Chile (;oes fo Polls Today fo Choose New President Rios and Gen. Ibanez : Are Rival Candidates; U. S. Favors Former . By the Associated Press. SANTIAGO, Chile, Jan. 31.—Chi- leans will choose tomorrow between Juan Antonio Rios, candidate of the “democratic bloc,” and Gen. Carlos Ibanez del Campo, former so-called “dictator” and nominee of the right wing, as their next President. Rios is the middle-of-the-road leader of the moderate wing of the Radical party, Chile’s largest politi- cal group, an outspoken advocate of Pan-American solidarity and col- laboration with the United States for hemisphere defense. Ibanez, who was regarded also as extremely friendly to the United States when he was President from | 1929 to 1931, strongly denied op- | position accusations that he is to- | talitarian-minded, and called him- | self “the most pan-American of the candidates.” Chile and Argentina so far are the only Latin American nations which have not ruptured relations | with the Axis. Rios’ Election Favored By U. S. Government The United States Government is hoping that Chile will elect Juan | Antonio Rios its new President. i The State Department and the | White House, following the good neighbor policy which forbids inter- ference in the domestic political af- fairs of the other American re- publics, have kept silent on this election. However, it has been learned that the favored candidate is Rios, be- | cause it is felt that his presence in the highest office in Chile will | facilitate the course of the hemis- | pheric solidarity during the war. | A report was sent to the United | States that followers of Gen. Ibanez | del Campo are claiming official | American support for his candidacy. | ‘The American Government refused to refute this claim, but it has no foundation. | The election of Rios, it is said, | would be regarded as favorable not | only for hemispheric solidarity but for- the establishment of Chile as a firm voice in inter-American af- fairs.

O.P.A. Tells How To Have Sweets, Yet Save Sugar By the Associated Press. The Office of Price Administra- tion, saying that sugar rationing would work no hardship at all if consumers substituted fruits and natural sweets, offered this advice yesterday: “Try less sugar in your coffee and tea. Many people prefer these bev- erages without any sugar. In any case, stir up well the sugar you use in coffee and tea. Sugar doesn't sweeten your drink if you leave it unstirred at the bottom of the cup. “Make fewer desserts that require sweetening with sugar. Fresh fruit salad is one dessert that has plenty of natural sugar. “Dried fruits such as raisins, dates, figs, prunes, peaches, apricots and others are rich in sugar and should be eaten with breakfast cereal, in desserts and in place of candy, to save gugar. “Fresh fruits are rich in sugar content and should be used ex- tensively. “The candy, ice cream, chewing gum and soda you have during the day all contain sugar. If you use much of them, the sweetening in them gives you energy and you don’t need so much sugar with your foods.” St. Paul’s Academy Party A card party to benefit the li- brary of St. Paul's Academy will be held February 16 at the school, 1421 V street NW.
