Major General J. M. Keevy, the acting chief of police here; declared today that reports about the existence of a secret Nazi, anti-Semitic organization in South Africa were “unfounded.”

The press reported a week ago that such an organization in this country had been discovered and that the South African group, responsible for several anti-Jewish bombings, was linked with the anti-Semitic Tacuara movement of Argentina. “If such an organization did exist,” said Gen. Keevy, “the police would, without a doubt, become aware of its establishment, and would take the necessary steps.”
