...South America, Ike will touch down in Brazil (Feb. 23-26), Argentina (Feb. 26-29), Chile (Feb. 29-March 2) and Uruguay (March 2-3). Noticeably absent from the itinerary are Peru and Venezuela, where Communist-led mobs heckled and attacked Vice President Nixon on his tour (TIME, May 19, 1958 et seq.); the White House diplomatically pointed out that a visit to Peru would also entail a stop-off in neighboring Ecuador, where the capital of Quito is too high (9.350 ft. above sea level) for a man with the President's heart history...

He could only have been amazed at what he found: a community of Indians who had no Bible and could not read it if they had, although they observed the Sabbath and' knew much of Moses' teaching. He settled among them for several months, pieced...

President Jorge Alessandri of neighboring Chile, who earlier had assailed the "ruinous competition" in weapons, observed that "it is not a logical attitude to propose a conference and then to buy new arms."
