BUENOS AIRES, Dec. 17-Hipo-
Ito Irigoyen and Marcelo t. De AL
year, former presidents, and several
other political leaders were under
arrest today as the government
planned virtual martial law to pre-
vent a widespread revolt.
The government planned to de-
clare state of SIEGE which left
control with the military, but called
for trial of civilians in civil courts
rather than in military courts.
The revolt plans, which included
the kidnapping of President 'Augustin
Justo, we're discovered through the
accidental explosion of bomb al
a private residence.
Police said the rebels had trans
formed the home into bomb fac
tory Approximately 1900 bombs
were seized.
Irigoyen, 81 years old, is the for
mer strong man" of Argentina. He
was overChrown by revolt in 1880
after governing as one of the most
absolute rulers in South America.
Ask State of Siege
Alvear preceded him in Office. The
two ex-presidents were among the
half a hundred political leaders
who, it was reported, might be ban
ished to TERRA Del Fuego, the bleak,
desolate territory at the southern
most tip of the continent. The
politicians were all members of the
radical party.
The government decided to ask
congress today to authorize a state
of siege.
National Democrats, holding a
parliamentary majority, assured
President Justo of their loyalty,
making it probable that the gov
eminent would be able to enact
whatever restrictive measures it de-
sired.
Planned Terror Reign
Although the government denied
that army officers were associated
with the politicians arrested, a
police communique reproduced doc
uments allegedly found in the pos
session of Lieutenant Colonel Cat
taneo.
One of the documents outlined
the best way. to carry out reign
terror in Buenos Aires and kidnap
the president. Police charged that
the rebels planned to bomb police
attachments nearest the president
home.
Another document gave the list
of the leading plotters in the
provinces, and explained how to
keep them informed of progress of
the movement.
A third was signed civil chief of
the revolution in the federal cap
ital."
Death was threatened to persons
opposing the revolution, with sup
preston of newspapers not sub

police charged.
One of the papers found in the
