PERON AGAIN-:
American Called
Revolt Leader
By The Associated Press
President Peron charged yesterday that former U.S. Ambassador
Spruille Braden was the "originator" of Friday's luckless revolt in
which hundreds of soldiers and politicians were arrested.
Sources close to the army said 200 officers and men had been
seized in a relentless police dragnet over the weekend in a move to
clush out vestiges of opposition to the Peron regime before the Nov.
11 election.
MANY LEADERS in the opposition Radical, Nationalist, Com-
munist, Socialist, and conservative parties were listed by political
circles as in custody.
Among those arrested by secret police, informants said, was

WASHINGTON-(')-Harold E.
Stassen testified to senators yes-
terday that Secretary of State
Acheson and ambassador-at-large
Philip C. Jessup once advocated
cutting off military aid to nation-
alist China as a dramatic "move
for world peace."
Stassen made the statement
while appearing as a subpoenaed
' witness before the senate internal
security subcommittee. The group
is investigating charges that left-
ists wormed their way into the
institute of Pacific relations, a
private organization, and influenc-
ed U.S. far eastern policy.
STASSEN, president of the Uni-
versity of Pennsylvania, former
governor of Minnesota, and one-
time aspirant to the G.O.P. presi-
dential nomination, testified that
he learned about the Acheson-
Jessup recommendation from the
late Senator Vandenberg (R-
MichY.
Stassen said Vandenberg told
him the recommendation was
made at a White House confer.

berg told him about it in Novem-
ber, 1950. Vandenberg was at
' the White House meeting, Stas-
sen said.
Stassen added that the pro-
" posal to stop aid to Chiang had
been advocated at a roundtable
meeting in 1949 sponsored by the
state department. The step was
one of 10 proposed by Owen Lat-
timore, Johns Hopkins University
professor and Asian expert, who
was present at the roundtable.
Stassen said Lattimore also ad-
vocated that the U.S. recognize
Communist China. Stassen added
that there was "much evidence"
that the state department was
proceding "to implement the Lat-
timore program" before war broke
out in Korea.

yesterday maximum penalties will
be sought against persons accused
of beef price control violation in a
nationwide drive.
Di Salle reported the week-old
enforcement campaign has un-
covered violations in 443 slaughter
houses of the 1,192 checked
throughout the country.
He said this means about 38
b per cent of those checked have
been found in violation. He said
the total number of violations
now is 1,052, or an average of
more than two for each slaugh-
terhouse.
"Some court orders already are
being sought to force compliance
,with the regulations and others
illbe asked, Di Salle told report-
ers.
HE ADDED that wherever ro
lations are found to be willful,
,the Office cf Price Stabilization
will urge that criminal charges
be brought as warranted. This
could mean a penalty of up to a
year in jail or up to a $10,000
fine, or both.

At his news conference, Presi-
dent Peron revived his long-stand-
ing feud with Braden, ambassa-
dor here for four months in 1945
and assistant secretary of state for
Latin American affairs until 1947.
..IN NEW YORK Braden said
Peron's charges were "perfectly
ridiculous" and showed "how weak
and wobbly he (Peron) is." He
added that Peron "must be in a
very poor position to make wild
assertions of that kind."
Peron also attacked again
John Griffith, former cultural
attache at the U.S. Embassy,
who was expelled from the
country in 1948 and accused of
being involved in a plot to as-
sassinate the Argentine presi-
dent.
Declaring Friday's military re-
volt the "action of madmen,"
Peronsalluded to Braden asga "ne-
farious character" in a long chain
of events, and asserted:
"The origin of all for me is the
actions taken by Mr. Braden in
1945. He is the originator of what
has now occurred. He used the
staff of the embassy and all the
money he was able to command
and every other means for forma-
tion of the Union Democracia
(the coalition that opposed Peron
in the 1946 presidential election).

eastern Korea which they had

Two peaks were won by the
South Koreans in East Korea
yesterday. In addition to the
3,500-foot height, South Kor-

Red counterattack Sept. 28.
The 3,500 foot height was cap-

more than 20 miles north of paral-

been battling stubborn North Kor-

September.

After a three hour examination

Miss Campbell was found dead

jail to await their Oct. 16 trial in'
the higher court.
Meanwhile, two officials of

the teen-age youths as to where
they purchased beer on both the
night of the murder and previ-

IN RATHER quieted terms, the

particular statement was made in
any of our broadcasts.
It is true, however, that we
do not favor rugby as a sport
and prefer soccer. Soccer foot-
ball is very popular here and
the games are as exciting and
popular as football is anywhere
in the world."
Friedman also had some doubts
as 'to the status of minorities in
Soviet Russia. To this question
Radio Moscow broke out into a
spirited answer.
"DISCRIMINATION and preju-
dice rumors are groundless. They
are refuted not only by the Soviet
law and practice and also by the
very principles of human rights on
which our society is based.
"Already in November 1917

ed its Declaration on the Rights
of the Nations of Russia which
laid down the principles of equal-
ity and sovereignty of all the
Nations of Russia."
The letter continued: "Arid the
Soviet government has never de-
parted from these principles. Ra-

life, it stands to reason, despite
all malicious rumors that all min-
orities enjoy full equality."

Britain bowed to Premier Mos-
sadegh's "get-out" ultimatum yes--
terday and ordered all her 350 oil-
men to evacuate the refinery at
Abadan without waiting for action
by the United Nations Security
Council.
The refinery was Britain's Iast
stronghold in the billion dollar oil
empire she has built here in the
last 50 years. For several days
armed Iranian soldiers at the
gates have been in control of the
premises.
* * *
THE ACTION was announced
by Alec Mason, manager of the
nationalized Anglo-Iranian Oil
Company, to a news conference at
Abadan.
All but a handful of top exe-
cutives will leave, probably on
the cruiser Mauritius, tomorrow
for Basra in neighboring Iraq
he said. If the Iranians do not
permit the warships to dock, the
technicians will be taken out in
launches.
The order for the Middle East
Dunquerque was flashed from
London after Iranian spokesmen
had declared the expulsion order
would be carried out regardless of
action pending before the Security
Council.
U.S. Ambassador Loy Heder-
son appealed to Mossadegh in vain
for half an hour this morning to
delay the ouster.
, MEANWHILE in New York, the
Britons began a last-ditch fight in
the United Nations to preserve
her stake in the rich Iranian oil
industry after Russia failed by a
vote of 9 to 2 to block debate in
the Security Council.
Sir Gladwyn Jebb of Britain
told the Council that the Iran-
ian government is creating a
situation which might threaten
peace.
He said the Iranian order ex-
pelling the 350 technicians from
Abadan was an action "entirely
contrary to the elementary prin-
ciples of international usage."
"MOREOVER, it is our conten-
tion that by so doing the Iranians
are creating a highly inflamma-
tory situation which may well be
a threat to international peace
and security."
In all of this, Sir Gladwyn
continued, the Irainian Govern-
ment is rushing madly down a
steep hill in pursuit of an il-
lusory objective.
Soviet Delegate Semyon K.
Tsarapkin argued that the oil na-
tionalization question and the
ousting of the British technicians
both were internal matters for
Iran and tried to get the British
complaint rejected.
