Jewish leaders were reported today to be gravely concerned over the action of Judge Eugenio Wade in releasing a number of members of the anti-Semitic Tacuara group who were arrested during training exercises in a camp in Sante Fe province.
It was noted that under the law, he could have acted against the Tacuara members to repress terrorist and anti-democratic activities. The Jewish leaders recalled that another Judge, Arturo Medina, was equally lenient with pro-Nazi youths who attacked a synagogue in Florida, a suburb of Buenos Aires, last year, wounding two Jewish girls in the gun attack. Judge Medina released the attackers on bail of $70 and $35.
