While Haya seems slightly weaker, so does Architect Fernando Belaúnde Terry, 52, whose Acción Popular Party finished a fraction of a percentage point behind Haya last year. He now has the support of Peru's Castroites and many Communists, which will win him some votes but cost him the wealthy conservatives who filled his campaign coffers in 1962. Even more damaging to his image, after last year's election, Belaúnde ordered his Congressmen-elect to renounce their seats, disguised himself as an Indian and raced off to the rebellion-prone city...

In 1961 Odría was hit in the face by a potato during his first campaign venture outside the capital of Lima and he never set foot in the provinces again.

Under this pressure, the new three-man junta renewed its "unswerving decision to hold elections next June 9." New President Lindley, who cherishes no affection whatsoever for Haya and APRA, felt compelled to announce that...
...Foreign Legion in 1916 and the U.S. Foreign Service in 1920, where later, as a wartime consul in neutral Sweden, he earned the U.S.'s highest civilian honor, the Medal of Freedom, for personal espionage that pinpointed Nazi Germany's V-2 rocket bases at Peenemünde; of a heart attack; in San Diego's U.S. Naval Hospital...
