Abstract

The article reports on Argentine government's closure of the newspaper "La Prensa" in March 1951. The representatives of "La Prensa" signed papers delivering the newspaper to the government while the congressional committee closed the books and ordered to seal the doors. "La Prensa" owner and editor in chief, Doctor Alberto Gainza Paz, sent a letter to the congressional committee charging that it had exceeded its power and was then held up by the police while trying to board a plane to Uruguay. Gainza Paz disappeared which led to a police search.
