the strike date Tuesday night, on
ly hours after union officials said
their membership had voted over
whelming approval of the walkout
in a mail ballot.
He said the men voted to strike

lines running west from Green

In Argentina
BUENOS AIRES, Argentina OB
Provisional President Aramburu's

a plot aimed at stirring up public
unrest had been smashed with the
arrest of 18 persons in Mendoza.
The announcement said five re
tired military men and 13 civilians
were arrested in the west Argen
tine city at the foot of the Andes
Mountains. No details were given.
There have been persistent rumb
lings of trouble in .Mendoza since
the overthrow of Juan D. Peron's
I dictatorship in September.
it was the second time within
I'lata, a city formerly named Eva
Peron 35 miles southeast of Bue

The communique said 24 per
sons including a retired colonel
and a noncommissioned officer, all
former supporters of Peron, had
been arrested.
There was no official indication

plot in La Plata. Two weeks ago

doza seized temporary control of
the provincial police headquarters,
reporting the police still had "some
characteristics" of the Peron re
gime. There has been no solid indica
tion, however, of any serious chal
lenge to the government.
