President Irigoyen in q statement
Two girls, both suspected anar-
chists, were taken into custody for
q time by the Argentine authorities
today in connection with their in.
vestigation into the recently dis
covered bomb plot which is believed
here to have been directed against
| President-elect Hoover.
on the plot said police in searching
a house in Estomba street found four
hand grenades, two cylindrical
bombs, one square bomb, dynamite,
revolvers, automatic pistols, guam
titles of ammunition and $50 ten
peso notes.
The police announced that q room
in the raided house contained . de-
tailed map of the railway system.
Police believe the plotters intended
to place the bombs on the tracks on
the outskirts of the city just before
the arrival of the Hoover special
train.
Student Made Bombs
Police in raiding the house ar
rested youth who said he was
Carlos Gutierrez, 1S. The authorities
said however, that the real name
of the youth was Alexandra Romano
and that he was 81 but posed 10
younger in hope of obtaining leni-
ency under the minors law. They
| described him as q student of chem
istry and they believed he manufac-
tured the bombs.
Later q second man was arrested
near the house. He gave the name
Of Jaime Oliver, but police said he
was Jaime Castro, q chauffeur.
President Irigoyen said: "The
president of the republic, being de-
sirous of making agreeable the visit
Of the president-elect Of the United
States of America and Of offering
the greatest possible guarantee of
safety to the personnel of the il
lustrious visitor, commanded the po-
lice to intensity their observations
Of dangerous elements"
The president added that this or
der had been carried out by the di-
vision of investigations which dis
covered the house which was raided.
Picking Up Suspects
Although only two men were Of.
ficially announced to have been ar.
rested it was generally known today
that the police had been active for :
week in picking up suspects. These
suspects will be confined until after
the departure of Mr.. Hoover. The
authorities not only are determined
to prevent any plots against Mr..
Hoover but also are determined to
prevent any public demonstrations
against the United States.
Since the bombing Of the National
City bank on Christmas eve last
year, when two persons were killed
and 20 injured, police vigilance in
guarding the United States embassy
and consulate, the American club and
buildings housing American firms
has not been relaxed. A bomb was
discovered last month on the steps
Of the Buenos Aires cathedral which
is across the street from the Ma
tional City bank. As it was being
taken to the police station it ex-
ploded and a pedestrian was killed.
This was believed to be q part Of
= general program of agitation
against American interests in Ar.
gentina.
