Elected with the help of Peronista votes, Argentine President Arturo Fron-dizi struggled for six months to convert the ex-dictator's followers to his cause of rebuilding Argentina. Last week, in a Peronista-provoked crisis, he wrathfully turned against them...
...until three weeks ago, when the first U.S. oilmen from Loeb. Rhoades arrived at La Ventana oilfield in Mendoza province, did the meaning of Frondizi's deals sink home. A group of Peronista oilworkers in Mendoza gave Frondizi 48 hours to cancel the oil contracts. When Frondizi ignored their ultimatum, they struck.

Frondizi got word to drop all court cases against Peronistas, return all Peronista property, and fire the federal judges appointed by the military regime...
...cold, misty night, 10,000 oppositionists gathered in Constitution Plaza to hear People's Radical Party leaders end their postelection truce by charging Frondizi with selling out to both Peronistas and Communists. More ominous than the rally was a flurry of small, secret meetings among young anti-Peronista officers in barracks and military clubs...
