Mr.. Hagerty said he thought
it likely that Mr.. Eisenhower
would be in Key West for
about two weeks. although he
could not set any exact termi-

Fourth Rebellion In Argentina
 Since June 10
By SAM SUMMERLIN

BUENOS AIRES, Argentina, R Armed rebellion by army and navy units flared at three key centers in the interior of Ar gentina today. President Juan D. Peron'S government announced the revolts were rapidly" crush ed.
 This was the fourth reported plot aimed at upsetting Peron since the major revolt of June 16.
 The government also announc- ed that terrorist plot in Buenos Aires, the capital, had been smashed with the arrest of 100 civilians.
 The surrender of 300 rebel troops in Entre Rios province was announced.
 A state of siege-virtual mar tial law - was extended to the entire country. Previously this applied only to Buenos Aires.
 There was no official account of casualties from the revolt but it appeared that some bloodshed must have resulted.
 Peron had been scheduled to speak this forenoon to leaders of the General Confederation of Labor, the workers organization which is the backbone of the Peron regime An hour after the speech was scheduled for radio broadcast it had not been made.
 An air of quiet tension pre- vailed in the capital, where anti aircraft guns were mounted at strategic points, including Casa Rosada, the pink-colored building where Peron has his presidential headquarters.
 A government broadcast as- sured the nation that all was calm and "the situation has been to- tally dominated"

40 Ships In The Arctic Discharging Cargo Around The Clock In A Race
 To Beat Return of Winter Ice Pack

BARTER ISLAND, Alaska, LR Unloading operations on a vast convoy of Navy ships which dot the northern rim of the continent in this area continued at full speed today despite floating ice, zero visibility and sub-freezing cold.
 The ships are here with mater ials for the DEW line project being established as a protective radar system around the northern perimeter of North America.
 The icepack has receded from these shores after hugging close to the beaches all summer. Move ment of ships still is impeded, however, by small ice floes which dot the offshore waters.
 During the past few days, crews of the freighter Sailors Splice and the LIST 827 have been discharg- ing cargo to the beach on four small landing craft. Working around the clock, the men un- loaded 1,5OO tons of equipment in two days despite poor visibility.
 Tn recent days, a total of 31, ,000 drums of fuel and thousands of tons of equipment have been un- loaded onto the beach of this crowded island $50 miles east of Pt. Barrow in the Arctic Ocean The cargo from the Navy ships is being taken to the shore by 530 Army troops.

 They actually printed four or five spurious bills before the plot was discovered, said Draper's warden Burr Reeves.
 Because of lack of suitable ink and paper, the bills were too crude for the convicts to risk trying to pass them as money, he added.

Scientists of Arctic Institute Study
 Fish That Survives Freezing For
 Clue To Mans Resistance To Cold
By FRANK w. vA1LLE
ZAP speclal Washington servIce,


 WASHINGTON, tR-What per mits the fresh water blackfish to swim away unhafnpered after being encased in solid ice?
 It's one of more than 50 Arctic or sub-Arctic questions now being studied by science under grants from the Arctic Institute of North America-a little known organiz- ation devoted exclusively to the advancement of northern science.
 Housed in a second-floor corner of the grey stone Carnegie h. stitute Building near downtown Washington, the Arctic Institute is spending an average of $500,000 to $750,00O a year looking for the what and why of northern life.
 Although many of it's projects are couched in technical terms, the study of the blackfish meta 'bolism provides an example of institute financed research.
 Joseph T. Flakne, the Institutes programming director, hopes the sucker-like fish IT found only in Arctic lakes - may provide the key that will make humans more comfortable when exposed to sub zero cold.
 ''We know the blackfish can re- vive after freezing" he said in an interview. If the scientists at Catholic University Conducting the study can find out why, it may be possible to reproduce the same ability in humans through shots or pills"
 Also under consideration is a study - possibly less imaginative - of Arctic mushroom. F1akne sees in this a possible new north ern industry. In any event, it is information anxiously sought by the military in it's search for re- gional food sources.
