Peron Coerced Labor
Info Recalling Him,
IArgentinian Charges
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
BUENOS AIRES, Oct. 25.--A
Radical party spokesman charged
today that police coerced workers
into participating in the October II
demonstration which brought Col.
Juan Peron back to power and
denied that the laboring masses
support the Argentine strong man.
Carlos Cisneros. secretary of the
Radical party's National Commit
tee, said the mass appeal for Peron's
return was an exact reproduction
of the first popular demonstrations
by Fascism and the Falange."
Peron, long the power behind the
scenes in Argentina's military gov
ernment, resigned October at the
demand of an army faction led by
Gen. Eduardo Avalos, commander
of the powerful Campo de Mayo
garrison in suburban Buenos Aires.
He was placed under arrest. Eight
days later he returned from prison
and was cheered by large crowd in
the Plaza de Mayo.
Farrell Changes Plan.
President Edelmiro Farrell prompt
" announced that the groups en-
thusiasm had made him decide not
to hand over the government to the
Supreme Court, as had been antici-
pated. Peron greeted his restora-
ton to power with pledge that he
ri Inlt fa hi IN
of labor.
Cisneros said today that prepara-
tions for the Plaza de Mayo meeting
began long before the resignation
Of Peron and had complete official
aid, including trucks and other
means of transport and even gifts
Of food for the demonstrators at the
site of the meeting"
1T was not spontaneous" CiSne-
ros declared. 1T was prepared by
! the federal police and the Office OF
the labor secretary, which was con-
verted into a vast propaganda ma
chine on the Fascist model.
Many officials and police forced
workers in factories and unions to
leave their work and join the dem
onstration. They went so far as to
tear up railroad tracks, open valves
release steam and make threats with
arms"
Some Paid to Attend.
Cisneros asserted that Peron's
claims of half-million attendance
at the demonstration were an exag-
geration. The Radical party spokes-
man estimated that 10000 attended
nalf of them women and minors
and added that proof exists that
many of that number were paid tc
attend.

House:
"We are not attempting to smear

those scripts. You have the same
right.
