Military units occupied government house in Santa Rosa, capital of La Pampa Province. Other units in battle dress rushed to guard positions at communications and other nerve centers in Buenos Aires and Key provincial cities. Troops at government house, who yesterday changed from GENEVA (AP) Foreign Minister Antonio Segni of Italy today put forward a four-point program for partial disarmament beginning with an agreement prohibiting the use of outer space for military purposes.

The 17-nation disarmament conference also received a memorandum from Polish Foreign Minister Adam Rapacki outlining his five-year-old proposal for a nuclear-free zone through the heartland of Europe. He called for a limitation of armaments as well as a ban on nuclear weapons in West and East Germany, Poland and Czechoslovakia. Segni told the conference the need now is for confidence-building agreements to serve as a prelude to a bigger program of general and complete See picture, page 2. i it it'SN I '''t: WO. 4.." 10'''Ntit' 7 I 1, 4 4 ti S.44144se....494?.

Franklin Rawson, who rang the first note of open defiance by calling for rebellion two days ago, was reported at the head of an infantry division, ready to move against Frondizi at a moment's notice.

As the situation grew more tense, Interior Minister Hugo Vaca Nary told newsmen "Calm prevails throughout the nation, at least externally." The minister said that if any measures had been adopted in the armed forces "they have not found expression outside the barracks." The military occupation of such places as telephone exchanges. he said, was a "precaution to avoid the possibility of attacks against communication centers." Military forces were reported to have taken control of the city hall and other public buildings at Olavarria In Buenos Aires, Province. Military informants said Gen. Raul Poggi, the army chief, was reported to have given orders for the execution of "Plan overthrow of Frondiziat 7:30 a.m. The navy, the same sources said, planned to move earlier.

But two hours after the report. ed zero hour a diplomat close to Frondizi said negotiations still were going on to effect a their red, blue and gold uniforms for battle fatigues, stationed themselves just outside Frondizi's office for the first time in the 11-day crisis. These guards carried submachine guns. Grim and gaunt from the 11 days of crisis, Frondizi drove to his office from his sub. urban home.

He smiled wanly as reporters asked him for comment but remained silent. Frondizi himself was reported at Olivos, his suburban residence. The military occupation of radio stations, central telephone offices and public works plants obviously was a move to thwart any disturbance and to be in a position for a military takeover of the nation if it is ordered by the Army, Navy and Air Chiefs. Military sources said the combined armed forces at a predawn session decided to put into action plans for the forceful ouster of the embattled president after he again rejected their demands that he quit. Plan Detailed The Italian's four-point program called for: 1.

An agreement to prohibit the use of outer space for military purposes. 2. An early cutoff of nuclear weapon production, leading to the gradual destruction of stockpiles, and the creation of a uranium bank for peaceful uses. 3. Action to guard against accidental war or surprise attack.

4. Adoption of measures to break down "the wall of misunderstanding that separates" East and West and thus restore a psychological climate of trust. A change that its proponents believe could cash "hundreds of thousands of dollars" more for county school funds was advocated today by the 24th Intermountain Logging Conference. Among resolutions scheduled to be adopted at the close of the annual timber industry conclave here this afternoon was one opposing the present basis for computing the amount allocated to counties for school support from national forest timber sales. Federal law provides that Counties receive 25 per cent of national forest receipts.

To. day's resolution urges that this 25 per cent be computed on the gross receipts rather than the net receipts. William Dratz of Poison, former member of the conference resolutions committee who said he has studied this situation for years, explained that the net-receipts basis allocates the 25 per cent after costs of road building and stand improvement have been deducted. Under today's proposal, the counties would get their money before these deductions are made by the Forest Service. "As it is now, the Forest Service has a way here of getting appropriations without having to go to Congress for them," Dratz said.

"In counties in Montana and Idaho that are heavily owned by the public, the residents are sup. porting the schools almost entirely. This change could mean quite an improvement in the tax situation of western counties." Senator Henry Dworshak, R. Idaho, introduced a bill similar to today's resolution laid year, but it died in commit, tee, Dratz said. The conference also was scheduled to adopt a resolution opposing "in principle" current legislative redistricting proposalsit did not specifically mention Initiative 211 proposed by the Washington League of Women Voters and urging instead redistricting measures that would be based on population but which would leave each county with at least one member in the House of Representatives.

Another resolution urged a test came to challenge a re. cent U.S. attorney general's opinion which it said "repeals a 65-ytar-oid right of private owners of land to cross national forest land to their property," and urging legislation "restoring rights of Ingress and egress."

Color Confusion Could Be Tragic WASHINGTON CAP) Communist-supplied arms have made Cuba the military giant of the Caribbean, according to a State Department report. The department said an estimated WO million In Communist military aid "has turned the Cuban military establishment into one of the most formidable in Latin America. It has Introduced a military capability hitherto not present in any of the Latin American countries of the Caribbean area." Most of the arms have come from the Soviet Union and Czechoslovakia, the department reported yesterday.

It added "there is no evidence that the Soviet Union has supplied Cuba with missiles, or that missile bases are under construction." Nor are any Soviet bombers known to have been turned over to Fidel Castro's regime. The sun made a welcome return to Spokane skies today.

NORFOLK, Neb. (AP)--Families fled their homes and hundreds of volunteers strained to raise levees during a tense night in which floods terrorized families along Eastern Nebraska's Northfork and Elkhorn Rivers. Dawn saw flood waters breach a new dike at Norfolk and swirl into a small section of town.

Civil defense director Gregg Stuve said the outlook was critical for about 40 blocks of the town of 13,000 persons. The Northfork, which drains an area where snow melt came late and heavy, flows into the Elkhorn at Norfolk. Thirty blocks of the upstream Northfork town of Pierce were flooded. City Councilman Harry Greenlee said the river was falling this morning. Pierce has a population of 1,216.

For the second time in five (lays, residents of the Elkhorn town of Hooper (pop. 832) sand. bagged furiously late yesterday to hold back a flood crest. Again Hooper was saved but U.S. Highway 275 northwest of there was washed out.

Last year, too, March 28 was a sunny day which followed several rainy ones. The high was a mild 56 and the overnight low was 32. Prospect Syrian Army Takes Over in Quick 'Neutral' Coup Some candy- looks a lot like) some pills and therein lies a great: danger, Dr. Hampton H. Trayner, city health officer, said today.

"Many medications, which in an overdose can be fatal, are shaped and colored so that it is almost impossible to distinguish them from many kinds of candy now on the market," he noted. Dr. Trayner said this candylike) appearance of pills makes them) attractive to children. When left within reach of a child, accidental) poisoning easily could occur because a child will eat them, thinking they are' confections, the health officer explained. Figures Revealing "Recently released figures show 90 per cent of all poisoning accidents involve children less than 5 years of age," Dr.

Traynor said. "Children in this age group are large enough to open medicine cabinets and unscrew bottle caps. But they are not old enough to know that the contents of medicine bottles and pill containers may be harmful to them." More than 1,500 children die) annually in the United States from accidentally taking poison- ous materials. For every death of this type, the doctor said, 100 to 150 non-fatal poisonings occur. "A contributing factor to accidental overdoses of potent medications is the transfer of pills and drugs from original containers to handy household and purse-size containers more easily accessable to the children," Dr.

Traynor said. "Flavored aspirin for babies frequently is the cause of accidental poisoning because many parents consider it harmless and leave it within reach of their children." He said the similarity of, pills to candy points up the importance of keeping all medicines and toxic agents out of reach of children, preferably locked in cupboards or drawers. Dr. Trayner said Spokane is Fortunate in having a Poison Information Center, located in the Deaconess flosptial Emergency Room, where both treatment and information are dispensed. City Health Department nurses work in conjunction with the Poison Information Center, making lime visits to families wherever this type of follow-up is needed.

The nurses also are alert to point out potential poison hazards when making routine home visits.

Radio Damascus said the coup was bloodless. An army general staff statement broadcast from Damascus accused the right-wingers of nullifying social reforms to regain hinds they had lost to the peasants and workers while Syria was joined with Egypt In President Gamal Ahdel Nasscr's United Arab Republic.
