is behind a new wave of anti-
Semitic leaflets being distributed
house-to-house here.
In a letter to the Minister of In-
terior Aruro Mor Roig, the DAIA,
the central representative body of
Argentine Jewry, described the
four-nage leaflets as being "chock-
full of false allegations, insults and
canards about Jews."
The DAIA said the material,
which first appeared here last
February, also was being sent
to military leaders, trade union
officials and members of the
clergy.
The letter said the anonymity of
the leaflets made it difficult to
trace the authors or to find out
who finances, prints and dis-
