...strike had come) commanded only a few thousand men. They seemed little more dangerous to Perón & Co. than the June 16 rebellion, snuffed out in six hours by inner-circle generals guarding their vested interests in the Perón regime. But this time rebel leaders showed spectacular dime-novel pluck and luck. While Generals Lonardi and Videla Balaguer were holding Córdoba, Vice Admiral Isaac Rojas daringly boarded the navy's flagship cruiser, locked the Peronista fleet commander in his cabin, invited the navy to join the rebellion.

In Tyler, Texas, where an industrial foundation supported by local businessmen will build a plant to a newcomer's specifications, and rent or sell it back to him at going rates, 40 new industries have moved in within ten years. In Scranton, Pa., a city development commission has rallied more than 3,400 investors who have contributed $3,500,000 to build more than 25 plants that have added $23 million in new paychecks.
