Argentinian Officers Rebel Against Leaders
BUENOS AIRES — (UPI) — Rebellious army officers seized command at the Campo De Mayo garrison outside Buenos Aires today and called on the people to help them drive three top-ranking generals out of office.
Gen. Juan C. Ongania leading the revolt demanded the immediate removal of Army Chief Gen. Juan C. Lorio and his chief of staff, Gen. Bernardino Labayru. He accused them of seeking to establish a military dictatorship.
Ongania said he was getting "spontaneous" support from other Army groups but did not identify them. He said the revolt movement was aimed at guaranteeing President Jose M. Guido a free exercise of power to assure early and democratic elections.
The rebel call for popular sympathy and aid came in a broadcast labelled "Campo De Mayo communique Number One" and transmitted over Radio Belgrano. Dissident troops seized the plant's transmitter outside the city at Moron, in the western suburbs.
The War Secretariat reported a column of tanks advancing on the royal garrison at La Plata, 35 miles southwest of Buenos Aires. But it later clarified its statement to say the movement represented only motorized patrol units in forward positions within their normal territory.
The revolt movement appeared for the moment confined to the federal district. The government was taking no chances on its spread, however. Frontier troops were called into Buenos Aires to occupy communications offices.
The War Secretariat would not allow radio transmissions of any rebel communiques or statements.
The early-morning tank scare led to alert precautions at La Plata. Two bridges were dynamited and one of them destroyed on the highway between Maddalena and La Plata.
The government alerted federal police throughout Argentina. Cabinet members met throughout the night to discuss the growing crisis.
President Jose M. Guido told newsmen when he went to bed at dawn that he thought the army situation had been "settled" but the La Plata reports indicated otherwise.
Buenos Aires, however, was outwardly normal. The only sign of the crisis was a doubling of the guard at navy installations.

Vandals Paint Traffic Stops
Vandals descended upon three KU traffic stations last night and succeeded in stenciling them with gold paint before campus officers chased them off about 1 a.m.
Ine booths, located by the Chi Omega fountain, on Memorial Drive, and in front of the Kansas Union, were all stenciled with the words: "You are now leaving the American sector."
Sgt. Charles Hanna and Patrolman Fred Musselman filed this report:
"As we came around the Chi Omega fountain after coming off Memorial Drive, we noticed that some one had used a stencil spraying gold and black paint over the lettering . . . This is sprayed on the front two panels."
A check is being made in Marvin and Lindley Halls and Lindley Annex for parts of the stencils, which were made out of large blotters.
"The paint on No. Three was still wet when we arrived there and the subjects left in a hurry dropping the stencils," officers reported.
