After payment of the ity of $0.06 per pound on Argen- he canned corned beef, the net st to the Government would be out $0,097 per pound.

Scientific sex exhibits as well as near-nude girl shows -drew steadily expanding crowds at the World's Fair yesterday, with no indication the Fair bosses intend to censor displays' which reformers want tabooed. Life-size clay models, placards and booklets revealing the processes of childbirth attracted such throngs to the Hall of Man in the Medical and Public Health Building that it was listed as one of the most popular focal exhibits at the Fair. Attendants estimated close to half of yesterday's visitors saw or tried to see it. Despite the number of sightseers in the Health Building, only two complaints, both from elderly women, have been made about the "First Year of Life" section.

The exhibit is sponsored by the Maternal Center Association. A sign on a doll-decorated tree at the entrance reads: "It is silly to still believe that babies grow on sugar plum trees." The exhibits show the growth of babies from conception to the end of the first year of life. Other displays in the building feature the miracles of medicine and public health. Girl Shows Gain Favor. Down in the Amusement Area the various girl appeal shows-reported constantly expanding crowds.

All concessionaires looked forward eagerly to the official opening of the Area at 9 P.

The total attendance at 9 o'clock last night was 137,209.

Of this number 85,393 had paid, 48,192 were employes and pass-holders, and 3,624 were student-teacher groups. Fun for Congressmen.

the United States and Argentina. This is the convention signed four years ago by which Argentine fresh beef could be admitted to this country from areas proved free of hoof and mouth disease. Opposition of American livestock raisers has blocked ratification of the convention despite pressure from the White House and the State Department to admit Argentine beef as a part of the Hull trade compacts and the broad Roosevelt "good neighbor policy" toward South American nations. Argentina Resentful. The original embargo against Argentine beef of a decade ago has always been bitterly resented in South America on the grounds that the "hoof and mouth" disease cry raised by American cattle raisers was merely a smokescreen to conceal their real purpose to hold up prices of domestic beef by barring foreign imports.

At the White House press conference today, F. D. R. commented caustically that "hoof and mouth disease" can't come in cans. Figures at the Department of Commerce disclosed that, despite duties and restrictions, Argentina leads all nations of the world in exports of canned beef to the United States.

Other leading exporters to the United States are Uruguay, Brazil Paraguay. For the last three years the canned beef imports from Argentina and the total world imports to the. United States are: 1936 Argentina 39,973,136 pounds Total 87,803,599 pounds 1937 Argentina 41,359,582 pounds Total 88,097,133 pounds 1938 Argentina 33,901,720 pounds Total 78,597,000 pounds Void Citizenship for Fraud, Cotillo Urges A resolution calling for vigorous strengthening of the nited States naturalization laws and revocation of citizen- nip where it has. been obtained by fraud was being for- ulated by the Bronx County Grand Jurors Association following an address recommending such action Supreme Court Justice Salvatore A.
