The Jewish population of the Bolivian capital of La Paz is alarmed at the appearance throughout the city of posters warning them to leave the country within two months or be killed, according to reports reaching here today.
Meanwhile, the arrival here of Victor Paz Estensoro, head of the Bolivian fascist movement, was used by the Alianza Liberatadora Nacionalista, local fascist group, to hold an anti-Semitic demonstration. Speakers attacked the Jews while other members of the party raised anti-Jewish posters and others chalked slanderous slogans on the walls of nearby buildings.
Three Jewish physicians were today dismissed from the staffs of municipal hospitals here. No reason was given for their discharge. Among the professors recently dismissed from Argentine universities in a purge of anti-Peronists ware Dr. Jacobo Wainer, a professor of Economics and formerly chief government accountant, and Dr. Sanson Raskovsky, professor of Logic. Both men are active in Jewish communal life–Dr. Wainer has been a member of the executive board of the DAIA, central representative body of Argentine Jewry, for the past 20 years, while Dr. Raskovsky is a founder and one-time president of the Sociedad Hebraica Argentina.
