While State's lawyers stewed, one indignant yelp arose from an area where the shoe might pinch. In wrathful comment on a New York Times story which raised the question of Argentina's "totalitarian" President Perón, Buenos Aires' die-hard Peronista daily La Epoca bellowed: "Such newspapers should not have the right to print, even on toilet paper, such libelous information [against] . . . a nation which is leading the world in the art of liberating people from Communist infection...

Casella, a Radical, had been found guilty of remaining seated during a rising tribute to Argentina's liberator, José de San Martin. The entire Peronista propaganda machine swung into action to have Casella expelled. As Minister of Education, and as chairman of the current Year of San Martin celebrations, Ivanissevich was ordered to schedule one hour of speechmaking in the schools to blot out Casella's insult to the liberator...
