John Moors Cabot and said he wanted to talk over some big stuff. What Argentina had to offer was this: If the United States declined to play ball, Argentina was ready to make a deal with Russia for its needs, and swing over toward the Soviet camp. Arguments in favor of and against accepting Peron on such terms are ‘being debated with considerable conviction on both sides.

THE STORY: Joan Warren

ial arbi Ann tells Colin that she feels she has found a real friend in Joan,

CHAPTER 17 ANN ADORED Joan, but didn’t see much of her. The Warrens lived 10 miles away, on the other side of Port Drake,. and Joan was chronically rushed to death. Mrs. Bedelle was introduced to Ann a half dozen time or more,

but swallowed her fury, and not to. descend to the feud with her. After the first ‘time, she didn't make the mistake of \saying “We've met." She said, “How do you do,” cooly, and didn’t proffer a hand.

» 9 = ANN MET Skippy Bedelle, too, and was enchanted \by him. He was a big, dark, ‘good-looking man, jovial and essen naive. She felt immediately at the liking was mutual, but as had

without trying, it seemed better \to

felt, anyway, that even if she were

deprived of all companionship save Colin's she still would be content in Port Drake.

» » ANN WAS passing by on the outside of the library window one afternoon when she saw Colin pick up - a_ fistful of manuseript and throw it across the room. As’ it wasn't held together at all, it wasn't a successful gesture of rage, but fluttered messily about the floor. The action was so unlike him that she hurried inside. She paused in the door of the library, and looked at him. He was patiently gathering up the pages, and seemed perfectly calm. “Anything I can do?” she in- | quired.

» ” » . | HE LOOKED up, grinned and |dropped his papers to extend his {hands in a gesture of invitation. ! She came over and dropped to the floor beside him, where she nestled into his waiting arms. “Happy, Ann?" he asked after a little while, She nodded, and turned her head a little to kiss the end of his chin. . “How would you like to go to Hawaii?” “Right now?” she asked, a little lazily. She was rather enjoying the crisp fall weather, and tropic shores held no special allure, “You know, we never had a honeymoon. And the book that seemed so all important to me at the time has turned out to be the most awful lot of tripe that ever was set down on paper. So 1 just thought—"

In spite of your rather touching faith in me, they don’t run to mink coats and such like, I mean the Drake timberlands, and the mills and the ships.” Co Re FOR A WEEK they explored. Ann was a little bewildered by the vastness of it all. They drove.through miles of timber, and looked at saw-

mills rather unintelligently, and looked at ships and models of ships of the Drake Line. At the end of the week, Ann heaved a sigh of relief. “Let's go to Seattle for a vacation now, Colin,” she suggested. Colin grinned at her. “It isn't getting you down a little bit, is it?” Ann breathed deeply. “What 1

can't understand is why—with all the makings of a big business man -—you were strong-minded enough not to be one. “It was completely selfish,” Colin explained. “The business — the businesses—were handed to qme on
