...Down. The months in between have produced only minor shifts. And yet this time they could prove decisive. Victor Raúl Haya de la Torre, 68, founding father of the revolutionary-turned-reformist APRA party, still retains much of his old magic for Peru's peasants and workers. But he disillusioned many supporters in 1962 by trying to make a quick postelection deal to share power with an old enemy, ex-Dictator Manuel Odría. Important unions that once turned out a solid APRA vote have been taken over by far-leftists, who have no liking...
...expect that attentive TIME readers, as opposed to most Americans, should easily be able to pass a quiz identifying the nationality of such names as Rómulo Betancourt, João Goulart, François Duvalier, Jânio Quadros, Arturo Frondizi, Victor Raúl Haya de la Torre, López Mateos and Cantinflas...
Pressured Promise. Politically, Pérez Godoy was generally in favor of carrying out the promised June elections even if they should result in a victory for the leftist-turned-moderate APRA Party of Victor Raúl Haya de la Torre.

Several Red leaders were released from jail, known Communists were appointed to labor councils. Emboldened by this freedom, the Reds had gone about their violent errands with such a will that the junta could no longer ignore them...
Kneeling before a crucifix in the palace, the four-man junta swore itself into office. The soldiers then suspended all constitutional guarantees, dissolved Congress, arrested Electoral Tribunal officials "for trial," and promised "clean and pure elections" on June 9, 1963. Haya and other leaders of his party fled underground. The APRA-controlled Workers Confederation declared a general strike for this week. Crowds that gathered before the palace to shout "Viva la libertad!" and "Down with the junta!" were beaten with truncheons by police or routed with tear...
