Last month in a provincial by-election, Allende's forces administered a crushing defeat to the right-of-center, three-party Democratic front that brought President Alessandri to power in 1958. As a result, the front split wide open and its candidate, Julio Duran, 46, leader of the middle-road Radical Party, resigned from the race in tears. To keep his own party from dissolving, Duran has now decided to re-enter the campaign on the Radical ticket alone. But the best he can hope for is enough votes to wield a balance of power in a close election...
...CHILE: With general elections less than six months away, a congressional election in Curicó, south of Santiago, turned the sleepy farming province into a sort of Latin New Hampshire. Campaigning as if it were the real thing were the three principal presidential candidates: Julio Durán of the right-wing Democratic Front, the coalition of President Jorge Alessandri (who cannot succeed himself); Salvador Allende of the Communist-dominated Popular Action Front; and Eduardo Frei of the left-of-center Christian Democrats. In 1958 Allende came breathtakingly close to becoming the first avowed far-leftist to be elected President...
...SALVADOR: In 1961 opposition parties were thoroughly discouraged when President Julio Rivera's National Conciliation Party won all 54 seats in the legislature.

The opposition remained skeptical but campaigned vigorously through the tiny Central American republic. When the votes were tallied, Rivera's party retained 32 Assembly seats; the Christian Democrats took 14 seats plus the mayoralty of San Salvador, while another middle-of-the-road party...
...Last week Ecuadorian Sailor Julio Luna, whose grenade-smashed right hand had been replaced by a transplant from a recently dead donor (TIME, March 6), was flown to Boston's Peter Bent Brigham Hospital. There doctors concluded, "The natural rejection mechanism of the patient had progressed to the point that prolongation of the transplant would jeopardize the health of the patient's whole arm," reluctantly amputated Luna's new hand...
...sailor named Julio Luna Vera, 32, was brought into Ecuador's Clinica Guayaquil with a right hand so shattered by a grenade explosion that amputation was necessary. Dr. Roberto Gilbert Elizalde, 47, who had never done any transplant work, decided to try. He put a tourniquet on Luna's arm and cooled it with cracked ice. He had a donor: a 43-year-old laborer-also named Luna-who lay dying of internal hemorrhage in another Guayaquil hospital where his family gave permission for the transplant...
