It was unelear who held control. Government radio’ stations in Asuncion, the Paraguayan’ capital, remained off the air, ‘but private sources gave carrying accounts of the revolt which apparently broke sout yesterday. A private radio station said loyal government forces succeeded in quelling the revolt. It added that Police Chief L. Petit was killed in the fighting. . An account from Clorinda, on the Argentine side of the Bara- guayan border across from Asun- cion, said the insurgents held the capital. It said Chaves and his ministers had taken refuge in Asuncion’s military academy after the rebels seized control of’ com- munications. J The Clorinda report said the rebels had set up a three-man government in the capital. Other reports said several gov- ernment leaders were killed in fighting yesterday including Gen. Alfredo Stroesner, commander of Paraguay’s armed forces. These reports said a cavalry di- . Vision, about 500 men, had sparked the revolt and that loyal troops and police had rallied to Chaves’ defense. Paraguay had enjoyed relative ealm since 1950. There have been reports of harsh government meas- ures against political opponents, Chaves, 74, took over as pro- visional president in September 1949 after toppling Felipe Molas Lopez in a bloodless coup. Chaves’ rise stemmed from discord in the tuling Colorado party, Paraguay’s only legal party, in which he led the democratic faction. Chaves was confirmed in office in 1950 elections in which he was the only candidate. His 1949 take- over had been the sixth adminis- tration change through revolt or bloodless coup in 17 months, ‘LOLLIPOPS HELP (Continued from Page One) sent from the USS Bushnell and from Boca Chica to assist Navy doctors D, McMahon, G. H. Still, and Dr. Ralph Hertz. Principal Simmons and mem- bers of the Harris faculty were busy keeping up with their stu- dents, and most of the teachers had a special word for their own pupils. The concensus of opinion among the youngsters as they limped home clutching their lollipops was that “it wasn’t too bad after all” and they could look forward to a free afternoon knowing full well that they were practically im- amune from parental paddlings. By JAMES C. MUNN WASHINGTON (#—Supporters of the 20-year-old St. Lawrence sea- way plan boasted of unqualified confidence today as the House called up the controversial bill for a climatic vote. The Senate has passed the meas- ure, which would authorize the United States to join with Canada in constructing a 27-foot-deep chan- nel up the St. Lawrence River so oceangoing ships could steam from the Atlantic to Great Lakes ports. The House has never before voted on the issue. Canada has officially informed this country that if the authoriza- tion does not come this year, it will proceed to build an all-Cana- dian seaway on its side of the St. Lawrence. So today’s vote could decide the issue for the United States for all time. Backers of the project made no attempt to play it close to the vest. One, Rep. Machrowicz (D-Mich), predicted the margin of victory would be “at least 50 votes.” 20-Year-Old St. Lawrence Seaway Bill To House Vote “Maybe greater,” Machrowicz said as an afterthought. His forecast was in line with that made earlier by House Republican leaders. They said they anticipated passage by a “substantial margin.” The House, meeting two hours earlier than usual, was expected to speed the bill through without delay. The only stumbling block toward final passage in the House—and its Possibilities were minimized by seaway proponents—was an amend- ment written by Rep. Brownson (R-Ind). Brownson planned to propose that the 105-million-dollar Ameri- can share of the waterway’s con- struction be met through sale of revenue bonds to the public rather than by the Treasury as proposed in the bill. The key vote probably will come here. Opponents of the amendment, which the Treasury also wants de- feated, assert it would have the ef- fect of crippling the bill. Further evidence that the meas- SINCERE TO THE THANKS VOTERS OF MONROE COUNTY WHO SUPPORTED ME IN TUESDAY'S PRIMARY JIM FRANKLIN (Paid Political Advertisement) 263 130 423 3 214 256 122 226 53 154 89 2421 159 2983 0 Qo 5 0 ure was deemed certain to win came from breaks in the New England delegation, once solidly opposed to the project. And members from other areas long unfavorable to the project an- nounced that they too were switch- ing their position. One of the most significant indi- cations came from Rep. Radway (R-NY). Radwan’s district em- braces Buffalo, N. Y., traditional- ly thought opposed to the seaway. Radwan, however, told the House a poll of his district showed a ma- jority favored the project. Conse- quently, he said, he would vote for Passage of the bill. Sen. Ferguson (R-Mich), chair-' man of the Senate Republican Pol- icy Committee, said he‘ not only anticipated House passage but be- lieved President Eisenhower, who strongly supports the bill, would sign the measure by next wéek. Support for the seaway soared in both the Senate and House after the Federal Power Commission last year granted New York state a license to join the province of Ontario in construction of a 600- million-dollar St. Lawrence River hydroelectric project” Without the power project, the seaway would not be practical from either engineering or eco- nomic standpoints, The power project is currently being contested in the courts but there are indications the suit—chal- lenging the right of the commis- sion to grant New York the con- struction license—may be decided by early summer or fall, NOBODY VOTED IN N. MEXICO PRECINCT RATON, N. M, —Officially, the New Mexico primary vote in Ver- mejo Park precinct of Colfax come will be zero for all candi- ates. The 16 registered Democrats and seven registered Republicans ei- ther forgot or didn’t care that Tuesday was election day. Mrs. Tom Farmer, county says a resident of the tiny com- munity in the wide ranchland of northern New Mexico reported ‘no votes had been cast.
