PERONS CROSSED OUT
Buenos Aires, Oct. 26. Behind a short announcement by the Ministry of Education that pro-Peronista schoolbool are to be replaced as soon as possible by others, is n story that touches the lives of seven-year-old Elaine Frances Clark and hundreds of thousands of boys and girls in primary schools in Argentina.
Juan Domingo Peron, the fallen dictator, spent some time in Rome as Military Attache during Mussolini's Fascist regime. How much he learned from what he saw there is difficult to say, but when he came to power as President in his own country in 1946, he lost no time in following the example of Adolf Hitler, Benito Mussolini and Josef Stalin, in setting out to "catch them young." He swept away the existing | school textbooks branched of Jextbooks and replaced them in a new direction.
