Despite strong oppo sition from business groups, the Roman Catholic Church and most of the press, another of Frondizi's vote-getting prom ises to the Peronistas was thus made good. The bill, rammed through the Chamber of Deputies two weeks earlier by the gov ernment's two-thirds majority, is admira bly democratic in form. It requires Frondizi to name government administrators, who must hold free elections of officers in each of the C.G.T.'s 138 member unions within 90 days. Unions recognized by the Labor Ministry will get tax exemptions, exclusive bargaining rights in their fields and compulsory checkoff of dues. Charges of unfair labor practices will be ruled on by a government board. But so much democracy, in the practi cal terms of the moment, means so much Peronism. In the days of the dictatorship, the C.G.T. was run from top to bottom by Peronistas, and the rank and file still remember the lavish raises and feather bedding privileges that the Peronista lead ers won. Even during the days of the provisional military regime that preceded Frondizi. the Peronistas held on to control of many unions. They now boss 90, in cluding the powerful meat packers, street car workers and textile workers. In the new elections they will probably take over most of the 26 unions currently bossed by anti-Peronistas and the 22 unions now run by Communists or Socialists. With control of the C.G.T.'s national machinery and most of the member un ions, Peronism will have its old mass or ganization intact. But Frondizi has shown no intention of letting Peron himself re turn to Argentina. In his delicate, dan gerous balancing act, the left-of-center President has allowed Peronism to rebuild itself as a counterweight to the conserva tive army and business elements. Now he must endure the kind of greedy heckling at which Peronistas excel. CELOTONE TILE One of the many types of Acousti-Celotex products. Where You See This Ceiling...
