ARGENTINA: MILITARY ROLE GROWS
President Peron, still fighting to remain in of-
fice, is temporarily benefiting from increased
military participation in the anti-terrorist struggle.
Military leaders seem pleased that the ad-
ministration finally acceded to their long-standing
wish for greater participation in the counterin-
surgency effort. The at -ned forces are acting on
the basis of last month's presidential decrees es-
tablishing national defense and internal security
councils. Intensified counterinsurgency
operations may divert those officers who
otherwise might be plotting against the President.
In recenz weeks, the police and the military
services have carried out large-scale operations in
Tucuman Province, long a terrorist stronghold.
They have also condt.cted numerous searches in
urban and rural areas elsewhere, and road and
highway checkpoints have been set up all over
the country. Hundreds of suspected subversives
reportedly have been arrested, and some have
been killed in sweeps that for the first time have
been supported by helicopters and other aircraft.
For the moment, the increased military role
in the conterinsurgency effort seems to be
alleviating the pressure on Peron. In the longer
run, however, it could pave the way for greater
military influence in national affairs.
Already the service chiefs are reportedly
pressing to have their greater powers formalized.
They are backing new legislation that would not
only recognize armed forces authority in the an-
ti-guerrilla struggle but would expand the defini-
tion of subversion to include financial wrongdo-
ing and corrupt on in office. This could prove par-
ticularly worrisome to an administration that is
trying to block an investigation of high-level cor-
ruption that could well incriminate Peron. Senate
president Luder is said to have told colleagues
that failure to oblige the officers on this bill could
lead to a military coup.
