A rightist Catholic group, “Unites Argentina,” placed wall posters here today which appealed for a victory by King Hussein of Jordan “over our enemies” and for the strengthening of his forces to “liberate the holy places from infidel hands.” The posters showed a photograph of the King with Pope Paul. The text on the posters read: “Homage and gratitude to his majesty, King Hussein of Jordan and Palestine, protector of holy places in this day when the whole of Christianity celebrates the crucifixion of Jesus Christ, killed and betrayed by a whole people.”
