 TRADE PACT
Britain and Argentina Sign Five-Yedr Trade Agree
 ment What If Means

BUENOS AIRES, June 27-tR- Britain and Argentina signed a five-year trade agreement today thus ignoring United States ob- jections to the pact.
 The signing was done in the pre- sence of President Juan D. Peron, his wife and group of high off cials in the White Salon of Govern ment House
 Sir John Balfour, Britain's Am bassador to Argentina, and four Ministers who form the Argentine National Economic Council signed the Spanish and English copies.
 American businessmen believe the two-way pact will cut off one of their important South American markets. The United States claims the pact violates the spirit of free competitive international trade. American officials fear it might keep United States oil and farm machinery off the Argentine market.
 Under the agreement, Britain will supply the bulk of Argentina's irn- ports. These would range from much needed oil and coal to auto mobiles and in return, Britain would get from Argentina an esti- mated 100000 tons of meat plus cereals and other items.

7run1an's Housing BiU Gets House Actior
Five Times Premiere of
 Spain Dies

MADRID, Spain. June 27.-lR-- Alejandro Lerroux, 83, five times Premier of Republican Spain, died early this morning.
 The family announced that Ler- roux, who had proclaimed his az nosticism throughout his life, re- turned to the Catholic Church and received the sacrament on his deathbed. He will be buried in Madrids Catholic cemetery.
 Lerroux was reported ill in Lis bon, Portugal, in 1945. He had been in exil there since the civil war. In 1947, Generalissimo Franco gave him permission to return to Spain.
 A lifelong Republican he had been exiled several times by King Alfonso XIII. Each time he re- turned, his power as chief of the radical Republican party grew greater.
 Lerroux was as stIuns.y opposed to Socialism and Communism as he was to the monarchy, and for this reason, left-wing groups prevented his election as President of the Republic after the throne was over turned in 1881.
 Five times, however, he was nam ed Premier tc try to run Spain on a middle of -the-road basis.
