Earlier in the week Aramburu stilled another feud by replacing Finance Minister Roberto Verrier, who had forecast huge trade and budget deficits and had urged stern austerity (TIME. April 1). To salvage at least part of Verrier's plan, Aramburu chose ex-Banker Adalberto Krieger Vasena. 37, who promptly vowed to work toward austerity but "with adaptations imposed by the course of events...

All last week Colonel Hector Caraccioli, 34, a U.S.-trained pilot who commands the air force, and Major Roberto Galvez, 31, an engineering officer who studied at Louisiana State University, talked it over with aging (71) Don Julio. Then, lining up support from General Roque J. Rodriguez, 55, commander of the country's military academy and an old hand at Central American revolutions, they gave Lozano polite overnight...
