Vandenberg Rejects Argentine Defense Treaty Proposal
Sen. Arthur Vandenberg rejected Argentina’s bid to limit the Inter American defense treaty to outside aggression, calling it an armed alliance against the world. The conference steering committee also dismissed a Cuban proposal to cover economic aggression as inopportune. Argentina’s stance clashes with Chapultepec and other drafts, which define aggression as armed attack by any state.

Freight reductions will not affect Alabama shipping
Montgomery AP Chairman Gordon Persons of the Alabama Public Service Commission said the so called freight rate reductions going into effect in the South and parts of the West will mean practically nothing to Alabama. He noted the rate equalization plan affects only interstate class rates making up under 3 percent of U.S. railroad freight. Alabama intrastate class rates are already lower, and he warned the South may wait many years for true rate equalization.
