In Argentine Politics
After AvaIos Gets Job

B. the Associated Press.
BUENOS AIRES, Oct. IL
Brig. Gen. Eduardo AvaloS, COM
mander of the powerful Campo
de Mayo garrison, took over the
Argentine War Ministry today as
the power behind the military
government, but there were in
dications that Col. Juan Peron
remained strong factor in the
political situation, although he
has been divested of his cabinet
status.
Only a few hours after the gov
ernment had accepted Col. Peron's
resignation as Vice President, Wal
Minister and Minister of Labor and
Social Welfare, he delivered a
speech last night to an enthusiastic
crowd in which he pledged the re-
mainder of his life "to the cause
of the working man."
Cries of Our PRESIDENT" came
from the cheering throng which
gathered outside the Secretariat OF
Labor to hear the iron mans
speech, which was broadcast ma
tionally.
(Col. Perons speech was in
terpreted in some Latin-Ameri-
can quarters as inaugurating his
campaign. for President in the
April general elections.
Urged Calm and Order.
Col. Peron declared that during
his tenure of Office the interests OF
labor had been raised to the high
est levels in the nations history
and added: Our fight is just. 1t
will win out whether it takes a year
or 10 years"
He counSelled his followers, how
ever, to maintain calm and order.
Remain united. avoid agitation
and disorder he said. This type
of battle is won not with violence
but with intelligence and organiza-
ton
Gen. Avalos, leader of the actual
fighting which put Col. Peron in a
position of power in the 1943 revo-
luton. was designated as War Min
lister last night. AS the army spokes-
man in the government he now is
the real power behind the military
regime of President Edelmiro Farrell
The first acts of the government
under Gen. Avalos' domination in
Icluded the closing of a half dozen
newspapers, which apparently had
rejoiced too freely when Col. Peron
stepped down, and naming to key
government posts of two men who
have been friendly to Peron in the
past.
Rumors Siege May Be Lifted.
There were rumors that the state
of siege which was reimposed on the
nation September 26 following ar
abortive uprising against the mill
tary regime might be lifted, bui
these could not be confirmed.
Two others besides Gen. Avalos
were named yesterday to key cabi-
net posts formerly held by Peron
supporters.
Commodore Edmundo Sustaita
was appointed secretary of aero
nautics replacing Brig. Gen. Barto-
lone de la Colina; Col Aristobulo

wrote that he told the Generals

Chang had said one Chinese soldier

Peters quoted Chang as saying.
The United States soldier is much
better equipped. I hold much ad-
miration for the great accomplish
mentS of the American soldiers.
THE point I wanted to bring out
was that. where it takes $40 for one
United States soldier, only 81 is nee
eSSary for ours.
I'VE must remember the Chinese
soldier is fighting in his own home
land. He knows the topography
better than any one else. He is
more suitable to the climate and

ARMY ERROR CONFESSED

A RMY OFFIClALDOM has confessed its error
in the sentencing to death Of Private Henry p
Weber by successvely reducing the sentence unit
it now stands at five years Imprisonment AS Sen
ator Burton X. Wheeler, who assailed the savage
and barbarous first sentence, said, developments
in the case justified his scathing criticism of the
original sentence.
After Senator Wheeler and Rep. Savage OF
Washington directed the attention Of Congress
and the nation to the death sentence imposed for
refusal to take part in military drill at Camp Rob
erts Calf, the trial court itself rescinded the
death penalty and decreed life at hard labor. Then
the commanding officer at Camp Roberts reduced
the sentence to 20 years. The record next sent
to Washington, where Major-General Myron c.
Cramer, Army Judge Advocate General cut the
sentence to five years
Told Of Cramers decision Wheeler commented
he still did not know all the facts in the case but
that five years seemed to him, unless there
are circumstances that have not been brought to
his attention. Many will agree with him.
Weber is d member Of the Socialist Labor
party which opposes capitalist" war. He ex-
planned he was opposed to killing people but would
serve in nOn-combatant duty. His scrupes were
not based on religious grounds which the Seec-
tive Service law recognizes. and apparently the
army gave him no opportunity TO serve a non
combatant.
The whole case reflects no credit on the mill
tary system and will hardly be an argument for
imposing permanent military conscrption on the
American people.
