Bulganin Letter Termed 'Encouraging But Not Indication of Russian Change Denver (U.R) Soviet Premier Nikolai Bulganin's historic let ter to President Eisenhower was regarded by most observers Sat urday as an encouraging devel " opment, but no real indication of change in the Russian posi tion on disarmament. There were clear signs that the United States will continue to press strongly at United Na tions disarmament ' talks Mr. e Eisenhower's "pre-disarmament" proposals for "blueprint" ex change of military information and swapping of aerial recon naissance between the United States and the Soviet Union.

" ' '"' .' . Dr. Marcus, his face set with grief, accepted the note with out emotion. The letter, he said, became just another of "the hundreds" of letters he had re ceived from cranks and well- wishers since his newborn son was stolen from its bassinet at Mt. Zion hospital Monday. . Police doggedly checked out literally dozens of leads on a "buxom, blonde woman who was suspected as the kidnaper. The San Jose area 50 miles to the south was the scene of the most intensive search, but re ports of seeing the woman and the child continued to come in from points all over California Authorities frankly admitted they, were no near solution to the bizare abduction, Dr. Marcus was torn by two emotions as he kept a round- the-clock vigil at the side of his grief striken wife.

The 11-page, 2,000-word document was releas ed slightly more than 48 hours after .the President first received it on his fishing sojourn at Fra ser, Colo., high in the Rockies. Encouraging Note 1 One encouraging note sounded in Bulganin's letter was the flat statement that "my remarks do not all mean that we cannot achieve an agreement on import an aspects of the disarmament problem." The premier, in regard to the exchange of military informa tion, pointed out the President's puroposal did . not include the main point of disarmament-con Ousted Argentine President Given Right of Asylum Backers Battling Troops in Rosario Buenos Aires U.R) Troops of the new Argentine govern ment fired into menacing crowds of pro-Peronistas in Rosario, Argentina's second largest city Saturday and threatened to strafe them from the air if they refused to go home peacefully. The government announced officially in Buenos Aires that ousted President Juan D. Peron had received safe conduct to go into exile in a foreign country. The official ' government com munique said it recognized the right of political asylum, and Peron would receive all guar antees for safe passage. Since last Monday, Peron has taken refuge aboard the crip pled gunboat "Paraguay" in Buenos Aires harbor. Followers Fight Troops But even as the new govern ment announced it was giving up on efforts to bring Peron to Criminal trial, his diehard fol lowers battled government troops in Rosario. A communique issued by the military command over the ra dio announced: "since snipers have taken positions in. windows and rooftops, the public is warn ed to close all windows and doors because the first suspic ious movement will draw fire. "The curious can pay with their lives," the communique warned. Rosario was in a state of quarantine, with troops block ing off all main entrances to the city proper. The troops fired into a mob of about 200 sullen demonstrators at the corner of San Martin and Montevideo streets after a war ning volley of blanks failed to disperse them. The demonstrators fled, leav ing several, dead or wounded men lying in . the streets. No casualty figures were available immediately. Four ambulances rushed to the scene to tend the wounded. Troops first fired over the heads of and then directly into a crowd massed in the center of the city. The troops ignored signs carried by the demonstra tors saying "don't shoot, sol diers. We belong to the people." (See Story on Page 3). Russia Set's Off New Atomic Explosion Washington (U.R) Russia set off, another atomic explosion in "recent days, indicating a con tinuation of their tests of nuclear weapons," the Atomic Energy commission announced Saturday AEC Chairman Xewis L. Strauss issued a terse statement that Russia had exploded anoth er atomic weapon. He said that further announce ment "will be made only if some information of particular inter est occurs." - The AEC had revealed pre viously that Russia was conduct ing a new test series. trol of atomic and hydrogen weapson, which he said the Big Four powers must agree to out law. Agrees In Principle He said the Soviet Union in principle," had no objection to Mr. Eisenhower's "blueprint proposal." But the premier's letter went on to say that think that at a definite stage an exchange of such definite information between states is necessary. It would be better, howeveV, if such information concerning- aramaments were submitted by all states, and not only by the United States and the U. S. S. R . . . it is self- evident that information of all kinds of armaments," conven tional as well as nuclear, must be submitted in order to avoid misuoderstariding."
