President EisenhowerWill Find American Influence in Argentina at Record Peak Editor's note: Here is the third in a series of articles by Francis L. McCarthy, U.S. Latin American editor for UPI. on the political and economic aspect of President Eisen hower's forthcoming four-nation tour of South America. By FRANCIS L. McCARTHY President Eisenhower will find U. S. influence in Argen tina at a record peak when he arrives in Buenos Aires Feb. 26 for a three-day state visit. U.S. official and private bank loans of more than $329 million in the past 13 months have made Argentina a show-case for Latin America in the matter of U.S. - assisted recovery. U.S. investment volume in Argentina has risen sharply since President Arturo Fron- dizi gambled, successfully, in permitting foreign oil com panies to participate in local exploration. On the international polit ical front, never has U.S. in fluence in Argentina been so strong. There are no serious differences between the two nations. Argentina would like to see restrictions on its beef exports to the U. S. relaxed, and this almost certainly will be discussed between the two presidents So will continued, and increased, U.S. financial aid. On the local political front, Eisenhower will arrive in Buenos Aires a month before the first nationwide election -to renew one-third of the Chamber of Deputies-since Frondizi became president on Feb. 23, 1958. The political climate will be one of relative calm - aside from election campaigning as compared to the first turbu lent month of austerity there. Painful austerity was forced on Argentina as a con sequence of the 12-year era of Peron dictatorship. Gold and dollar reserves of the Argentine government fell nearly a billion dollars during the period. - Observers also estimate that the national economy ! mav havia hpn Inpanit nliyoH by as much as $10 .billion during the period. The warlor-like way in which lawyer-economist Fron dizi has faced up to the eco nomic responsibilities will please old soldier Eisenhower. Sen.

The board said over-all in dustrial output advanced nearly 3 per cent, with dur able goods chalking up almost the entire gain. Auto assem blies set a new record. The board's index of .fac tory, mine, and mill activity jumped four points to a.new high of 169. This meant "in dustrial ' output was 69 per cent higher last month than in a 1947-49 base period.

Two Greyhound Hearings Dated SalemTCPl) Public Utility Commissioner Jonel C: Hill has scheduled' two hearings on an application of the Grey hound Corporation to aban don service over two routes in Douglas and Josephine counties. The frist hearing will be Feb. 24 at 1:30 p.m. in Rose burg on proposed abandon ment of service on the Win-ston-Dillard highway. The other hearing will be Feb. 25 at 9 a.m. in Grants Pass on requested abandon ment via old Highway 99 through Antlers. The 51-year-old president has met head-on and defeated crisis after crisis since in ception of his drastic national belt-tightening program. President Frondizi has made liberal use of state of siege power in bringing the nation to comparatively norm alcy. He restored public order by such acts as padlocking Communist publications, boot ing out several Russian and Iron Curtain diplomats ac cused as agitators, jailing truculent labor leaders and keeping remnants of the dicta torial Peron regime bottled up by banning public demon strations. His truce with the armed forces-in a virtual state of re bellion in June, July and August of last year-was ac complished by a purge of re maining Peron elements in government and military life.
