PUNTA DEL ESTE, Uru-
quay, Aug. IL. - The revolt
scare in Buenos Aires today
sent tremors through this spe-
cial Inter-American Confer
ence on President Kennedy's
Alliance for Progress.
Reports of the revolt caused
a wave of uneasiness until il
was announced that the up
rising had failed. But the
BuenoS Aires uprising under
lined the urgency of United
States proposals to cure Latin
Americas economic and social
Ills.
Delegates did not interrupt
their deliberations here, but
they obviously were aware that
attempted revolts such as the
unsuccessful Argentine cour
could touch off similar upris-
ings in the troubled Southern
Hemisphere.
just last Thursday, the chief
United States delegate, Treas
ury Secretary Dillon visited
Buenos Aires to discuss with
President Frondizi the broad
aspects of the United States
program.

While awaiting news from

The Argentine delegation has

Commission Powers in Dispute
The controversy is over the
composition and powers of a
proposed hemisphere develop

backed by the United States

Still Want Revenge
Those who tried to unseat
the regime by the Algiers revolt
of January. 1860, and April
1861, still thirst for revenge.
Many of their leaders are still
at large. Probably most of the
Europeans in Algeria, feeling
they now have little to lose, are
ready to back them in a last,
desperate throw.

PARIS. Aug. 12.-President
Charles de Gaulle'S government
this year regards the mid
August holiday season much as
Julius Caesar once regarded
the ides of March.

Some Fear Assassination
And-with Gen. de Gaulle as
the main obstacle to the sue
cess Of rightist plans-they fear
for his life.
The lofty, disdainful Presi-
dent as usual gives no public
sign that anything could be
wrong with the serenity of his
regime. Two days ago he started
his usual vacation at his coun-
try retreat of Colombey-Les-
Deux-Eglises, 100 miles from
Paris.
But in the capital and
throughout the country and AL
geria, intelligence agents have
their ears to the ground and
police informers are busy.
There are plenty of problems
on hand. The painfully slow
Algerian peace talks have
broken down again amid the
continuing explosion of plastic
bombs. The touchy question of
Frances Bizerte naval base is
still unsettled and the United
Nations will debate it August
81. The farmers are acting up
again, pressing for Parliament's
recall to discuss their problems,
and, behind it all. the Berlin
crisis, in which Gen. de Gaulle
hopes one day to play a
dominant role, , is looming ever
larger.

less 1t was granted an increase
in other trans-Potomac fares
Mr.. Sklar said, however, the
single-fare system, which has
been urged by the MATC since
1t was organized, could be re-
quired by the commission after
adequate investigation was
made and hearings held.
If the single-fare set-up

Pushed Hard for Plan
Since the MATC was giver

March, the commission has
pushed hard for the single fare
concept. Mr.. Sklar said it has
been the commissions policy
to try to get the firms involved
to agree voluntarily to a system

AB&W told the commission
however, that the single-fare
plan would cost them about
$4,000 a year. The firm said
it had to have an increase in
interstate cash fares from Is to
80 cents, and an increase in
token fares from 1884 cents to

The proposed interstate in

those customers who would not

Mr.. Sklar said that the con-

Refugee Flood Hits
New Peak at Berlin
TiehtCurbs
Fail to Halt
E. Germans

Refugees slipped through the
West Berlin escape hatch faster
than ever today despite all
Communist efforts to hold
them back by force and prop
aganda appeals. z
West Berlin authorities said
that between 4 pm. Friday and
2 pm. today, 2,017 new arrivals
from Communist East Germany
registered at Marienfelde recep-
ton camp. This was the highest
figure recorded for any SINH
lar period during the current
rush. Additional hundreds came
through without registering.
The total mounted after the
Communist regime threatened
harsher measures to stem the
human tide.
Emergency Quarters Prepared
Present facilities for han
ding the refugees are suffi-
cient. But Western officials say
that to be on the safe side they
are preparing emergency Sleep
ing quarters in more buildings.
The giant Olympic Stadium was
one of the places earmarked
for possible use.
Although it is becoming
more difficult to slip through
the ring of Communist police
around the divided city, the
number of refugees usually
rises on week ends.
Many workers wait for their
Friday pay before setting out
for Berlin. They also consider
it easier to slip away before
their absence is noticed at their
jobs on Monday.
Hundreds of Communist po-
lice were reported seen at rail-
road stations around the city
today, hauling people off trains
bound for Berlin.
Police Guard Stations
Commuters from Postdam on
the western outskirts of the
city reported about 100 Red
police on guard at that station
alone. They were checking on
everybody buying tickets to
Berlin.
Elevated trains from Pots
dam pass through the west Sec
tors on the way to East Berlin.
The police were ordering cora-
muters to take more round
about routes to East Berlin to
prevent them from getting off
in the allied-controlled section.
The East German regime
yesterday threatened harsh
measures that may seal off
the West Berlin escape route,
but no details were disclosed.
West Berlin Mayor Willy
Brandt told a meeting of local
authorities that only military
force by the East German
Communists can stop the
refugee flow frim rising.
He limited that such force
might trigger another East
German revolt.
At an election rally in Kiel.
West German Chancellor Kon-
rad Adenauer predicted the
Big Four would call a summit
conference in the foreseeapIe
future to deal with, the explo-
sive German issue. ~
He said Soviet Premier Khru-
shchev is just as much inter-
ested in negotiations on Ger.
many and Berlin as the West
ern heads of government.
Mr.. Adenauer rejected as
utter nonsense" any specula-
tions of disharmony between
the United States and West
Germany on the world situa-
ton.
He said a Big Four meeting
should be carefully prepared
because failure of such a sum-
NIT conference would be worse
than no summit at ALL"
The 85-year-old Chancellor,
sun tanned after his vacation,
said the West should consider
economic sanctions as a coun-
termeasures to Eastern political
pressure.

Last Of Rebels
Bowto Troops
In Argentina
Vest-Pocket Revolt
Luid to Hotheuds
By Movement

I
Aug. IL (AP).-A vest-pocket
midnight revolt against Pres
ident Arturo Frondizi came to
an abrupt, bloodless end early
today as the last rebel hold
outs surrendered.
/ Diehards among the 80-man
rebel band gave themselves up
at 6:l5 am. without firing a
shot after receiving a surrender
ultimatum from troops who
ringed the telephone exchange
they had seized shortly before
midnight. The troops had
trained a cannon on the build
ing.
Earlier the rest of the in
Surgents had surrendered less
than 5 hours after they seized
the government radio station
to broadcast claims they were
taking over the government.
The rebels, who aroused no
popular support, have not been
clearly identified as to political
tint. One of the group claimed
they we're anti Communist
Nationalists with no political
links.
Attributed to 'HOtheads"
The government announce
ment blamed the pocket-sized
uprising on "hotheads." It ac-
cused them of trying to upset
internal peace and damage
Argentina's prestige abroad.
Government officials ap-
peared convinced the attempt
ed revolt had no important po-
litical significance. But Presi-
dent Frondizi remained in his
office through the night wait
ing for final word that all re-
SiStance had been wiped out.
Foreign Minister Adolfo Mu-
gica described the rebel action
as "the work of brains that do
not function we'll"
Navy Secretary Rear Admiral
CASTOR Gle m mt, asked by
newsmen whether the incident
had any political overtones.
said:
You can call them as you
wish. This must be a group of
hotheads. whether Nationalists
or Communists"
The abortive revolt caused q
furry of excitement while it
lasted. It reused fears that it
might create confusion at the
Inter-American conference at
Punta del Este, Uruguay, where
delegates are seeking to imple-
ment President Kennedy's al
lance for progress program.
Manifesto Is Broadcast
The rebels broadcast a revo-
lutionary manifesto after seiz-
ing the telephone exchange
which controls all radio lines,
giving the impression at first
that it was a nationwide re-
volt.
Police and troops were rushed
to buildings where the rebels
were holed UP, but held their
fire.
Armed with pistols and light
machine guns, the rebels fired
when police approached the
telephone building only 25
blocks from Government House
where Mr.. Frondizi was meet
ing with his political and mill
tary aides on the crisis.
The rebels claimed in their
brief broadcast that they had
no political links.
A law student, Hector Cores.
among those who surrendered
at the radio station, identified
the leader of the rebels as his
brother, Air Force Comdr. Vim
cente CORES.
Hector declared he was an
anti Communist and only seek
ing to bring national unity to
Argentina which has been beset
by economic and industrial un-
rest.
President Frondizi said failure
of the revolt demonstrated that
the Argentine people and armed
forces "are united in their will

Dear DR.. Steincrohn: In
reading one of your recent
columns 1 think I may have
found the clue to my indi-
gestion. You said that when
nothing seems to complete
the puzzle, always think of
food allergy.
From time to time I have
gone to my doctor for indi-
gestion that comes on for a
few days every once in a
while. He has given me all
sorts of examinations, but
diSmiSSes me with the re-
mark: You have no organic
disease. It's functional and
nothing to worry about" I
tell him that I'm not worried.
but uncomfortable. How
about food allergy?" asked
him. But he laughed it off
as a remote possibility. Where
do go from here. DR.. S1in-
crohn? Sincerely, Mrs. B.,
Washington. D. C.
IF YOU WERE my patient,
I'd say: Go straight to an
allergist." There's always
room for honest difference of
opinion between doctors, but
unfortunately the innocent
patient sometimes suffers
needleSSly for it. I can speak
only from my own experience.
Believe me when I say that
food allergy is a greater
cause of undetermined indi-
gestion than people-and
some doctors-realize. When
it is evident, it is easy to
suspect that the strawberries
you had last night caused
your skin to break out
today. you recall that the
same thing happened three
months ago. Or, that the
baby is covered with eczema
because she is allergic to
milk.
What are some of the pos
sible symptoms of food al
lergy in addition to the COM
mon ones of rhinitis, asthma,
or dermatitis? I have seen
patients with some, or all, of
the following after becoming
sensitized to food: Swelling
Of the lips and throat, nausea
and vomiting, abdominal
pain, diarrhea, rectal bleed
ing.
Food allergy is a most i'm
portant consideration when
symptoms persist under
treatment. The doctors jobA.
then, is always to keep foN
allergy in mind as a possiBe
