...President. A third Negro, Clifford Alexander, succeeds Taylor in the White House post; only 32 years old, Alexander graduated from Harvard cum laude, took a law degree at Yale, has been deputy special assistant to the President since last year.

Their leaders are Communist professionals: Guillermo Lobaton, 34, a Peruvian trained in insurgency in Cuba and Red China and reported to have fought with the Viet Cong, and Castroite Lawyer Luis de la Puente, 36, wanted in Lima for a 1962 murder. The terrorists preach the usual Communist line about capitalist exploitation and free land for all, attempt to counter the government's own considerable efforts at aid and social reform among the Indians by warning that free flour...
