ARGENTINA: Rightist Abuses
Leading Argentines are becoming increasingly outspoken
in condemning right-wing abuses of the government's anti-terror-
ist campaign.

The US embassy reports that it is hearing criticism
from a wide range of political figures, churchmen, journalists,
and even civil servants. Many were content to see the military
come to power in March but are now distressed at right-wing vio-
lence. They are alarmed that the government still has not ac-
counted for a large number of prisoners, and the recent upsurge
in indiscriminate killings has convinced many that they have
more to fear from the right than from leftist guerrillas.
Despite expressions of concern in many circles, there
is no organized campaign being mounted against the government,
and expressions of criticism have been cautious.
The leader of the country's second largest political
party recently signed a declaration that condemned the disap-
pearance of two leading members of the party but only indirectly
indicated the party's belief that the security forces were re-
sponsible.
Both have since been released, according to a communi-
que. The church is said to be convinced that security officials
were responsible for the recent deaths of five priests alleged to
be leftists and is less inclined to be conciliatory toward the
junta than before the papal nuncio strongly protested the kill-
ings.
President Videla may be trying to curtail abuses. Ru-
mored military reassignments, for example, would shift two so-
called "hard-liners" out of their troop command positions. More-
over, a presidential spokesman last week assured the US embassy
that the perpetrators of the murier of 30 alleged leftists the
weekend before would be punished.
