General Araya continues in his post as army commander, Wehn Araya assumed his post, | he promised to arrest all those involved ‘in illicit activities of a political nature within the army, a practice expressly forbidden by the constitution. With the exception of 2 cases, in 1925 and 1931, the Chilean army has never intervened in political matters. A short while ago members of the opposition party accused President Ibanez of supporting a group of officers called the “linea recta”, They went on to say that last February the Pres- ident held a meeting with vari- ous officers in his private home to discuss matters other than military. Rumors of widespread minis- terial changes were officially de- nied by the government. The latest officers to be ar- rested are Major Miguel Cavie- das Slanilo and Lt. Col. Fernan- do Zuniga. Both were stationed in Santiago. Members of the opposition ac- cused Major Caviedes as one of the principals involved in the plot of the illegal “linea recta” group, which supports Ibanez and that would curtail the pow ers of Congress in order to es- tablish a stronger government, The Provost has decided to arraign Colonel Silva Matura- na. The court martial will begin today according to the military code, This is the first official indica- tion that the Provost office has sufficient evidence to begin a court martial. The charges against Colonel Maturana were not made known. Brigadier General Ramon Sa- linas, former directors of the military school and Colonel Gas- ton Canas Ruiz Tagle, present director of the school are both also under arrest, Accordign to the latest report received from Santiago the court has temporarily freed Colonel Raul Silva Maturana under a writ of habeas corpus, The court was of the opinion that there was no reason to keep him incomunicado and un- der arrest. PERUVIAN STUDENTS EXILED TO CHILE ARICA, Chile (UP)— Peruvian students Mario Olivare Cabeza and Angel Vargas Vela who were oust- ed from their country and from Argentina charged with being com- munists, arrived here in exile. The government of Chile, under pressure by several political and in- tellectual organizations, allowed them to enter the country. The two students were members of a group of thirteen students who were expelled from Argentina because of the communist activi- ties. The remaining eleven, accord- ing to the Peruvian government, are not guilty of any crime, business. Most of them have great hopes for the future of the coun- try. If you mention to them the “Castor oil, treatments” we hear so much about, they laugh at you, and point out to you the amnesty law, by which even some of those considered “real dangerous” have been released from jail. “May be there was some of that in the past” although personally I never heard of any specitic case”, said one seasoned journalist, “but to say that we have that now is plain nonsense”, he added.

Munoz Marin talked together | with Eddie Rickenbaker, President of the Eastern Airlines and Salva- dor V. Caro, Director General of | transportation in the Island, be- fore 10.000 people at the inaugura- tion of the new international air- port which was built at a cost of 15 million dollars. The Governor declared that the new airport has turned Puerto Ri- co into the crossroads of the Ame- ricas in uniting more closely and strongly the nations of this hemi- sphere. “The are —he added — other international airports in the worlc. but there is not other more truly international than this one.” “There are still a great many psychological walls to overthrow. It is our desire and conviction in Puerto Rico that we can contribute to increasing mutual understand- ing between North and South America. I think it well to under- line here something which has been mentioned before: that one of the services which Puerto Rico can lend to good will is insisting that the word “American” be used and exclusive meaning which in South America is used to desigante thinys from the United States. The American ia a man of America and America is the whole western hemisphere.” Later he asked all the citizens of the U.S, to come to Puerto Rico in order to understand Latin America and “our brothers of Latin Ameri- ca, to whom we are united by his- toric and cultural ties, to come to Puerto Rico to understand the dy- namism of U.S. civilization.” “To me —he added— this is one of the greatly significant objec- tives of the international airport — reinforce the air route that brngs both, continents closer to- gether.” After his speech Munoz Marin cut the symbolic ribbon that re- leased five balloons each of which carried the flags of Puerto Rico and the United States.
