Conservatives
Win Election
In Argentina

BUENOS AIRES, Argentina,
April 81 (AP).-The Demo-
cratic Conservative Party
won a surprise victory in pro-
vincial elections in Mendoza
yesterday over the Intransigent
Radical forces of President Ar
turo Frondizi.
The government party came
in third on the basis of nearly
complete returns in election of
deputies to the provincial leg
islature and municipal councils.
The Democratic Party polled
84,403 votes, followed by the
Peoples Radical Party with TO-
LOT, Mr.. Frondizi's Intransigent
Radicals with 52,765, Commu-
nistS 34,1i5, Socialists 1921
and Labor 9,255.
A total of 72.136 blank bal
lots were cast. These appar-
entity were from Peronistas who
thus seemed to rank in second
place.
Mr.. Frondizi in recent months
has been pushing an auSterity
program that has caused a
wave of strikes. In an address
next Friday on the first ami
versary of his Inauguration he
is expected to warn that the
country must endure sacrifices
for at least two more years to
get on a sound economic basis.

Isolation Termed Fatal
Mr.. Eisenhower. in appealing
to the 1000 businessmen and
their guests to push the foreign

asked $50 million in the fiscal
year starting July /, said, "Iso-
lation for America is a futile
and fatal policy" He said,
TThe interests Of the free
world are the interests Of
America"
He said that every detection
of an uncommitted country to
the Communists adds new re-
sources to the Soviet cause and
subtracts strength from the
free world.
He told the businessmen to
spread the gospel of mutual
aid among the free nations
to prevent what he called
the catastrophe of Soviet
domination.

ferent assessment Of the imme-
date problem but also such
basic things as the possibility of
natural survival in the event of
nuclear war.
In short, while an agreement
on tactics now seems probable
enough, the real disagreement
that divides the West goes far
beyond the immediate tactical
problem. And far beyond the
power of any group of foreign
ministers to repair it in a few
days.
Since the disagreement itself
is not even supposed to exist,
its causes have scarcely been
explored in the course of the
current debate. Attention has
been conferred on the symp-
toms: The querulous exchanges
between London and Bonn, the
agitation over provocative"
American flights in the Berlin
corridor, the outcry about
"meddling American generals,
arguments over "disengage-
ment" and so on.
Such tentative exploration
as has been made has not gone
very far. Words like flexibility
or appeasement are not par
ticularly valuable in explaining
the differences that have de-
veloped between Britain and
her Atlantic partners. And the
easy solution of explaining the
whole problem in terms of per-
sonalities - the wishful guilt
bility of one leader as opposed
to the senile obstinacy OF an
other-is not especially con-
An effort has been made, to
be sure, to prove that these
leaders have been motivated by

Thus. if Prime Minister Mac
milan is more flexible than
most in his approach to the
coming negotiations it is be-
cause he faces elections within
a few months. And by the same
token. if Chancellor Adenauer
is not, it is because Of his con-
Germ over the vote in 1861.
Such explanations have the
virtue of being simple and COM
forting. II the causes Of allied
disunity are really superficial
and temporary, there is moth
ing very serious to worry about.
In time the causes will disap-

Reds DenyKnowIedge
OF Secret Cargo Plane

LONDON, April 81 (AP)-
The Soviet Union says it knows
nothing about a big British
freighter plane missing near
Russian territory with IL men
and secret equipment aboard.
The Russians yesterday de-
MED knowledge of the four-en-
CINE Avro Tudor which dis
appeared over mountainous
East Turkey Thursday. British
officials speculated that foul
weather had forced the air
craft into Soviet Georgia or
Armenia.
Soviet jet fighters forced
down a United States Air Force
transport in the same area last
June.
A supply minister said the
British aircraft carried Ger
tain classified items" for the
British rocket range in AUS
tralia. He refused to be more
specific.
The plane was owned by a
London charter firm. It's chair
man said he could not rule out
the possibility that the plane
had strayed into Russia, but
we must assume it is down in
the mountains"
The planes last reported po-
sition came from over Mus,
Turkey, during its flight from
Ankara to Bahrein on the Per-
sian Gulf.
United States, Turkish and
Iranian aircraft joined British
planes in the search.

found the CLINT of steel. They
don't believe he will be a soft
touch in negotiations with the
Russians.
One possible liability remains
in the Democrats estimate of
the Herter stewardship-they
are uncertain how strongly
President Eisenhower will back
up his new Secretary of State.
They wonder If Mr.. Dulles will
remain the final word.
But. as one of them said,
all they can do is wait and see.
In advance of Mr.. Herter's
departure for Paris, Senators
Of both parties expressed OPP
timism that some agreements
will be reached there and at
the East-West talks in Geneva.
Senator Fulbright said he
thinks it may be possible to
reach some working agree
mentS with the Soviets on Ber-
lin.
But I don't think there is
going to be any sudden solution
to our problems" he added.
1--WE may not be able to &C
complish anything but I have
no patience with the people
who say we ought not even to
try.
Senator Mansfield of Mon
tana, assistant Democratic
leader, said in a separate in
terview he thinks some results
may be accomplished. But he
said the West should not set
its hopes too high.
Senator Morton Of Kentucky,
Republican National Chairman,
expressed confidence that Mr..
Herter will pick up where Mr..
Dulles left off in the direction
of foreign policy.
"It's IDEAL" Senator Morton
said. Hes been working closely
as an architect of this policy
along with Dulles. He's been
part of the whole structure
since he's been there and,
him as we do, I feel
sure that he will have the drive
and force and the f1rmneSs
which will be required in this
operation"
