Peron Gains Backing
OF Great Majority
OF Argentine Press
Sy the Associoted Press

BUENOS AIRES, Dec. 2.-An
overwhelming majority OF the Ar
sentine press supports the Peror
administration, but only recently
has a leading member of the gov
ernment publicly admitted owner
ship of an important newspaper.
Miguel Miranda, president OF the
National Economic Council, who
holds cabinet rank, was elected tC
the Board of Directors of the BuenoS
Aires tabloid Ell Mundo with two
other men, also government sup
porters, when they appeared at an
annual meeting with 81 per cent OF
the voting stock Of the thriving
corporation.
Ell Mundo, which has daily cir
culation of more than 100000, was
originally foe of President Juan
D. Peron, but early this year a
change of editorial policy was evi-
dent. Reports that the paper had
swung completely into the govern
ment orbit could not be confirmed,
however, until Mr.. Miranda ap-
peared as a director.
Policies Shifted.
The bulk of the newspapers &C
lively backing the government is a
striking contrast to late 1945 when
Gen. Peron was campaigning for the
presidency with only handful of
the Insignificant journals to help
him.
Most of the newspapers today
either are controlled by friends of
Gen. Peron or have shifted their
editorial policy because Of economic
pressure or other reasons. Many
leading figures of the government
are said to be heavy investors in
newspapers, but Mr.. Miranda is the
only one so far to appear openly as
an owner.
However, neither Ell Mundo nor
any other Argentine newspaper
published the news of his election
to the Board of Directors. Foreign
correspondents obtained the story
freely and transmitted it abroad.
The Presidents wife, Maria Eva
Duarte de Peron, is known to own
Democracia and Noticias Graficas.
two important dailies, but the pub
lie has not been informed. The
listed owner of the two papers is
Editorial Democracia, corporation.
and Democracia has gone so far as
to deny publicly that Mrs. Peron is
the owner. Nevertheless, executives
of the two papers say privately that
she is.
Three Still Oppose PerOn.

lation of more than 100000, and La

Hardly less enthusiastic in their

category. They are the Independent

Economic restrictions discourage
newspapers which are not friendly
to the administration. A shortage
of dollars led to newsprint rationing
and the government limited the
number of pages for standard-sized

AT WALLA WALLA

Tom Rackich, longtime resi-
dent of Douglas, passed away on
November in the Veterans Hos
pital at Walla Walla, Wash. and
was buried November 16 in the
Mount View Cemetery of that city.
Rackich came to Douglas direct
from Yugoslavia in 1908 to work in
the old Treadwell mines. His first
work was that of general labor, but
soon he was placed in the foundry
Of the Treadwell Mine Company,
where he served for ten years.
He left here in early 1918 to
enter service in World War I, and
had an enlistment OF eighteen
months duration after military
assignments in the United States.

can Legion and The Odd Fellows
Lodge.
The funeral services at Walla
Walla were conducted by the Lee
gion Post of that community, Post
Chaplain l.. E. Cousins officiating.
and the graveside commital was
conducted by the Odd Fellows
Lodge of Walla Walla.
Attending the final arrangements
and funeral services was his first
cousin, Nick Rocovich of the Jul
neau Linoleum Store. who has been
in Juneau since March 4. 1905,
when he came here from Cleve-
land, Ohio.
This is Nick's first trip Out
side" since his first arrival in
Alaska. After about forty-four
years of residence in Alaska, Nick
said that the features in East
ern Washington which impressed
him particularly were the intense
agricultural development in the
Yakima River Valley and Eastern
Washington's great industrial po-
tential, stemming from the vast
amount of electrical power avail
able. However, he remarked, it
seemed good to get back to verdant
Alaska.
