The Waterbury Democrat., 1945-10-17

The packing houses, which are the InGin industry of La Plata and Avellaneda, were closed tight all day. today. All transportation lines In both towns were suspended.
 Reports from the affected areas said the police. most of them Peron appolntees, were making no effort to stop the disorders but merely were cautioning the rioters to take it easy" Unconfirmed reports said the police in some districts were joining the demonstrations.
 Meanwhile, the political sItua- ton was confused further by Q report that another army man would succeed Peron as vice-presi- dent.
 Attorney. General Juan Alvarez nevertheless went ahead with his plans to submit c list of civilians for cabinet ministries to President Gen. Edelmiro Farrell either today or tomorrow. They were expected to be sworn In tomorrow.
 The newspaper El Mundo said Gen. Eduardo Avaios, leader of the coup which overthrow Strong man" Peron last week as vice.presldent, war minister and labor minister, would assume the vice-presldency. He already holds the war portfolio.
 Avalos. Farrell and vice admiral Hector Vernengo Lima, the present Navy minister, authorized Alvarez to I'll the remaining ministries with civilians. but apparently purposeiy made no mention of q successor to Peron aS vice-preSldent.
 Thus the military would retain the presidency and the two defense ministries while yielding police powers and Jurisdiction over elec- tions to Alvarez, proposed interior minister.
 PerOn Not Arrested
 It originally had been theorIzed that a civilian would be appointed vice. president and that Farrell would resign in his favor.
 Two other factors added to rising u1easineSs in the capital was that Peron had not been arrested after all, but merely had been taken into custody for his own protection and presumably may be released at any time.
 The other was an announcement by the Buenos Aires University council that 1t would not resume It's activities until police cease shadow- ing its members.
 The strong Socialist party fol- lowed the lead of the Union Civica Radical party last night in dee nouncing the plan to form a new government on grounds that 1t still would be under the military clique that originally put Peron in power.
 Any change would be a change in name only" the Socialist said. They demanded a complete purge of all Peron clements in the govern. Inents and called on Farrell to turn his powers over to the supreme court.
 Alvarez was seeking to offset criti- cism by telling prospects for the civilian cabinet that all civilian members would resign jointly should Farrell, AvaloS or Vernengo Lima publicly oppose their decisions.
 Authoritative sources believed AL varez would ask Farrell to approve the following cabinet of civilians with himself as interior minister:
 Justice minister-Jorge Eduardo Coll, former education minister, or pr. Bernardo Houssay, professor at Buenos Aires University and world- renowned phySiolOgist.
 Foreign TaiiTiister-Cr. jose Maria Cantilo, former foreign minister and ambassador to Italy.
 Agriculture minister - Octavio Amadeo, a conservative landowner.
 Public works minister-Carlos Herrero, a jurist.
 Finance minister--Alberto Hueyo.
 Avalos would retain his present post of war minister and Vernengo Lima, his present post as navy mirl- ister.
 No One Mentioned
 No one yet has been mentioned as a possible vice-president, the post from which Peron was busted last week. However, it was be- lieved one might be appointed to succeed Farrell once the civilian cabinet has been installed.
 Col. Emilio Ramirez was appoint ed Buenos Aires police chief yes- terday to succeed acting chief Col. Aristobulo Mittelbach on demand of democratic elements.
 Peron's influence still had not been stamped out completely. Ills labor supporters called a strike which cut of transport. light and water service in T1cuInan Province In northern Argentina.
