X' Revolution Within Revolution Argentina Still In Grip Of Political Turbulence BUENOS AIRES Through rain wash cd streets a blue sedan crawled in and out of midmorning traffic winding its way down to the waterfront At the wheel sat the ambassador of Paraguay Beside him slumped a dejected man who for a decade had held in his slender hands the destiny of all Argentina Juan Domingo Pcron was riding out to board a Paraguayan gunboat into exile Behind him were the ruins of an empire he had forgcl as a dictator unsurpassed in Latin America TODAY PERON DREAMS from afar of a triumphant return He boasts that he will ride back to power in a civil war which might cost a million lives It was just a year ago tomorrow when a band of revolutionaries rose up in the pre dawn darkness to ignite a rebellion that shattered in five days what Pcron had built in 10 years What has happened to Argentina since then? Argentina today is engulfed in another crisis a revolution within a revolution The outcome will affect the nation and per haps the entire Western Hemisphere The current tug of war is baffling the lines of battle not clearly drawn as a year ago when Pcron was toppled Maj Gen Pedro Aramburu co chieftain of the revolt which overthrew Peron is provisional president of Argentina com manding a military government with the announced goal of purging the nation of Pcronista corruption and preparing for the elections scheduled for late 1957 The ex act date has not been set But the army is gravely divided and a strange wedding of embittered revolutiona ries and Peronista sympathizers has formed a formidable opposition to the Aramburu Rojas team THE TROLBLE started with four words uttered by the late Gen Eduardo Ionardi an ailing but valiant soldier who rose from a sick bed to lead the uprising last Sep tember against Peron Lonardi who succeeded Peron as presi dent proclaimed in his inaugural address that his creed was victors nor vanquished" Lonardi was ousted seven weeks after bis inauguration and died in a hospital bed four months later bitter and broken What had happened? Amid the thunder of revolutionary re joicing some men were dismayed by Lon creed Did Lonardi mean they ask ed that the Peronistas who had ruled Ar gentina with an iron fist for a decade could 'now escape punishment for their sins? Would the Lonardi regime cut off the visible roots of Peron and his few top henchmen only to leave untouched the roots of Peronista evil? This was precisely what some feared and began to was the soul of slogan They watched the gov ernment flounder as the same labor lead ers who worshipped Peron shattered the revolutionary honeymoon with a wave of worker unrest They saw the famed news paper La Prensa seized by Peron in one of the darkest episodes of journalistic his tory still languish in Pcronista hands de spite the uproars around the world for its immediate return to tho founding Paz family OES REBELLED and overthrew him in a place coup without a shot being fired Square jawed Gen Aramburu strode into bizarre pink government house" and took over the presidency His followers defended their coup with the charge that Lonardi while a fine man himself had let his gov ernment fall under the sway of extreme rightwing totalitarian influence that was BUENOS AIRES WAS A BATTLEIELD DURING REVOLUTION Anti Pcron Rebels Overcame Government In Street Battles rA nW? Xl tss BEEN THINKIN' Students Provide Lesson in Harmony BY WAIGHTS HENRY JR The shines we read about the crisis in volving the Suez Canal Jewish and Arab tensions and the strained relations in Ger many keep us wondering why people seem ingly refuse Io try to understand one an other The reason becomes evident when we watch college age youngsters from dif ferent races and nations together on a col lege campus for the first time On the campus at LaGrange this year we have many students from the Southern region of the United States and some from the outside Among those from abroad are boys and girls from Greece Sweden rance Hong Kong Korea Venezuela and Argentina All of them are of high attention with all others pitching 1n to see that they learn to understand and to express themselves with perspicacity The scandal of international relations is covetousness greed and unfair competi tion The secret of harmony on a college campus is mutual concern competition that benefits all and a spirit of friendli ness dial leaps all artificial barriers If the quality of mutual helpfulness and love which is evident in relations between stu dents could carry over into adult world re lations we

Gainza Paz the exiled director The new regime smashed the vast propaganda machinery which Juan and Eva Pcron fashioned to proclaim themselves the nation's and Aramburu also ordered hundreds of die hard Peronistas purged from strategic posts in labor unions in the military and in political and economic fields He called in experts in an effort to restore some order to the crucial economic state of Ar gentina Aramburu 56 is a career soldier who has tried to restore Argentina to a place of honor in the family of American na tions He has cut the cords of rampant na tionalism which Peron fostered in a vain effort to win away from the United Stales the role of leader in the western hemis phere Aramburu ratified the Caracas declaration against communism which Pe ron flouted while plugging for a vague position" policy between East and West ON THE IIOMEI Aramburu work cd to restore confidence to the nation's cattlemen and farmers These men had raised Argentina to greatness with their crops only to tumble at the hands of a dictator who fancied he could drive Ar gentina to industrial grandeur on the shoulders of shoddy politics But through all his accomplishments are scattered seeds of discontent Some sectors are disgusted and in despair anatic pc ronistas never sleep and practice continual sabotage They staged the brief but vio lent revolt that was crushed last June The leading Opponents of the govern ment are three army generals who wor shipped Lonardi and claim they still hold power over bis faithful They are Gens Leon Justo Bengoa Juan Jose Uranga and Eduardo Senoran Bengoa a wirey little soldier appears the spiritual leader of the opposition He came in on the revolution against Peron and wound up as minister of the army under Lonardi But after Aramburu took over Bengoa wrote a letter which accus ed Aramubru and his forces of for political reasons" and bitterly attack ed the president for jailing Peronista la bor leaders He charged Aramburu had let the Navy long kept in the shadows by Army dominance grab a foolhold of prominence in Argentina BENGOA WAS ARRESTED and hustled off to virtual exile in a hamlet in south ern Argentina for six months of discipli nary arrest Uranga then accused the Aramburu forc es of for ousting Lonardi and vowed revenge His home was surrounded and he was hauled off to jail Gen Sonorans delivering the funeral oration over casket denounced the Aramburu charges that Lonardi had fallen under totalitarian influence Sono rans also went to jail but was later re leased On this first anniversary of Heron's fall Aramburu and his followers also face a split in the Army which holds the bal ance of power in most Latin American nations Many especially the idealistic younger officers stand shoulder to shoul der with Aramburu and the Navy But many others probably best described as the "old are sympathetic with Bengoa incensed at the sudden influence and willing to court the Peronis ta voters On the economic front
