...military, though not ready to march, is plainly unhappy about the Communist-coddling tactics of one of the military's own: Rear Admiral Wolfgang Larrazábal, chief of the country's ruling junta, who is apparently trying to line up enough popular support to become a "unity" candidate for President in the Nov. 30 election. In a series of quiet meetings, top officers drew up a paper complaining about the "shameful events" of the Nixon visit, demanding that Communists and far leftists be fired from government posts. The military had not decided where or when...
...five months since Rear Admiral Wolfgang Larrazábal's junta took over Venezuela, Larrazábal has gone perplexingly out of his way to be kind to Communists. Last week, as the Provisional President held his first regular weekly press conference at Caracas' White Palace, his reasoning seemed to come a little clearer.

But after Nixon's life was endangered by Red-led mobs, the junta's two civilians, Eugenio Mendoza and Bias Lamberti, resigned in protest over the easy treatment of Communists...
...embassy officials and long lines of silent troops waited to see the Nixons off at the airport. At 5:09 p.m. the DC-6B flicked off the runway and turned north for Puerto Rico and U.S. soil. In Caracas the night before, Venezuela's Provisional President Rear Admiral Wolfgang Larrazabal, gloomily twirling a yellow pencil, had expressed his fervent regrets. "It is very sad," he murmured. "I shall never forget this thing all my life...
