Peru Coup Maintains Planned Elections In June
Gen. Nicolas Lindley Lopez says the bloodless ouster of Gen. Ricardo Perez Godoy will not delay democratic elections set for June 9. The junta, led by Lindley and two others, ousted Perez Godoy over the weekend, while the six million Peruvians greeted the change calmly. Lindley, a former U S commando instructor, defends the removal as a matter of personalities within the junta and denies overthrowing the government to crown Godoy as dictator. He is known as anti Communist and a friend of the United States. There is no word on a fourth member joining the junta.
