BUENOS AIRES, (JTA) —
Captain Enrique Horacio Green,
the retired naval captain who
heads the Argentine Federal
police, completely exonerated
the Tacuara movement of anti-
Semitism, although many news-
papers and public personalities
in Argentina have maintained
that Tacuara leaders themselves
acknowledge their anti - Semi-
tism.
"There is no evidence to im-
plicate the Tacuara group in
any anti-Semitic event," Captain
Green maintained during a
press interview here. Asked
about the published report of
Tacuara anti-Semitism, he said
he held his opinion despite the
fact that others, who have free-
dom of expression, accuse Tac-
uara of admitted anti-Semitism.
Anti-Semitic manifestations
in Argentina he insisted, have
been "exaggerated" and ex-
ploited "by Communists who
try to prove that there is
r ac i a I persecution in this
country." Racism, he said, ex-
ists in Argentina "on a very
small scale" and is being prac-
ticed "by a small minority."
The police chief declared
that the execution of Adolf
Eichmann in Israel caused re-
actions "among some people
here, moved deeply by purely
nationalistic sentiments." The
"pride" of such people was
hurt, he held, resulting "in a
few anti-Semitic incidents." But
Tacuara had nothing to do with
such incidents, although "some"
of its members "may or may
not have participated," the po-
lice head said.
Shortly before the police
chief made his statement, the
operators of the Independents
Theater in downtown Buenos
Aires appealed for police pro-
tection against "Nazi hit and
run gangs." The appeal said the
Rosh Hashanah
Chocolates by
theater had been attacked five
times recently. At the most re-
cent attack, which took place on
Aug. 27, three young gunthen
wounded two actors. Police seiz-
ed the three youths in the first
attack since the recent spurt of
anti-Semitic incidents began last
spring.
Alberto Ezcurra, leader of
the youth section of the Tac-
uara movement, indicated that
he disagreed with the police
chief's view that the Tacuara
was not anti-Semitic. He said
that the Tacuara backs fully
the anti-Jewish views express-
ed by Father Julio Meivielle,
a Jesuit whom the Tacuara
considers its spokesman on
the Jewish question.
The Argentine Jesuit priest
has written a violently anti-
Semitic book "The Jew—A Mys-
tery of History." The book was
published in 1959 and is now in
its third edition. It has also
been issued abroad. While some
Catholics consider Father Meivi-
elle merely a fanatic, a promi-
nent Latin American Catholic
educator—Father Mario Pinto,
professor at the Catholic Uni-
versity of San Salvador—who is
currently visiting Buenos Aires,
said that his views "reflect the
doctrinal position of the Cath-
olic Church on the Jewish prob-
lem."
"He is hardly a fanatic,"
Father Pinto said. "He has dedi-
cated his life to philosophical
studies and correctly reflects
the Church's doctrinal position
on the Jewish problem. What
he says about the Jews in Ar-
gentina is only the application
of a general thesis."
The oldest Jewish cemetery
in Warsaw, Poland, which was
to have a strip carved out of it
for a main thoroughfare, has
been saved following a discus-
sion with the Polish Ambassa-
dor to the United States, the
American Jewish Committee
announced.
Jacob Blaustein, of Balti-
more, an honorary president of
the AJC, met with Polish Am-
bassador Edward Drozniak to
discuss the possible threat to
the cemetery. Also present at
the meeting were Prof. Tadeusz
Lychowski, Polish Plenipotenti-
ary for Economic Affairs, and
Dr. Simon Segal, director of the
AJC foreign affairs department.
According to a plan for re-
building Warsaw, a main thor
oughfare was to be directed
through the Gesia Street Jewish
Cemetery, which is the oldest
in the city and probably one of
the best known in Europe. It
has particular historical signifi-
cance since important scholars,
intellectuals and Jewish leaders
of the last two or three hundred
years are buried there.
On hearing of the plan, Jews
