BUENOS AIRES -- Six persons were reported killed and 50 wounded in shooting frays today as supporters of Argentina's resurrected "strong man," Col. Juan D. Peron, sought to enforce a general strike in celebration of his return to power.
The police -- controlled by Col. Peron -- did not intervene.
Two persons were killed and six injured in a crowd which attacked the offices of the newspaper anti-Peron Critica during the night. Some employes of the newspaper said bombs and machine-guns were used in the attack. The building was set afire but employes extinguished the flames.
The offices of the newspaper La Presna and the Socialistic LaVanguardia also were attacked.
Alvarez Cabinet Tossed Out
At the height of this violence, a government communique said the demonstrations had "dissolved themselves in perfect order" and that both the city and the rest of the country were calm.
President Edelmiro Farrell tossed aside a "cabinet of notables" submitted by Attorney General Juan Alvarez, threw out Senor Alvarez himself, reinstated several members of his deposed cabinet and ousted Admiral Hector Vernengo Lima as navy minister.
The status of Gen. Eduardo Avalos remained obscure. He led the Campo de Mayo Garrison movement which forced Col Peron's resignation as vice president, war minister and labor minister.
All transport -- trains buses trolleys and taxies -- in Buenos Aires halted in response to Col. Peron's call for a 24-hour strike as a show of strength.
Reports from the interior said the general strike was complete in both Rosario and Santa Fe.
Farrell and Peron Embrace
Col. Peron issued the strike call Wednesday night from the balcony of the Argentine "White House" where he and President Farrell embraced before 50,000 cheering adherents gathered to hail his return to power seven days after he was forced to resign.
Col. Peron did not rejoin the government and apparently will maneuver behind the scenes while preparing to run for the presidency in a general election scheduled for April. Under current conditions, he appears to have a good chance of being elected.
Col. Peron told the crowd he was retiring from the army to devote his entire time to leading labor in its struggle for its rights so that all workers "may be a little happier." He referred to his opponents as "indignant humbugs" but did not name them.
