5., PERONISTAS REPQRTED PLANNING STRIKE FOR
17 OCTOBER ANNIVERSARY
Peronista elements will try to create
trouble on 17 October, the anniversary
of the day labor demonstrations forced Peron's release
from jail and return to power in 1945. Pamphlets are
distributed warning persons not to attem t
to work on this day at the risk of being shot.
The director of national security has
issued a communique warning against possible disorders
and advising that energetic measures will be taken against
disturbers of the peace.
Comment Under Peron, 17 October was a legal
holiday marked by mass loyalty rallies
under the auspices of the General Confederation of Labor
(CGT), which had won out over anti-Peron military leaders
in .1945. The military leaders now in power in Argentina
appear capable of preventing a repetition of the events of
1945, but the CGT has not announced allegiance to the new
government.
