Premier Nikolai Bulganin announced the decision to Finnish Premier Vrho Kekkonen at the opening of a negotiation session in the Kremlin which Bulganin said he hoped would result in extending the Soviet Finnish friendship treaty of 1918. Kek-konen's response indicated the Finns will, agree.

Bulganin said Russia will withdraw its forces from the Porkkala area. The 152-square-mile enclave has always been closely guarded but from .1917 on the Soviet Union allowed Finnish trains to run through the area, under guard, to Leningrad.

Luppino, the nation's leading scorer and ball-carrier in tfaek in broadcasts from the rebel radio stations.

Informed sources Eaid they amounted to a loaded ultimatum. A broadcast in the name of the Puerto Belgrano navy base declared Peron must get out by 6 a.m. A station identifying itself as Radio Cordoba said the man who has run Argentina as chief executive for nine years must resign by the Sabbath's "first light." The sun comes up at 6:49. In any case, the implication was that any attack on Buenos Aires would be deferred until the deadline passes. Coupled with this capital In the rebels' threat of bombardment was Mar Del Plata, a seaside resort and commercial center of 104,000 population 233 miles southeast of Buenos Aires.

It has a submarine and seaplane base. The heart of Buenos Aires, the Plaza de Mayo, was blacked out in the night. Amateur air raid wardens cruised sectors bordering the pitch-black plaza to put out lingering lights spoiling the blackout. They snapped wires and broke fuse boxes of stores that had left lights on and knocked out neon signs. While the prospects centered on this capital city; home to three million of Argentina's 19 million people, the government claimed a major victory inland recapture of the city of Cordoba.

Rebel radio broadcasts disputed this. Two rebel stations that proclaimed they were in Cordoba fought on in the battle of the air-waves hours after the Peron forces said they had regained the city and put insurgent survivora into disorderly flight. The loyal army, in a midnight communique, asserted the rebels were using portable radios to air their claims that they still control Cordoba, 400 miles northwest of Buenos Aires. A massive government force was reported moving on the Puerto Belgrano-Bahia Blanca area in the south of Buenos Aires province. The communique said the loyalists have not yet launched an attack on Puerto Belgrano, but that the 5th infantry regiment and supporting warplanes are in position for the assault.

A broadcast earlier from the naval base said the infantry regiment had switched to the rebel side. "With the exception of these focal spots of rebellion," said a government broadcast, "the most absolute tranquility reigns." But the announcement of these provincial developments was paralleled by an order from Maj. Gen. Franklin Lucero, supreme commander of the loyalists, blacking out the Plaza de Mayo area of downtown Buenos Aires. The blackout order came after repeated warnings from rebel radio stations that the insurgents would bombard Buenos Aires from the air and from the sea in their battle to drive Juan Domingo Peron from the presidential office he has held since 1946.

The rebels proclaimed a blockade of Argentina's coast. Though the government has contended the navy is loyal, Adm. Juan F. Rojas Eaid In a rebel declaration: "All the fleet heads toward Buenos Aires. Triumph i3 near for the good of the fatherland and its Institutions." Across the broad River Plate fRio de la Plata) in Montevideo, Uruguay, an authoritative source said early Saturday night that the rebel warships were preparing, to bombard Buenos Aires within a few hours.

"This is a very dangerous hurricane," the Miami Weather Bureau advised. It urged coastal residents of Georgia and the Car- olinas to keep in touch with advisories all day Sunday.

His statement to Soviet government leaders in Moscow appeared to signal the start of the East German rearmament. The Warsaw treaty of last May stipulated the question of East German participation in the "Red NATO" should be discussed later. Grotewohl's opening statement in Moscow negotiations was distributed here by ADN, East German government news agency. J'We agree with the government of the Soviet Union that the only road for security of the European peoples and the creation of a durable peace is the creation of a European collective security system, which will lead to the gradual dissolution of the military groupings existing in Europe," Grotewohl said. "Since no all-European treaty on collective security has been concluded, the (East) German Democratic Republic will now go ahead with fulfilling its obligations according to the Warsaw Treaty on friendship, cooperation and mutual aid." Fast Germany had bren tf mpo- rarily exempted from, participation in the unified military command.

East Germany at present has armed forces estimated at 130,000. These are mostly Russian-trained and Russian-equipped infantry troops called "Barracks Police," plus a tiny Navy and Air Force. Grotewohl declared "the integration of all Germany into the (Western) NATO can never become a reality." "If, however, both German states join an all-European collective security, system, the reunification of Germany on a peaceful and democratic basis becomes possible." Grotewohl said his government will increase its efforts to enter into negotiations with West Germany. He said such joint talks which West Germany rejects could create the basis for eventual reunification. "We also express the hope that the four great powers reach agreements on the creation of a collective security system at the Geneva conference and thereby help the German people find their way to achieve unity," he said.

He called on the Soviet Union to solidify relations with East Germany through a bilateral treaty on the sovereignty of the East'German Republic. Many Seek Ariz. Teaching Permits PHOENIX. Sept. 17 CP) L.

Harkins said the office has received a heavy load of applications from out-of-state teachers.

"We are for coexistence because two systems exist the capitalist and the socialist. "We don't have to fight. Let us have peaceful competition and we will show yon where the truth lies. If you believe the capitalist system can accomplish something, enter this competition. The truth is on the side of the people.

Apart from that, we do not depend on your hate or love. We go our own way. Victory is ours." Referring to the recent, negotiations here between Bulganin and West German Chancellor Konrad Adenauer, Khrushchev said: "Bulganin has said that be received Adenauer in this room.

Two years of 2,067 days In jail were spent in solitary confinement, he said. Buol was arrested by the Chinese Communists on the Mengtze airstrip 140 miles south of Kunming in January, 1950.

Buol, who was a Marine pilot in World War II, was operations officer for the American-owned Civil Air Transport at the time. The Reds accused him of "assisting Chiang Kai-shek's brigands to wage civil war against the Chinese people." The Communists also released Bishop Alphonse Ferroni, 63, an Italian who said he had been a prisoner since 1951. He was so weak he had to be carried across the Shumehun River border. His stick-like arms bore marks of iron cuffs. But he told fellow priests "my mind is my own." He signed no confessions, he said.

Bishop Ferroni said six or seven Americans had boarded his train at Hankow and might have reached Canton, SO miles from Hong Kong. Negotiations at Geneva by U.S. Ambassador U. Alexis Johnson got the promise of immediate release of 10 American civilians of 41 held in China. Twelve of the 41 not actually under arrest were declared free to go when thev chose.

The other 19 may appeal to Britain charge d'affaires in Peiping to help them get out. Buol told American and British officials who welcomed him that "morally I was treated bad ly but that he had not been treated too badly physically dur ing his imprisonment. Buol said he was given a "trial last Sunday at Chungking where he had to write a "confession." He also said he "confessed" about the activities of his airline after an intensive interrogation in January 1951. Two Americans were released Friday, Father Harold W.

Twice Arizona bogged down on drives into Ram territory in the first half. With a minute left in the first quarter and the ball sitting on the Rams' nine with fourth down, Quarterback Snuffy Smith, who did a fine job of field-marshalling the Wildcats, called Luppino's number. The Cactus Comet swept around right end to score and then kicked the point. Early in the second period Arizona marched to the 13 after recovering a Ram fumble.

But once again the Cats were stalled and the ball went to Luppino. On sheer speed Luppino drove around right end for the score and Arizona was in front 13-0. Arizona made it 20-0 midway through the third quarter when pub Quarterback Marty Lang connected to Pete Arrigonl, who was also a defensive standout, for a 40-yard touchdown play. Luppino, who was a workhorse with 27 carries for 13S yards and 5.1 average gain, shook loose on an 83-yeard touchdown run in the third period, but a personal foul was called on Arizona and the brilliant run was called back. This was the fifth meeting between Arizona and Colorado A.

and the fourth win for the Cats (one game ended in a tie). But lak night's game saw the Rams score their first touch-flown against an Arizona team. At that it took a freak play in the fourth period for the Rams to With fourth down on the 28, Quarterback Jerry Callahan pitched out to Jerry Zaleski.

Schaaf began looking far O'Barr when he did not return from his rounds. The apparently accidental death was the third one at San Manuel in the past three months.

William H. Marum, 43, of Tucson, died after falling into a mine shaft last July. T.wo weeks ago, John F. Goodwin, 30, was fatally injured after falling from a water tower at the mining center. Edward Barrins, chief of security at San Manuel, said O'Barr apparently lost his footing while checking the ore concentrator building about 3:30 a.m.

O'Barr, the father of two children, had been employed by the Utah Construction Co. since shortly after his arrival in Tucson two years ago.

He and his family moved to San Manuel last year. "O'Barr was respected and admired. He was conscientious and he did his job well," Barrins stated. An inquest into the death will be held at 2 p.m. Thursday by Coroner Louis Berwin, Pinal County Deputy Sheriff Chuck Newsome said last night.

And the Rams might have done more damage in the scoring department, but for the alertness of Arrigoni on defense, and an opening march that failed.

"The remarkable transformation indicates that the division between Martian (orange-red) desert and dark areas is not necessarily fixed" or permanent; one may change to the other at any time. It helps support the conclusion that Mars is not a dead world, that the darkening is due to the growth of plant life. "Biologists suggest that this life may be akin to lichens that grow-on earth's barren rocks and mountaintops." To learn more about this, the society said, such plant may soon be grown in a laboratory under the physical and chemical conditions thought to exist on Mars.

Peron's Leader Gen. Franklin Lucero, Argentina's Army minister, heads the loyal Army, 'Air Force, Navy and Federal Police in ihe fight against the newest rebellion in that nation. (AP Wirephoto) Argentina Asks Who Is Loyal Have Navy, Air Arm Joined The Rebels? By ASSOCIATED PRESS The fateful question in Buenos Aires Saturday night was whether the Navy and its air arm are rebels or loyal to President Peron. A reporter in the Argentine capital said in mid-evening it was impossible to answer the question. It may be that parts of the Navy and its air force will turn up on either side.

The Army itself is split between Peron and the rebel commands. By tradition and recent evidence, the Navy generally is against the government. Both sides claim the ocean fleet. It was on maneuvers in the South Atlantic when the revolt against Peron erupted Frida'. The rebel command claims it is steaming toward the River Plate to bombard Buenos Aires.

A dozen craft of the river fleet lay off Uruguay Saturday, waiting, an informant in Montevideo said, to join the incoming ocean fleet for the attack. The destroyers Cervantes and Rioja were attacked Friday morning near Buenos Aires by Peron planes and fired back. They steamed across the 125 miles to Montevideo with five dead and 32 wounded. The Cervantes docked and was interned; the Rioja gave its dead and wounded to a tug for landing and steamed away, presumably to join the ocean fleet. The principal ships of the Ar- 'gentine Navy include two old battleships, the Moreno and Riva-davfa, displacing 27,720 tons each.

Both have a main battery of 12 12-inch guns and were completed during World War I. The force also boasts five cruisers, including the former U.S. cruisers Boise and Phoenix. These two vessels were purchased from the United States in 1951 and renamed the Ninth of July and Seventeenth of October dates prominent in Argentine history. The other cruisers include the training ship La Argentina and two warships, the Al-mirante Brown and the Twenty-Fifth of May.

In addition, the Navy has 15 destroyers, nine frigates, three submarines, one coast defense ship and miscellaneous smaller vessels. The active personnel of the ser-ice comprises about 500 officers and 20,000 men. Up' Khrushchev Vast Vegetation7 Area Discovered On Mars Kremlin trying to bring KhrushrheV back to his table.

The announcement said the discovery of this 200.000-square-mile area, almost the size of Texas, "has produced the greatest change in Martian geography since the planet was first mapped 125 years ago." The discovery was credited to Dr. E. C. Slipher, leader of the 1954 National Geographic-Lowell Observatory expedition which photographed Mars from South Africa. Slipher alone made more than 20,000 photographs.
