...cause of President-reject General Juan Andreu Almazán sputtered like a discouraged short circuit last week. Loyal Almazanistas insisted that their leader would arrive in the capital by month's end, that he was ready in Mexico for a mysterious "strategy junta." But the Almazan camp in San Antonio was dismally inactive. In Mexico City a band of 500 men & women waving the green flags of Almazanismo tried to rip down a poster proclaiming General Manuel Avila Camacho President-elect of Mexico, was quickly broken up by a squad of motor cycle police.

Finally, declared the President-elect, he would extend adequate guarantees to both Mexican and foreign investors. This just about completed the platform on which General Almazán campaigned.

Less in the spotlight, more powerful from the background was chunky, balding Neri, head of Almazán's PRUN (Revolutionary Party of National Unification). If a junta was being formed, he was the man to form...
...Presidency because of his anti-expropriationism, was evidently waiting to see which way the cat would jump in Washington. Camacho has boasted that he will dine in the White House some time this month-and Washington has denied it. If he does, it will probably mean the end of Almazánismo...
