Peron Safe Conduct Delayed As Argentine Exile Looms
Buenos Aires nears a safe conduct for Juan Peron to exile in Paraguay as Lonardi’s provisional government delays the pass to avoid future trouble. Peron remains aboard the Paraguayan gunboat Paraguay near Buenos Aires while officials anticipate his move to Asuncion. Diplomatic sources cite the aim of placing him far from Argentina to prevent fallout, with casualties in Cordoba of 71 dead and 245 wounded reported by the Red Cross.
