Videla to assume Argentina presidency amid junta rule
The Argentine military junta announced Gen Jorge R. Videla would become president on Monday while remaining army commander in chief. The decree also said the service chiefs would hold posts for up to three years as the junta aims to crush subversion and dismiss officials tied to leftist groups. The fate of Eva Peron remains unresolved as arrests continue and Mrs. Peron is held at a remote estate.

The GAO says the all volunteer force cost about 70 million dollars in 1974 as 41 000 volunteers were dropped as unfit. It found no major drop in force quality but noted unqualified recruits slip through and early discharges occur. There is no central monitoring for quality control or recruiter malpractice.
