days later, on May Is, gave him
self up to the protective custody
of FBI agents.
The seven defendants are charg-
ed with conspiracy to break
and enter a Jail, and with break
ing and entering a jail with intent
to kill or injure Bush. Each OF the
two charges carries a maximum
of IS years imprisonment.
IF probable cause is found
against the defendants in connec-
ton with the hearing" the gov
ernor has said, they will be bound
over to a grand jury in an adjoin-

BUDAPEST, Sept. 1 -R-The
Hungarian government admitted
tonight there were abuses in Sum-
days parliamentary elections,
but said they did not affect the
outcome in which the Communists

In reply to charges of fraud
some voiced by the allies of the
Communists - a statement by
Ivan Boldiszar, official of the
ministry of information, said "the
minister Of interior does not deny
there were abuses but they were
very few and had NO influence on
the outcome at ALL"
The statement, given cut at a

most" there were 20, 1000 "abuses"
in which voters had documents
which entitled them to cast a bal
lot outside their legal residences.

Seaport City
Revolt Against Mancheno,
Ecuador Dictator Spread
ing Rapidly

QUITO, Ecuador, Sept 1 -WD-
Junior Army officers today seized
control Of Guayaquil, Ecuador's
biggest city and chief seaport, in
a spreading counter revolt against
Col. Carlos Mancheno, the new
dictator-president who himself
grabbed power from the constitu-
tional government only nine days
ago.
The garrison at Tulcan seized
that city and the Army air base
near the Colombian frontier and
sent planes to drop leaflets over
Quito, the capital, rejecting the
Mancheno government.
Throughout the provinces the
situation was confused as the
counter-revolt spread.
In the first hours of the revolt,
the rebels had seized Rio Bamba
Ecuador's fourth city, and the
towns of Ambato and Guaranda.
The revolt had now spread to
Guayaquil, on the Southwest
coast; Tulcan, in the far North,
and to Rio Bamba, Ambato and
Guaranda in the center.
Both the government and the
counter-rebels claimed a victory
in the first real clash at Ambato, on
the Quito uayaquil railroad 60
miles south of the capital.
Mancheno Claims
Col. Mancheno's forces here
said that they had made contact
with the rebels at Yambo, near
Ambato, defeated them in Skin
mishes, and then entered Ambato.
But the rebels said that they
won the victory-which would
mean they had possession OF the
main North-South railroad at
a key point midway between Quito
and Guayaquil, not far from 2C,7OO
foot Mt. Chaimborazo.
Mancheno had been rushing
troops Southwark over the rail-
road, and Observation-Disclosures
had been tearing up the tracks
in their path.
Information here said that Col.
Ernesto Villacis commanded the
government troops in the Ambsto
area, a key position, and that
Col. Angel Baquero Davila COM
manded the rebels.
A communique issued by the
Junior officers who took control In
Guayaquil said that they would
support the constitution-mean1ng
they were loyal to President Jose
Maria Velasco Ibarra; whom Man.
cheno sent into exile Aug. %
and that they had taken the
Unnecessary measures" to-counter-
act any surprise.
Officers Disarmed
These measures, it was disclos-
ed, included disarming the senior
officers and putting them under
guard.
The Junior officers said they ex-
nected a tank unit .arriscned at
San Antonio, in Eastern Ecuador
on the other side of the Andes,
to join them.
# was aided that the senior Of
f,cars including the military COM
mandant Of the Guayaquil area,
had promised not to interfere with
