Argentina
The Argentine Government said yesterday
that President Videla will leave the governing
junta by 1 August, but will remain as chief ex-
ecutive for a term ending in March 1981.
Videla, who also is Commander in Chief of the
Army, will retire from active military duty when
the change occurs.
It is not clear just how much power the
presidency will have once it is separated from
the Junta. The Navy has sought for some time
to derail Videla's plan to strengthen the office.
3 5(c)_
Yesterday's announcement may Indicate that
Videla and the Army have prevailed.
