President Juan Carlos Ongania of Argentina delivered greetings to the nation’s Jewish community in a Rosh Hashanah-Yom Kippur message to the DAIA, the central body of Argentine Jews.

He also expressed satisfaction that “new generations of Israelites, while continuing to be closely linked with their community, have become integrated in Argentine society and are partaking of our customs and traditions as well as our problems and aspirations for advancement.”

(Fearing that Arab terrorists might strike Israeli offices and buildings during the Rosh Hashanah holiday, British police and security officials tightened up their watch this weekend. The entire police and security establishment took seriously the warning last week by the Popular Front for the Liberation of Palestine, a terrorist group, that it planned full-scale warfare against Israeli and Zionist interests around the world.)
