United States Accuses
Argentina of Conspiracy
By Ralph Heinzen
Washington, Feb. 13 U.R) The United States Tuesday accused
Argentina of wartime collaboration, espionage, hemisphere in
trigue and aid to nazi Germany. The state department delivered
to all other American republics 7-
except Argentina a "Blue Book,
based on documents captured in
Germany.
Citing a 500 per cent increase
In Argentine military credits in
the past four years, the "Blue
Book" accuses Argentine totali
tarian groups of combining with
nazi leaders and organizations
to create a nazi-fascist state.
Argentina was accused of a
conspiracy to obtain arms from
Germany, of attempting to un
dermine the inter-American sys
tem and of making mockery of
Its pledge to the United Nations
to "reaffirm faith in human
rights and in the dignity and
worth of the human person."
Much Other Proof
The United States said the in
dictment contains only a small
proportion of the proof of Ar-
Slate's Pride
Only in Danger
Berkeley, Calif., Feb. 13 W)-
An eruption of Crater lake
wouldn't damage anything but
Oregon's pride and the tourist
trade.
That's the indication from a
report by Dr. Howel Williams,
famed volcanologist who is
probably the world's greatest
authority on the Crater lake
region.
The University of California
geology professor said that if
Mount Mazama the extinct
volcano in whose crater the lake
now lies erupts again, the ex
plosion would not be violent.
But "an eruption today would
kill a lot of fish, and would ruin
the beautiful blue color of the
lake," Williams added.
, Williams, who studied the
crater over a five-year period,
said that once a volcano col
lapses there is little chance of
violent activity. An eruption
'considered possible by geolo
gists since the lake began "burp
ing" huge smoke clouds
"wouldn't kill people," Williams
said.
"Furthermore, I doubt if there
Is even enough activity in the
volcano to produce a cone high
enough to rise above the level
of the lake, which is 2000 feet
deep." ,

gentina's pro-German activity
in its hands. This country In
vited the other American re
publics to state their views on
the charges.
It was charged that high Ar
gentine officials were so seri
ously compromised in their re
lations with the enemy that
trust and confidence "could not
be reposed in that government."
That statement was interpreted
as a bid for joint action to break
off diplomatic relations with the
present military regime in
Buenos Aires. I
The American publication
specifically named Col. Juan D.
Peron. head of a military junta
that took over the Argentine
government, as "a principal
leader" of the Argentine con
spirators. Peron is accused of
spurring the Brazilian integral
ists and of making similar ef
forts with domestic pro-axis
forces in Paraguay and Uru
guay.
The "Blue Book" said ar
enormous volume of documents
found hidden and scattered
throughout Germany have been
catalogued, studied and verified.
On basis of these, the U. S.
government made its five major
accusations:
Indictments Listed
1. Members of the (Argen
tine) military government col
laboratcd with enemy agents for
important espionage and other
purposes damaging to the war
effort of the United Nations.
2. Nazi leaders, groups and
organizations have combined
with the Argentine totalitarian
groups to create a nazi-fascist
state in Argentina.
3. Members of the military
regime who have controlled the
government since June, 1943,
conspired with the enemy to
undermine governments in
neighboring countries, to de
stroy their collaboration with
the allies and to align them in
a pro-axis bloc.
4. Successive Argentine gov
ernments protected the enemy
in economic matters in order
to preserve axis industrial and
commercial power in Argentina.
5. Successive Argentine gov
ernments conspired with the
enemy to obtain arms from Germany.
In the case of Bolivia, the
U. S. offered reports from Ger
man archives to support an ac
cusation that Peron and other
Argentine military leaders
promised Bolivia lower tariff
barriers and the construction of
a new railroad between Argen
tina and Bolivia if the latter
abandoned the good neighbor
bloc in favor of the axis.
