DUEL FOUGHT
Neither Combatant Hit (Rec. 1.1.15) BUENOS AIIRES, June 23 Two members of the Argentine Chamber of Deputies, Peronista deputy John William Cooke, and the Radical Party deputy, Oscar Lopez Serrot fought a duel with pistols to-day. Cooke challenged Serrot last night because the latter called him a traitor and covert for switching from the Radical to a duel for the Party. * Cooke challenged the Radical deputy- Frondizi to a duel for the same reason. When Cooke and Serrot fought the duel, each fired one shot at 20 paces, but neither was hurt. They left the scene still unreconciled.
