Union

Buenos Aires, April "a (ALN)-
Backed by the Buenos Aires po-
lice fOrce-among the most anti
labor bodies i'm the hemisphere
Ose Domenech, recently defeated
for reelection as general secretary
OF the Confederation General del
Trabajo (CGT), refused this week
to hand over CGT property to the
new officers.
When Francisco Perez Leiros,
the new secretary. and other
members of the Administrative
Committee arrived to take posses
sion, they found the building SUR
rounded by a police Gordon. Legal
action Is now under way to force
Domenech to abide by the results
of the election.
The new CGT Administrative
Committee unites spokesman for
all anti-Castillista groups. Marcos
Lestelle Is secretary OF the local
Olavarria organization Of the
Union Civica Radical, which, with
the Socialists, controls the Cham
Der OF Deputies. Perez LeirOs Is
Socialist deputy.
Although Domenech and Perez
differ most strikingly on foreign
policy, they are opposed in other
matters. Domenech Is accused of
opposing close ties with the Con-
federation of Latin American
Workers (CTAL), of deliberately
keeping the CGT weak by post
poning Central Committee meet
ings for as long as 20 months. Of
refusing to follow the instructions
Of the last CGT Congress to par
ticipate in national unity against
Castillo and of failing TO protest
Castillo's frequent interferences
with trade union rights.
