Federal Police and Army intelligence have recommended to the Casa Rosada that
stronger measures should be imposed to curb Coe-monist infiltration in labor

grants, the government prohibited its, representatives in "iron curtain" countries
to issue immigration visas without prior clearance from Buenos Aires. Clearance
of these applicants will be given only after a careful screening by Osinde's
office and the Army assistants of Colonel Enrique P. Gonzalez, head of the
Immigration Departent.

lists. Four hundred or more White Russians now living in Manila and "hanghai,
who were sponsored by the IRO and had been accepted by the Argentine government
as prospective immigrants, have been held up due to Osinde's lack of confidence
in MO screening methods.
