REBUFFED BY COURT

ARGENTINE. REGIME

BUENOS AIRES, Sept. 2. The Supreme Court's rebuff to the military regime by the nullification of a recent military trial has aroused widespread speculation in view of the recent agitation that the Court should oust General Farrell and Colonel Peron and take over the Government pending the elections. The Court set aside the conviction of eight retired army officers on charges of plotting to overthrow the military Government and ordered that the evidence should be submitted to a civil court trial sponsored by Colonel Peron in his capacity.as War Minister. He charged the men with threatening to kill the families of army officers who refused to join the revolutionary movement and claimed that the alleged leader, General Adolfo Espindola, was a Nazi. Espindola is regarded by the British and American communities as a friendly democratic leader. Juan Cooke, a former Radical Party deputy, took office as Foreign Minister with the announcement that he would contribute to the sensible and elevated intentions of returning the country to normalcy arid to the Republican traditions. He described himself as a supporter of the United Nations arid an opponent of neutrality throughout the war.
