ArgentineNavyHlen Said Insisting on Removal of Peron . Editor'! Not: Lnitd Prs-Movie-tone Cameraman Al Waldron has cum oui of Buenos Aire with the first uncensored account of conditions InMd Argentina since the revolution. Hf reports that while Juan I. Peron Mill is president, he may not have won the revolution after a 11. J By AL WALDRON Montevideo, Uruguay iU.R) Argentine navy leaders - aboard battleships and cruisers in the River Plate off Buenos Aires to day were reported insisting on the complete elimination of Pres ident Juan D. Peron from the Argentine government. A three-man military council was reported negotiating with the navy men when I left Buenos Aires at 3:30 p.m. Wednesday. " The army men, according to widespread reports, are exercis ing the inside power in the gov ernment and want to keep Peron in and work out a change gradually. Here, I believe, is the first -uncensored account of condi tions inside Argentina to come out since last week's revolution. The news of Peron's excom munication by the Roman Cath olic Church has not been printed in Buenos Aires nor has it been broadcast over the Argentine radio. ... However, many have heard it on the broadcasts from Uruguay and the church has been seeing that it was well circulated by word of mouth. Admiral Blamed For Revolt Chief blame for the revolution may be placed on Vice Admiral Benjamin Gargiulo. Gargiulo shot himself at the Ministry of Navy building last Thursday aft ernoon when the army won out. One of the first steps of the new look in government was to cut out all the big photographs of a smiling Peron doing this or that on almost every page of the official press. The official radio stopped talking about "Eva Pe ron passing into immortality" at 8:25 p.m. as it has done night-, ly since her death at that hour three years ago. When the foreign correspond: ents noticed the omission they sent long stories about it through the Argentine censor ship. The next day one small picture of Peron was ordered printed in each official paper and the reference to Evita's im mortality wag put back on the air. That was thought by some to be an indication of the army's desire to keep surface indica tions unchanged. There were reports that the revolt had three civilian leaders. One of them was said to be former Radical ' Deputy Miguel Angel Zavala Ortiz, who flew in a navy plane to Uruguay and later acted as spokesman for the navy - fliers in ' 'Montevideo. Another was reported to be Americo Childi, well-known Ar gentine Socialist leader who is a refugee in Uruguay and has been for some time. The third, it was said, would be some poli tical figure from the Conserva tive Party. Return To Normal Outwardly in Buenos Aires, things are returning to normal. On Wednesday morning, troops were sent back to their barracks. Trolley buses were running behind the government house and some offices in the govern ment house itself had been opened for business. But there won't be complete tranquility about the location and intentions of the Argentine navy, now rumored 20 miles off Buenos Aires. v The two newest cruisers of the five in the Argentine navy are "Ninth of July" and the "Seven teenth of October," both pur chased for a song from the United States in 1951. Many of the people to whom I talked believed that if Peron had time he could work his way out of his present difficulty. They described him as a smooth, extraordinarily able man who might be able to play off opposing forces to his own advantage as he has done so often in the past. Other persons thought his die- Longtime Teacher Here Dies in East Funeral services will be held at Washington, D. C, Friday, June 24, at 1 p.m., for Ray Hen derson, 72, longtime -Medford teacher, who died there Wed nesday as the result of a fall last Monday.

Simmons, a veteran of World War II, served as state junior vice-commander in 1953-54, and on the state executive commit tee during the past year. tatorial powers never would return. One wild rumor that I heard on Tuesday was that at 2 a.m. that morning he had been put aboard a plane and sent out of the country. He still may be asked to leave and some thought he might be willing to do it. These observers pointed out that Peron is now almost 60 years old and after 12 years of political crisis and struggle should be fed up. Prison Officials Awaiting Details Of Michigan Escape Ionia, Mich. (U.R) A 19-year-old confessed killer who escaped Michigan State Reformatory by hiding in a shipping case was scheduled to be questioned today about the details of his story book flight. Prison officials said they did not question James Vincent Ecker, Saginaw, Mich., immedi ately after he was recaptured Wednesday night because he was "too exhausted" by his rigor ous attempts to throw police off his trail. Spotted in River Ecker surrendered meekly after a prison clerk, E. N. Wake field, spotted him standing in water up to his neck in the Grand River a half mile from the prison. Ward Karlvac, an assistant deputy at the reformatory, said authorities had no trouble ap prehending Ecker because he was surrounded "while in the water and "couldn't do a thing." While he was being returned to prison, Ecker told his captors he had walked in circles all night and slept in a wheat field. He said he had lived on wild berries and was "starving and dead tired." -Brags About Escape Despite his fatigue, the youth bragged about his escape, the first break from the reformatory in several years. The fugitive confirmed the authorities' belief , that he had ascaped by hiding in a packing crate which was' shipped out of the prison by a private trucking firm. He said he cut his way out of the crate with a knife and jumped off the truck a few blocks from the prison. "He , was too exhausted to question immediately so we just locked him up and let him sleep it off," Deputy Warden George Kropp said. "We'll question him about the details of his escape when he wakes up."
