AdenoUer Cancels
Visits This Year
TO Latin America

BONN, Germany, Feb. "a. (UP)
Official spokesman announced to-
day that Chancellor Konrad AIDE
nauer has cancelled his projected
state visits this year to seven
South American countries, because
of the national and international
situation. They added, however,
that the Chancellor hopes to be
able to take advantage of the in
vitations next year. They also said
the respective governments have
been informed about the ~cancella-
ton.
The spokesman added that pre-
parations for an East West sum-
nit conference, the ''tense inter-
national situation" and internal
difficulties in West Germany,
where socialist are opposed to a
plan to establish a free zone for
nuclear weapons in Europe, are
among the reasons Adenauer had
to cancel his visits.
Among the countries he was
scheduled to visit were Brazil, Ar
gentina, Chile, Paraguay, Uruguay,
Venezuela and Peru.
Adenauer's doctors have advised
against this week-long trip because
neither the climate nor the high
altitude flights would be benefi-
cial to the ailing chancellor's
health. Officials said that it may
therefore be also for reason of
health that Adenauer had to can
eel his plans although he himself
would very much like to go.

E. Aramburu, congratulated Artu,
70 Frondizi, Radical-Intransigent
Party candidate, for his landslide
victory in yesterdays elections,
with which Government recogni-

At the same time, Aramburu
invited Frondizi to the Govern
ment House tonight, to be present
when the President speaks to the

place as half of the votes had been
counted, giving Frondizi 3,961,40O
and Ricardo Balbfn, of the Peo-
pies Radical Party 2,560,665.
An anti-C Communist and anti-Pe-

elect in the first free elections in
thirty years. Despite the fact that
he once ran for Vice President
against a Per6n ticket and is an
avowed anti-communist, he receiv-

Five feet nine inches tall with

In the United States, Argentine

1t was generally recognized that
