But that argument cannot be used to justify the acceptance of the Chinese comunist régime, for the latter is not a founding member of the U.

The Minister said that in the region called Villarica, “we have had six batallions and supporting armament posted and have needed three months to reduce the problem measurably...”. Re- ferring to the Bogota revolt that began in 1948 and the subsequent organization of guerrillas and armed bands, General Paris said: “We have been fighting for sev en years to reestablish public order and ve have yet to achieve it”. He informed that troops are on public order missions in “hun- dreds of places” in the country. It is known that a delicate situa- tion exists in Tolima. He reported that in places that escape army control, crimes, as- saults, and pillage are carried out He once again accused com- munism of motivating the disor- ders and stated he was pained to see that “the country has not wanted or does not wish to be- come convinced of the danger that threatens it in such a tena- cious manner”, To make a strong impression on the minds of the Columbians, the Minister said that Colombia had one batallion fighting in Korea against the communists while the solution of the problem in the Villarica zone has barely begun after 3 months of efforts. The Minister released the fol- lowing information: in places where there are problems of pub- lic order there is abundant com- munist propaganda. People are killed everyday and other crimes are committed in places out of control of the armed for- ces. True wars between the arm- ed forces and the bandits have been waged in numerous places”, | with losses for both sides. Simultaneously with the re- port of General Paris, the mili- tary authorities released a com- munique affirming that the ban- dits of Tolima have taken 104 ru- ral families and five land own- ers as hostages, which are used as shields when attacking mili- tary positions. Whenever the hostages rebel against being used in this manner they are shot The troops operating in the Tolima area affected by the ban- dits, are about to begin the third and probably the last stage, pre- sumably total suppresion, The first stage was the evacuation of the innocent-population. The se- cond was the occupation and the employment of light persuasive measures, The communique says that the bandits have suffered unreport- ed casualties in the battles. 252 prisoners have been captured.

One hundred and sixty bandits have been tried by military tribunals in the town of Cunday, 63 of them in absentia. 115 of them have been given jail sentences ranging up to fifteen years. of containers. Only two. years ago, about 300,000 persons, or more than a third of the population of Caragis, lived under this conditions which were a constant danger to the health of the whole popula- tion. Something had to be done,! and without any further delay. Therefore, officials of the Workers’ and high officials of the Venezue- lan Government, got together to study means of putting an end to these disgraceful conditions. These meetings resulted in the most ex- tensive program of low-cost hous- ing ever seen in any of the Latin American countries, the beginning of which has been accomplished with the inauguration of more than 6,000 apartments in “Pilot Hill.” (Continued tomorrow) For Liberty, Culture and Hemispheric Solidarity NUMBER 283 De Barros, Kubitschek, Tavora Have Best Chances to Succeed in Election Tavora gaining support; De Barros nomination is imminent JANEIRO (UP)—The!cial nomination of de Barros is Presidential candidates for the Oct- expected to be announced. ober 3rd. elections and their sup-, ‘The Social Democratic party will porters are feverishly working to|hold a special convention on Fri- consolidate their positions, before| day where the vice-presidential the political campaigne which is| nomination of Joao Goulart, Presi- to begin shortly. dent of the Labor party is expect- Up until now, the voters have ed to be announced, to participate been generally indifferent to the on the same ticket with Juscelino confused picture that the eleven | Kubitschek, leader of the Social Brazilian political parties represent, | Democratic party. maneuvering, arguing and splitting), sean . into factions, to Peat these elec-|, The Christian Democratic party, tions considered crucial by all ob-|im its annual convention, ratified seevirs the candidacy of General Juarez Last month’s election of the Sao T2vora who is also supported by Paulo Mayor, in which less than the Socialist party. one half of the registered voters}!

I know, for I've just been there, reveling in the beauty of this fragile, pastel blossom.

LAVISH COLOR God has been generous with co- lor along the Florida route — and poinciana trees are a never failing source of beauty, when travelers ride along, as are the purple flox that edge the highway — as if He, with purple paintbrush, had spread color with a lavish hand. No peach blossoms or peaches (cold killed them some months back) meet the eye, but a few sprigs of orange blossom and goléen yellow oran- ges are in sight along the route — especially through the central part of the state of Florida. More The campus of Washington and Lee University in Lexington, Vir- ginia, is hallowed ground, as is Lee chapel and other historic spots where our forefathers, George Was: ington, the Father of this Coun- try, and General Robert E. Lee, whose name Virginians rank se- cond only to God, lived, and shap- ed the destinies of this country. A trip to Lexington isn't complete without a visit to see the remains of Lee’s famed horse, “Traveler”, whose bones are on view in the Lee chapel museum, or a visit to Stonewall Jackson's and Lee’s gra- ves. Such a pilgramage brings the past into present, and makes us appreciate anew the American heritage we strive continually to perpetuate, and spread.
