ARGENTINA,
Terrorist groups in Argentina m#y be planning fur-
ther abductions of US citizens, following the killing
yesterday of the US honorary consul they kidnaped on
Wednesday.
A press dispatch
on Thursday reported that leaflets distributed by the
consul's kidnapers stated that their victim was "the
first on a long list of servants of 'imperialism in Ar-
gentina" who will have to "render aeCounts."
The government may have been able to produce one of
the four prisoners the- guerrillas had demanded to be
shown. TWo others reportedly were .dead, and the third
had undergone such harsh treatment during interrogation
that authorities did not want to admit holding him.
Shortly after the deadline set by the guerrillas
last evening, Foreign Minister Vignes,announced that the
government would not deal with extremist groups. The
official :statement came after Vignet and Interior Minis-
ter Rocamore met with President Peron to discuss the
governmerit's position.
The consul's murder will be an acute embarrassment
to Mrs. Peron's government, which recently has been try-
ing to play down the terrorist problem, particularly in
discussions with potential foreign 'investors.
'
Yesterday, the terrorists alsottruck in and around
the capital. The chief justice of the; Buenos Aires pro-
vincial supreme court was kidnaped apd, in two separate
incidents, three policemen were machine-gunned to death,
one terrorist killed, and woilnded,in a shootout.
