Lonardi takes over as provisional president today. flying here from Cordoba where he helped mastermind the four-day revolt that ousted Juan Peron.

The loyalist junta which took over the central gov- ernment in Peron's wake surrendered to the rebels Wed- nesday under a peace agreement. So far as can be de- termined, the surrender was unconditional, but there were signs that members of the junta, including some of Peron's supporters, remain factors to be reckoned with

Rumors as to Peron's fats were a dime a dozen Wednesday. but the best available information was that the deposed dictator- presidont remained aboard the Paraguayan gunboat where he took refuge Tuesday.

An AP reporter went aboard the gunboat in Buonos Airos bar- bor. 'A Paraguayan officer said Peron was aboard under the protection of the neighboring country-"perhaps a bit uncons- fortable-but ssfs."

Paraguayan Ambassador Juan E. Chavez doubted the rebels would impede Peron's departure. He asked the government for an assurance of safe conduct for Peron, and expressed confidence of getting it. The government lifted on embargo of Argentine ports. imposed during the revolt.
