Show aun STILL OUT THERE Wednesday, November ...FTS Paged 13, 1974 NOW OPEN in Palace Flophouse BUENOS AIRES, ARGENTINA Argentine President Isabel Peron signed a decree on Wednesday, November 6th, which placed her country under a state of siege. In the months since the death of former president Juan Peron and Mrs. Perons ascension to the presidency, Argentina has been plagued by political assassinations. During a period of 129 days, terrorists from both right and left political extremes have claimed the lives of 136 persons. Many potential victims have fled the country to avoid death threats. The state of siege proclamation prohibits public meetings, allows police officials to arrest suspects without court orders, allows the police to hold suspects without the benefit of a trial, and gives the government the right to relocate any of Argentinas 25 million inhabitants. Mrs. Peron can perpetuate the state of siege until the Argentine Congress reconvenes for its regular legislative session on May 1, 1975.

Judge Battisti ruled that government prosecutors had not established beyond a reasonable doubt" that the accused had deliberately attempted to deprive the demonstrators of their civil rights.
