New Government
Challenged by
Walkout Threat
Peron Stripped of
Military Rank, Honor
Buenos Aires, Argentina U.R)
Discharged Peronista labor lead
ers called a general strike for
midnight tonight in open chal
lenge to the new government
which heaped further disgrace
on their fallen idol by stripping
ousted President Juan D. Peron
of his military rank and honors.
The nationwide walkout was
called by officials of the General
Confederation of Labor who ac
cused &he government of Presi
dent Eduardo Lonardi of re
neging on its promises. .The OGT,
which claims a membership of
6,000,000, was a mainstay of de
posed dictator Peron's power
and offered during the last days
of his regime to mobilize a civil
militia for his refense.
It was the second time in three
days that the OGT challenged
the government. The Lonardi
government met the first defi
ance by dismissing ths officials
of the 2,400 member unions and
ordering election of new union
officers within f o months.
Threatened Strike Friday
The OGT Friday threatened a
general strike in an effort togre-
main control of unions taken
rer by anti-Peronist leaders
The government crackdown
spiked at least for the moment
tH threatened walkout. But
the newspaper El Lider, only Pe
ronista organ remaining in Ar
gentina, warned then that it may
lead to "civil war."
A OGT announcement Monday
night said that union secretaries
had agreed to call a strike of
indefinite duration because it
was charged "no government
official fulfilled his word or re
spected any agreement" with
the organizaspn.
An executive decree stripped
Peron of his general's rank for
conduct unbecoming an officer
in his public and private life.
Pebn was roundly criticized
for his relations with his teen
age gmistress, 16-year-old Nelly
Rivas, in a report by a military
cgurt of honor which examined
Peron's convict as an officer.
. The court, made up of five
generals, found Peron guilty of
misconduct, and recommended
he be prohibited from wearing
an Argentine army uniform.
In its 136-page report, the
court charged PercSi with sowing
hatred in Argentina and inciting
violence and murder. It said the
former dictator attacked the
Catholic faith and encouraged
tfie burning of churches. Other
charges included disloyalty to
the army and constitution.
Mistrial Declared
In Sherry Fong Case
Portland (U.R) A mistrial

was set. , The jury had been
sworn in last week but was sent
home until today because of an
other case Judge Dobson had to
hear.
In a statement to the jury, the
judge said: "Counsel for the state
and for the defendant,; in their
efforts to procure a jury com
posed of 12 men and women who
were not burdened with affy pre
viously formed opinion as to the
guilt or innocence of the defend
ant, Sherry Fong ... made ref

er so intended or not, were de
signed to engender prejudice in

Twelve inches new snow

18 inches. The road from Annie
Springs to the rim was closed
temporarily and highway 62
through the pass was reported
bad shape."
Snow, was general throughout

State police said 20 inches of
snow gave plows in the McKen

Electric Potential
Studied in Alaska
Fairbanks, Alaska (U.R)
Preliminary water gauging stud
ies have been started along the
Yukon river by the U. S. Recla
mation Bureau so that hydro
electric potentials in the interior
will be better known.
Wilbur A. Dexheimer, U. S.
commissioner of reclamation, re
cently made an aerial inspection
tour of the region and reported
a great amount of electricity
could be produced at Rampart,
100 miles northwest of here.
But, he explained, there is no
market for this power; hence,
bo immediate need for a dam.
Dexheimer said power gener
ated at Rampart, which lies
downstream from Fort Yukon,
could be transmitted to Seward
and other coastal points. He said
modern methods of transmitting
power developed in the Scan
dinavian countries made it pos
sible to send electrical energy
to points 500 miles from the gen
erating sites.
He also praised the Devil's
canyon project on the Susitna
river as the "most logical source
of cheap electrical energy for
the railbelt region of Alaska."
The Susitna lies near the Al
aska Railroad route. '
forced repeatedly to rap for
order:
1. Molotov promised to pre
sent further Soviet proposals
for the reunification of Germany
on Wednesday. All his other pro
posals appeared to have been
based on continued division of
Germany.
2. The United States, lead
ing the way in a drive to break
down Iron Curtain barriers, an
nounced it was lifting passport
restrictions on American travel
to Iron Curtain countries in
Europe.
3. The Soviets came up with
a new European security pact
calling for a narrower treaty
based on the indefinite partition
of Germany. This called for a
security pact among 15 nations
including the United States; the
West said it would study the
proposal but would never con
sent to the permanent division
of Germany.
4. The Soviets proposed and
su.. u v, j -ci4. j
West German governments be
invited to sit down at the Geneva
conference table.
5. Sharett pleaded with Molo
tov. to use all the strength in
his power to stop the flow of
Communist arms to Egypt. Molo
tov promised nothing.
6. The Big Three, meeting
earlier on the Middle East crisis,
agreed to furnish limited sup
plies of defensive weapons to
Israel but turned down Israel's
pleas for new security guaran
tees. Germany Key Question
It was obvious the conference
was approaching a showdown
over the key question of reunify
ing Germany and establishing
a European security treaty.
Thus far all Soviet proposals
would do away with NATO and
the Western European Union
key to the Western defense plan.
This the West refuses to do.
Soviet minimum requirements
Middle Eat also appeared to
be based on an unacceptable
condition dissolution of the
West's Baghdad Pact linking
Britain, Iran, Iraq, Turkey and
Pakistan in a defense belt run
ning across the Soviet's south
ern borders.
