...Plata, the meat-packing city just downriver from the capital, the plotters successfully subverted the 7th Infantry Regiment. But soldiers and marines held the rebels at bay in the barracks until after dawn. Then the admiral sent jet planes to bomb and strafe the barracks, and the insurgents surrendered. Deeper in the pampas, plotters captured government buildings and a radio station at the cattle capital of Santa Rosa. Over the radio, for three hours, they demanded "freedom for all political prisoners, elections in six months, the cancellation of the Prebisch [economic recovery] Plan, lower living costs."

A worker can buy a refrigerator for $165, but his annual income is about $600. Six families sometimes share a kitchen and a toilet...
...some very juicy meat for the carnivorous Commies in your report on Louisiana's Bossier Parish school board action. We are still laughing heartily at the Communist Party's difficulties in their attempt to debunk Stalin; however, it becomes a tragedy when American public schools resort to similar "educational" tactics...
