Remnants
BUENOS AIRES (te) - Argen-
tina's provisional government yest-
erday wiped out two legacies of
the Juan D. Peron dictatorship-
the party he created to maintain
absolute power and the expropria-
tion of the newspaper La Prensa.
President Pedro Aramburu, in
office only 18 days, issued two de-
crees, one ordering the Peronista
party dissolved and the other re-
storing La Prensa to its owners,
the Paz family, from whom it was
taken almost five years ago.
The Peronista party was organ-
ized at a mass meeting in July,
1949. Peron then had been. presi-
dent three years, supported by the
Labor party and a leftwing splin-
ter group of the Radical party.
The new party was dedicated to
him as its sole leader.
Estimated Two Per Cent
Its exact membership never was
known, but was estimated at 250,-
000 to 300,000, or about 2 per cent
of Argentina's population. As
Peron's power increased member-
ship became a. privilege for aver-
age citizens and brought any who
joined special advantages.
It became a smoothly operating
political machine'which smothered
all political opposition. When
Peron fell in the military revolt
last September, Peronistas held all
the Senate seats, all but 12 of 155
seats in the Chamber of Deputies,
sat on the benches of nearly all
the nation's courts and held most
of the provincial and local govern-
ment posts.
Its dissolution by decree, follow-
ing the government's seizure of the
General Confederation of Labor,
smashes both main arms of
Peron's regime.
La Prensa's expropriation by the
Peron government in 1951 was an-
other step in his relentless sup-
pression of all opponents. Under
the editor and director, Dr. Alberto
Gainza Paz, La Prensa was the
largest Spanish language news-
paper in the world, widely recog-
nized abroad for its independence.
Newsprint Seized
It was critical of Peron and in
1948 he launched a campaign to
force it to support him by seizing
part of its newsprint. Two years
later, he seized all its newsprint
stocks and denied it the right to
import more.
The campaign failed to silence
the newspaper and, in January,
1951, the Peronista News Vendors'
Union refused to distribute it. This
forced the big daily to suspend
publication. Three months later a
congressional commision seized
control of its property and records,
charging it with "anti-Argentine"
activities, The following month
Congress voted to expopriate La
Prensa and its was turned over to
the CGT.
Strike Affects
Detroit Papers
DETROIT ()-The AFL Ster-
eotypers Union tonight voted to
strike against Detroit's three daily
newspapers tomorrow morning.
Affected would be the morning
Detroit Free Press and the after-
noon Detroit News and Detroit
Times. The three papers have a
combined daily circulation of
about 1,300,000.
A two-year contract between the
union and the Detroit Newspaper
publishers Assn., representing the
three dailies, expired at midnight
yesterday. '
The publishers association said
the union has asked that an extra
,crew be provided to process color
plates, with a minimum of a full
day's pay, and that overtime be
paid for handling any material

CHICAGO (P)-Today is S-D Day - the day you try harder
than ever to stay alive and save other lives.
The safe driving day- campaign is a mammoth effort to cut
traffic deaths through extra caution. Each motorist and pedestrian
plays a vital role.
The nation has come to the eve of S-D Day with a 1955 highway
safety record that gives safety experts little to cheer about.

Lewis Demands CIO
Repayment of Old Loan
NEW YORK ()-United Mine Workers chieftain John L. Lewis
yesterday demanded that the CIO repay an old loan from his union.
He was told "the CIO owes you no money."
Lewis' action was viewed as an attempt to throw a last-minute
monkey wrench into the smoothly moving merger plans of the AFL
and CIO.
He dunned'the CIO for $1,665,000 he claimed the UMW loaned the
CIO in its struggling infancy in the late 1930s.
Lewis Wants Money
And Lewis said he wanted the money before the CIO was
"liquidated" in the forthcoming merger. The labor bodies vote on
the merger in separate conven- ,-

Patrols Cut...
NEW CASTLE, Ind. - National
Guard patrols were cut from 90
to 30 here today, and Adj. Gen.
H. A. Doherty said some troops
will be kept on until strikers have
begun returning to jobs with Per-
fect Circle Corp.
Guarding against any recur-
rence of the riot at the little piston
ring foundry Oct. 5, Gen. Doherty
said the newly arrived unit of 25
Guardsmen from Greensburg prob-
ably will stay here until next Tues-
day or Wednesday. He said he
expects the first callback of strik-
ers to come Monday.
Doherty said he set up that time-
table after consulting with Mayor
Paul F. McCormack, whose appeal
first brought troops to the foundry
the night after the riot. Guards-
men have been here all the time
since then, except for six days
before Thanksgiving. -
The adjutant general said Gov.
Craig also approved continuing
the patrols.

More Violence .. .
WASHINGTON - Government
officials who keep tabs on, labor
affairs say there has been a notable
increase in labor violence this
year. They add that it is still
a comparative rarity.
More instances of beatings,
shootings, property damage and
picket line disturbances seem to
have flared up in 1955 than in
several years gone by.

Churches Pressure...
OMAHA - The National Coun-
cil of Churches General Board
yesterday adopted a resolution
urging 144,000 member churches
to bring pressure against the U.S.
Department of Agriculture for re-

seas needy.
The action came after R. Nor-
ris' Wilson, director of the Na-

Death Toll 14,.
FAIRBANKS, Alaska - The
Air Force reported yesterday that
the death toll had reached 14 in
Tuesday's explosive crash of a jet
fighter plane into housing units
at Eielson Air Force Base.
At least six children in two
families and three women were
among the known dead.
Eight others were injured as
the veering plane demolished one
eight-family building and spread
flames to five others at the base
26 miles southeast of the interior
Alaska city.

Snowstorms Dwindle...
Snowstorms that paralyzed areas
in Michigan and New York-
dwindled to flurries yesterday but
highways the first 10 months this
year-a 7 per cent increase over
1954.
The October traffic toll of 3,920
is 12 per cent ahead of the corres-
ponding 1954 month and the
largest for any one month since
the record high total of December
1941.
"If anyone thinks S-D Day is
just a lot of shouting about noth-
ing, stop and think about these
figures," said Ned H. Dearborn,
safety council president.
Lack of Responsibility
"S-D Day is a one-day effort to
wake people up. The auto is here
to stay, but I have my doubts
about a lot of drivers if they keep
up this flagrant lack of responsi-
bility on the highways."
The President's Committee for
Traffic Safety designated today as
S-D Day for two purposes: To
achieve a sharp reduction in traf-
fic accidents on that day and every
day, and to demonstrate that safe
driving is a necessity on ordinary
weekdays as well as on weekends
and during holiday periods.
Special Effort
Police departments and civic or-
ganizations across the country will
make a special' effort today to
cut down traffic deaths. Banners
urging motorists to drive safely
have been draped along many
streets. President Dwight D. Eisen-
hower appealed to all Americans
to help reduce accidents.
The Associated Press will con-
duct a continuous nationwide sur-
vey of traffic deaths throughout
the day. An AP spot survey on
Nov. 17-a comparable day--show-
ed 69 traffic fatalities.

An atmosphere of Christmas is beginning to prevail in the Galen
Workshop on the ninth floor of University Hospital.'
Sponsored by Galens. an honorary medical society, the workshop1
provides both educational and playful diversion for all hospitalized
children. Equipment and a teacher are supplied by Galens who spon-f
sor an annual December drive to procure money needed.

Tenneson, American GI who elect-
ed to go to. Red China after the
Korean War, has been allowed to
leave that country, it was re-
ported Yesterday.
The British Red Cross received
word from the Chinese Red Cross
of Tenneson's release. He is ex-
pected here today.
Tenneson was one of 21 turn-
coat GIs who denounced condi-
tions in the United States and
asked to be accepted in Red China
as "free men." Peiping agreed to
this on Jan. 27, 1954.
Earlier he had written his
mother, Mrs. Portia Howe, of Al-
1den, Minn., that he was staying
with communism because, "I love
peace, I love mankind."
His mother, convinced her son
by a previous marriage had been
thoroughly brainwashed by his,
Red captors, flew to Tokyo, hope-
ful of meeting him face to face,
but the Army would nt let her go
to Korea.
In a letter toMrs. Howe last

supplies and equipment used in the
shop for an entire year.
In addition to supplying the
workshop with facilities, Galens
also give a Christmas party and
gifts yearly.
During the morning workshop
routine, the children are given an
education in a unique manner.
This winter, the subject of their
teaching is animals. They model
various animals known to live in
Michigan out of clay, add and
divide them to learn arithmetic
and read and write about them
for English.
Not Mere Reading
"If we told them to merely read
a chapter about Dick and Jane,
we would have some very unhappy
children," Mary Bancroft, asst.
director of the Hospital school ex-
plained.
Although some children are un-
able to come to the Galen Work-
shop, they are still reached by
teachers down in tle wards with
arts and craft materials bought
by Galen Drive proceeds.

In a quick reply by letter,. CIO
Secretary - Treasurer James, B.
Carey said Lewis was wrong about
two things.
Carey Comments
IFirst, the CI0 will not be "liqui-
dated" in the merger, Carey said.
and second, "the CIO owes you no
money."
"You have achieved the momen-
tary ripple of publicity which you
sought to relieve the boredom of
your isolation from the demo-
cratic labor movement," Carey
told Lewis.
Carey made it clear the CIO has
no intention of meeting Lewis' de-
mand. Other CIO spokesmen said
the funds advanced by the UMW
had always been considered gifts
to the CIO.
Lewis Broke Away
Lewis at the time was head of
both the UMW and the CIO. It
was he who broke away from the
parent AFL and led the formation
of the CIO as a rival organization.
Later he took his mine workers
into the independent status they
retain to this day.
Lewis is known to be against
the AFL-CIO merger. He has
called it a "rope of sand." His
Plans Given

were heard at the Student Govern-
ment Council meeting last night.
SGC Vice-president Joel Tauber,
'57, who attended the orientation
program meeting explained the
switch in calanders.
It provides for a full fifteen-.
week semester, a ten-day Christ-
mas vacation. period, and classes
starting on Thursday instead of
Monday cutting the orientation
and registration program to three
days.
Plan Recommended
Student members attending the
meeting recommended a plan for
orientation of nev students. It
was subsequently referred to a
study committee to be appointed
by James A. Lewis, vice-president
for student affairs.
The plan called for summer'
weekends to be set aside for test-

Maneuver Sets
New Precedent
PARIS-The French Cabinet de-
cided yesterday to dissolve the
National Assembly and hold new
elections.
At this stage. Premier Edgar
Faure appeared to have turned a
seeming defeat into victory. He
has been campaigning all along
for early elections, but the devious
approach to them was a surprise
even in French politics.
The Assembly gave Faure a vote
of no-confidence Tuesday, usually
the signal for the government's
immediate resignation. But the
size of the Assembly vote against
him brought into play ,an obscure
constitutional provision permitting
the Cabinet to order dissolutions.
Unprecedented Decision
The unprecedented decision was
announced yesterday following a
3 i/-hour Cabinet session at the
Elysee Palace, the French White
House. No date was given for the
elections, but they must come be-
tween 20 and 30 days after the
dissolution order is handed down
Faure told newsmen later this
constitutional time limit raises
problems. If the order is handec
down immediately, the voting
would come during the Christmas
vacation, perhaps on Christmas
Day.
Faure and most of his associates
will remain on the job to handle
the government's day-to-day af-
fairs and oversee the elections.

ers as an attempt to embarrass
CIO and AFL leaders who are all
set for quick approval of the.
merger.
Owens Sends Letter
Lewis' dun for the money was
in the form of a letter from UMW
Secretary-Treasurer John Owens
to Carey.
A UJMW spokesman declined to.
say what the UMW would do if
the money was not repaid. Asked
if he expected the CIO to take the
matter up at its convention open-
ing tomorrow, he said, "I would
assume that's the honorable thing
to do."
The AFL and CIO yesterday'
completed final plans for forma-
tion of a single 16-million-member
union federation.
Pre-registration for new students
and undergraduates are included
also.
It was suggested following con-
sensus of opinion of those attend-
ing the meeting that full program
of orientation could not be hand-
led in the three day period before
classes.
Everyone Satisfied?
SGC president Hank Berliner,
'56, said he felt the new calander
settled the wishes of.the students,
who wanted one dead day before
exams, the faculty who wanted a
full fifteen week semester, the
athletic department who did not
want too miuch time cut from fall
football practice, and the admin-
istration who wanted time for the
orientation program.
Considerable Opposition
The decision to dissolve the
balky French Assembly and go
over its head to the people directly
in an election was. taken against
considerable opposition yesterday,
which included many members of
Premier Edgar Faure's Radical
Socialist Party.
Five ministers of Faure's party
refused to go along with his de-
cision.
It was an agonizing choice for
France's .21st premier since the
war, and an equally bitter pill for
the left-of-center coalition which
voted to oust him for the very
reason that he wanted to dissolve
the Assembly and hold early
national elections.
Up to Faure
Part of Faure's Radical Social-
ist Party, led by former Premier
Pierre Mendes-France, who wants
regularly scheduled elections in
June, voted against dissolution of
the Parliament. But constitution-
al experts agreed it was up to
Faure to decide.
President Rene Coty was re-
ported adamantly opposed to dis-
solution.
