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-

George Simmons, 606 Valley

the Jackson county chapter of
the Disabled American Veterans,
was elected senior vice-commander,

recent state convention in Tilla

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."
