Buenos Aires last night while
loyal units we're poised on the

Truce Maintained

an effort to find a solution to
the three-day-old crisis, Ar

in four months.

Previous Demand Met
President Guido had already
given into one rebel demand
when he fired controversial
War Secretary 1t. Gen. Edu-

Senorans had been in office
only IL hours. Gen. Senorans
was the second war secretary

army commander in chief. He
demanded then that Mr.. Guide

minister and army commander
in chief. Gen. Loza quit that
