powerful liberal coalition is expected to force the new regime of Gen Eduardo Lonardi to quit or rid itself of reactionary elements Outwardly Buenos Aires is quiet There are no troop movements (9:15 pm EST) and there has been no sign of force The pressure to overthrow the government is expected after adjournment of a meeting now in progress of the National Consultative Committee The group representing all sections of public opinion probably will call on General Lonardi and advise him to oust the reactionaries in his government If he refuses to do this or does not want to the group will seek resignation If the provisional president resigns a triumvirate of three military men is expected to assume control The unrest in Argentina was first publicly noted earlier tonight when provisional Vice President Admiral Isaac Rojas received a report of a rebellion at the De Mayo Army Garrison outside Buenos Aires One unconfirmed report said the cabinet already has resigned en masse

heart attack And he made plans to open an office next week in downtown Gettysburg Pa near his farm He went out onto the green on the south lawn of the mansion shortly after aides reported him on this first full day back at the White House SETS IN SUN The aides said he putted only a couple of times then sat in a chair in the yard for more than an hour soaking up the warm autumn sun He had basked in the sun almost daily for the last three weeks or so on the eighth floor terrace of Fitzsimons Army Hospital in Denver But so far as is known today was the first time he had a golf club in his hands since Sept 23 Convalescing Ike Still Must Face Strain of Job Page 10-C Ike Likes to Stir Up Stew For 60 Persons Page 10-C Picture on Page 14-A the day before his attack He played 27 holes in Denver

PICTURES TAKEN Long-range photographs taken during the afternoon showed the President with a club cocked over his right shoulder But presidential associates said the President apparently was just getting the of the club that he actually hit no long or middle-range shots Press secretary James Hager-ty announced today that the President and Mrs Eisenhower will drive on Monday to their country home on the edge of Gettysburg where there will be a quiet observance of the First 59th birthday Eisenhower who checked out of a Denver hospital yesterday after seven weeks of convalescence from a

Officials declared that if these questions are answered in the affirmative there is a good chance that present taxes would yield an appreciable revenue surplus in the 1957 fiscal year" beginning next July 1 In line with administration policy they said this would justify the President in asking that the anticipated surplus be returned to taxpayers in the form of a tax cut ONE-TO-THREE BILLION However they said speculation about a possible four billion dollar tax cut is rather high They thought that if Mr Eisenhower proposes a cut at all it probably would be for between one and three billion dollars depending on the overall picture Meanwhile Democratic leaders in Congress are reported to be leaning to an increase in the $600 exemption for each taxpayer spouse and dependent instead of their former proposal of a straight $20 tax cut for each This raises the prospect that the Democrats will wage a drive to force the administration to accept a boost in the exemption to $700 or higher A $100 increase in the exemption would cost an estimated $2500000000 in yearly revenue The Democrats are not entirely in agreement on tax-cutting Chairman Harry Byrd (D-Va) of the powerful Senate Finance Committee has opposed any reductions so long as the budget remains unbalanced Administration officials said a much clearer picture of what the government can afford will be presented by the time the President submits his budget message and economic report to Congress in January They indicated that Mr Eisenhower may give some inkling of his stand in these documents However they said there is no likelihood that the President will propose a tax cut out of borrowed Continued on Page 2 Col 1 Mild Weather To Linger For Another Day (Weather Details Page 16-B The mild weather here is

snarling furry animal bigger than a dog aroused a family from sleep in Biddle Heights late Friday night raising speculation that a bear might have wandered to Knoxville from the Great Smoky Mountains

One of the most publicized brief cases has fallen into the hands of a thief its owner Atty Bob McClure reported yesterday Millions of television viewers for days during the McCarthy hearings saw Atty Ray Jenkins pull bulky documents from this battered brown case which according to his assistant at the time Atty Charles Maner rarely left his side The brief case started its illustrious career several years ago when it was given to McClure when he became partner When Jenkins went to Washington taking Maner along with him he borrowed the brief case which became as a familiar part of the towering Knoxville attorney on Capitol Hill as his red suspenders country wit and now nationally famous oratory Upon returning from the Washington limelight the brief case retired to comparative obscurity in the corner of office until a young law clerk Bobby Willson asked if he could borrow it Willson McClure said left it in his car parked in front of the Parkmore Restaurant at 1716 East Magnolia Avenue while he was in the eating establishment It was then that the brief case disappeared 4 Obituaries Fred Bod Repaia Odes Rebinette Mrs Zennie Lewis Mrs Tennie Bailey Shepherd Mrs Sara
