JUSTO DESCRIBES ARGENTINE STAND 'Says Country Will Soon Wit - 'draw Pan-American Membership Williamstown, Mass,, Aug. (P—Argentina will withdraw from the Pan-American Union “as soon as the new generation gets the reins of 20— government in its hands. or perhaps Lioorio Justo, former chan- cellor of the Argentine embassy at Washington, told the general confer- ence on Pan-American problems at the Instituts of politics today. Mr. Justo, son of former minls- before,” | ter of war, Augustin Justo, said he founded his prediction on the “lack of equality and sincerity” in rela- tions between the United States and his country. Before the war, he said, the peo- ple of Argentina were friendly to- ward the United States, but “when the United States instituted an ag- gressive policy in the Caribbean area | and revis:d old doctrines for its own benefit began to realize our position in the western hemisppere.” With the rise of the United ates to this outstanding position in the we world, Argentina’s point of view changed. Mr. Justo declared, and Argentina felt “entirely the artificiality of the Pan-Americanism | which lacked sufficient foundation to endure the change of the situation.” Predicts Withdrawal “We have no interest in what lg called Pan-Americanism, and con- sequently 1 can assure you that as soon as the new generation gets the reins of government in its hands. or perhaps before, Argentina will with- from the Pan-American on" he seid ‘We left the League of Nations because we felt that it was an en- tirely new European institution and why are we going to stay in that at Washington which s purely a United States institution? When a new association of nations is cre- ated on a democratic and universal basis. we will join it, but we have nothing to gain meanwhile, from regional leagues or unions of nu- tions.” Mr. Justo said that Argentines ad e the United States but believe that so long as the relations of th: two nations ‘“are not based on | equality and sincerity the amity be- tween the Upited States and Argen- tine can never be true.” He said | the majority of his people look upon the United States policy in the Caribbean “as a violation of inter- national law and a threate” to Ar- gentine security. Called Liability Miss Sarah Wambaugh, former member of the League of Nations | secretariat and adviser to the Peru. vian government in the Tacna-Arica controversy, declared insistence of the United Sttaes alone for arbitra- tion of disputes in Central and ‘\ou(h America “is in fact a liabil- ity She referred to the Tacna-Arica dispute and said the motives of the United States “were constantly im pugned, first by one side the other.” “The Paris peace conference or the League of Nations. had either cen allowed to nction migh however, have found a solution she said, “which would have sparcd the cost both human and financial to the parties in interest and have saved the United States from diplo- matic humiliation and reproaches of partisanship.” ‘CHANGE DATE FOR HOOVER ‘ ADDRESS AT CONVENTION | President Will Speak to Legion Men | On October 6 Instead of October 8§ Washington, Aug. 20 (P—Presi- dent Hoover decided today to de- itver his address before can Legion convention in Boston October 6 instead of October 8.

Three planes which pressed the hunt for the Baltimore publisher for three hours this morning reported that there was such a strong tide out to sea and that ocean currents were moving away from shore in such volume that little hope remained for the present that the body would be found near the coast line. Coast guard boats, engaged since vesterday with planes, the Sabalo it- | self, and the naval dirigible Los An« geles in the search, were still stand- ling by today but Paul Patterson, editor of the Baltimore Sun, of whose publishing company Mr. Black was chairman of the board, said that the vacht was about to |leave the site where the publisher was missed at about 8 o'clock on Monday evening after having appar- ently fallen over a deck rail from his craft A report of the accident was made today to the New York office of the steamboat inspection service by Captain Kelley of the Sabalo. who was asked to return tomorrow with one other witness to complete tha formality of recording the tragedy. Captain Kelley was accompanied to- day by the chief engineer of the vacht, A. W. Hay Noted Air Enthusiast Baltimor¢, August 20 (UP)—Van Lear Black, Baltimore publisher and financier who fell from the deck of his yacht and disappeared, has been widely known for several | vears as an air enthusiast. Beginning in 1927 Black. who started his career as a bank clerk here, instituted a series of flights which took him more than 125,000 miles. At the time of Monday night's accident en route here from New York, he was understood to have been contemplating an early tlight around South America. Because of his interest in aviation and the wide notice given his long- istance flights, ‘Black became bet- ter known than he was as a publieh- er and capitalist although he had | | been a leading figure here for many vears and was reputed to be the wealthiest man in Maryland Born in Cumberiand, Md. in 1875, the son of a prominent family Black came here with his parents when seven years old. After com- | pleting his education, he hegan his | career as a clerk in the offices of |the Fidelity Trust & Deposit Com- pany. In 1920 he became president of the company. Black was director of numerous | financial ~concerns, being widely |known for his versatility and his energy in business. He retired sev- cial vears ago from many of these connections, but retained his post as chairman of the board of the company which publishes the Balti- more Sun. Aviation first caught his fancy many years ago, but he did not be- gin his extended flights until 1927 when he flew from London to Cairo with two Dutch pilots. The threa flew together almost constantly thereafter, and the publisher was decorated by Queen Wilhelmina of Holland after his ship had flown 20,000 miles from Amsterdam to the Dutch East Indies and back in | 1831 flying hours The publisher was married in 1539 to Miss Jennie Gary, daughter |0l the late Postmaster General James A. Gary. Five children sur- | vive | Governor Franklin D. Roosevelt. |a friend of Mr. Black, requested {that everything possible be done to promote the quest. The only possi- bility that he may be found alive ested in the fact that he was a |good swimmer and may have kept |himself afloat until picked up by some small ship Last Seen Sitting on Rail | Mr. Black was last seen shortly after 8 o'clock Monday night 18 miles south of Ambrose channel, sitting on the stern rail of his vacht, his legs entwined around the guard rails and one hand grasping a stanchion. He was smoking a cigarette. That day he had flown to |Newport to see his twin grandchil- |dren, just born to his daughter, | wife of Lieut. Albert J. Bolton. He had boarded the yacht at the whart |of the New York Yacht club, foot of 26th street, about 6 o'clock, ap- | parently delighted Shortly after 10 o'clock, his valst went on deck to consult him. Mr. | Black could not be found. Alarmed, the valet informed the captain, John W. Kelley. | Kelley ordered the yacht stop- ped and played searchlights on the water. “Seeing nothing.” Kelley said, “‘we started her again and put about. For hours we cruised. But we could find no trace of Mr. Black. There was nothing to do but give up and |put back again into Gravesend Bay. [ The only thing we found was Mr. Black's handkerchief near the rail of the aft deck. That told me what probably happened.” The captain said he had warned Mr. Black many times that his habit of sitting on the rail was dangerous land that he was apt to be thrown |overboard if the yacht gave a sud- den lurch in a swell. There were 16 persons aboard the | vacht at the time and none saw Mr. | Black fall. Te had eaten dinner on |the yacht with Mrs. J. Walter Lord |of Baltimore, his cousin. The yacht {was bound for Chesapeake Bay. Paul Patterson, president of the | Baltimore Sun Publishing company, | was informed of the accident by |telephone and came from Baltimore to direct the search. He said the | hunt would be continued on an even |larger scale | COLOR CHAN SHOWS STRESS New York (#—A minerial sub- jected to stress becomes tamporaris ly double refracting to polarized light and changeés color enougk for measuring the stress.
