GATELY Vnlted Press Staff Correspondent MORE HEAD CITY, N. C. (UP) Hurricane lone, a rampaging tem pest with winds up to 120 miles an hour, rammed the Eastern Seabourd today and bored north toward Norfolk and New York. Just before it swept up the coast near this vacation resort, the awvsome howler tore the Diamond Shoals lightship from her moor ings off lonely Cape Hatteras, en dangering her crew of 15 men. They were ordered to "hold your position" at all costs. A private weather expert warn ed that the New Jersey, New York City and Long Island area was in for "a rough and stormy night", , No deaths or injuries were re ported in the first hours of lone'.-) assault on the seaboard, which already had absorbed the fury of two hurricanes this year. But failure of communications facili ties made accurate checks impos sible. Ship Ik Small The light ship measures only 128, feet. That's like a canoe out there today," the Coast Guard spokes! man said.

Mexico Also Hit The huge Navy and comrherefal shipping center of Norfolk lay only 140 miles to the north-northwest, the direction in which the storm was plowing. The Weather Bureau noted, how ever, that lone had taken on on "erratic" movement which could alter the course during the day. As that hurricane, ninth tropi cal storm of the year, raked the Eastern Seaboard; its sister, Hilda hit the Mexican coast near Tarn- pico today with full force after a journey across the Caribbean Sea. Winds hit Tampico, on oil re fining and port city 150 miles south of the Texas border, with a force of up to 120 miles an hour. At least one nearby town was re ported leveled. A major disaster appeared In the making. First reports from Morehead City indicated only light damage here from the wind. Police snid there was "some roof damage" but nothing extensive. Floods, how ever, were the big source of wor ry. The rising water and not the wind was the thing that crippled New England in recent weeks when hurricane Diane went by.

C i Dictator Ends ! 9-Year Rule In Argentina MONTEVIDEO, Uruguay (UP) Juan D. PVrun s nine-year person al rule of Argentina has ended. His government announced to day that he would resign. Ho took that action under the guns of a Rebel fleet which stood In battle array off Buenos Aires, threaten ing to bombard the city unless Peron resigned. The Rebel radio at Cordoba said Peron had sought political asylum in the Paraguayan Embassy In Buenos Aires. OfNcluI Broadcast The news that Peron had de cided to give up In the fourth day of the Argentine Civil War was broadcast over the official Argen tine radio in Buenos Aires. Gen. Franklin Lucero, minister of war, In announcing Peron's decision to resign, said: "His spirit of battle prompts him to fight, but his patriotism and love of the people induce him to renounce all personal ambition." Actually, Peron and Lucero had no choice. Buenos Aires was In dire danger and the revolt had spread rapidly through the prov inces. Lucero played his last card at about the time a Rebel ultimatum was due to expire. The ultimatum stipulated that the fleet would shell Buenos Aires unless Peron quit. Lucero offered to negotiate a cease tire, and Invited the Rebel leaders to go into Buenos Aires and confer In his office. The Rebel announced they would not start any parley until Peron re signed unconditionally. But they did offer to send a ship into Buenos Aires, take Lucero aboard and talk with him aboard a war ship In the estup.y of the Plallo River. The offer to negotiate a censo fire was made in Lucero's name and was broadcast by the official radio In Buenos Aires. The broad cast snld: 'To Avoid Bloodshed" ' 'Gen. Franklin Lucero, com mander In chief of the Force ol Repression, in the name of tha republic and commander In chief of the armed forces (Peron) in view of the ultimntum to bomb the city of Buenos Aires and pe troleum refineries at Eva Peron and to avoid further bloodshed, in vites the commanders In actipn to appear nt the office of the high command in the Ministry of the Army to begin Immediate negotia tions to settle the conflict. He also invites the said commanders to cease hostilities Immediately at their present positions." Lucero's request to the Rebels for a cense fire was made nimost at the moment that the insurgent ultimatum expired. A radio broadcast, believed to be from the Rebel fleet, had an nounced that Buenos Aires would be brouuht under fire at 1 p.m. unless Peron resigned. The broadcast said the cruiser 9 de Julio, formerly the U.S.S. Boise, already had begun shelling the naval artillery school at Mar del Plata. Clvllnns Warned The announcement repent -?d previous warnings to tha civilian population to leave areas around military objectives. It cited specifically the installa tions of Ihe state oil monopoly nt Eva Peron (Iji Plata) and the Rio Santiago Naval School, which It said would be shelled.
