ARGENTINE REGULATION TIGHT: By AP and Reuter WASHINGTON - Victory in North Carolina is a shot of ad- renalin for Ronald Reagan's White House challenge, but poli- tical arithmetic shows it will be difficult for even his optimistic projections in smaller states to outweigh President Ford's dom- ination of the larger ones. Meanwhile, the Senate passed a bill yesterday to restructure the Federal Election Commis- sion (FEC) and make other changes in the 1974 campaign finance law. Passage of the measure, a compromise fashioned by lead- ers of both parties, ended the stalemate that had threatened to keep the Senate snarled in controversy. ON THE Democratic side, in Tuesday's contest, Jimmy Car- ter won his fifth primary in six tries. His 3-to-2 margin over George Wallace further damp- ened the Alabama governor's chances of doing anything more at the Democratic National Con- vention ,than using a core of delegates in an attempt to in- flnence party policy. For Reagan, the 52 per cent victory was a needed boost both psychologically and for his fund-raisers. After last week's thumping at the hands of Ford in Illinois, a number of Re- publican officials had started to exert pressure on Reagan to quit the race in order to aid Republican chances in Novem- ber. Now Reagan can push on to the Texas primary May 1 and other delegate selection events he claims will put him in posi- tion to win the nomination in August. THE DIFFERENCE between psychological and arithmetical victory is well illustrated by North Carolina. Reagan won only three delegates more than Ford, 28 to 25. That leftdthe President still in over-all dele- gate command 206 to 81, with 52 others uncommitted. The FEC legislation, approv- ed 55 to 28, now goes to the House, where no action is in prospect before next week. One last-minute addition to the Senate bill was a sweeping financial disclosure provision adopted 76 to 13, applying to Congress members and all oth- er top federal officials. C O N G R E S S already has missed a March 22 deadline set by the Supreme Court for restructuringthe FEC, created to enforce and administer the 1974 law. As a result the com- mission lost its key powers, in- cluding authority to disburse funds to help presidential can- didates finance their primary campaigns. See N.C. Page 7 Coup leaders, to reorganize By AP and Reuter BUENOS AIRES, Argentina (kl) - The military junta that ousted President Isabel Peron in a bloodless coup began yes- terday the gargantuan task of imposing order on this chaotic nation. Troops moved swiftly- with occasional gunfire-against traces ofP eronism and left- wing political groups. Peron was believed flown to a resort-like air force compound in the interior. Reliable sources in Madrid said the Spanish gov- ernment had been unofficially informed that she might travel to Spain this weekend. COMMANDERS of the three armed forces set up an austere military government, ordered an end to political and labor activity and said they would at- tack Argentina's political vio- lence and economic woes. The junta led by Gen. Jorge Videla, moralistic 50-year-old army chief, also said it would reorganize the country for an eventual return to "republican democracy" and would align Argentina within "the Western and Christian world." Argentina's official radio net- work said the junta would ap- point a president after it imple- mented its changes. Military sources said the juntaiwould name Videla president but gave no indication when this would be done. THE NEW JUNTA said it would control areas essential to security and national develop- ment and would "ensure foreign capital the conditions it re- quires, without interference." However, the poor perform- ance of the military during the many years it ruled Argentina before the late Juan Peron re- turned to power in 1973 made it doubtful Videla and his col- leagues could solve the economic problems. The military also had some trouble with guerrillas when ittruled before, and partly for these reasons was slow to end the 21-month rule of Peron's. widow. There was no immediate sign of activity by leftwing guerril- las who lost at least 11 dead in a major battle with security forces in La Plata, 38 miles south of here, on the eve of the coup. THE COUP left only Venezue- la and Colombia with civilian governments in South America's major nations. By contrast to the last pre- vious South American coup, the bloody overthrow of Salvador ogovt. Allende in Chile in 1973, the Argentina overthrow was done with finesse and apparently little violence. But unconfirmed reports said troops made mass arrests in the pre-dawn hours, detaining a number of government and la- bor figures. THE COUP followed weeks of rumors that a military take- over was imminent because of widespread political and eco- nomic chaos and growing po- litical violence. The hemisphere's first woman president w a s arrested and flown to the interior just after midnight yesterday and within hours the military dissolved congress and took over muni- cipal governments and main la- bor movements. Expert not surprised bycoup in Argentina By MICHAEL YELLIN The deposing of President Isabel Peron by the Argentine military came as no surprise to University political observers, according to Time magazine's former Argentine bureau chief, Prof. Charles Eisendrath. "Isabel Peron was at one time a Cabaret dancer, she was completely ill prepared and unequipped for any role in politics," said Eisendrath in an interview yesterday. EISENDRATH was blunt in stating that Peron's main quali- fication for the presidency was her late husband's fame. The name of the charismatic Argentine leader, Juan Peron is well remembered there, even today. Peron's executive incompetency had become all too apparent in recent months, Eisendrath said, as the country's inflation rate See ARGENTINE, Page 7 Party on do By JAY LEVI The question of whether d< registration should continue i created a rift between the tw parties in town.
