ANTI-JEWISH MOBS
POLICE REMAIN PASSIVE IN BUENOS AIRES Recd. 8 p.m. New York, Nov. 25. Considerable anti-Semitic outbreaks occurred in Buenos Aires following a meeting of 30,000 of President Peron’s supporters, who invaded the Jewish quarter of the city and broke shop signs and insulted everyone in sight and brutally beat anyone attempting to protest or defend himself, says the “New York Times” correspondent. Some shots were fired, but there were no casualties.
The police, who were present in great force, stood by passively and intervened only to arrest the victims instead of the attackers. The police showed a different attitude after a meeting of the Progressive Democratic Party. At the first shout of “Long live democracy’” mounted police charged, tear gas bombs were thrown and other forcible methods used to clear the streets.
