1 NEWPORT DAILY NEWS, WEDNESDAY, JUNg Navy Men Sealed Up Six Days To Test New Oxygen Equipment PHILADELPHIA (AP) Man may know how to breathe better in outer space on Friday this day a group of Navy men will emerge from a make- believe space ship which has been their home for the last six days. The six "guinea pigs" were sealed inside the space ship to test the latest in oxygen breathing gear for flight's beyond the earth's atmosphere. Thi. new breathing equipment is described as lighter, more compact, more efficient, and cheaper to run than oxygen systems now of its high rate of in use. Because evaporation, liquid oxygen can't be used effectively for long dura- flights.

The new device uses solid chemical granule which, when it comes in contact with carbon dioxide, releases oxygen 'and soaks up the carbon dioxide and some oi the moisture in the air. Capt. Roland A. Bosee. director of the air crew equipment laboratory at the Philadelphia Navy base, explained the new method I this way: I "When we exhale our breath contains some unused carbon dioxide and moisture.

In I a closed space the buildup of I carbon dioxide could be ous. As the air in the chamber is pumped through the new us it removes the carbon dioxide, releases new oxygen and some moisture into the air and absorbs excess moisture. "In this manner, with considerably less weighty equipment than used before, man could survive for extended periods, independent of the earth's atmosphere." The men are: Robert F. Mullet, 64 Turner Pittsfield, Nicholas H. Noche, Newark, N.

Argentine Revolt Hero Demands Frondizi Quit AIRES, Argentina (AP)--Rear Adm.

Isaac Rojas, a hero of the revolt that toppled Juan Perm, issued a defiant call early today lor the resignation of President Arturo Frondizi. The government shot back that Frondizi will not quit. Rojas founded a virtual call to arms to the country's increasingly rebellious armed forces. Branding the 14-month-old Frondizi administration "tarnished and illegitimate," Rojas warned the president he faces a military ouster if he fails to heed the ultimatum to resign. Interior Minister Alfredo Vitolo, the president's staunchest er in the week-old crisis, retorted that the government would meet the threat of revolt with all its power.

The sudden development clearly drew the lines between the government and rebellious factions in the armed forces. Rojas' denunciation was the boldest open defiance to Frondizi's harried regime. Vitolo's sharp answer made it clear that Frondizi is determined to cling to the presidency even if it means a showdown with the armed forces Louts Armstrong Louis Armstrong Greatly Improved SPOLETO, Italy (AP) Louis Armstrong, his silvery trumpet silenced by a pneumonia attack, was reported much improved today after resting well through the It appeared extremely doubtful night.

The only question seemed to be whether the military leaders have enough strength to force the president out.

Rojas' ultimatum was delivered to a late news conference after i hectic day of conferences between Frondizi and political leaders. The president sought to piece together a new cabinet in hopes of appeasing the military men who have accused him of ineffective economic policies and of coddling the Communists and Pe- ronists who helped elect him.

"We may well be on the threshold to the solution of providing medical care for the aged if all the interested organizations make a sincere aUempt to work it out," said Forand.

The Rhode Islander has encountered stiff opposition to his plan, not only from medical circles, but also from the administration and pven members of the Ways and Means Committee. It would cost around $1,000,000.000 the first year and would be financed by increasing employer employe contributions to the Social Security tax fund. Forand has indicated a willingness to compromise to make the medical care program "acceptable to all," provided it retains the necessary coverage to meet the of elderly persons. 78 93 58 .02 .77 .28 MUCNCHINGER.KING MMT 1 tarn fMtf hi Nmywt fM IMM Mm TBUPNOM VI 7-1700 days, Thursday through Monday, will average near the seasonal normal.

William Proxmire (D-Wis) asked the Senate today to abolish the jobs of five of President Eisenhower's White House aides. Proxmire contended the five aides are assigned only to lobbying in Congress for the administration. "This," the senator said in a speech prepared for the Senate, 'is morally indefensible. It is also clearly illegal." Proxmire proposed an ment to cut $84,281 from a $13,568,500 bill to finance the White House and related agencies, and to bar use of any of the money to pay salaries of the five aides. While his amendment does not name the five he wants fired, Proxmire told a reporter its language aims clearly at Homer Gruenther, Earle D.

Chesny, Jack Z. Anderson, Edward A McCabe and Clyde A. Wheeler, as the ones to go. Departure of the five aides Proxmire said, still would leave the President two men spending all or most of their time on work with Congress. He said Eisenhower now has "six full time envoys to Capitol Hill plus Gen.
