FRONDIZI'S ELECTION
NO PERONIST VICTORY
SANTIAGO -(UP)- Florencio
Galleguillos, Chilean Deputy in
vestigating Peronist in~filtration
in this country in 1855, declared
those who think that Peronism
has triumphed with Artuto From
dizi are mistaken.
On the contrary, he affirmed,
it is evidence of a vigorous demo-
cratic awakening, tending to a re-
~storation of democracy in the
neighbor country.
Typical Peronism, he added, was
represented by Attic Bramuglia,
ex minister of Foreign Relations
OF Juan Per6n, who said Peronists
would cast blank votes with or
without Peron's order.
Il have been informed, on the
other hand, that Frondizi never
made any pact with the ex-Dicta-
