Argentina's President Juan Peron sent his military aide to the Commerce Ministry on an important errand one afternoon last week. After a ten-minute, closed-door talk with the brass-braided errand boy, young (30), earnest Commerce Minister Antonio Cafiero called his top assistants together and said goodbye. A practicing Roman Catholic and a Catholic Action leader in his student days, Cafiero had just become the first minister to lose his job as a result of the "war that Perón has been waging against the Catholic Church (TiME, April 18 et ante). On another front...
...march beyond the Church of Monserrat was a crossing of the Rubicon in the struggle between the uneasy strongman and the church. As recently as a few weeks ago, a closed-door meeting between Perón and the Archbishop of Buenos Aires could touch off widespread rumors of a truce. Last week any lingering wisps of hope for a peace evaporated. Perón called his envoy to the Vatican home for "consultations," and the Vatican reciprocated by summoning its apostolic nuncio to Rome for "consultations." The official Vatican newspaper, Osservatore Romano, labeled Perón's government...
Comings & Goings. CBS went to color for its hour-long production of Stage Door. As on Broadway, the action was confined largely to an actresses' boarding house, and the TV cameras had to hop to keep up with the frantic comings and goings of girls, guys and assorted spear-carriers.

Furthermore, Johnson had hoped to have Lord Chesterfield as his patron, but found himself merely cooling his heels in the great man's anteroom. "Seven years, my Lord, have now passed since I waited in your outward rooms or was repulsed from your door, during which time I have been pushing on my work through difficulties of which it is useless to complain . . . without one act of assistance, one word of encouragement, or one smile of favor." A patron, Johnson bitterly declared in the Dictionary, is "one who countenances, supports or protects. Commonly a wretch who supports with insolence...
...second-generation boss of the firm, housed Kohler workers in a beautiful model town, but would not give his workers the right to bargain collectively. An A.F.L. strike for union recognition in 1934 cost two lives, saw the strikers stone and dent the Kohler plant's front door, brought in the National Guard, ended with the union defeated (see cut). Eighteen years later labor attacked again, and this time breached the porcelain-hard curtain: the U.A.W. won an NLRB election, recognition as the employees' bargaining agent and a contract which the U.A.W. called "inferior...
