Humiliations

In the Paraguayan capital of Asuncion, Juan Peron made the best of his second week of exile, playing with a pet anteater and smilingly shopping for a motorscooter, but the humiliations piled up:

P:The Paraguayan government, on Argentine urging, got ready to intern the ex-strongman on a ranch near orange-growing Villarrica, 90 miles from the Paraguayan-Argentine border. There Peron was to be confined to a small area and effectively silenced.

P:The Argentine government opened a public "Display of the Wealth of the ex-President" at Peron's former official residence in Buenos Aires. On exhibit: his 16 cars and 240 motorcycles and motor-scooters, his late wife Eva's 400 dresses, 600 hats, assorted mink coats and jewelry appraised at $1,000,000. A sign on one necklace noted that it was worth a month's work by 3,500 Argentine laborers.

P:The Argentine government retired Peron from the army along with 43 Peronista officers, and announced that a court of honor would try him in absentia "to analyze and judge [his] conduct"--presumably a reference to his discreditable romance with a teen-age girl (TIME, Oct. 10) and to his enrichment in office.
