Chile !al-1st
entiri
_
By James Nelson Goodsell
'
Latin America correspondent of -
-.4.a ,The Christian Science Monitor, ,
� -
Buenos Aires
Some .sort "of collusion between Chilean
securiti3Offciers and groups in Argentina is
thought to lie behind the mysterious deaths in
Argentina of 119 Chilean leftists, who were
. known to have been under arrest in Chile:
The bizarre and complex details of the case;
which could mushroom into a trans-Andean
� scandal.,:are coming to light here and in
Santiago, the Chilean capital.
_ The case' may well have been a factor in the
�decision last month of the Chilean military
government to bar the planned visit to Chile of
a United Nations human rights committee.
In the past months articles have appeared in
Chile's controlled press indicating that the 119
were killed in guerrilla skirmishes in Ar-
gentina. But there is no word in these reports
on how, the Chileans got to Argentina while
supposedly under arrest in Chile.
The information for these articles was said
to come from two sources: an Argentine
magazine, Lea, which put out its first and only
issue on July 15 and a Brazilian newspaper
that sources in Rio de Janeiro indicate does
not even exist. �
The same Chilean newspapers also reported'
-in late July that the bodies of at least two of
those on the list had turned up in BuenosAires.-
-
But when family members of the two came
to Buenos Aires to check the stories, they,
discovered that the bodies were not those of
their loved ones. Further investigations dis-
closed that the identity cards with the bodies
were not those of the missing Chileans and.
: probably were fabrications,. :.r
� .
- The 119 were, in the Main, Onetime mem-
bers of .the now outlawed extremist Mov-
. imiento de Izquierda Revolucionaria
They were arrested at various times in 1974.
Most were under 30, and at least one-fourth of
them were women.
Once arrested, the majority simply dropped
out of sight despite strenuous efforts by their
families, human rights organizations, and
others

from specific sources � the International Red
instance, from the Chilean Foreign Ministry_
The Foreign Ministry last year wrote the
British Embassy in Santiago confirming that
Christian von Yurick was being held under
"preventive arrest" and that he was in
"normal" health. But it made no mention of
Mr. von Yurick's son, Edwin, and the son's
wife, Barbara, who also were missing. All
three now appear on the lists of those killed in
Argentina. The British Embassy had inquired
'about the von Yuricks at the request -of
relatives in England.
. _
The newspaper accounts of the Argentine
deaths suggest that the Chileans in question
were killed fighting with guerrillas in north-
western Argentina. but the battle is said by
Argentine military sources never to have
taRen place:
Yet Chilean authorities continue to talk of
the guerrilla skirmish as a major one. Chilean
newspapers quote the Curitiba, Brazil, news-
paper 0 Dia, as mentioning a battle near the
Argentine city of Salta. But sources in Rio de
Janeiro say there is no newspaper 0 Dia in
Curitiba.
