...Honduras, President López, 53, has vehemently denied receiving any bribes, and hastily appointed a blue-ribbon commission headed by the Roman Catholic Archbishop of Tegucigalpa, the republic's capital, to find out who did. Lopez, who overthrew a liberal government in a bloody 1963 coup led by tanks, rules by decree. But lately he has been in political trouble with his own four-man Superior Council of the Armed Forces; two weeks ago, he was abruptly replaced as head of the army by one of his strongest rivals, Colonel Juan Alberto Melgar Castro.

Gelbard is a Jew. This conflict is expected to get worse as it becomes...
...person already suspected of trying to become the power behind the throne is Minister of Social Welfare José López Rega, 54, who was Perón's private secretary and astrologer in exile. López Rega stood prominently behind Isabelita each time she addressed the nation on television last week, and except for her, he was the only Cabinet member to make a TV speech after Perón's death. Radical leftist Peronists despise the ultra-conservative López Rega and have threatened to assassinate him. Last week, in a warning aimed at him, the leader of the radical leftist...
