Message to Garcia. On the other side of the Capitol, the House Rules Committee continued to hold what it euphemistically calls hearings on the Administration's civil rights bill.

He became chief of "criminal investigations" for Madrid, Valencia and Barcelona, ferreting out supporters of Francisco Franco. Part of Grimau's job was to serve on kangaroo courts, called Chekas (after the onetime initials of the Soviet secret police), which ordered dozens of summary death sentences during the brutal three-year...
...comfortable, Swiss-style chalet overlooking a lake 13 miles outside of Bariloche. But when he complained that it was too remote from his friends, the government obligingly moved him to a hotel nearer town. Frondizi's visitors, so tightly limited by the military when he was on Martin Garcia, will be limited only by Frondizi's wishes and Bariloche's remote ness from the capital...
