Former President Seen Leading Nicaragua Revolt
Reports claim former President Ger Anastasia Somozi, out of office 26 days, engineered a bloodless coup in Managua by Gen. Sormosa after Arguello informed him he had two years to leave. Arguello reportedly jailed at the presidential palace as loyal officers were rounded up, with Somoza’s supporters guiding a transition to a Somoza ally in February and a May installation. Censorship blocked official clarification while a separate dispatch noted six U.S. Army B-17 crash survivors found in a Nicaraguan jungle. Pan American Airways resumed travel to Managua.
