The Things They Say

In Buenos Aires, with its docile press, rumors are often the aperitifs and canapes that come before a feast of news. Last week Argentines were enjoying the headiest, spiciest assortment of rumors since last April, when President Juan Peron survived a crisis of bomb-throwing by his enemies. The choicest tidbits:

P: Before the month is out, Peron may declare an amnesty, free 120 political prisoners and let 300 exiles come home.

P: The electoral law will be overhauled so that opponents of the regime can share one-third of the seats in Congress. Then elections will be called for April 1954. P: At the same time, a Vice President, to replace Hortensio Quijano (who died more than a year ago), will be elected. Likely candidates: Foreign Minister Jernoimo Remorino, Minister of Labor and Welfare Alejandro Giavarini, Minister of Technical Affairs Raul Mende.

P: After that, Peron may visit the U.S.
