...Argentine army has 48 active generals, and with a few exceptions they regard the nation's politics and policies as wide open to comment, advice and meddling. Last week President Pedro Aramburu, who (though he is a general himself) believes that the army's functions should be confined to national defense, sacked at least 12 meddlesome generals, including the army commander, and appeared ready to dismiss even more...
Disaffection among high army officers has plagued Aramburu ever since he came to power a year ago. Most ominously, a segment of ultranationalistic top officers, scoffing at Aramburu's ban on military candidacies, has been cheering on a dissident, unassigned general named LeÓn Bengoa as a prospect for presidential elections late next year.

Chile's Carlos Ibanez, however, was not on hand to greet them; on his way home the Chilean President had 1) run across Ecuador's Jose Maria Velasco Ibarra at the Guayaquil airport and dawdled over a glass of champagne, and 2) landed at Lima...
Next day Kubitschek and Zubiria flew on to Uruguay, deciding, by the time they arrived, that they felt "like citizens of the same country." After a noisy airport reception, the Brazilian President left for his own capital, where Vice-President Joao ("Jango") Goulart was entertaining Aramburu; Kubitschek managed to rush from the airport to the final reception for the visiting Argentine. Next day Aramburu sped off to Uruguay for a tumultuous one-day visit before returning to Buenos Aires-and Kubitschek settled down to await the arrival a few hours later of Bolivia's Hernan Siles Zuazo...
