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 armed 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 recent weeks, the police and the military
services have carried out large-scale operations in
Tucuman Province, long a terrorist stronghold.
They have also conducted 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
