IRIGOYEN PLOTTERS BLAMED FOR REVOLT Arrests in Six Subdivisions of Ar- gentina Follow Monday's Uprising. BY JOHN W. WHITE. By Cable to The Star. MONTEVIDEO, Uruguay, July 24.— | Arrests of army officers and civilians | in four provinces and two territories of Northern Argentina indicate - that | Monday's abortive counter-revolution at | Corrientes was part of a widespread plot between followers of former Presi- | dent Hipolito Irigoyen * and certain army officers to overthrow the pro- visional government. Provisional President Gen. Jose Fran- | cisco Uriburu has closed the National Committee headquarters of the Radical | guny in Buenos Aires, of which former resident Marcelo T. Alvear is presi- dent, and arrested radical leaders in | the Provinces of Corrientes, Catamaica, | ‘Tucuman and Santa Fe and the Terri- torles of Chaco and Misiones. These | leaders occupy positions corresponding | to State and county committeemen in the United Btates. Arrests in Santa Fe include former Gov. Gomez Cello of that province and | several former Congressmen are among | persons arrested in other piaces. Eight | hundred civillans were arrested in the | city of Corrientes as a result of their | assoclation with organizers of the revolt. | Army officers were arrested in Tucu- man, Santa Fe and other cities. The revolt appears to have been well organized in the Province of Coirientes. Revolutionary Juntas were in possession of the capital and the town of Em- | pedrado and Bella Vista for two days | and were in possession of | Resistencia, capital of Chaco territory, | and of at least one other important town in that territory. i | i Army airplanes from Buenos Aires are patrolling the City of Corrientes and neighboring towns and large forces | of infantry, cavalry and artillery have been concentrated there. Gen. Uriburu has closed the newspapers Tribuna and Libre of Buenos Aires and Democracia of Santa Fe, making five closed since | Monday. The editor of the Socialist newspaper | ‘Vanguardia, which is among those cloted. has been arrested for publishing an editorial demanding that PNS\d!’nlJ Urburu resign and turn the govern- ! ment over to the president of the ! supreme court. | (Copyright, 1931.) | SERVICES ARE SUSPENDED, BY PANUCO CATHOLICS | T | Priest Turns Cathedral Over to Laymen on Instructions From ‘ Mexican Mayor.

Destroyer Turned at 180 | Degrees and Put Through Paces by Radio. i i By the Associated Press. SAN DIEGO, Calif., July 24.—An un- | manned destroyer maneuvered at high speed off San Diego yesterday and among_other things made a 180-degree turn, described by naval officers as the most startling trick ever performed by a crewless ship. The ship was the U. S. 8. Stoddert, a 195-foot vessel of 1,500 tons. Every: thing from its whistle to its rudder was operated by radio from the bridge of the control ship, the destroyer Perry, which followed in its wake. Lieut. Comdr. Boyd R. Alexander, commander of the Stoddert, and Lieut. Comdr. Earl H. Quinlan, commander of the Perry, stood on the bridge of the latter craft watching the Stoddert. Alexander turned to a sallor standing before a little box bearing eight keys, resembling those of a typewriter. “One hundred eighty degrees right,’ Alexander said. “One hundred eighty degrees right, sir,” said the sailor, tapping the keys. Turns Without Slowing. At the etheral command the Stod- dert veered from the straight course |it had maintsined for miles and swung {completely about without slackening speed. | Comdr. Alexander smiled. “That is the first time that ever has been done,” he said “There’s a lot of machinery operating itself over there.” Every officer and man of the Stod- dert was transferred to the Perry prior to_the test. With a radio robot at her wheel the Stoddert moved out to open sea at 6 knots. The Perry followed. The speed of the Stoddert was stepped up to 15, then 20 knets. She blew her whistle and blinked her great searchlights at radio commands. Then the order “Full speed ahead” was given and she moved at 26 knots, or about 30 miles an hour. The radio robot was doing the work of 60 men. Stays on Course. For 17 miles the Perry followed its crewless leacer. The Stoddert, gulded by mechanical hands and electrical nerves, left a wake of green water as straight as a string, while the Perry, with an experlenced seaman at her helm, made flat curves with her wake across the azure blue sea 200 yards behind. “We haven't tested all the possibili- | ties as yet,” Comdr. Alexander said, “but they seem as limitless as the imag- ination.” En route back to San Clemente Island something snapped in the radio equip- ment. The Stoddert came to a stop automatically, turned off her steam and whistied lustily for help. As the tests had been completed, her crew returned and within 40 minutes she was under way again. The Stoddert was ordered decommis- sioned recently and was converted into | a target for battle practice.

Dissolution of the tri-party agree- ment betwsen George Washington Uni- versity, Garfleld Hospital and the ‘Washington Home for Foundlings, in the establishment here of a huge medi- cal center, and the carrying out, instead, of an elaborate individual development program by the George Washington University Medical School, was indi- cated here today. In an 18-month-old report by two prominent medical authorities on “th: status of the George Washington Uni- versity Medical School,” parts of which Dr. Cloyd Heck Marvin, president of the university, made public today, it was revealed that at least two years ago the school was seeking fundamental facts upon which it might base its future course, The report, prepared by Dr. G. Canby Robinson, head of the Cornell Medical Center, and Dr. Allen M. Ches- ney, dean of the Johns Hopkins Medical School, set up and replied to four fund- amental questions: “1. Is the country in need of another first-class new medical school, compar- able, say to those which have recently been established at the University of Rochester and at Vanderbllt? Proper Place for Location. “2. If so, is Washington the proper place for the location ‘of such a medi- cal school? “3. If so, is George Washington Uni- | versity the proper institution to de- velop such a school? “4. It so, how should George Wash- ington University proceed to develop a first-class university medical school?” To the first, Dr. Robinson and Dr. Chesney replied “that although this country probably does not need any new medical schools, there is still room in the country for a first-class medical school of true university caliber, where emphasis should be placed upon re- search as well as teaching.” As to Washington as a site for such a school, the report answered that “only spscial assets and opportunities not duplicated elsewhere” would justi- fy the local university in the attempt and continued with the assertion that Washington offers exceptional oppor- tunities, “some- of which cannot be duplicated elsewhere in this country.” These opportunities, the report set forth, included various Federal agen- cles efor acquiring and distributing knowledge, the Library of Congress, St. Elizabeth’s Hospital and Gallinger Hospital. Up to University. ‘The reporting medical authoritibs declared. In response to the fourth question, that George Washington Uni- versity is the “proper institution” to de- velop such a medical scheol “if the un'- | versity is willing to assume the finan- | clal burden that the development and maintenance of a real uriversity med- | ical school entails.” Among the mmendations as to the proper procedure was one calling for the construction of an adequate plant. another suggesting affiliation with , Gallinger Hospital, where adequate clin- | ical instruction is avallable, ard a third calling for the appointmen: of an out- standing medical authority to head the institution “A new building obviously is a neces- sity,” Dr. Marvin commented upon this phase of the recommendations. "It is now, frankly, our job to get support for | the construction of such a plant.” | Stronger _affiliation with ~Gallinger Hospital already is established, Dr. Marvin declired, and the recent appoint- ment as dean of the Medical School of Dr. E. B. McKinley, now director of the School of Tropical Medicine at Poito Rico, provides for the third recommendation. Center to Come Later. Dr. Marvin declined to “announce” that the agreement of 1927 under which | his university was to erect a new build- ing adjoining Garfield Hospital had been definitely dissolved. That agree- mert, however, called for the erection of the building three years after its signing. p ‘Asked definitely whether the medical expansion program now under way at the university would permanently en efforts to establish a “medical center” in the National Capital. Dr. Marvin re- plied that “the center will naturally come through this program.” He pointed out, however, that the report of Dr. Robinson and Dr. Chesney re- jated not to possibilities of setting up here “a medical center” but a first class university medical school.
