ace putsch which also resulted in
the dropping of Presidential Sec
rotary Enrique Gonzalez.
The general impression of the
situation brought here by informed
travellers is that the reshaping OF
the cabinet still is not concluded.
From an analysis of often con-
fused reports received in Monte
video the impression grows that
the moving force behind Farrell S
assumption of executive power as
well as the previous cabinet crisis
is the younger officer group in
the Army.
Their visible leaders are said
to be Col. Filomeno Velazco, who
displaced Col. Emilio Ramirez as
the capital police chief just be-
fore Gen. Ramirez decided he
needed rest" and 1t. Col. Julio
Lagos, an aviation officer who
took charge of the post office and
communications.
These younger officers were
hostile to Argentina's rupture OF
relations with the Axis. They were
antagonistic to Gilbert and Coma
lez because those two men spon-
sored the rupture.
The younger officers also were
alarmed by last Wednesdays re-
ports that Gen. Ramirez was plan
ming to bring Gilbert and Coma
lez back into the government and
possibly adopt more liberal pro-
gram.

WALKOUT CLOSES
STEEL. FURNACES

PITTSBURGH, Feb. 26|R-At
least 20 blast furnaces and 80
open hearth furnaces in Monon-
gahela valley mills of Carnegie
Illinois Steel corporation were idle
tonight following the walkout OF
several hundred workers in the
huge Clarion coke works of the
firm, company spokesman said.
Five mills were affected by the
shutdowns, caused by lack of gas
which is piped from the by-product
division of the coke works for use
in furnaces and rolling mills. Sew
eral thousand men were made idle
by the closing of the operations,
the company said.
The strike started at midnight
last night when about 40 men,
members of the CIO-United Steel
workers of America, refused to
work because of a grievance over
line promotions in the coke works.
A part of the 8 a. m. shift report
ed, and by noon the coke works
was operating at so per cent of
capacity, but only q per cent of

Employment Practice, telegraphed
Clarion local officials to urge the
workers to return to their jobs.
At noon today the company said
that more than 5000 tons of coke
production had been lost.

minority members moved to Ill.
the gap left by the death OF
Charles L. McNary OF oregon
their leader since 1888.
Although all OF the Republicans
agreed that nothing official Will
be done until after funeral serv-
ices are held in Oregon Friday
for McNary, freshmen and
s.sophomore'' members appeared
determined to force the selection
of a successor pledged to put new
fight into the minority group
MANY Republican and Demo-
cratic colleagues will attend the
rites for the SO year old Oregon
senator who died yesterday in FIT.
Lauderdale, Fla, where he went
to recuperate from brain oper-
alton here last November.
There was talk, meanwhile,
among the more-newly elected Re-
publicans of casting off the re-
straints McNary often had I'M
posed and of electing an official
lineup which would 60 all out"
against the new deal.
This group, representing approx
imately IS of the present SO Re
publican members, had in mind
a slate like this:
Senator Vandenberg of Michi-
gan-himself young Turk dur
ing the late twenties-for chair
man of the minority conference,
a position carrying with it the au-
thority to name at least six OF
proposed nine member steering
committee which would determine
the pa-ty's stand on controversial
legislation.
Senator Taft of Ohio for floor
leader, job entailing active di-
rection of Republican maneuvers
in the Senate and in committees,
carrying with it the responsibility
of speaking for the party on major
issues.
Senator White of Maine for as
sistant leader, post to which he
already has been elected.
Senator Wherry of Nebraska
would remain as whip, charged
with having members present for
important roll calls, and Senator
Burton of Ohio as secretary of
the conference.
Vandenberg was elected vice
chairman of the conference, White
designated acting leader, and
Wherry and Burton named to the
two other offices at a meeting
last Thursday when McNary was
reelected l e d e r. The young
turks were in the saddle at that
meeting but Vandenberg made it
plain the lineup was only tenn
porary until such time as McNary
returned or it became apparent
that he could not do so. McNary's
death thus threw the question of
the leadership wide open again.
