Fortunato Giovannani. 66. a retired officer, had been named "pnn’iaional president’" by th*’ rebels and foe "capital" of Argentina proclaimed by them a> San Luis. But foe revolt scarcely got off foe ground, and Gtovanntaw appeared with most of the rest of foe robels. including the “ministers" of his short-lived cabinet. Capture Radio Station TWe refoeht gained some successes in foe first few hours by arresting Gov. Alberto Domenicone of San Luis Province and some of his ministers. But they received no additional support and their most intense campaign was waged orally over the radio. The rebels captured a radio station in San Luu shortly before midnight, and announced they were staginglg coup "against foe Communist and Trotskyist government." They said they had formed a “national revolutionary movement” to free Argentina “from Communists and Peronists” —foe latter a reference to followers of deposed dictator Juan D. Peron But desperate radio appeals to other military garrisons to join the revolution failed and telephone contacts established by Gomez with foe commander of foe 4th Army diviaion in Cordoba produced nothing. All foe armed forces rallied to foe defense at foe Frondizi government, and the revolt was doomed to failure when it was unable to extend its influence to other areas. Loyalists Restore Government The revolution started at 11:03 Sunday night when the rebels seized foe LV 13 station, and ended at 5:40 am. today when the radio stopped broadcasting rebel pronouncements. Ten minutes later, Gov. Domenicone announced over foe same station that he had resumed power and that the situation was normal again. The government had estimated the rebel strength at about 400 men. Reports reaching here indicated at least some of them were captured. TT~ The reports said Col. Miguel Angel Montes, a loyalist officer, restored the provincial government and returned the governor to his office. “ The government had reported the uprising “practically liquidated" only a few hours after it started. Frondizi went to bed at four a.m. his plans to leave for Europe this afternoon unchanged. Secretary of War Gen. Rodolfo Larcher indicated the revolt had been bloodless. He said foe army would crush it, “fighting if necessary.” . The rebels seized the radio station in San Luis 50,0 miles west of Buenos Aires, and proclaimed retired Gen. Fortunato Giovannom provisional president. They claimed support from other garrison towns and captured the governor of San Luis Province. Limited to San Luis ; The_ government said the revolt was limited to San Luis city. Frondizi called his top military aides to bis heavily-guarded office for early-morning talks ana announced afterwards he would not postpone his departure this after-

Delay Opening Os Pool Until Tuesday The Decatur swimming pool, scheduled to open this afternoon, will not open until Tuesday be* cause the water has not yet reached the scum gutter, and debris from Saturday's rain cannot be cleared from the pool. Hubert Zerkey, Jr., pool manager, said this morning. i The manager stated that they began filling the pool last Friday, and that they expected it to be full bv Sunday evening, to allow a day to warm the water. However, for some reason. No. 1 wejl. used to fill foe pool, is not flowing as fast as last year. No leak in foe mains filling the pool has been discovered. The water is about four inches from the pool brim, and should reach the overflow about 5 o'clock this evening. The overflow should clear the scum and debris from the pool by tomorrow, permitting the opening of the pool. Hundreds of swimming-suit-clad youngsters were quite disappointed to find the pool not open at 1 pm today. Pool hours will be from 1 to 4:30 p.m. Mondaythrough Saturday, and 2 to 5 p.m. on Sunday, and in the eventags from 7 until 8:30 p.m. Monday through Friday.

Jap Socialists Deplore Rioting

TOKYO (UPI) —Indignation at the mob attack on White House Press Secretary James Hagerty swept Japan today and Prime Minister Nobusuke Kishi personally assumed command of security arrangements for President Eisenhower; A spokesman for the opposition Socialist Party, which has sought to cancel the Eisenhower visit and topple the Kishi government, denounced Friday’s demonstration although many Socialist members of Parliament were in the mob that attacked Hagerty’s car. “We regret such disgraceful action on the part of the demonstrators,” said the spokesman, Seiichi Katsumata. The Socialists said they would not go so far as to join a public welcome for Eisenhower but they would try to prevent any “deplorable” incidents. Japanese Newspapers Incensed Japanese newspapers were incensed and called the demonstration a national shame. A widely - read column in the mass circulation Asahi newspaper, which bitterly opposed the Eisenhower visit, said the mob scene was "a barbarous act that makes it impossible for us to show our faces in public before other nations.

Francisco Ortega. 22. Pureto Rico, who was visiting his brother at the hotel, was missing. Two other hotel guests previously believed to have been accounted for were placed on the missing Mst this morning. They were James Monceleone, 52. a steelworker who failed to report to tris job this morning, and Michael Sabo, whose relative* said he had not been seen sine* the fire.

great wrong” done to Hagerty is to welcome the President with open arms. Japanese moderates and rightwingers began laying plans for a massive turnout of crowds sympathetic to tile -Edited States and Eisenhower to counteract threatened violent demonstrations by leftwing extremusts. Plan Ike Welcome A group of prominent scholars and citizens, including the wife of the late Prime Minister Ichiro Hatoyama and former Tokyo University President Shigeru Nanbara, started a welcome Ik£ campaign. The official Eisenhower reception committee — composed of cultural, religious, social, financial and legislative organizations—predicted 200,000 would welcome Eisenhower on bis arrival. Nevertheless, the Imperial Palace announced that Eisenhower would be asked to ride the 12-mile route from the airport in a bulletproof closed car, not the open type which he has used on state visits to other countries. Kishi conferred for more than an hour today with Kanichiro Isiahara, state minister in charge of national security, to map out more stringent measures to protect Eisenhower.

Ike Starts On Tour Os Orient

' ANCHORAGE. Alaska 'UPI» — I President Eisenhower flew out of lAloska for the Orient today on the pecond log of a tour that will take mini to foe ancient island* at the I Far East and their multitude of iznth Century probk'cns. The President’* first Oriental port of call was Manila, metropolis of the Philippine republic, where a million or more Filipinos waited to give him a hearty welI come. President Eisenhower arrived at the rain-dampened air strip asI ter spending foe night at Elmendorf Air Force Base. With him was Lt. Gen. Frank J. Armstrong" Jr, commander of Alaskan mill-! tary forces. i They stood at attention in 50degree weather while a military | band played the national anthem and foe Marine Corps hymn The I President then inspected a comIpanv of air police as wei as the! [balnd. He chatted with Armstrong! whie he reviewed foe troops and | smiled broadly as he boarded the i plane. Undaunted by recent riots in Japan against foe U.S. - Japan security treaty, the President still was determined to go on to Tokyo. Luia Formosa and Okinawa, after this three days as guest at Philipi pines President Carlos P. Garcia. Grind Out Propaganda | Reports that Moscow and Peitpeing propaganda organs were enI counaging anti-Eisenhower demoni stratums caused no major changes in the President’s plans and for this he received accolades from the European press. “This man has guts,” said the London Daily Mirror. “We tip our hat because of his personal courage’.' said the West German newspaper “Neue Pres sc.” .. Some revisions in Eisenhower s Japanese schedule were under consideration by foe two governments, according to Press Secretary James C. Hagerty, but the basic plan of the visit beginning in Tokyo June 19 remained unchanged. Hagerty, however, may not be able to announce a detailed itinerary for Japan until shortly before the President prepares to leave the Philippines. Refuel at Wake Island En route from Alaska to the Philippines today, the President’s big silver and orange jet transport scheduled a refueling stop at Wake Island. The flight to Wake, the tiny dot of land in the Pacific that leaped into history during World War 11. is expected to take seven and one half hours. From Wake, the President has another tong overwater flight (over six hours) to Gtark Air Force Base in the Philippines where he will switch to a pro-neller-ipowered plane, the Columbine for a short hop into the Manila International Airport. American- and Imperial governmeht officials in Tokyo still were discussing revisions in the President's Japanese schedule wbi ch could be made without the overall concept of the visit and Still reduce the chances of embarrassing crowd incidents involving Eisenhower. Asked if there was any doubt about the President’s going to Tokyo, Hagerty told reporters Sunday night, “No, none that know of."
