Life Imprisonment For Peron Is Demanded

Buenos Aires, Oct. 30.

The National Investigation Committee demanded today that ex-President' Juan D. Peron be imprisoned for life as a "traitor" — a charge that may lead to efforts to extradite him from Paraguay,

The commission asked Federal Judge Luis Botet to act on its charge that Peron, former Vice President Alberto Teisaire and some 250 Peronist ex-Congressmen are all guilty of "crimes against the constitution."

STATEMENT EXPECTED

London, Oct. 30.

An official statement on whether or not Princess Margaret intends to marry Group Captain Peter Townsend is generally expected to be issued this week.

The expectation is based on the fact that little time is left to settle the mounting uncertainty before the airman returns from leave to Brussels, where he is air attache; he is due back on November 7.

Between now and then he and the Princess will have only a few hours in which they can meet for Princess Margaret has a number of official engagements during the week.

For this reason it is widely thought that the couple may have reached a fateful decision this weekend at Uckfield House, Sussex, where they are the guests of Lord and Lady Rupert Novill
