BUENOS AIRES, Argentina!
Mar. 8 (AP) .-Peronists scored

There was no immediate re-
action from the government.
But the ruling was certain to
draw strong protests from the
military, although the Judge
held that the Popular Unions
propaganda may not show
backing for ex-Dictator Juan
d. Peron.
DR.. Raul Matera, secretary
general of the Justicialista-
Peronista movement, said the
Popular Union will operate
within these guidelines.. But
he added flaws cannot be made
to keep songs, slogans and bon

Peronist methods. lpa
The judge also certified as
eligible the Socialist Democratic
Party and the Argentine Peo-
pies Party. Retired Gen. Pedro
Aramburu, who was provisional
President after Peron's over
throw in 1855, is considered o
possible candidate Of the Peo-,
pies Party.
Newspaper accounts said a
coup is in the making to block
elections for President, Con-,
gress and provincial offices.

Mrs. Frances Simsarian said
these 38 prospects - plus q
pretty good rundown on their
qualifications - were obtained
in brief telephone interviews

Bethesda Protestant churches.
Yet, she said, the county's

diction in the Metropolitan

her study at a session today Of

Association at the Shorehan1

She had been told that
relatively high-income women
would not be interested in
raising foster children because
their own children are raised
by maids or because they would
not be able TO tolerate "a messy
foster child" |
So. Mrs. Simsarian deliberately
chose to interview women of

them, I am quite sure. is the
political wife who says not -
Stop the world, I want to
get off'-but start the world
- I'm glad to be on and take
a hand in shaping our ma

the women that they ask
their husbands what each re-
garded as the three m o t
significant things in his ca
reer.
She asked the Vice Presi-
dent, Mrs. Johnson said, and
got IAN interesting answer. "
He listed:
/. Helping push through
and extend the draft act in
August of 1941, when 1t
passed by only one vote.
2. The Civil Rights Act of
1857 because it was a rea-
sonable and constructive step
in making the country and
its way of life richer for a
larger segment of citizens.
8. The Space Act of 1857 -
because we have yet to see
what H. @. Wellsian things
can come of it - but we al
ready know that America is
taking its place in that great
and unknown vastness."

Congressional wives of both
parties baSked in warm praise
yesterday from Vice President
and Mrs. Lyndon Johnson.
The Vice President told
them Washington, the Ma
ton and the world wouldn't
be the same without you,"
and that because of you we
have hope and faith that we
will leave the world better
for our loved ones than our
loved ones had it when they
brought us in"
Mrs. johnson told tn e m
them that "the Perils of
Pauline" would be tame in
comparison" to the lives they
lead, trying to raise children
in two cities, juggle their be-
longings between two houses
and apportion their time be-
tween husband and children.
1t all took place at the
Congressional Club, whose
members are the wives and
other female relatives of
present and past members of
Congress of both parties.
Mrs. Johnson was the
scheduled speaker, but the
Vice President was q surprise
guest - a surprise to the
other wives, that is. Mrs.
johnson knew he was COM
ing, and in fact had insisted
that he not arrive until she
had completed her speech.
Delayed Dinner
The Vice President said he
wanted to acknowledge to
you wives how much irrita-
ton I know I brought you
how many dinners I delayed
- and, to you women of the
other party. disappointment
sometimes"
He wanted them to
know. he said, that while I'VE
have many things in Wash
ington we are proud of. we
are especially proud of you
women who do so much to
make this the Capital Of the
free world and the help Of all
hberty-loving people in the
world"
Mrs. johnson, noting that
"the distaff half of the popu-
lation is being dissected on
all sides" by national maya
zines, foundations and au-
thors of books, said that Con-
gressional wives are. like the
rest Of us in our little span
of time on this earth, en-
gagged in a search for the
