While a substitute indoor Mass was being celebrated at Buenos Aires' buff-colored cathedral, Peron and his top officials ostentatiously gathered at the airport to welcome Argentine Boxer Pascual Perez home from Japan, where he had won the flyweight (112-lb.) championship of the world.

David Michel Torino, owner of Argentina's well-named El Intransigente, was not allowed out of the country by Peron's police. Three years ago he was thrown in jail for "disrespect" of the government.
