They organized COON squads

so enjoys important personal sup port within the army.
 Peron has had plenty of reason to worry over his own standing with the military, and only few weeks ago was seeking Velazco's close collaboration in plan designed to meet army criticism. However, he gambled on his new friendship with the Colossus of the North" and busted Velazco. And, just to under score his motives, Peron named General Bertollo as chief of police in Velazco's stead
 This, of course, was adding insult to injury in the nationalists' eyes. As one of their youthful leaders commented:
 "Bertollo is renegade. We're watching him and Peron like hawks, and if this turns out to be the be- ginning of a full surrender to the United States. we'll fight it all the way-and I mean die fighting it, if necessary.

Pelhaps the most significant move made by President Peron in his entire career was the firing of anti US. Gen. Filomeno Velazco as chief of federal police and his replace ment by pro-US. Gen. Arturo Ber- tollo, former Argentine Military At tache in Washington.
 General Bertollo holds the "le- zion of merit" highest award the United States can give any foreign CT not chief of state, is also on close terms with many American Army officers. and in Argentina is regarded as very 'pro-Yanqi"

 Tho real motive behind the ilrst argument as expressed privately by various editors, legislators and prominent civic leaders, is fear that the debts incurred under the pro gram would give the United States an economic stranglehold on the entire hemissnere This attitud- is particularly marked among Argen- tines. whose conclusions can be summed up as follows:
 You people have never gotten to first base with us in regular business way. so now you hope to move in through the back door by getting us to mortgage ourselves for lot Of your surplus war goods"
 This point of view was formally expressed in resolution presented to the Argentine congress by the Radical party bloc, which opposed President Juan Peron and backed the supported candidate in last years elections. The resolution cited the alleged dangers to ma tional economy and sovereignty in herent in the arms plan and called on the government to have no part of it.
 Similar sentiments have been voiced by legislators in Uruguay and Chile. As for the second con- tention-that the United States is seeking to involve. Latin America in it's quarrel with Russia-the im- pression exists that nothing was done to push the armament project until relations between Washington and Moscow became severely strain ed.

SEATTLE, June 25.-tRl--Assert- ing the entire Olympic peninsula area is faced with isolation from Seattle. the Northwest Washington Community Council yesterday asked preliminary engineering survey for bridge-highway plan to span Puget Sound
 The plan was prepared by c. L. Newstrom, Harper engineer, and would cost an estimated Sl0,00O,000 to carry out.
 It envisions a four and a half mile floating bridge, similar to that over Lake Washington, from Faunt- leroy to Vashon Island; a new highway across the nine-mlle north ern tip of the island mile-long suspension bridge across East Pas sage from Vashon to a point south Of Harper, and new east-West highway across Kitsap County. The latter segment would cross the ex- isting Bremerton-Tacoma Highway.
