...Madrid's Delicias Station one morning last week, a thousand ardent Spanish monarchists shouted a lusty welcome to 17-year-old Prince Juan Carlos de Bourbon, who arrived from Lisbon after spending a vacation with his exiled father, Pretender Don Juan. The train was ceremoniously brought into the station by the Count of Alcubierre, an amateur engine driver, while dukes and marquesas cried "Viva el Rey." Stern Franco police made no effort to interfere. The demonstration was enthusiastic but possibly a little premature: as Franco now sees it, 13 years must elapse before Prince Juan can become king (TIME...
...they sloshed up the mud-laden roads toward the border of Goa. The long-heralded invasion was on. In the lush, Rhode Island-sized Portuguese colony on the west coast of India, 4,000 African troops and 1,000 Goan police waited, guns loaded and aimed. In far-off Lisbon, frantic crowds prayed in churches and demonstrated in the streets against the coming onslaught on Portugal's ancient colony...
...symbol of a golden age of Portuguese conquest four centuries ago and important to Catholic Portuguese as the final resting place of St. Francis Xavier.

In Albuquerque, the finishing touches were being put on a deal to put Atlas solidly into a new field-uranium mining-by taking over the Lisbon Uranium Co. (TIME. May 3). In Buenos Aires, Odlum emerged from a two-hour conference with President Juan Perón to announce that "an agreement in principle" had been reached on a 25-year oil-development contract between Argentina, Atlas, and Dresser Industries of Dallas, involving nearly $100 million. Odlum...
...Promising Claims. While Odlum was negotiating with Perón, Atlas representatives were putting through a deal with stockholders of Lisbon Uranium by which three companies linked with Atlas (Wasatch Corp., San Diego Corp. and Air-fleets, Inc.) took over control of Lisbon. In exchange for 2,800,000 shares of stock (out of 4,150,000 outstanding), the Odlum interests turned over to Lisbon 15 promising uranium claims in southeast Utah and cash for diamond-drilling with a total value of $930,000. The claims are all near the rich mine started by Charlie Steen (TIME...
