Inscriptions Typed in black ink on applied label, verso C: (Peru) 7/62 30) STRONGMAN FAILS: General Manuel Odria, whose portrait \ is here held aloft by a supporter, ran third in the Presidential election. \ Strongman and former President (1948-56), he made a surprisingly strong \ showing. Despite his Army ties, he lost the support of the armed forces \ when he decided to make a deal with APRA. \ Credit: ANDREW ST. GEORGE © 1962 MAGNUM Photos
