...succeed a military junta, Villeda Morales made a start on agrarian reform, got $11.6 million in Alliance for Progress aid and used it to launch a modest development plan to educate his 1,950,000 people, build roads and attract new industry. Personally popular and staunchly antiCommunist, he kept Honduran far leftists at arm's length, helped labor clean out Red infiltrators. "I am asking you," he once told a labor rally, "to choose between Communism and democracy, between the blue and white flag of Honduras and the red flag of Russia...
Bosch wanted to dismiss Colonel Elias Wessin y Wessin, a vociferous antiCommunist, the brass decided that Bosch himself had to go. At a predawn meeting in the palace, the military chiefs arrested Bosch. They abolished the constitution, dissolved Congress, outlawed Communists and closed the schools. Out over the radio went a manifesto: "We have decided to intervene to put order to this chaos and to halt the deteriora tion to revolutionary Communism." Imbert then sent his police to round up all "subversives." By week's end some 500 people were in jail...
...HUNGARY is hospitable to Western in fluence, as long as it does not offend its rulers by being openly antiCommunist. Budapest's relatively relaxed ways are largely the result of efforts by Premier Janos Kadar to erase the bloody stains of 1956, when he personally called in Soviet tanks to crush the revolution.

Some weeks ago, Brizola attacked the group, hinting at shady dealings with the Bank of Brazil. Diários struck back by turning loose David Nasser, 46, Brazil's best-read and most-feared columnist. In a series of four articles in the big (circ. 425,000), slick O Cruzeiro magazine, Nasser laid into Brizola as "the beast of the Apocalypse...
Private Refuge. The petty-seeming issue of the trip is actually part of a wider, more complex problem. Premier Constantine Karamanlis, 56, is a tough, staunchly antiCommunist, pro-NATO politician who in his eight years in office (the longest tenure for any Greek prime minister) has given his country stable government and a considerable measure of economic progress. But leftists and liberals attack him for allegedly having rigged the 1961 elections, which returned him to power for a fourth term, and for keeping about 1,000 political prisoners jailed who were arrested more than 15 years ago during the country...
