Argentina Offers A 'Peron Plan' For All Nations
Havana—(UP)—Argentina prepared today to challenge United States supremacy in the Western hemisphere by offering its own "Peron Plan" of $5,000,000,000 in loans to all needy nations of the world, especially South America.
The dramatic offer was announced in a press conference last night by Diego Luis Molinari, chief Argentine delegate to the United Nations trade conference here. He said the Argentine plan should go into effect at the same time as the Marshall plan.
Molinari's announcement came amid a scathing denunciation of the United States for limiting Marshall plan aid to the nations of western Europe despite Argentina's plea that the needy nations of the western hemisphere be included.
Immediately questioned by newsmen, Molinari said the Argentine plan envisioned long term credits and added that such loans generally were made for periods up to 50 years.
"We should immediately coordinate all the economic development of the Americas," he said.
Molinari indicated that some of the loans would be granted in the form of food, declaring that Argentina is capable of exporting 1,000,000 tons of grain a month "to feed the hungry mouths of the world."

'Fight Chinese Communists'
Washington—(UP)—Lt. Gen. Albert C. Wedemeyer today urged the United States to furnish military supplies and economic aid to the Chinese Nationalists government immediately to fight Communism.
At the same time, Wedemeyer refused to turn over to the senate appropriations committee a copy of his long-suppressed report on China. He said he was under orders from President Truman and Secretary of State George C. Marshall not to do so.
The report, prepared by Wede- meyer on the basis of a six-week tour of China and Korea last summer, has been labeled "top secret" by the state department.
Villagers Plan Warm Pipes
Last year, damages paid for frozen pipes after the Christmas vacation at Sunflower ran from $12 to $40 dollars.
Students leaving for two weeks or longer, who live in the new village can have the water shut off in their units for two dollars.
Those leaving Friday must have the job done beforehand as -no one will be on duty Saturday or Sunday.
In the old village chances of frozen pipes are very small unless the temperature drops to 15 degrees above zero. However, it is very important that all windows and doors are shut tightly.
The Village Civic organization has organized an aid program for the holidays. Eleven men have agreed to fire the pot-belly stoves for anyone gone during the vacation. The charge for this service will be worked out between the resident and worker.
Arrangements for having stoves fired can be made by seeing Mrs. Ammons at the Village Cleaners.

Washington — (UP) — President Truman signed today, without ceremony, the bill congress already has passed authorizing a $597,000,000 stop-gap winter relief program. The bill merely authorized the program. It carried no funds.
Truman Signs Bill For Stop Gap Aid
Administration forces indicated they would put up little more than a token fight for restoration of the $88,000,000 cut from the total by the house appropriations committee.
Spot Light On Speculators
Washington — (UP) — Republican senators today accepted the administration's challenge to turn the spot light on congressmen as well as executive branch officials who might be speculating on the commodity exchanges.
The challenge was accepted by Republican members of the senate appropriations committee as they entered a last-ditch fight to get the official list of grain speculators and their holdings from Secretary of Agriculture Clinton P. Anderson.
Sen. Homer Ferguson, R., Mich. said the appropriations committee will meet at 2 p.m. EST today to consider demanding the agriculture department records.
After a hastily called meeting of the Republican policy committee, chairman Robert A. Taft said that Anderson is "absolutely wrong" in his assumption that he is prevented by law from supplying the information on commodity exchange speculators to congress.
Taft emphasized that Republicans want all information on speculative trading in commodity exchanges.
"We want the whole story," he said, "no matter who is involved."
Taft indicated that the committee will ask Anderson about "possible leaks" from the government which may have reached traders.
Will Serve Cafe Style
"Meals will probably be served restaurant style at the new Union addition," according to a statement by Prof. George M. Beal, director of the University building program.
"Complete kitchen and dish-washing equipment will be in connection with the dining room." the chairman of the Union addition furnishing committee said. "The addition is connected with the fountain by double doors for greater convenience to the students," he continued.
Twenty-seven quartet tables and twelve tables for the continuous seats around the walls will be the capacity of the dining room, Professor Beal stated. The chairs and wall seats will be upholstered in red and tan cordoba, a plastic material.
Both Professor Beal and Miss Hermina Zipple, head of the Union cafeteria, declined to give any hint of the completion date for the addition. Professor Beal did say that the furnishings are about ready for shipment to Lawrence and that the plastering is well under way on the interior of the building.
The Mathematics club will hold its annual Christmas party Thursday at 7:30 p.m. at the home of the president, Joe Hull, 621 Louisiana.
