Associated Press Foreign Correspondent
BUENOS AIRES, June 49,
This is how Argentina's revo-
luton began:
Like a graceful bird, q plane
came out Of the gray sky over
head.
People sauntering along this
cosmopolitan capitals streets
gazed upward.
Then boom!
The ground rumbled. Walls
quivered.
The crowd around me was be-
wildered for a moment. Then
panic swept through the streets
The bloodiest revolution in re-
cent Argentine history was un.
derWay.
Bombs From the Sky
I was walking beside Metro
politan Cathedral Thursday
strolling to the nations pink
house"-the governments Ca
sada Rosada where President
Peron has his offices-when the
bombs began falling.
Two more booms. Two more
explosions.
We now realized these were
bombs falling from that plane
In the sky.
I ran up the street behind
the cathedral toward the quaint
looking pink house.
People crouched. hugging the
gray stone walls of buildings as
trucks loaded with men in khaki
whipped by. These were the at
tackers.
The trucks screeched to q
halt behind government house
Troops scampered out, rifles
raised. They raced four abreast
down the avenue toward US.
The crowd retreated around
the corner to keep out of gun
fire range.
Guns cracked. There were
screams, yel1s, more gunfire.
One man in the crowd fell to
the pavement. Friends grabbed
him shouting "ambulancia
ambulancia" (ambulance).
Battle RACES Two Hours !.
Then soldiers dashed across
the wide boulevard and into the
side entrance Of the pink house
to reinforce government guards
inside. Black smoke spiraled up
from the explosions.
The battle ragged for nearly
two hours. Civilians trying to
scamper across streets surround
ing the pink house dropped,
caught in the crossflre.
A woman wearing Peronista
pin on her black overcoat
st1rieked that she wanted to help
fight.
A man seized her, blurting
"You aren't armed"
But scores of others, also un-
armed, crowded around the pink
house, shouting "Peron. Peron,
nesting In corners and behind
columns.
Two tanks rolled up through
the plaza. They were greeted with
cheers. Their machine guns
spurted.
Planes Bomb Again
Crowds Of Peronista labor fol-
lowers swarmed toward the at
tacking forces. They carried
Argentine flags. Some civilians
had rifles.
The force converged on the
glass front of navy headquar-
tiers, three blocks away. Victory
seemed in government hands.
But out of the gray sky again
roared rebel planes in new
surprise raid on Government
House.
Bombs splattered death and
destruction.
This was the terrifying mo-
ment when most people died.
Panic spread again. Police
swarmed in, routing the crowds
