power, with a whopping majority
—as a result of a combination of
most diverse and even divergent
forces, principal among them the
pro-Peronist working masses.
As the AramWuru regime had
reinstated the fullest freedom of
speech and press—a freedom
which many Argentines, among
them a good number of news-
papermen had forgotten how to
use—the electoral contest was a
most lively propagandists display.
It should be stressed that no un-
due anti-Semitism 'showed up in
this phase of the country’s demo-
cratization—that is no more than
usual. An interesting feature of
local Jewish life was the appear-
ance last year of the Spanish-
language Jewish daily “Amane-
cer” (Dawn) which was very well
received and seemed to satisfy a
genuine need for those Jews,
especially the younger general
tion, who do not speak Yiddish.
However, weak financing forced
Amanecer to stop appearing by
the end of April and it is only to
be hoped that efforts now under
way to reopen it again will meet
with success.
The visit of an Israeli ten-man
parliamentary delegation to Ar-
gentina was one of the outstand-
ing events of the year, not only
for local Jewry, but also for the

established. The deputies divided
up into several groups to visit
various provincial centers and
took home a rather complete pic-
ture of this young and energetic
Jewish settlement, whose love of
Zion is one of its most character-
istic traits. The mission included
representatives of every Israeli
political party, with the exception
of the Communists, and this added
to the interest it awakened here.
The visit of the Israeli Trade
and Industry Minister, Pinhas
Sapir, produced friendly echoes
in government circles and a trade
agreement between both coun-
tries was initialled, and later sign-
ed.
Another visit of great, though
different, import was that off
Prof. Ernst David Bergmann,
scientific right hand of Premier
Ben Gurion and head of Israel’s
Atomic Energy Commission. He
was able to establish contacts with
his counterparts here and to ex-
change useful information on the
work “atomically small” countries
can profitably carry on. His lec-
tures at the local university were
followed with genuine interest
and his contacts with Jewish uni-
versity students—Dr. Bergmann is
chairman of the international
Jewish students union—will cer-
tainly bear fruit.
During July, Buenos Aires be-
came a continental center for Lat-
in-American Jewry. Several in-
ternational Jewish and Zionist}
conferences considered problems
of particular interest to Spanish
and Portuguese speaking Jewry.
Among these conferences, the
most important was the third Lat-
in American convention of the
World Jewish Congress, to which
150 delegates from 11 South A-
merican countries came.
Other conferences during the
month wiere held by the Ichud
Olami of the Labor Party, and
by the Progressive branch of the
General Zionists. Buenos Aires
Jewry must become more adware
of its role as a metropolis for the
smaller Jewish settlements on the
continent and now take a more
active participation in their fate.
A pleasant visit which left fond
memories was the one paid by
Joint vice presidents Moses Leav-
itt, who surveyed the situation on
the continent and contacted many
official and private circles here
during his mission. Recently, Dr.
Carlos Israels, head of United
Hias Service contacted the Frion-
dizi administration with regard
to immigration possibilities and
his conclusions were given at a
cautiously hopeful press confer-
ence. Dr. Frondizi, in a private
a,udience, confirmed his earlier
statements regarding immigration
a*nd it can be accepted that the
doors of the country will open
for a certain number of Hungar-
ian and Egyptian Jewish refu-
gees—after many years when im-
migration was practicaily barred
to Jews.
Some recrudescence of anti-
Semitism has been obsei-ved late-
ly, but in isolated instances. None-
theless, “Help The Fatherland—
kill a Jew” posters appeared in
some suburbs. This, however,
should not be taken as expression
of a genuine aggravation of the
situation. This writer would a-
the “sudden” recovery of free-
dom of speech and print has
loosened some hitherto—but not
forgotten—instincts.
The municipal council of San
Martin, where such posters were
affixed, held an official session
expressing its complete disavowal
of such “un-Argentine” excesses.
The central representative body
of Argentine Jewry, Delegacion
de Aspicaciones Israelitas Argen-
tinas—in DAIA—alerted the In-
terior Ministry to all signs of
anti-Semitism, and to its connec-
tions with imported Nazi and Arab
propaganda agents and materials.
DAIA also made representa-
tions to the Foreign Minister Dr.
Cai'los Florit, who is also head lof
the Religio Ministry, about the
unconstitutionality of an old regu-
lation providing for pK>lieei control
of the activities of all non-Catho-
lic religious groups.
The tenth anniversary of Is-
rael’s statehood was celebrated
here with enormous enthusiasm
and the general press joined in
editorials and columns, pictures J
and cables, in emphasizing the
uniqueness of the evejnt. Ex->
hibitions of Israeli postal stamps,
a broadcast, a Bible contest, a
gala concert led by the great
Ai'gentine conductor Juan Jose
Castro, whb presented modern
Israeli njusic, and many other
events gave brilliance to the cele-
brations which impressed Jews
and non-Jews alike with the great
achievements of the young state.
As it happened, Isi'ael’s anni-
versary coincided with Dr. Fron-
dizi’s taking over the Presidency,
and the pomp and display of of-
ficial affairs centered attention
on this more American issue. In
the Presidential change-over Is-
rael was represented by its In-
terior Ministei', Israel Baryehuda,
who also inaugurated the 1958
United Jewish Appeal.
Some Jewish circles feel that
Jews are too well represented in
the new Fnondizi administration. ^
Though others hold that Jews
may, in their capacity of Ai'gen-
tine citizens, choose their politi-
cal activity at will many Jews
fear that this is “des Guten z!u V
viel,” and that any bad turn may
harm Jewry in general.
Be that as it may, the fact is
that the Under Secretary of the
Interior Ministry, Dr. David Ble- M
jer; the ^president of the Central
Bank, Jose Mazar Barnett; the
executive secretary of the presi-
dency, Samuel Schmullker, ar'ei
Jews. Flour members of parlia- ^
ment representing the Radical
Intransigent (Party: are Jews.
Several advisers and secretaries
of the President, the Vice Presi-
dents, Justice Minister, etc., are
also Jews.

Dr. Frondizi base repeatedly 4-
expressed his government’s good
intentions towards Israel and ^
local Jewry and it may be hoped
that the new political constella-G*' "
tion in this country will make a
step towards progress in all fields.
