He declared that Venezuela has no international problems to solve, but, any way, collaborates with all international organizations and in the multilateral accords with a spirit of impartiality. He pointed out that Venezuela supported the Italian request for admission to the United Nations. Italy was admitted to the interna- tional organization only last Dec- ember, after having been block- jed for years by the Russian veto. The minister stated that the Ve- nezuelan delegates condemned on several occasions the exclusion of Italy from the United Nations, con- sidering it “the clearest example of the absurdity in depriving the member nations of the presence and collaboration of a country which has illuminated humanity through the centuries with the splendor of her civilization and the light of her thought.” The Venezuelan Minister con- cluded advocating for a closer col- laboration between the two na- tions “which have so many com- mon interests,” The Minister reminded the au-| For a better understonding between. the Americas MIAMI SPRINGS, FLA., THURSDAY, OCTOBER 25, 1956 Says Jules Dubois, Taking advantage of the court- of IAPA Press Freedom Commis- sion, to THE AMERICAS DAILY, we obtained a short interview, which we are offering today to | “The General | Interamerican Press Association an atmosphere of complete free- dom, because in Cuba, at present, there is press freedom,” said journalist Dubois, answering our questions and then he added: “Dr. KNOW THY NEIGHBOR By ANTONIO RUIZ entering on the) Colombian border, the traveler | oes, via Pan American Highway, jonto the “roof” of the country, in /a dramatic and thrilling journey, |including the cloud-swept “altipla- no,” or high plateau, down through the incomparable “Avenue of Vol- canoes,” to Loja.

From Rumi- chaca the road begins its tortuous climb through the jungles to Tul- can, the capital of Carchi Province. At 9,000 feet above sea level, Tul- can is one of the highest Ecuador- ean towns, center of a rich farm- ing area, and famous for its ex- cellent dairy products.

The Interior Department, in an- nouncing the planned dedication of the park, noted that St. John, lying 50 miles east of Puerto Rico, enjoys a “near-perfect climate.” The Department reported that the concept of a national park on St. John dates back to a park service survey in the 1930’s, which was shelved during the war. No- thing was done until Laurance S. Rockefeller learned of the sus- pended project and began acquir- ing land for eventual transfer to the Federal Government. More than $1,000,000 has been spent on the land acquisition pro- gram, the Department said. It said that Cruz Bay has been designated as one of the principal points of entrance to the new park and it is there that the de- i} | | RODOLFO ABAUNZA Nicaragua Frees Two Journalists MANAGUA, Oct. 24 —(UP)— The Military Court investigating the assassination of President Anas- tasio Somoza returned from Ledén, with the purpose of initiating its legal proceedings in Managua.

It is commented locally _ that Guatemala and El Salvador could lend strength to the anticommun- ist block in this area of America to face the danger that could come unexpectedly if the agitation would break out in an acute form in other Central American nations, as Honduras and Nicaragua. CARLOS MARISTANY ARRESTED HERE ON ARMS CHARGES Carlos Maristany, Cuban ex-Min- ister of Communications during the Administration of ex- President Carlos Prio Socarrés, was arrested Tuesday upon his arrival in Miami from México.

TEACHERS STRIKE RIO DE JANEIRO—(UP)—The representatives of more than 3,000 teachers in 29 high schools voted |to stage a two-day strike next Thursday and Friday in support of demand for higher pay.

W. 12th. Avenue opens its collective doors for bus- iness. Much has appeared, covering the tremendous investments that have gone into this $15 million enter- prise. However, there are other im- portant considerations involved in the development of this mercantile complex. Some of the questions that have arisen concern the impact this shopping center will have upon the adjacent community, the residents and businesses in the immediate area, The answer to these questions was given today in an interview with Samuel Friedland, president of Food Fair Properties, Inc., de- velopers of the huge regional cen- ter. “Well - planned regional shop- ping centers in other part of the country have proved to be out- standing additions to their com- munities,” Mr. Friedland declared, | Settlement of the walkout was made possible after federal media- tors granted the fare increases the companies had demanded as a con- dition to paying higher wages. Public transportation returned to normal this morning for the first. time since midnight Mon- day when workers, employed by 37 lines, wayked out. Wage hikes retroactive to last March will be paid within 30 day. The mew fares, 20 to 50 per cent above present ones, will become effective next Wednesday. FOUR KILLED IN RR WRECK IN BRAZIL RIO DE JANEIRO—(UP)— The Brazilian News Agency Asapress reported that four persons were killed and nearly 200 injured in a railway wreck near Salvador, Ba- bia State. Ten of the injured were reported in a serious condition. A passenger train of the East- ern Brazil Line was derailed and ago. wrecked, the report said. It quot- Shopping Center Great Asset to On November ist., the largest regional shopping center in Flori- and proceeds to give his reasons for this statement. : “Perhaps foremost among the contributions made to the com- munity by a sound, ‘successful shopping center are the taxes it pays, without commensurate drain on municipal services. For — in- stance the establishment of a shop- ping center means that the muni- cipality. does not have to provide any additional police or school fa- cilities, as is the case if a develop- ment takes the form of new re- sidential housing. “Neither does the community have to furnish water, sewerage, lighting, paving, street cleaning and the collateral services that are normally part of the muni- cipality’s activities. “Thus a large regional center, such as the one we are opening on November 1, makes a very sub- stantial net contribution to the local government treasury, and in turn all residents of the com- munity benefit.” Mr. Friedland went on to enum- erate some of the other advantages ed crew members as saying the slow speed at which the train was going at the time of the accident prevented a much bigger disaster. HEAVY EARTHQUAKE ROCKS MANAGUA MANAGUA, Nicaragua —(UP) A heavy earthquake rocked this Nicaraguan capital today and spread terror among its residents, The quake struck at 9:15 A. M. EST 8:45 A. M. local time, send- ing most of the city’s 115,000 in- habitants rushing into the open. First reports disclosed no casu- alties. Within. the past 48 hours earth tremors have been felt in the vi- cinity. Espadillo Hillock, 10 miles west of the city, began erupting heavy clouds of burning sulphur- ous ashes. The hillock had never previously shown volcanic activity. Several cottages in the village of Mateare were set afire and de stroyed, Community that are brought by substantial re- gional centers, such as the one his firm is about to open. “Instead of throttling adjacent retail business, these centers are always the means of stimulating new patronage for local merchants outside the shopping center. Al- most every community has found all retail business has benefited from the advent of a new shopping center simply because the shopping center generates such a huge in: crease in patronage from a larger trading area. “Regional shopping centers have also stimulated new housing, be- cause many who find work at such centers prefer to live near their jobs.” “Finally, large shopping centers bring prosperity to the community by adding to local payrolls. You bring in several thousand ~ well paying jobs, and everyone from the local banks to the transporta- tion systems benefit from the mil- lion of dollars in salaries that are paid.” “These facts are so well under- stood by many communities throughout the country that muni- cipal governments frequently so- licit the establishment of well de- signed shopping centers.” Many additional benefits, not touched upon, by Mr. Friedland, but well understood by those who have experienced the pleasure and comfort of shopping in regional centers, include that of “one-stop” buying. With 49 stores grouped in one central location, offering mer- chandise and services in almost unlimited range of price; ample free parking for the family,, car; these centers have stimulated group shopping wherein all mem- bers of the family participate. Finally, many large shopping centers have entered actively into community activities, offering enterprises. The Merchants Association of the 163rd. Street Shopping Center have already underwritten a pro- gram that will provide a series of special events throughout the year. They include community events such as special Christmas season decoration, with local participation in a holiday festival; sports car exhibits, art exhibitions, | Kaster Sunrise services, outdoor fashion shows and a score of othet pro: jects that will interest and benefit all members of the community, their huge facilities for many civic - ee
