(an stew, you'll add that what It f has In it is mostly bad. So you'll like the simile even j; better ' First, there's the weather. ! The weather over the week-end contained a little of everything snow, rain, sunshine, . cold spots, j warm spots. And, a few minutes ,-' ago, the teletype spit out a story I to the effect that another . storm ? is on the way down from the ' - Arctic regions. : It followed the pattern of a lit i tie of everything announcing l ' that maybe the storm will bend I . off and miss us, but also maybe f it will hit us right on the nose. i' Bol Hum! ' for weeks, the weather has been I' " irreproachably wonderful. But, as I summer wanes and winter waxes, ' we forget all the good and com- plain bitterly about the bad. . t .. Vile is like that. ' Over the week-end two promi t - nent Americans Robert Sher- V; wood, -i playwright, and Bernard ' De Voto, novelist and historian Y are victims of heart attacks. 2 Both were useful citizens.

Argentina I. Maj. Gen. Eduardo Lonardi, lead er of the September revolt which overthrew Juan Peron, was ousted Sunday aa provisional president of Argentina. Maj. Gen. Pedro Eugenlo Aram- buru. another antl-Peron army of ficer, : was sworn in to succeed him, but Lonardi supporters called the bloodless coup "treason" and said lt would not go unpunished) Armed forces leaders who car. ried out the switch after 24 hours of feverish negotiations, said the step was taken to stamp out totalitarian" Influences In the Lonardi government and to make sure Argentina followed the path oi -true democracy From his exile in Panama, Peron said the changes in the Argentine government "were expected and will continue . . There will be others shortly." Crowds shouted "Nazis no, de mocracy yes" as the new presi dent took over his office. Aramburu, a 82-year-old profes sional soldier, commanded rebel army units In the uprising against Peron' and .'.was ' named army ehfef or staff when the revolution ary government tdok over In Sep tember. Aramburu took the oath of office at Casa Rosada, the government nouse. late in the afternoon and immediately named a Junta to help nun ruie me country. The first an nouncement said the Junta would ,be made up of the ministers of the army, navy and air force. Later It; was expanded to Include the vice president, Adm. Isaac Rojas, commander of naval operations, Lonardi conferred at his home with some members of his ousted government. His only public com ment was a statement toreporters denying he had resigned. It said: "This has come about exclusive ly by the decision of certain mem bers of the armed forces." Maj. Oen. ,Juan Jose Uranga, transport minister In Lonardi's government, issued a fiery state ment accusing "ambitious ele ments" of seizing control of the "destiny of the liberating revolu tion. "The only chief ot the revolution was and Ifc General Lonardi," Uranga said, "and Ihe treason to General Lonardi will not go un punished." A radio communique from the new rulers termed the "armed forces of Ihe republic . . . totally unified In their aim of consolidat ing democracy loyally and effec tively in the country."

If he were convicted, would make him liable to 10 years im prisonment and J10.0JO fine or both. But It appeared that the state might be preparing to draw up murder charges against the sullen, baby-faced Graham, a once-convicted forger. If convicted of mur der, Graham would face the maxi mum penalty of death in the gas chamber. . . Authorities disclosed that Gra ham had taken out the insurance on his mother on an airline insur ance vending machine at Staple ton Airfield and that the policies cost a total of 81.50. . The government disclosed that the alleged sabotage of the airliner consisted of placing "several" sticks of dynamite attached to a battery and timing device aboard the Ill-fated plane. The big airliner crashed In a flaming explosion in a sugar beet field eight miles east of Longmont, Colo., about eight minutes alter It had taken off from Denver's Stapleton Municipal Airfield on a flight to Portland, Ore. Mrs. King was en route to 8 p I n a r d, Alaska, U visit her daughter, Mrs. Helen R. Hablutzel, who attended today's preliminary hearing. The latter had come to Denver for her mother's funeral. Mrs. Hablutzel arranged lor counsel for her brother and showed no emotion as she talked with re porters. As Graham was led away to Jail she called out to him. "Well, goodbye, Johnny, I'll talk to you later." - . , Graham, who spent part of his life In an orphanage, had been con victed ot forgery but stayed out of Jail when his mother helped him make good the bad cnecKs. He had , served time on a bootleg liquor charge. ' , i Denver Dlst. Atty.- Bert M.

Marc Smith of Oreeley, Colo., who has Jurisdic tion over the territory where the plane crashed, said he would await the advice of federal authorities before taking any steps in the ' case. Smith said he was certain If there were sufficient evidence to warrant filing of murder charges, Graham would be turned over to tlie state's custody. Tlie penalty for sabotage of a national defense utility is a 810,000 fine or 10 years in prison or both. but If Graham were convicted of ' murder in a state court, he would face the maximum penalty of death in the gas chamber. Graham, a husky, six-footer, with black, crew-cut hair, was still being questioned by the FBI's offices at the new Custom House building here.. At the time of his arrest, Gra ham had been making monthly payments as restitution after being convicted in November, 1951, of forging 84200 In bad checks. His five-year sentence was suspended on condition that the money be repaid. Mrs. King repaid 82500 of the amount and 8105 remained to be paid when Graham was arrest ed today. Oraham also served a 60-day Jail sentence late in 1951 after being convicted of an Illicit liquor charge in Lubbock, Tex., the FBI said.
