...glad to see her. Perón sent her over partly to whip into line those faction chiefs who want to move on without the aging strongman, notably tough Augusto ("El Lobo") Vandor, who since her return has taken over the giant General Confederation of Labor, historic citadel of Peronismo. Perón obviously hoped that Isabelita would prove as dynamic and domineering as his previous wife, the fabulous Evita-and Isabelita has rallied 14 of the 52 Peronista Deputies in Parliament and 18 of the 62 Peronista unions, claims 20% of the rank and file as well...
...next big test comes at the provincial elections in Mendoza next month, when she and the neo-Peronistas affiliated with Vandor should roll up an impressive vote. In preparation, her lieutenants were busy last week planning a "national assembly of Peronismo" to be held in Tucumán, which is expected to rally 3,500 delegates to her support. El Lobo (The Wolf) is still unimpressed. Commented one photographer as he watched Isabelita click into the house on the Calle French: "There goes the Little Red Ridinghood that El Lobo is going...
...devious scheme into which Perón has been drawn by his top lieutenant in Argentina-Augusto Timoteo Vandor, 41. Known as El Lobo, The Wolf, Vandor has already proved his cunning by shouldering aside old-line Peronista bosses for control of the Peronista organization.

The man behind it is not so much Peron himself as Augusto Timoteo Vandor, 43, El Lider's new top lieutenant in Argentina. A onetime navy mechanic, Vandor drifted into the powerful, 275,000-member Metallurgical Workers Union in the early 1950s, quietly made his way up through the union hierarchy, and was soon reaching for control of the entire Peronista movement. His chief opponent was Andres Framini, 50, head of the 100,000 member Textile Workers...
Wolf at the Door. Framini and Vandor are a study in contrasts. Framini, the stolid embodiment of the old Peronismo, is boastful, loudly emotional, disorganized; his course is "revolution" and an "open fight." Vandor is more flexible-and smart enough to know that Peron could never rule Argentina as dictator again. He believes in "Peronismo without Peron," talks "negotiation" and "legalismo...
