BUENOS AIRES, (AP) Political prisoners arrested in connection with last week's revolt against the government of President Juan D. Peron are being released, the government announced today.
The order frees political opponents of the government such as Crisologo Larralde, leader of the Radical Party, who were jailed during and after the revolt.
The rebels themselves-mostly navy fliers and marine corps personnel-are to be tried by the Supreme Council of the armed forces.
The government announcement said it had been decided to release political prisoners "in the interests of restoring complete tranquility throughout the nation."
A communique earlier from Maj. Gen. Franklin Lucero, army minister and commander in chief of the "forces of repression," reported all of Argentina calm.
Troops guarding public buildings and churches in the capital since the uprisings last Thursday were sent back to their barracks today.
Police in Rosario, capital of Santa Fe province and Argentina's second largest city, announced that 21 Communists had been arrested there for distributing subversive leaflets and violating the state security decree.
