AUT0IST DRIVES
TWO HOURS BUT

Somewhere in Imperial Valley
there Is a motorist who knows to =
moral certainty where the longest
road in the world is.
This enterprising individual was
driving on the Brawley highway a
couple of nights ago when he mo-
mentarily wandered from the
straight and narrow. According to
the story told by deputy sheriffs,
he had been in conference with the
cup that cheers. Somewhat vaguely,
the motorist noted a crashing noise.
There seemed to be some impedi'
ment in the path of his car. Then
the road was clear again, and he
drove on. He drove and drove. In
fact, he drove foi two full hours
without sighting / house.
Attendants at the county fair
grounds race track heard a crash
during the early hours of the morn.
Ing, then heard al. automobile rae
inc round and round the track
Puzzled, they called the sheriff.

When deputy arrived the motor
ist was still driving. He was
stopped and questioned as to his
destination. The only thing he knew
for sure was that he was trying to
get somewhere.
"This is the longest blankety-
blank road / ever saw he told
deputies.
He had crashed through the film

ARGENTINE HAS
CONFIDENCE In
new EXECUTIVE
Quick Action In Stopping
Counter Revolt Seen AS
Sign OF Strength
BY WILLIAM FOLGER
United Press Staff CorreSponden

Copyright, 1880, by United Press)
BUENOS AIRES, Sept. 10. U.P)-
A growing confidence in the new
Argentine governments ability to
maintain and foster national prosper
ity was apparent on all sides today.
The quick and decisive action
with which Gen. Jose +. Uriburu
met the situation arising from Mon
day nights street fighting seems
TO have allayed many fears. 1t was
felt everywhere that the govern
ment had come through its first
test of strength successfully.
With score of influential fol
lowers OF former president Hipolito
Irigoyens under arrest and govern
mcnt troops maintaining tranquil
ity, the capital regarded the pos
sibility of strong counter revolu-
mote, and today's newspapers pre-
dicted an early return to normally.
Forging ahead with new policies,
the government revealed that the
first question it will take up will
be that of appointing an ambassador
to the United States, thus filling a
vacancy of several years standing.
The government has pledged its
word to bring a constitutional rcgi-
me back to Argentina as soon as
possible. Meanwhile. however, mar
tial law must continue, to guar
antee the peace of the city.
No Executions
Despite rumors to the contrary,
there were no known executions OF
government enemies in Bucnos Aires
yesterday.
Among the prominent public lead
crs of the old regime who were un-
der arrest were IS members of the
former house of deputies and one
senator. In the group also was
Angel Milinari, purported leader of
the klan radical. Il group of lri-
goyen's most ardent supporters.
Meanwhile Irigoycn, once the
idol of the people, remained con
fined to his room in the Officers
quarters at the seventh infantry
barracks in La Plata, attended by
his personal physician and a body
guard. 1t was reported from La
Plata that he would be PLACED
aboard the cruiser Bclgrano ano
taken to the military port Of Bahi;
Blanca. What attitude the govern
mcnt viii take toward him, after
his arrest, was speculative.
General Justos said the only per
sons subject to summary court mar
tial were those caught lOoting or
those found in possession OF arms
belonging to the government.
