Peron flees from Argentina;
gunboats told to arrest him
Junta takes over;
talks peace with
rebel leaders
toy Sam Summerlin
BUENOS AIRES (JP) The M
len dictator, Juan D. Peron,
boarded a Paraguayan guniboat
here today and received assur
ances of protection. But the
rebels whose revolt ousted Per
on demanded the boat be in
tercepted enroute to Paraguy
and the ex-president arrested.
Peron spent last night in his
presidential palace at Palmer-1
mo while a group of friends
and opponents debated his fate
in a secret meeting.
There were various reports,
apparently well founded, that
Peron had slipped out of the
country bv air, he ad i mg for
the neighboring Uruguay.
But this afternoon the Par
aguayan aimbassdor to Argen
tina disclosed he had gone a
board the gunboat with Peron.
and the ex-dictator had receiv
ed assurances of ^protection”
from its commander.
The ambassador, Juan Chav
ez, said Peron slipped aboard
the gtlniboat with his military
aide. Maj. Ignacio Cialceta.
This was about 10 a. m.
Soon after 1 p. m. the rebel
radios came on the air with
directions to the insurgent
navy telling its officers to in
tercept the Paraguayan Igun
boat.
The object obviously was to
bring Peron back to face char
ges.
The trim bv guniboat to As
unction, Paraguay. 900 miles
upstream from Buenos Aires
would take about five days.
The ambassador said he had
informed the military junta,
now in power in Argentina,
that the former (president and
his aides were taking refuge
