Peron Moves Against Priests as Clergy Purge Spreads
In Argentina President Juan D. Peron orders a crackdown on priests accused of opposing his regime. Three priests are under arrest as the Peronista party directs members to report enemies, while education officials plan to place spiritual advisers in schools next January with Eva Peron Foundation support. The move signals a broader clash with the church, already seen in Cordoba where clerical figures resign from local governments and Cordoba University. Peron, a Catholic, had charged 24 clerics with attempting to infiltrate unions and oppose his government.
