Rio Situation Eases; Argentina In Uproar
★ ★ ★
RIO DE JANEIRO-(U.P.)- A threat of civil war eased today with the pledge of ousted President Carlos Luz to accept the new government of Brazil "to avoid bloodshed."
Luz said he would offer no resistance to the military coup that overthrew him and installed Nereu Ramos in his place.
Tension began building up when Laz returned to Rio harbor aboard the cruiser Tamandare on which he had fled the capital with a number of supporters at the outset of the bloodless revolt.
He remained aboard ship part of the day and then was brought ashore and held in the naval arsenal. Brazilian marines armed with tommyguns stood guard.
Luz Will Not Resist
Although he had said earlier he would not resist the new government, it had been feared he might change his mind when he returned to Rio and urge his supporters in the military to fight.
Ex-president Luz said he did not plan to raise any questions about the legality or the constitutionality of the new government.
"I plan to resign the presidency of the Chamber of Deputies, probable in the next meeting, so as to avoid any judicial situation," he said.
Lott Led Revolt
The revolt, led by army minister Gen. Henrique Teixeira Lott, was staged to prevent a coup by a group of army officers who sought to prevent president-elect Juscelino Kubitschek from taking office next January.
Mr. Luz admitted that Gen. Lott's swift "preventive coup" had "developed so fast that I couldn't do anything about it."
After he had gone aboard the Tamandare and received reports of the military and political situation throughout the country, he said he ordered ousted air minister Brig. Eduardo Gomes "to cease all resistance."
After The Fact
DES MOINES—(U.P.)-Four cars piled up, in a collision on a rainy day but no one was hurt. That is, not until one investigating police officer, Elmer Van Note, slammed a car door on his finger.

BUENOS AIRES—(U.P.)-Gen. Juan Jose Uranga denounced today as "treason" the palace coup that overthrew President Eduardo Lonardi and said he was resigning from the Army to have full freedom of action to fight the move.
The strongly wounded statement by Pres. Lonardi's transport minister brought into the open the first major rift among the military forces supporting the revolutionary regime that helped to oust Presiden; Juan D. Peron.

Pres. Lonardi was replaced yesterday by a new soldier-president, Maj. Gen. Pedro E. Aramburu, 52, and a four-man council consisting of Lonardi's Army, Navy and Air Force ministers and Vice President Rear Adm. Isaac Rojas, a hero of the revolt against Pecon.
The ousting of Mr. Lonardi was accomplished without bloodshed, but the defiant statement of Uranga and a statement by Mr. Lonardi himself that he had not resigned raised the possibility of trouble ahead for the new regime.

Troops cordoned off the Plaza de Mayo but no incidents were reported. The state of siege restrictions already in effect were somewhat tightened, but the city was quiet.
Mr. Aramburu, in a presidential communique issued early today, said Lonardi was overthrown because of the presence of cabinet groups trying to guide Lonardi's policy toward "totalitarian extremism."
Supreme Court Faces Challenges
WASHINGTON—(U.P.) The Supreme Court faced new challenges to racial discrimination today following last week's decisions barring segregation in public parks, swimming pools and golf courses.
Scheduled for action are two cases testing state bars on inter-racial marriages and racial listings on the ballots of negro candidates.
A Chinese-American of Norfolk, Va., has urged the court to throw out the state statute forbidding marriage between whites and non-white. Twenty-seven other states have similar laws.
The other case was brought by A. B. McDonald, who sued the Oklahoma election board for $200,-000 after the word "negro" appeared on the ballot after his name. A negro, he was an unsuccessful candidate in the 1954 Democratic primary for U. S. Senator. The U.S. Court of Appeals in Denver held the listing was unconstitutional discrimination.
Cosmetics Firms Accused By FTC
WASHINGTON—(0.P.)The Federal Trade Commission today accused four major cosmetic manufacturers of using illegal price discrimination practices.
The FTC at the same time said it was investigating four other leading cosmetic companies suspected of the same offense.
Those charged in today's action were Elmo, Inc., Philadelphia; Helena Rubinstein, Inc. Hudnut Sales Co., Inc., and Yardley of London, Inc. all with principal offices in New York.

Ike Returns To Office First Time Since Aug.14
WASHINGTON—(U.P.)—President Eisenhower, "feeling fine" after a quiet weekend at the White House, returned to his office today for the first time since Aug. 14 to work before leaving for his Gettysburg, Pa., farm.
Mr. Eisenhower was last in his office shortly before he left for Denver on Aug. 14. In Denver he suffered a heart attack on Sept. 24.
Mr. and Mrs. Eisenhower planned to motor to their farm home outside Gettysburg for an indefinite stay while the chief executive recuperates from his heart attack and gradually picks up all the arduous tasks of the presidency.
The President, after a weekend of rest and mild exercise at the White House, was ready to step up his schedule a little today. He planned a brief speech in Gettysburg's flag-bedecked Lincoln Square to thank his townmen for their kindness and their prayers during his recent illness.
Tomorrow he will go to the tiny office in the Gettysburg post office from which he and his aides will conduct business of the nation and free world.
Although the time actually spent
in the 12 by 24-foot office may be limited, the President will be in touch with the government's far-flung operations at all times through a massive communications system set up in his farmhouse study. The President's aides made clear that Mr. Eisenhower personally would be directing the government.
