Inscriptions Typed in black ink on applied label, verso BC: (Peru) 7/62 29) DEFEATED AND DITCHED: Presidential runner-up Fernando \ Belaunde Terry had the support of extreme nationalists and ultra-leftists \ who feared the victory of anti-Communist Haya de la Torre. But when \ the close election results made a compromise with Haya inevitable, the \ nationalist generals withdrew their support from Belaunde Terry and voided \ the entire election. \ Credit: ANDREW ST.
