BOMB PLACED AT U. S. I METHODISTS BURY
FOREIGN EMBASSY!
BUENOS AIRES, Argentina, May
17.—A bomb was exploded in front
of the United States Embassy late
Sunday night. No one was injured
and only slight damage was done.
The bomb, which exploded in front
of the main entrance of the Embas-
sy7, tore a hole in the left side of the
door and shattered several windows
of the building and of neighboring-
houses.
Only servants were in the building
at the time of the explosion. They,
at first, attributed the noise to the
bursting of a tire and did not realise
a bomb had exploded until police ar-
rived within a few minutes.

pacy committee and refused to elect

port from the committee was laid on
the table without discussion and the
majority report adopted amid ap-
