LOnardi Makes
 Triumphal Entry Into BuenOs Aires

BUENOS AIRES, R-Maj. Gen. Eduardo Lonardi made triumph al entry into Buenos Aires today to take control of the provisional government of Argentina on be- half of the victorious rebels.
 The airfield in suburban Paler- mo was tightly guarded by troops and police armed with machine guns. A red carpet was rolled out for Lonardi. Thousands of citi- ems crowded around the airport limits, cheering wildly and way ing flags. The military guards held them back firmly but made no move to dampen their enthusi- aSm.
 The planes which accompanied Lonardi from Cordoba were fresh ly painted with a huge W for vic- tory and with the CrosS-a re- hinder that the feud was caused in part by President Juan D. Peron's fued with the Roman Catholic Church.
 Before leaving Cordoba, Lonar- di spoke of the possibility Peron might be brought to trial.
 "We want to make it impossible for him to again damage the country Lonardi told a news conference. Tn case he is brought to trial, the president will pre- sent himself as any other Argen- tine and enjoy all the guarantees and rights established in the con- stitution."
 He did not expand on the possi- bility of a trial, but if this took place it would be on criminal charges. The asylum granted to Peron by Paraguay would prevent his arrest as political prisoner.
