EDITORIAL PATRIOTIC ZEAL, FUNDAMENTAL FACTOR Eliseo Riera-Gomez Advertising and Circulation Mgr. Fla, om February & 1956. IN THE GREATNESS OF THE UNITED STATES The high concept of civic life that the people ~ of the United States have, is, no doubt, the determin- ing factor of the political stability, within a strict democracy, enjoyed by this nation. And since to this political stability is due, basically, the progress of the country, one must give credit to the civic culture of the people, which is the origin of orderly political life here, as the main factor of greatness of the United States. When the people make a cult of patriotic zeal, the functioning of the political system is very easy and efficient. The Republic of the United States nourishes, grows, triumphs, because of the effective freedom, guided by healthy democratic principles. For that reason, in less than two centuries since its | foundation, it is already the most powerful country on earth, the one with the greatest gravitation in the) international life. When integration of on the basis of violence; when the democratic ideals) are absent from all Government programs; in other | words, when there is lack well understood progress public power is achieved of patriotic zeal, then the is interrupted, a progress which must be defined as a balanced aggregate of moral and material wellbeing. The example of the patriotic zeal of the United States people, which represents so many benefits for this great country, should be known and followed by the whole world, specially in the Americas, so that all the nations of this continent may grow and gain prestige as the United States has done. With such well developed America, the world’s activities would rotate around her for centuries and the people inhabiting this flourishing continent would enjoy, in full, all the benefits of freedom and of moral and material aggrandizement. Civic education should be the cornerstone of our pliblics. With this education as watch word, the R folitical process would develop always within the discipline of an order suitable to human dignity and every country would widen the horizon of its wellbe- ing and its constant progress.

(UP) — By 24 votes against 21, the Legislative Assembly authoriz- ed President José Figueres to leave the country for a period up to 75 days, The Legislative Assambly gave the authorization to the Chief Exe- cutive after revision was asked of an accord approved yesterady, by by which President Figueres was denied the permission~he had re- quested to leave the country. The Chief Executive will put in charge Vice President Blanco Cer- vantes today, and will leave the country on Monday. Those voting against the Pres- ident’s plan yesterday said that trips of Chief Executives abroad are justified only by urgent reasons and never by reasons of secondary order, adding that the economic situation of the coun- try does not permit such trips. Others declared that the people do not want any more trips of officials abroad, and some said the government is desintegrated, with- out Minister of Foreign Relations, and resignation of Minister of Ec- onomy Jorge Rossi being consid- ered, For ‘Against Outr NEW YORK, Sept. 8—-(UP) — The Interamerican Press Associa- tion (IAPA) has issued the follow- ing press communiqué: “Eduardo Santos has said he will never renounce the basic rights sytematically violated by the dic- tatorship of Colombia.” “The ‘Colombian ex President and owner of ‘El Tiempo’ gave this warning in a cablegram ad- WIN PENDLETON BIGGEST SHOW ON EARTH — No wonder Ringling Brothers call- ed it quits and went out of busi- ness. A bigger show has come along. More people watched the recent political shows (pardon us, conven- tions) in Chicago and San Francis- co than witnessed all performances of the famous Ringling Brothers circus during its entire life span. We got no surprises, but the shows were generally good. The California act was not as exciting as the Chicago opener. In fact,| there were times when it was rath- er dull. Only twice in the Republican drama were we excited enough to lay down our magazine and con- centrate on the T-V screen. The |first was the arrival of the Presi- |dent at the airport and his trip in| the glass topped car to the hotel. The second moment came when we were stirred from our drousi- ness by a voice trying to nominate our old friend, “Joe Smith.” We awoke suddenly and put hot water on for a cup of instant coffee. We would sit up all night-to hear this, But, almost before the convention could “open up” it had been closed again by the voice of Joe Martin saying, “Nominations for Vice-Pre- sident are closed.” Eisenhower and Nixon — no surprise. As we wrote several months ago, the Republic- ans should have stayed in Washing- ton — and saved a million hucks. It was almost the same in Chica- go — although we must say the Democrats put on a more exciting show. The crowds were more like a,circus. When “Mr. Sam” as they kept calling him, banged his gavel for order, no one paid any atten-| tion. This was wonderful. (By the way, nobody in Washington calls Sam Rayburn “Mr. Sam.” When they speak to him to his face they call him “Mr. Speaker” and when some of them mention him behind his back, they call him things that are unprintable. But the one thing we never have heard him called is “Mr. Sam.”) Out of that one we got Steven- son and Kefauver. In Florida, where Kefauver was whipped, and in Georgia, where they don’t like him anyway — this was somewhat of a disappointment. But, many think this combination can whip the Eisenhower-Nixon ticket. The race certainly will be a better one than last time. And less than 10 per cent | of the total vote—properly placed, | could change the outcome over 19-, 52. Floridians wanted Governor Col- lins on the ticket — and they tried, with Congressman Bob Sikes re- peatedly voting his “Sunshine” votes for the popular governor. Georgians were happy when Gov- ernor Griffin nominated Congress- man Davis — and they enjoyed being loyal to a native son. Now that the race is under way — it is anybody’s guess, Don’t be too sure that Eisenhower will be a shoo-in, The odds certainly seem to be in his favor today. But, there are more Democrats in this coun- try than Republicans — a lot of |them voted for Eisenhower _be- cause they hated Truman. Besides — a bad cold or any sort of minor illness in the White House could scare a lot of people. These two factors could swing a lot of votes. Also, in Stevenson and Kefauver, the Democrats have men who know how to campaign and get votes. Yes, the old circus is out of busi- ness. The new one is coming along. We saw the openimg “side shows” in Chicago and San Francisco — but the main attraction is now go- ing on in the big tent — admis- sion free, Besides, if you have a touch of “circus blood” in your a better understanding between the Americas Miami Springs, Fla., Sunday, September 9, 1956 ages of the Colombian Dictatorship dressed from Venice to the Board of Directors of ‘Intermedio’, suc- cessor of ‘El Tiempo’. “His cablegram, according to reports received by the Interame- rican Press Association, could not be delivered in Bogota because the censors prevented it.

The solution, which is transac- tional, comprises a reduction of five cents per gallon on the im- port duties of gasoline and the nomination of a Commission to study other measures for improve- ment of working conditions. A clause stipulates the release of all the strikers arrested for reasons of the stoppage, pus oe uded per- sons arrested for other law viola- tions, The Workers Union demanded a reduction of 13 cents on the gas import duties, which were of 16 1-2 cents per gallon. Meanwhile the Printers Union, that yesterday afternoon abandon- ed work for 24 hours, as a token of solidarity with the drivers, cancell- ed the measure at midnight. Due to this stoppage, the three morning dailies were published today in re- duced editions. The five evening papers will come out normally.

Outline of Our Lady of Guadalupe Attracts Thousands in California EAST LOS ANGELES, Calif., Sept. 8 —(UP)—Hundreds of per- sons gathered today to view an out- line, alleged to be that of the Vir- gin Mary, which appeared on the paper backing of a painting of Our Lady of Guadalupe. Many who stood outside the | home of Luis Acosta during the night carried candles and’ money offerings. They were waiting to see the outline, which Acosta said mys- teriously appeared on the tissue paper backing after he removed the painting from its frame. “T can’t explain it and just don’t know what to do,” Acosta said. “People have been coming day and night.” Acosta, a 36-year-old mechanic, said he was bringing the painting from the home of his deceased mother last Monday night when the glass in the frame shattered. He claimed he took the painting from its frame and carefully put in in a “When I returned 15 minutes lat- er, I saw what I thought was the same picture back in the frame,” Acosta said. “It scared my wife,” Acosta at first told only a few friends of the incident but by yes- terday the news had spread and hundreds. of persons began to gath er at his house. Sheriff’s deputies, called to handle the crowds yester- day, estimated that some 2,000 per- sons had converged at the home. Some observers claimed the painting appeared to have become watersoaked and theorized the new image may have resulted from the weting. Acosta maintained that it did not appear to be the same | picture. The Rev. Joseph Llobet, pastor of the Church of our Lady of Sole- dad, would make no statement aft- er examining the image.

The protest said in part: “The hasty election of new justices frus- trates the movement begun among Salvadoran lawyers to secure the appointment of professionals who would guarantee a sane adminis. tration of justice by their capabili- ties, probity and experience.” The protest added that the new- ly -elected justices were not among the candidates suggested by the twe orga which repre- ‘OAS to Study Offer Made by Pérez Jiménez WASHINGTON, Sept. 8—(UP)— The Pan American Union announc- ed today that the offer of the Ve- nezuelan Government to contri- bute up to 100 million Bolivars for the creation of an Interamerican Economic Fund will be presented Monday to the Council of the Or- ganization of American State.

With this magazine, the publica- tions confiscated by the govern- ment in the last three weeks are now three. On August 24 the edi- tions of the dailies “Tribuna Da Imprensa” aud “Estado de’Sao Pau- lo” were confiscated for repro- ducing, in their first page, a Mani- fest issued by journalist and fed- eral Deputy Carlos Lacerda, a vol- untary exile, attacking the govern- ment. It was confirmed by the police that “Maquis” was confiscated by direct orders of General Augusto Magessi, Chief of the Rio de Janei- ro Police. The magazine was confiscated about midnight Thursday- Friday, when it was being loaded at the priating shop to be taken to its Director, Amarel Neto, residence. The police also arrested nine persons connected with the maga- zine, but all of them were released Friday morning. Amaral Neto said that the police did not give any official explana- tion for the confiscation; but “O Glob6” informs today that Magessi said that he’ acted on the basis of the same legal authority that per- mitted him to confiscate “Tribuna Da Imprensa,” at the end of Aug- ust. “{ did this, using the same re- gulations under which I ordered | the confiscation of an evening pa- per, a few days ago — said Magessi according to the daily. I already prepared the necessary proceedings to inform superior authorities, which is all I had to do.” It is unknown if President Kubit- schek approved the confiscation be- fore it took place. The action against “Tribuna Da Imprensa” was taken without previous know- ledge of the President. Monday at noon.

The Brazilian Press Association protested for the government ac- tion against “Maquis,” stating that it was taken on Independence Day and when the Government is work- ing for approval of a more strict Press Law. PRESS FREEDOM CURB UP TO KUBITSCHEK Meanwhile, the decision whether to curb freedom of the press in Brazil was said to rest squarely with President Juscelino Kubit- schek. A draft of the administration’s proposed bill tightening up press regulations was presented to Ku- bitschek at a secret meeting attend- ed by Vice President Joao Goulart, Justice Minister Nereu Ramos and administration congressional lead- ers. Emerging from the meeting the participants said the decision was left with Kubitschek either to sub- mit the bill to congress or to dis- card it. Qualified political sources re- ported meanwhile that the bill would impose several strict press curbs including empowering the executive to levy certain economic penalities on offending newspapers. These powers were said to give the government financial supervi- sion over the press. similar to, re- gulations existing in Venezuela. The bill would also alter the pre- sent favorable import regulations on newsprint, ink and other press supplies. Organized opposition to the pro- posals was mounting in the wake of all-out editorial attacks in most of Rio’s newspapers. The minority Social Progressive Party announced its disapproval of “any project-introduced under any pretext which would limit feedom of the press.” The Rio de Janeiro unit of the National Student Union likewise issued a protest against the proposed bill. Other groups, in- cluding ‘lawyers, businessmen and workers, also announced their op- position.
