Security Tight As Ike Visits Frondizi
BUENOS AIRES—(UPI)—President Eisenhower made a dramatic arrival in the heart of Buenos Aires by helicopter today, soaring over the heads of angry demonstrators who were demanding the return of ousted dictator Juan D. Peron. They shook their fists at the chopper as it passed high above them.
Security arrangements were the tightest of Eisenhower's Latin American trip.
Five bombs exploded in the city during the night, injuring three persons in what may have been anti-American demonstrations. Two of the blasts damaged American-owned companies.
The President arrived by plane at Ezeiza Airport at 10:43 am., saddened by the loss of 61 persons in yesterday's air collision over Rio de Janeiro between a U.S. Navy plane and a Brazilian commercial airliner.
Frondizi Welcomes Ike
President Arturo Frondizi and other high Argentine dignitaries welcomed Eisenhower warmly at the airport.
Eisenhower told Frondizi that both their countries "provide one stone in the structure of peace."
"The people of Argentina and the United States share an unshakeable resolve to work tirelessly together, and with our neighbors, for peace characterized by freedom and justice," Eisenhower added.
The two men boarded the U.S. Marine Corps helicopter and flew 25 miles into the city to the U.S. Embassy residence gardens.
The flight was made to avoid possible hostile demonstrations, such as the stone-throwing incidents that
Princess Margaret Is Getting Married
LONDON —(UPI)— Princess Margaret is getting married. With stunning surprise the Royal Family announced tonight that the 29-year-old sister of Queen Elizabeth is engaged to Anthony Armstrong-Jones, a commoner known only to British society as a photographer and son of a lawyer.
No date for the wedding was set. Armstrong-Jones, also 29, will be the first commoner to enter the Royal Family since Mrs. Wallace Warfield Simpson married the Duke of Windsor after he sacrificed his throne as King Edward VIII for the woman he loved.
Once it was the other way around for Margaret—she gave up her love for commoner Peter Townsend in loyalty to the throne's tradition against divorce.
But her love for commoner Tony Armstrong-Jones, hidden from the public until tonight, was welcomed by Queen Elizabeth.
marred Mexican President Adolfo Lopez Mateos' visit here a month ago. Paran Signs are Plentiful
Members of Eisenhower's party who made the trip into town by auto saw Peron's name whitewashed onto the highway hundreds of times and signs saying "People are with Peron" and "Peron come back."
A UPI correspondent in a radio-telephone car tracking the presidential helicopter reported that Peronists along the way shouted "Viva Peron" as the craft passed overhead.
The helicopter ride also avoided taking the President through residential sections of thousands of workers who are opposed to Frondizi.
The temperature was in the 80's and the humidity was high when the two presidents landed at the embassy gates beside a broad, handsome park resembling New York's Central Park.
The extremely severe security measures and the heat kept the crowd down to about 1,000, and these were kept a safe distance away.

Those leaving are Donald Dean associate professor of civil engineering; Russell Petersen, assistant professor of mechanical engineering; and Edwin Parks, associate professor of aeronautical engineering. All three hold the Ph.D. degrees.
United States Launches First 'Sky Spy' Satellite
Inadequate salaries, weak graduate programs, and poor research facilities have caused two associate professors and an assistant professor in the School of Engineering to leave KU at the completion of this semester.
An 88-foot-tall Atlas-Agena thundered into the sky at 11:25 a.m. (Lawrence time) with more than 3,000 pounds of delicate and possibly diplomatically controversial instruments tucked in its nose.
CAPE CANAVERAL, Fla.—(UPI)America today launched a two-ton earth satellite to test a system of detecting Russian missile firing with an infra-red "sky spy."
The sleek rocket, the nation's mightiest, traveled steeply and apparently normally in search of an orbit around the middle of earth for its payload. The Agena second-stage casing was to remain attached to and travel in orbit with the bulky instrument package.
Shortly after the firing, the Air Force said it had lost contact with the Midas satellite. However, the Air Force's "Operation Spacetrack" in Bedford, Mass., confirmed later that it was "receiving reports" from

Cape Canavalver on the Midas satellite, but said Air Force forces prevented its issuing any information.
The system is keyed to a sensitive infra-red device that would detect the exhaust of any enemy rocket within one minute after it was fired; thus giving a 30-minute warning. This is about the time it would take an intercontinental ballistic missile to go from pad to target.
This was the first test of an Air Force plan to put a dozen or more Project Midas satellites into orbit within the next two to four years to keep tabs on launchings of big Soviet missiles. Midas is short for "Military Defense Alarm System."
Under existing defense alarm systems, the most the nation could hope for would be a 15-minute alert.
However, the satellite launched today was strictly a prototype that would travel over little, if any. Soviet territory in its planned orbit more than 300 miles above earth. It also lacked the communications equipment necessary to relay information about Russian launches.

of Delaware primarily because they have an improved departmental setup and more attractive responsibility," said Prof. Dean.
He will become chairman of the department of civil engineering and mechanics at the University of Delaware starting Sept. 1.
"At KU we don't have Ph.D. candidates in the professional department and I want to work with them.
"The University of Delaware has a much stronger department than KU. Here I am one of two Ph.D.'s and there I will become the eighth.
"Yes, it's true that salaries run somewhat higher there. But, of course, that's true of all eastern schools." Prof. Dean said.
Professors Petersen and Parks have accepted positions at the same university in the southwestern part of the United States. They can not reveal the name of the University until an official announcement is made by that university's board of regents in May, they said.
In explaining his reasons for leaving KU. Prof. Petersen said:
"I have decided to teach at a southwestern university next year because it has a much stronger department, more graduate students, a larger staff, better salaries and more money for research.
"I will receive a big increase in salary and an advancement from assistant to associate professor."
Prof. Petersen said that he will be the seventh Ph.D. on their staff, while KU has only two.
Purchasing Materials Awkward
"The climate for research here is not what I had expected. For example, the system which we have for making purchases for research materials is extremely awkward.
"If the purchase is more than $25, the request for material must be sent first to the KU business office and then to Topeka where bids are sent out.
"I ordered a motor-driven blower for a research project in October and I have not received it yet," he said.
"Also, I don't like the political atmosphere at KU. Everyone on the Hill agrees that Gov. Docking is doing his best to cut KU down" he said.
Prof. Parks said that he is also leaving KU for several reasons

e. e. cummings Called 'Far-Out' Poet
STUART LEVINE He stresses the humanity of even the most debase.
A study of e. e. cummings, described as a "far out" poet, was the order of the Poetry Hour program yesterday at the Kansas Union.
"If in some ways cummings shows some of the bitterness of the writers of the lost generation, he is also the heir of a more optimistic tradition in our literature," said Stuart Levine, instructor of English and main lecturer.
"There is a critical eliche that the poet with the radical technique is the poet with the conservative values. Whether or not this applies to e. e. cummings depends upon how you define the word 'conservative,'" Mr. Levine related.
cummings Is Conservative?
"If you're careful to make clear that conservatism here means a respect for eternal values, this is a place to start understanding cummings' work," he continued.
Mr. Levine then read the cummings' poem, "My Father Moved Through Dooms of Love." He commented that there weren't many poets in this century who could write a poem about father without being "mawkish."
Mr. Levine explained that cummings had picked up his reputation as a "far out" poet by his satirical poems and his radical typhography.
"But the satirist if he's any good is always basically constructive," asserted Mr. Levine, "and the radical typography is part of cummings' scheme to get his readers to think of words in a fresh way."
To support this assertion, the lecturer read, "Poem, or Beauty Hurts Mr. Vinal."
cummings Is Affirmative Poet
"He is neither a bitter poet nor an obscure one," said Mr. Levine.
Cummings is Abhorrent cummings was then described as a "thoroughly affirmative poet," even though some aspects of the affirmation are surprising and are meant to be explained Mr. Levine
cummings likes the unaffected vision of children; he stresses the humanity of even the most debased; he has a relish for a certain kind of vulgarity and even his outrage is constructive, he related.
"A thoroughly healthy poet," said Mr. Levine, "he is refreshingly in favor of sex." To back up this point, the lecturer recited several cummings love poems.
university next year because I will receive a promotion in both rank and salary," he said.
All three of the professors have carried out extensive research programs while they have been at KU.
"I like their combined mechanical engineering and aero-engineering department. They also have a bigger graduate department and offer larger salaries." he said.
Win National Recognition
The paraboloid led to his $26,500 National Science Foundation grant for research on structural lattices. His grant will terminate when he leaves KU in August.
Prof. Dean has received national recognition for his work in shell research. In 1956-57 he built a hyperrelocal parabolic next to Marvin Hall.
Since Prof. Dean received his grant, he has built an experimental home at 21st and Alabama Streets and the douglas fir plywood "monk e y saddle," which now stands next to Marvin Hall.
Prof. Parks has done most of his work in the development of laboratory apparatus. He has concentrated on supersonic wind tunnels, shock tubes and light gas guns.
Because he is leaving KU, Prof. Petersen transferred the point of origin of an application for a $25,000 National Air Safety Administration grant to the university where he will teach next year.
Prof. Petersen has done research in the field of gastodynamics. He has constructed a combustion tunnel and studied various basic problems in combustion, especially the stability of laminar flames.
The office of John S. McNown, Dean of the School of Engineering and Architecture, said that he was busy with a visitor today and was not available for comment.
Election of Smith Not Irregular
TOPEKA — (UPI) — Atty, Gen. John Anderson, Jr., told the chairman of the Congressional Elections Subcommittee today that he had uncovered no irregularities in Osborne County in connection with the general election of 1958.
Dorrance Democrat Elmo Mahoney protested to Congress that his defeat for U.S. congressman from the sixth district at the hands of Rep. Wint Smith was a result of irregularities in several counties.
Anderson said he investigated allegations about counting in Osborne County at the request of Democratic State Chairman Frank Theis.
"After reviewing all the information available and consulting with the county attorney and others . . . it was my opinion that the weight of the evidence was against any claim of fraudulent conduct." Anderson told U.S. Rep. Robert T. Ashmore (D-South Carolina) in a telegram.
"I therefore concluded that no sufficient showing had been made upon which a prosecution for violation of the state election laws could be properly instituted."
The attorney general said George, a long-time newspaperman, made the notes with the intention of writing a story on election quirks.
"There is no substantial evidence that the judge in question in any way meddled with or altered any official ballot," Anderson said.
