1. Tugosla:v Cceaunf ets in Rosario are particularly active in the port area and
have cautiously laid plans for continued activities in case of possible police
intervention. Them new plans were motivated by the Jakasa-Cunja incident in
Chile, when it appeared that the Argentine goverrmasnt might follow the Chilean
lead in ezpellin Cormunista.
2. One of the ..weans used in coverira Yugoslav Communist activities in Rosario is
to have their activities shielded by the local Czechs who have good contacts
with the Rosario police. Consequently, recent meetings of Tugoslav Coss a

was attended by Franjo Koren and Janko Obranovic, Yugoslav delegates from
Buenos Aires. The main topic of discussion in the meeting was the leading
role of Yugoslav Communists in the local Slav movement. Koren gave a long re-
port dealing with the Ccminform and its ramifications in South America and the
stance of tugoslavia In European politics. Koren's thesis,, that "Tito?
and not Dimitrov, is organizing the Balkan Federation and is the foremost
Communist outside of Russia," considerably approved the Bulgarian Communists
in Rosario as they feel that they have been alighted and that the Yugoslavs
have assumed to much Importance.
$. In spite of tho unity which is supposed to exist between all the groups of
the local Slav movement, there Is considerable dissension and jealousy. The
Bulgarians are considered as stooges and spies by the Yugoslavs, and the
Bulgarianaare jealous of tho prominent role played in Slav activities by the
Yugoslavs,

tion in the Slav movement. Maria Sucelj, a young Yugoslav Communist female of`
Rosario, stated that at last the Bulgarians will be forced to stop considering
themselves as the leading group of the Slav movement.
