Rumors Rampant In Buenos Aires BUENOS AIRES Wl A bomb exploded, early Thurs day in front of a Peronista political school in downtown Buenos Aires, shattering win dows in the vicinity and dam aging a nearby automobile slightly. There was no immediate report of any persons injured. Police put a cordon around the area of the school, which gives courses in the principles and political practices of President Juan Peron's dominant Peronista party. The postmidnight blast caused widespread alarm. It came after a day and night of all sorts of rumors sparked by the announce ment Wednesday that the Argen tine fleet had sailed on its first maneuvers since the June 16 re volt by navy and Marine Corps fliers. Two government communiques broadcast Wednesday s night by the nation-wide government radio network denounced rumor mon gers and asserted, "The nation is tranquil." Until the bomb blast, generally normal conditions had prevailed on the streets of Buenos Aires. The only unusual activity was the posting of extra guards at federal police headquarters and a few other strategic points for a few hours before dawn Wednesday. Announcement that the fleet had to put to sea immediately re called reports just after the June 16 revolt that dissident naval units had fled aboard two of the navy's largest ships. These re ports later proved untrue. The government said recently that the navy is completely loyal, fol lowing a reshuffling of the top naval command and the arrest of three admirals charged with mas terminding the revolt. Naval authorities said the ma neuvers had been planned for two months, long before the re volt. Such exercises are custom ary at this time of year. Humors circulated in Rio de Janeiro Wednesday that Presi dent Peron had resigned and that a bomb had been found in the Argentine War Ministry. A check with Buenos Aires disclosed no substantiation. Armed Bandit Gets 18 Years Alfred Peterson, Salem, who has served slightly more than half his 46 years behind bars, was sentenced to 18 years in the peni tentiary Thursday after pleading guilty in Lane County Circuit Court to armed robbery. Peterson is one of three Polk County jail escapees charged with robbing a Lane County family which was held at gunpoint for five hours July 2. The other two, Burton LcRoy Bryson, 20, of Junction City, and Raymond Lowe, 22, Everett, Wash., are awaiting action by the grand jury. The three were accused of tak ing binoculars, blankets and a car owned by the Edward Ziniker family on Crow Rood about seven miles southwest of Eugene. Peterson was sentenced Thurs day by Circuit Judge Frank B Rcid. The defendant was sen tenced to 40 years in the pcnilen tiary in 1931 on a third forgery conviction. He was paroled in August, 1954. According to slate police, rotor son and the other two had been jailed at Dallas oil separate charges. They escaped after re ceiving several hacksaw blades from an accomplice outside the jail, police sa'ijl.

Each of tho two major powers then would inspect by air the es tablishments of the other, th President told the Big Four con ference. His proposal was hailed by Premier Faure of France and Prime Minister Eden of Britain, Soviet Premier Bulganin said, "We have all been deeply moved by the very sincere declaration," a French spokesman who was present reported later. The President did not say spe cifically whether his proposal in eluded atomic installations, but he did not rule them out. The presi dential press secretary, James C. ' Hagerty, said details would be worked out. The President's dramatic move was made at the fifth session of the summit conference. He said Russia and the United! States by this step would "con vince the world that we are pro viding between ourselves against. the possibility of a surprise at-. tack." This, he said, would lessen dan ger and help relax world tension. Trcmier Faure remarked he wished all the people of the world could have been in the chamber to hear Elsenhower, If that were possible, Faure added, maybe they would realize that on July 21, 1955 Thursday something changed in the world and the first victory over skepticism was scored at the conference. Hagerty reported that Eden made some disarmament Inspec tion proposals on Britain's behalf and Faure talked about budgetary controls over disarmament. These developments came as the Big Four turned to the issue of disarmament and postponed until Friday a foreign ministers' report on their study of European security and German unification. The foreign ministers were re ported in substantial agreement on arrangements to resume tho talks on Germany at a Big Four foreign ministers' meeting in October. In discussing disarmament, one of the major topics on the confer ence ag nda, the President said he would like to address his re marks particularly to the Sovfct delegation. Ho added he wanted to do that because both the IKE PROPOSES (Continued on Page 2A) Union Leaders Agree on Name WASHINGTON Wi The last major obstacle to merger of the lr u anu uie viu was tnisncu Wednesday night when officials of the two big labor groups agreed on a name for the com bined federation. Short of using the name AFL as that group urged or CIO, the officials settled on the simplest, if somewhat unwieldy, compro mise. Their choice: "Tho Amerioan Federation of Labor and Congress of Industrial Organizations" the full names of the existing groups. Presidents George Meany of (he AFL and Walter Rcuther of the CIO said only procedural de-' tails now remain to be worked out before formal merger actions to be taken at conventions in New" York in December. , 30 CALLS!
