Another conspicuous sign was the Ingalinelia case. Among the Argentines of various political colorings rounded up on June 16. was one Dr. Juan Ingalinella, a physician and an admitted Communist.

One of the most lavish was Madam Safe's spacious chalet in the city of Rosario. The staircases were marble, the curtains red velvet, the bedclothes silk, the girls mainly French or Polish, and the going rate about the equivalent of an average white-collar worker's weekly wage...
