An emergency session of the DAIA, the central body of Argentine Jewry, was told today that the outlawed anti-Semitic ultra-nationalistic Tacuara group still has vastly greater supplies of arms than those already seized by the Government.
Some 110 delegates from all parts of the country were told by Herzl Gesang, DAIA general secretary, that, since the ban on the organization, Tacuara had organized a cell system and “probably has 100 times more arms and force” than those originally found which he described as substantial.
The meeting issued a statement hailing the Government for its “energetic action” to combat the threat, but stressed that only the left wing section of the banned movement was being prosecuted. Dr.; Leon Perez told the meeting that there was a danger that the movement, made up of followers of exiled former dictator Juan Peron, was turning anti-Semitic, adding that a tendency in that direction was “already visible. “
