Peron gives his version of the Argentine revolution and the events leading to his exile. He de scribed it as the "first and only" such statement be will make. By GERMAN CHAVES United Presi Correspondent Asuncion, Paraguay (U.R) Ousted President Juan D. Peron today described himself as a man without wealth, double -crossed and forced into exile by his own generals. He said he stiU is the "constitutional president" of Ar gentina. He never resigned his office, he said. He -said he could have con tinued to resist the revolution and that "the chances of success were absolute." Would Cost Many Lives But he said it would have meant "prolonging the struggle, killing many people and destroy ing that which it cost us so much to build." He did not rule out the pos sibility that "some day it would occur to me" to return to Argen tine politics but said that for now he intended to remain quiet ly in Paraguay. The former dictator spoke in answer to a written series of questions put to him in his Par aguayan exile by United Press and then continued his conver sation for another 45 minutes. The declaration, he was making, he saifl, would be his "first and only one" because "it is not my purpose to blow my own horn." Cites Class Struggle , Peron charged that the revo lution leading to his exile "rep resents the struggle of the par asitic class against the produc ing class. "The oligarchy contributed their money, the clerics their sermons, a section of the arm ed forces, dominated by the am bition of certain chiefs, contrib uted the arms of the republic," he said. He said that "despite the wealth attributed to me by my occasional detractors" he did not have the money to go to Eerope and "play the tourist." In Buenos Aires, Peron's for mer vice-'president, Rear Adm. Alberto Teisaire, described the ousted dictator as cowardly, dis loyal, hyprocritical and immor- Students Invited To Hear Speaker Ashland Southern Oregon college students have been in vited by Miss Ann Arnold, direc tor of Wesley House on campus, to attend the lecture by the Rev.

He said that since 1952 Per on practically had ceased to gov ern, spending most of his time with high school girls,, labor un ionists and actresses, or in sport ing activities. . Reported Hidden Fortune The Argentine provisional government claims to have un covered hidden treasure valued at upwards of $30,000,000 tuck ed away by Peron in the various hideaways where he and his friends conducted their revels. Peron said that after the rev olution broke out on Sept. 18 and after the rebel navy threat to bomb Buenos Aires and the oil installations at Eva Peron (La Plata), he wrote the note "suggesting the need to avoid the massacre of innocent and defenseless people and the dis aster of destruction, offering, if necessary, to withdraw from the government." He said that his own generals under Gen. Franklin Lucero chose to interpret his "offer" as a formal resignation. . He said that at dawn on Sept. 20, his aide was summoned and told by the ruling generals that they "had accepted my resigna tion which I had not submitted and that I should leave the country. "In other words, the generals who went over to the rebels forced me into exile." mm - 1. t ! t II pI J h EXILE'S RETREAT This is the house in which ex-President Juan D.

CENTRAL jteaft DRUG Main and Central Gold Arrow Stamps Writer Describes Algeria Desert Fighting Editor's Not: The French outpost of Aknoul in northern Morocco was reported under attack today by rebel Riff tribesmen swooping down from the Atlas Mountains. United Press Correspondent Wilbur G. Landrey reached Aknoul Tuesday in a daring trip through rebel-infested areas without military escort. In the follow ing dispatch he describes the fighting in the barren desert areas. By WILBUR LANDRY United Press Correspondent Aknoul, Morocco (U.R) The sweating French commandant of Saphis tough Algerian armor ed cavalry shouted into his field telephone: "I'm stripped Dare. I haven't got a single tank left. I just ordered the last one out." The scene Tuesday was at field headquarters of Maj. Francois Garout a plaster-smeared rock structure on a barren hillside in the wild Riff country. Garout's men were holding a position on the French line from the constantly moving front to the supply base at Taza, 30 miles south. On the dusty roadside below, Spahi tanks, jeeps and weapon carriers got set to roll up the winding asphalt road pockmark ed with rebel tank traps and re lieve the besieged garrison town of Boured. It had rained in the morning but the desert sun was beating down again and a blue-eyed lieu tenant was sweating in his open collared khaki uniform. "I was up a road with two pla toons yesterday," he ,said. "We came to a wooden bridge that had collapsed under the weight of a foreign legion weapons car rier.

The bullets started smacking into the vehicles and we took to the ditches. "There we were with our shiny modern weapons pinned down by native snipers. "It only takes two of them, one down close where he can draw a bead on you and one be hind him further up to pick off anybody going after the first man. "You seldom ever see them. You have to blast away at them all afternoon with your tank guns and mortars." It's the same old story as In dochina," said a third trooper. "A few rebels with small arms can take high ground and pin down a whole company of mech anized troops." ' While they spoke Riff tribes men in white Headdresses and Dejallabas idled by the roadside. Probably some of them had sons and brothers fighting in the hills agains the French, but their faces expressed no emotion. " On the trip up we had to ford a stream called M-Soun Oued. The rebels Tiad burned the wood en bridge and cut the telephone wires. When we passed, a French pa trol was keeping watch on the surrounding hilltops while na tive workmen sweated to repair the bridge. Occasionally the road, wash ed out by sporadic rains and landslides, were mere mud and rock. SKUNK DAMAGE Shawano, Wis. (U.R) A skunk came to Shawano and an auto shop repairman reaped the scent.
