...appointed Colonel Valentin Galarza Morante Minister of Government. The nearest thing to a confidant that General Franco has, Galarza will be in charge of local and provincial governments, propaganda, health, relief, national reconstruction, the national police. Since Boss Franco's brother-in-law and the Falangists' boss, Ramon Serrano Suner, gave up this portfolio last autumn to concentrate on the Foreign Ministry, the Ministry of Government has been run by Jose Lorente, one of Serrano's disciples...
...small house in Buenos Aires' Calle Juncal last week a bustling blonde housekeeper dusted provincial furniture, straightened somber religious pictures, made an old-fashioned brass bed. Icy rains had brought autumn to Argentina, and the master of the house in the Calle Juncal, Ramon S. Castillo, was moving in from his suburban quinta in Martinez beside the Rio de la Plata.

As Vichy denied Marshal Petain would join the conference...
...intrigue and maneuvering which swirled through the Mansión Presidential accomplished little. Ailing President Roberto Morcelino Ortiz, one eye blinded with the diabetes which forced him out of office on sick leave, blinked and did nothing. Tough, leathery old Vice President Ramon S. Castillo was running the Government to suit himself, yet no one knew for how long. Argentina was still a country without a leader...
