"Grave Completely"
After reviewing the new evidence

and other investigations, the Blue
Book concluded that the United

President Farrell and Col. Peron
were implicated by captured Ger
man reports in dealings with Ger

assured the German agents after
the Farrell-Peron regime came into
power, following a severance of
diplomatic relations with Germany
by the preceding Ramirez regime,
that the breach twas to have little
significance"
Col. Peron was named as "a prin-
cipal Header of the conspirators" in
a common plan" with German
agents in 1943 to undermine the
governments of Bolivia, Brazil,
Chile, Paraguay and Uruguay, and

The Blue Book quoted a German
foreign Office official as saying Col.
Juan Filomeno velazco, head Of the
Argentine police, frequently was
mentioned favorably In reports of
German agents for his "indulgent
attitude" toward those attracting
police attention.
