Embassy Closures
Follow Peron Feud
BUENOS AIRES in Argentina
and Venezuela closed their embas
sies in each other's capitals today
in a feud over ousted dictator
Juan D. I'eron's activities in Ven
ezuela. Increasingly bitter exchanges
built up over a week to the open
break in relations between the two
countries, located at opposite ends
of the South American continent.
The Argentine ambassador to
Caracas said on his way home
that the Venezuelan government
had begun- a mass roundup of Ar
gentines in Caracas opposed to
I'cron.
Argentina charged Venezuela
was permitting Peron to master
mind a campaign of subversion
and terror against Provisional
President Pedro Aramburu's gov
ernment from his exile in Cara
cas. Aramburu charged Peron
and his followers have "woven a
tremendous intrigue around Vene
zuelan authorities.
Venezuela alleged Argentine
agents had plqtted to kill political
refugees in that country. Foreign
Minister Jose Loreto Ansmendi
later asserted the rupture was
provoked by the Argentine am
bassador in Caracas, Gen. Carlos
Toranzo Montero, because he had
been refused an audience with
Venezuelan President Marcos
Perez Jimenez.

Doom CJ 'Dam'
Bill Predicted
WASHINGTON in One spon
sor concedes that only a "mira
cle" will save Hells Canyon Dam
legislation from burial Wednesday
in a House Interior Committee
pigeonhole.
Republican opponents are con
fident they will be able, with
some lielp from Democrats, 10
kill bills which would authorize a
high federal dam in the Snake
River bordering Idaho and Ore
gon. Rep. Gracie Pfost (D-Idaho),
sponsor of one Hells Canyon bill,
told a newsmen she guessed a
"miracle" would be necessary to
revive chances for the half-billion
dollar project, which would flood
sites of three Idaho Power Co.
dams.
Rep. Miller (Neb), ranking Re
republican on the committee, ex
pressed confidence that opponents
could muster more than enough
strength to table all Hells Canyon
bills, including one which was
passed by the Senate last month.
Enacting Clause Out
The several pending Hells Can
yon measures appeared doomef
iast week when a subcommittee
struck the enacting clause from
the Pfost bill and reported it to
the parent Interior Committee.
The vote was 15-12.
Declaring "we've got it
whipped," Miller told a newsman
later the Republicans would pick
up one or two additional votes in
the full committees. The subcom
mittee has 29 members; the full
committee, 31.
Mrs. Pfost apparently wis bas
ing her hopes for a "miracle" on
the possibility of vote switching
when the committee acts Wednes
day. Two Southern Democrats-
Heps. Shuford (NO and Ha ev
