Brazil Revolt Attempted By Army General

RIO DE JANEIRO (INS) — A Brazilian army general staged a “coup against a feared coup d’etat” today and unconfirmed reports said naval gunners fired on an army tort in contesting the move. Gen. Henrique Teixera Lott, who resigned qnly Thursday night as war minister, proclaimed his predawn coup “to save the constitution" and then called parliament into session to sanction it. The emergency session decided that temporary president Carlos Coimbra De Luz was "no longer eligible to be president” and then began voting to appoint a successor. Under the constitutional process the successor will be the senate vice-president Nereu Ramos. • Officials denied there was any fighting but reports persisted that the Brazilian cruiser Tamansare’s crewmen tried to leave their base in Rio harbor and were fired on by an army fortress. The cruiser reportedly returned the fire. Casualties if any and damage were undetermined. Naval officers proclaimed that the army general’s action was “subversive” but those close to Teixera Lott denied it was a military revolt in the usual sense of the word. (News dispatches front Rio De Janeiro were subject to long delays and to censorship). General Teixera Lott proclaimed his quick revolt because provisional president Luz. who only took over from president Joao Case Filho last Tuesday, refused to punish an army colonel who openly talked of preventing president-elect Juscelino Kubitschek from taking office next January. President-elect Kubitschek is represented as a political heir to Vargas and Cerda opposes his election which occurred last month: Army troops supported by tanks in a heavy rain that began at dawn occupied the war ministry and other strategic buildings and points in the-capital. The public was calm. The general said hfs action was “to save the constitution" and to prevent an extremist military Juscelino Kubitschek and vice-presi-dent-elect Joao Goulart from assuming office next Jan. 31. They were elected early last month. Army troops appeared to be rallying to the support of the general Danton Cuelho. a member of the chamber of deputies and unsuccessful vice-presidential candidate in the recent elections, told reporters that the land forces were united. Lloyd Bryan Named School Superintendent • Lloyd Bryan, former teacher and coach in Adams county schools, has been apopinted superintendent of Wayne township schools in Allen county, according to an announcement by Walter Summers, township trustee. Bryan, whose appointment will be effective late in December, will remain as principal of the Anthony Wayne school, of which he has been principal for 20 years.

Big Four Will End Conference Next Wednesday Foreign Ministers Agree To Close Os Fruitless Parleys GENEVA (INS) — U. S. Secretary of state John Foster Dulles rejected a Soviet disarmament plan today and accused Russia of “refusal to honor its agreement that Germany be reunified by free elections.” In the dying Big Four foreign ministers conference -he suggested that a ground and aerial "watchdog” plan to prevent sneak hydrogen bomb attacks be expanded into, a world wide organization. The four foreign ministers in the deadlocked conference decided earlier at a private session that they would wind up the conference by next Wednesday. Dulles said that because of Soviet actions “there has been no progress but retrogression in trying to achieve an atmosphere of trust.” He asked Russia how the West could be expected to accept a Soviet disarmaent plan based on mere “promises" and lacking rigid inspection rules when the conference already had witnessed “an example of Soviet Union refusal to honor its agreement” on Germany. When the eleventh session of the Big Four began at 9:30 a.m. (EST) Soviet foreign minister V. M, Molotov, who was chairman, announced the Wednesday close of the conference which has failed to settle any of the three items on the agenda. Those items were: European security and German reunification; disarmament; improved East-West relations. It is understood that secretary of state John Foster Dulles will fly home Thursday unless he decides to stop off at the West German capital of Bonn to see Chancellor Konrad 'Adenauer. At the moment no plans have been made for a visit to Bonn. The decision to end the conference next Wednesday confirmed an exclusive International News Service story two days ago. Dulles and his western colleagues. British foreign secretary Harold MacMillan and French foreign minister Antoine Pinay reached their decision last Thursday. They told Molotov today they wanted to wind up the meeting which failed to bear out the “spirit of Geneva” hopes aroused by the (Continued on Page Eight)

Employes Vole Out Perfect Circle UAW Three Plants Vote Against UAW Union HAGERSTOWN, Ind.

Ike Walks Out Os Hospital To Personal Plane Leaves Hospital For First Time After September Attack DENVER (INS) —President Eisenhower, ghinning broadly and looking like a man in shape to play 18 holes of golf, walked out of the hospital today and flew home to Washington. In a brief farewell speech before taking off from Denver, the chief executive said his heart was “filled with gratefulness’ to all the people who have helped play a part in his recovery from a heart attack. — Except for a slight thinness about the neck, Mr. Eisenhower looked much as he did when he arrived in Colorado 13 weeks ago for a "work and play’’ vacation. He paused part way up the 19step ramp to his personal plane, the Columbine 111, to address a crowd of some 1.500 persons gathered on the airstrip. It was'the firs) time the President had spoken publicly since his heart attack Sept. 24, and his remarks were beanfed into every corner ofj' the nation by radio and television. „ He began by noting with a taint smile that the time had come, once again for him and the first lady to take their annual leave from Denver. Then, noting that the situation was somewhat different this year since he had been in the hospital, he declared: “This time is not completely lost —misfortune, particularly the misfortune of illness, brings to us the understanding of how good people are.” He added: “I am especially grateful for the knowledge that over this country and over the world friends have sent tip prayers for a sick friend.” The 65-year-old president stood bareheaded under chiil, overcast skies to deliver his brief farewell, Before' disappearing into the plane, Mr. Eisenhower waved his hat to the crowd and called: “Goodbye, goodbye ’Aks’ — goodbye and good luck.” “Aks” is the President’s close friend and fishing crony, Denver banker Aksel Nielsen. \ Mr. Eisenhower’s limousine drove the six miles between the hospital and Lowry air force base at about 20 miles an hour. Crowds of people were clustered at various intersections. There was a heavy guard around not only the Columbine but also ~’ the C-7 press plane—precaution reportedly taken because of the fear of possible sabotage in a recent United Air lines crash near Longmont, Colo. In Washington, a crowd of about 200,000 was expected to welcome the President home under sunny skies. But most of the crowd would see him ’not at the airport but as- he drives in a plastic dome car through flag-befecked streets to the White House. Doctor's orders were that he was not to wave to his “neighbors” but could say a few words on landing. Mr. Eisenhower climbed a 20step fire escape stairway near his hospital room five more times yesterday to make sure he is in condition for his big moment. He passed his final medical examination at the hospital with flying colors. X-ray and fluoroscope pictures again showed no enlargement of the heart, particularly encouraging in view of his step-ped-up schedule of exercise in the last few days. The medical bulletins which have charted his steady progress (Continued,on Page Five) INDIANA WEATHER Partly cloudy tonight over north portion. Saturday mostly cloudy. Colder most of north portion.
