Bomb Explodes
At Peronista
Political School
Windows Shattered
In Buenos Aires but
No One Injured
BUKNOS AIRES, Argentina Irfu
A bomb exploded early Thursday
in front of a Peronista political
school in downtown Buenos Aires,
shattering windows in the vicinity
and damaging a nearby automo
bile 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 po
litical practices of President Jun
Peron's dominant Peronista Party.
The post-midnight 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 revolt
by navy and marine fliers.
Two government communiques
broadcast Wednesday night by the
nationwide government radio not
work denounced rumor mongers
and asserted "the nation is tran
quil." Until the bomb blast, generally
normal conditions had prevailed on
the streets of Buenos Aires. The
only unusual activity was the post
ing of extra guards at federal
police headquarters and ft few
other strategic points for a few
hours before dawn yesterday.

Seawolf Races Down
Ways as Work on 3rd
Such Ship Started -
GROTOW Conn. ifl The Na
vy's second atomic submarine
the long, lean deadly killer named
Seawolf went down the ways to:
the sea ihursday.
Mrs. Sterling Cole, wife of a
New York congressman, chris
tened the ship, but missed hitting
the bow with the traditional bot
tle of champagne.
Mrs. Cole turned for an instant
to speak to John Jay Hopkins,
president and chairman of Gen
eral Dynamics Co., as he pressed
a button releasing the great steel
hull.
In that instant, the Seawolf flip
ped swiftly out of reach of Mrs.
Cole's arm. She hurled the bottle
at the receding bow, but it
missed again and broke in foam
on a portion of the launching ma
chinery. But the Navy, always ready for
such untoward happenings, had
a second bottle of champagne, at
tached to a line, on the deck.
As the Seawolf raced down the
ways, a man aboard the submarine
cracked a second bottle on the bow.
And so the Seawolf got her chris
tening, after all.
Three hours earleri, the keel cf
a third atomic submarine, as yet
unnamed, was laid in a ceremony
attended by a relatively few offi
cials. The fact was unknown to most
of the audience of 25.000 attending
the launching. Their first word
came when Navy Secretary Thom
as interpolated into his prepared
speech the brief remark that "the
keel' of a third (submarine) was
laid at an earlier hour this morn
ing on an adjacent way, without
pomp or ceremony."

But in postwar negotiations over
the last 10 years, Soviet delegates
