IN BUENOS AIRES, a very small fry dissenter in background injects a loud and sour note into the festivities as Peron admirers cheer the Argentine president after his election. The infant obviously isn't one bit impressed with the fact that Juan Peron has been returned to office for another six-year term. The Radical party in Argentina said that many of the vote totals announced in the recent election were incorrect and filed protests.
Italy's Rivers Bring Death Prosperity To River Basins
Washington, D. C. — Northern Italy's most disastrous floods of the century have already cost more than 100 lives and an estimated half billion dollars.
The rampaging Po and other rivers of the north Italian plain have marooned thousands of residents, necessitating dramatic rescue by hast-assembled boats, and air drops of supplies to isolated communities.
Such inundations are not new to the northern Adriatic coast of Italy, says the National Geographic Society. The danger has kept the building of cities to comparatively high ground, away from the rivers.
The filling-in process, geologically speaking, has moved at a rapid rate, and has continued noticeably in recorded time. The cities of Ravenna and Adria were once great seaports, but slitting and shifting coastal sands have built up land to the east, leaving them stranded in marshy ground.
The Po, its 417 miles making it Italy's longest river, as well as the Adige and tributary rivers flowing down from the Alps, have carried silt toward the sea, gradually filling in the basin to form Italy's greatest agricultural and industrial region. The entire area was once under the waters of the Adriatic sea.

Flood control projects were undertaken by the Etruscans, the Romans, and the Italians. All the rivers of the lower Po valley are diked, and the Po itself is some 20 feet higher than the surrounding countryside, due to constant silting and diking.
Adriatic and was a major port for the Etruscans, pre-Roman rulers of Italy. It is now 15 miles inland. Ravenna, an ancient Roman port, is five miles from the Adriatic.
The Po basin also is crisscrossed by the routes of the invaders of Italy—Goths, Huns, Germans and others—and its cities were strongholds of plot, intrigue, and violence in the fratricidal wars of the Middle Ages.
In the fertile basin of the Po, but in comparatively high ground, are many of Italy's great cities. Turin is near the headwaters of the stream. Milan is to the north, on the Lombard plain, and Bologna lies to the south, at the base of the Apennines, Italy's central mountain backbone.
There is no illiteracy in Iceland. The island republic publishes more new books per capita than any other country in the world.
