NO. 301 AP Ltoicd 5c KAIUS, TEXAS, WEONIBOAY AFTERNOON, JUNE 24, 1959 EIGHT PAGES ESTABLISHED 1869 Anti-Peron Hero Asks Frondizi To Resign Post Government Shoots Back That President Will Not Back Down BUENOS AIRES, Argent i a Adm Isaac Rojas, a hero of the revolt that toppled Juan Peron, issued a defiant call early today for the resignation of President Arturo Frondizi. The government shot back that Frondizi will not quit.

Rojas sounded 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 staunches! defender in the week-old crisis, retorted that the government would meet the threat of revolt with all its power. The sudden development dearly drew the lines between the government and rebellious factions in the armed forces. Rojas' denunciation was the boldest open defiance td 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. It appeared extremely doubtful Frondizi would be able to work cut a compromise with the militant rebels. The only ques i 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 a 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.

Frondizi's entire cabinet" resigned Monday under pressure from the military, who demanded sweeping changes in the regime. Alsogaray accepted conditionally but reportedly insisted he must have complete control of the nation's economy.

Movie Scenes Are Shot Here Paris got in the picture literally yesterday as the MGM movie company set up some shots for the movie. "Home From the Hill" on East Kaufman Street.

"He demonstrated forcefully that he deserves his spurs," Dirksen said. Sen.

Mike Mansfield of tana, assistant Democratic Mon- leader, said the statements of Johnson and Dirksen "once again indicated to the world that Congress, regardless of party, is behind Secretary Herter." Sen. George D. Aiken (R-VT), a member of the Senate Foreign Relations Committee, said Congress will back Herter to the hilt when negotiations are resumed at Geneva. Herter's stand drew similar expressions of support from House members. U.

S. diplomats hoped the evidence of solid congressional backing in both parties would help impress in Communist minds the need for a change in Moscow's policy if there is ever to be a peaceful solution to the German crisis.

The negotiations recessed last Saturday until July 13. In a 15-minute radio-TV speech, the American foreign affairs chief called on the Soviets to abandon their drive "to add more than two million free West Berliners to the captive peoples of Eastern Europe." "This is the critical question," he said.

"If the Soviets do not hold to this annexationisl design, we should be able to reach agreements on Berlin consistent with the honor and interest of all our countries."

Mcnton Murray, Harlingen, head of the special group that tackled an overall compromise tax proposal at Carr's direction. The group met until late last night and again this morning in Carr's office. "If we can pass the bill out of the House by Friday and get i over to the Senate by Monday that is about the best we can hope for," Murray said. "That gives the Senate two weeks and that should be enough." Gov. Price Daniel warned legislators of the possibility of a third session last Friday after both houses quit for a long weekend.

"We'll have a tax bill out about Thursday," Rep. V. L. Ramsey, head of the House Tax Committee, said yesterday. His group worked late into the night hearing arguments "for and 11 general tax pro o- (HB10-18).
