Senators Delay
On Reserve Bill
Await House Action,
Draft Is Extended
BY J. A. oLEARY

The Senate Armed Services
Committee again postponed con-
sideration of the administra-
tion's military manpower re-
serve program today, after re-
ceiving word that the House will
make another effort to pass the
bill.
Meanwhile, a four-year extern
sion of the draft system is on
its way to a joint conference
committee after speedily passing
the Senate last night.
The draft bill passed the
House in February, but must go
to conference on several Senate
changes, including a. two-year
extension of the special draft
provisions applying to doctors
and dentists. Under the Senate
bill doctors may be drafted up
to the age of SO.
May Be Called Later
The age limits for the regular
draft are from Is to 26, except
that men who are deferred may
be called later up to age IS.
Indications this morning were
that the Senate Armed Serv.
ices Committee was on the verge
of taking a formal vote against
hearings at this time on the
reserve program.
But Chairman Russell said &C.

sion here today with an expected
overall roundup Of the three
day exercise led by President

Peterson Notes Improvement
In a final statement to the
press on the exercise known as
Operation Alert" Mr.. Peterson
said marked improvement in
civil defense effectiveness was
shown over a similar test a year
ago although the country is still
"a long way from satisfactory
Ioperational readiness.
He said the test showed evac-
uation would save many lives in
an attack. In the mock assault
on American cities, the admins
traitor added, evacuation in 35
Iof them would have prevented
5 million casualties.
One Of the surprises indicated
by the test, Mr.. Peterson said,
was the large number suppos-

the figure at Is million, sub

been previously announced

After Revolt

MONTEvIDEO. Uruguay. June
II G. man Catholic
churches in Argentina were at.
tackled by rioters climaxing yes
terday's revolt against the re-
|gime Of President Juan D.
Peron.
This was confirmed indirectly
today by Gen. Peron himself. In
Ia broadcast to his countrymen,
he blamed Communists for dep
relations against the churches
and counseled priests to obey po-
lice orders.
He promised the government
will not allow any further depre-
|dationts against churches. He
gave no details, but unconfirmed
reports reaching Montevideo had
lit that six or seven churches in
|BuenoS Aires had been set afire.
Gen. Peron spoke to Argen-
tines by radio for 13 minutes at
noon. This followed up a SINH
lar broadcast last night in which
he announced the revolt was
over, that the navy was respon-
sible for it. and that Argentina
was under a state of siege. The
broadcasts were monitored here.
40 Planes in Attack
In today's speech he expressed
condolences to relatives of those
who died. in yesterdays air at
tacks by about 40 planes which
struck mainly the Government
House. This rambling building
in the Plaza de Mayo in central
Buenos Aires houses the prin-
|cipal government offices, includ.
ing Gen. Peron's own.
Fleeing naval and air officers
have taken refuge in this coun-
try bordering Argentina.
There was no reliable estimate
Of the total casualties in Buenos
Aires or other parts of Argen-
tina, but they were unquestion-
ably heavy.
At the time Gen. Peron spoke
today direct communications
with Buenos Aires had been
blacked out for Is hours.
Gen. Peron promised justice
will be meted out to those who
tried to stage the coup against
him. but declared all this will be
done under the law. Practically
all due process of law is sus-
pended in Argentina under the
state Of siege.
Seeks to Blame Priests
Gen. Peron sought to blame
Roman Catholic priests as in
part responsible for the start Of
the rebellion. He has been seek
ing for seven months to curb
powers of the church in Argen-
tina. Yesterday, just before the
revolt began, he was excom-
municated by the Vatican.
Gen. Peron declared he is q
Catholic and not against re-
Iligion. and advised Catholics Of
his nation to await a referen-
dunn on his proposal to sepa-
rate the church from the state.
Gen. Peron said the revolt
obviously was directed against
him personally, since the air
bombings and ground attacks
center on Government House
(the Casa Rosada, or Pink
House,.
He added he had learned be-
Iforehand, through intelligence
sources, what was in store, and
had left the Government House.
Commercial connections were
cut late yesterday after Gen.
IPeron proclaimed the attempt to
Iunseat his regime had been put
down.
Save for broadcasts of the
State radio, the nation was iso.
lated from the outside world.
Severe Measures Taken

hooked up to Buenos Aires,

Farewell 10 Priest
Expelled by Russia

MOSCOW, Mar. 5.-The Rev.
Georges Bissonnette. American
Roman Catholic priest expelled
by the Soviet Union, left Moscow
today by plane.
Hundreds of foreigners sta
toned in the Russian capital
waved a fearful farewell.
The 33-year-old priest from
Central Falls, r. l., headed for
Helsinki, Finland, where he will
await further orders from cleri-
cal authorities. He said he ex-
poets to be in the Finnish cap
ital for two or three weeks.

Ambassadors from the United
States, Britain, France and Can
ada were among the throng
which damned the waiting room
at Vnukova Airport. Later they
streamed onto the runway, &C
companying the priest right to
the plane.
Soviet police cancelled Father
BlSSonette'S visa Wednesday
without giving a reason. Under
the terms of the expulsion he
must be across the Soviet border
by midnight.
The priest was the only pas
senger aboard the twin-engined
Soviet airliner.
The United States Government
has protested that the expulsion
violates an agreement of the 1888
Roosevelt-Litvinoff pact signal
ing American recognition Of
Soviet Russia.

Moscow diplomats specialized
that the expulsion of Father Bis
sonnette-only American clergy
man in Moscow-was in retalia-
ton for the refusal of the United
States Government last week to
let the Metropolitan Boris of the
Russian Orthodox Church extend
the visit he has been making to
the United States.
Last night United States Am
bassador and Mrs. Charles E.
Bohlen gave a farewell party for
Father Bissonnette. Most of the
