Argentina
The US Embassy in Buenos Aires yesterday noted the
sense of disquiet in the Videla administration and in
the Army led by General Viola, who is still likely to
succeed Videla as president next year. The Embassy
believes Viola, a relative moderate, may yet be forced
to choose as his replacement Army Chief of Staff Suarez
Mason, now the leading proponent of the "dirty war"
against political opponents of the military junta. Re-
flecting Viola's somewhat shaky position is the light
punishment--90 days' banishment to a frontier garrison--
accorded General Menendez, who late last month attempted
to remove Viola from his post.
