WASHINGTON (IP) Rep, Dirksen (R-Ill) said Saturday that British censorship at Port-of-Spain, Trinidad, was causing serious dissatisfaction among United States business Interests in South America. Dirksen, member of ft special house air safety committee which Just returned from a 20, 000-mile trip to 14 South American and Latin American countries, told reporters that the unrest continue until another arrangement was made. American mail of commercial nature in many instances has been sent to London, he said. In one case, $75,000 was taken from a pouch of a United States business establishment at Rio and has been Impounded at London for many months.

The owner of this currency was disturbed because disposition of this cash may have to await an order of a prize court and the cash may not be returned until the war is over, Dirksen added American business men in Brazil and Argentina are concerned over the trade and economic secrets that have been taken from American mail and employed by other countries to divert and obtain this business from American firms.

HALIFAX SPEAKS Viscount Halifax, British ambassador to the United States, who was the target for a group of women members of a peace organization who recently threw eggs and tomatoes at him in Detroit, will head the list of speakers at the annual convention of the American Farm Bureau federation to be held in Chicago, Dec.

8 to 11, Edward A. O'Neal, federation president announces. Ambassador Halifax will be the banquet speaker the night of Dec. 10. Eggs and tomatoes may be on the banquet menu, but representatives of farmers are not likely to show their peace proclivities by throwing them at the speaker, a system which must be the expression of only the most extreme peace advocates.

English people are often accused of not having a sense of humor but the British subtly commented on the Detroit incident by saying that they envied the Detroit egg and tomato slingers because over In England they haven't enough eggs and tomatoes for their tables to say nothing about throwing them at people. English people too are passing around the pleasantries that many English people now are healthier than before the war because so many were too heavy before the war. It is a w'ell known fact that shortage of food in England has caused a tightening of belts over there. British soldiers stationed in Iceland are said to be living on just about half rations, according to letters sent home by American soldiers, who admit that they feel sorry for the British and take over to them occasionally some of the abundance of the American army kitchens. Among speakers at the Farm Bureau convention in Chicago will be Claude R.

Wickard, secretary of agriculture; Robert P. Patterson, under secretary of war; Thurman Arnold, assistant attorney general; John H. Bankhead, senator from Alabama; Clarence Cannon, congressman from Missouri; Donald M. Nelson, executive director of the supply priorities and allocations board: and Leon Henderson, price administrator. 1 BORROWERS PAY Eighty-two farmers out of every 100 borrowers are now current on their land bank loans.

This little book is a delightful introduction to characters whose sterling worth is in danger of being shadowed over by the speciousness of the anything but comic superman of today's comics." From Albert Whitman, Chicago publisher, come three juveniles.

JANO AND JENI, by Maria Van Vrooman, pictures by Gladys Blackwood ($1) is for the very young, a charming story of a Swiss boy and his goat, Jeni. Each page of text has a complementary illustration. Jano's life and his heroism In taking wood for fire through an Alpine storm make up this little story for children. FRANKA: A GUIDE DOG, by Walter illustrated with photographs is the story of a Seeing Eye dog from puppyhood to guide for Jane Wilson, a factual account for adolescent readers from twelve to eighteen. MIDSHIPMAN DAVY JONES, by Lt.

Raymond Toner, with illustrations by Toner, ($2.50) is the excitmg story of a boy in the War o' 1812. Lt. Toner's illustrations and text details are authentic. This one is a reissue of a very popular book of 1938. Melicent Rumason Lee's SALT WATER BOY (Caxton: $2.00) is a juvenile about Indian boy life on the California coast, a sort of pale Indian Crusoe story.

Piyuck, the salt-water boy, fishes, hunts, swims and is finally cast up on a lonely island off his home coast, so that his resourcefulness comes into its own. Young people will enjoy this one very much, and Leslie Lee's illustrations, made on the scene, will add to their pleasure. At the turn of the century, one of the most popular comic artists and illustrators w'as Peter Newell. Despite the decades since his heyday, his work has never been successfully imitated and even today has freshness and originality. Harpers have just brought out one of his most popular juveniles, first printed in 1908: THE HOLE BOOK which is all about Tom Pots, who was fooling -with a gun when the pesky thing went off, and shot a hole through every page in the book.

Around the holes in the pages, Newell drew his illustrations, opposite which appeared his nonsense verse. The book will have its adult readers, too, and not only those who will turn to it nostalgically. For teen-age girls, Helen Dore Boylston, the author of the Sue Barton books, has written a new novel about a girl who wants to be an actress. CAROL GOES BACKSTAGE (Little Brown: $2) is the story of Carol Page, a Sue Barton kind of girl who will appeal to the small army of Sue Barton's admirers quite as much as their heroine. From high-school plays to the New York stage is the range of Carol's experience, but her experiences in living is far broader.

Mrs. Boylston always writes readable stories, and CAROL GOES BACKSTAGE is no exception. Her new book is further reason for the fact that Mrs. Boylston is one of the most popular writers of teen-age books. CAROL GOES BACKSTAGE is topflight work in its field.

Wisconsin Wrriters High praise has been given to Warren Beck of Appleton for his first book, a collection of short stories: THE BLUE SASH AND OTHER STORIES." published by the Antioch Press at Yellow Spring, Ohio, and shortly to be reviewed in the Times.

Balthis Is a hortieulturist at the Garfield Park conservatory, Chicago, and has written book from a background of wide experience. He wrote this book, he savs in his preface, as the result of numerous inquiries from the public concerning house plants.

It is not technical, but rather a simply written informative handbook, with helpful illustrations by Tabea Hofmann. A book specifically for indoor gardeners, PLANTS IN THE HOME xs thoroughly comprehensive; Balthis follows his preface and introduction with a short chapter on the plants' surroundings, another on soils and fertilizers. He then hits his stride in chapters about pots, transplanting, watering, syringing, insects, home propagation, window boxes, plants for men, miniature hothouses and rock gardens, house plants in summer. bulbs, cut flowers, closing his bock with indexes of English and botanical names. Since almost everyone is interested in having plants in the house, Balthis' book should have a wide circulation: PLANTS IN THE HOME deserves a good audience; it is clearly the result of much experience and painstaking research and experiment on the part of the author.

Phone F. 431 of California Botanical Garden expeditions to the Andes (1935-6 and 1938-91. "ILANT HUNTERS IN THE ANDES" is a fascinating story of adventure and discovery the colorful narrative of a hunt for South American relatives of the tobacco plant, for little known ornamental plants, and anything botanically new and different. A memorable trip began from Ecuador, led through Chile into the South Pacific, through Inca country into the Peruvian Andes and the jungles of the Amazon, over the steep slopes of Mt. Aconcagua, highest in the western hemisphere, traveling by boat, train, airplane, automobile, horse and afoot, with experiences that included shipwreck, forced landings, rockslides, and earthquakes in wild, primitive forest country.

With his wife and eight assistants, Dr. Goodspeed made the almost fantastically exciting planthunting trips about which he ha3 so ably written in his book, which is deserving of ranking among the bpst travel books because Dr. Goodspeed did not look only for botanical specimens, but saw and put down landscapes, peoples, and customs, so that PLANT HUNTERS IN THE ANDES has a far wider appeal than its title would seem to indicate. Moerover, the book illustrated with no less than 125 superbly made and excellently printed photographs, as well as three end-paper maps, tracing the overall route of the Botanical Gardens party, and two detailed routes. Smce South America is at the present time the focus of more national attention than at any time since the continent's history began, PLANT HUNTERS IN THE ANDES has the added virtue of being an extremely timely book.

How Calico tracks and tricks the Bad Men, led by Stewy Slinker, and ultimately brings about their reformation, is ideal fare for the young.
