Junta Happy To See U S Envoy Leave
U S Ambassador James Loeb left Lima to report on Peru’s military coup and ease tensions with Washington. Peru’s foreign ministry accused him of helping create a climate of misunderstanding that cut aid, which Loeb denied. Police broke up a 500-student anti-coup rally led by leftist APRA members. Caracas said eight of eleven nations seek a hemisphere foreign ministers meeting on Peru, with Guatemala undecided. Brazil opposed the meeting citing nonintervention concerns.
