The loan will help to finance te construction of a hydroelec ic power plant at Rineén de Bay orria on the Rio Negro, and ad- tional transmission and distribu- on facilities. The project will in- | ‘ease generating capacity in Uru-| day by about one-quarter and is art of a program being carried at to provide an adequate power stem throughout the country. The loan was»made to the Ad- linistracion General de las Usinas lectricas y los Teléfonos del Es- do (U. T. E.), an autonomous dvernment agency responsible w providing electric power and | lephone services in Uruguay. U. . E. supplies power to the small- communities . through diesel aits, and to the larger towms and ontevideo, the capital and chief ymmercial center, through an ex- nsive transmission system fed y two steam plants in Montevideo id a hydroelectric plant at Rin- m del Bonete on the Rio Negro yout 135 miles north of Montevi- 20. The mew Baygorria plant will connected into this system id raise its generating capacity 392,000 kilowatts.. Since 1947 there has been a con- derable expansion of existing dustry and development of new dustries in Uruguay, especially « the interior. They have included cement plant, a tannery, a sugar ‘finery, fertilizer plants and paper etories. This industrial growth, gether with a steady rise in de- and for residential an other uses, as resulted in an increase in the smand for electricity throughout e country. From 1947 through 155, the increase in sales of power , Montevideo averaged about 8.- per cent a year; the increase | the other communites reached | i.2 per cent, reflecting the growth industry in the interior where | dustrial power sales more than | vubled in the past six years. | The site of the Baygorria plant | -about 53 miles downstream from | e existing Bonete hydroelectric | ation, The new plant will have! only a small reservoir and will | nete’s large reservoir. The Baygo- | rria plant will have three generat- | ing units with a combined capacity of 103,000 kilowatts. High tension transmission lines and substations will be put up to connect the | Baygorria station with Rincon del Bonete and with Montevideo. Also included in the project is a “col- lector ring” consisting of under- | ground cables, transmission lines | and substations to be built in Mon- | tevideo to improve the city’s pri- | mary distribution system. A small | part of the loan will be used to purchase business machines to | mechanize U. T, E.’s accounting | department. A contract for the construction of the Baygorria station was award- ed in May 1956 to a consortium of European firms on the basis of | international bidding. Contracts for the transmission lines and the | collector ring are yet to be award- | ed. The entire project is scheduled | for completion in 1961. The total eost of the. project is estimated at the equivalent of $58 million. The Bank’s loan will provide $25.5 million of the for- eign exchange costs. A large part of the loan will be made in deut- schemarks and the remainder in | Swedish kronor, Swiss francs and other currencies. The equivalent of $32.5 million will be financed | by U. T. E. from its own resources or local borrowings. The Bank’s loan ts for a term of 25 years and bears interest of 5 per cent including the 1 per cent commission charged by the Bank. The Bank has now made three loans totaling $64 million to U. T. E. A loan of $33 million in 1950 covered most of the foreign ex- change costs of various projects for expanding and modernizing U. T. E.’s power and telephone facili- ties. This loan has been completely disbursed and the projects fimish- ed. A loan of $5.5 million in 1955 is helping to finance an additional | 50,000-kilowatt unit at the Batlle y Ordonez thermal power station in Montevideo. ‘ After having been approved by utilize the regulated flow of Bo- | WIN PENDLETON HOW IS THE ELECTION GO- VG That is the question.

Even in Georgia, the nearest | thing we have to a 100 per cent} Democratic State, one-third of the | voters went along with General Ei- | senhower in 1952. And he’ll get a} big vote again this time. | From this trend in voting comes a new pattern. Where can we look for a “political thermometer?” Where can we find the “average voter?” Florida might well be the best spot.

And of course we won’t know the real ans- wer until November 7th. 1 the Bank’s Executive Directors, the loan documents were signed by His Excellency, Dr. Julio A. Lacarte Muro, Ambassador for Uruguay in Washington, on behalf of the Re- public of Uruguay, Senor Orestes L. Lanza, President of U. T. E., on behalf of the borrower, and Mr. W.' A.

In amswer to a question the ex- | President declared: “The tin mines, definitely, will continue nationalized.” He pointed out afterward that, on the other hand, a new mine, — a zine mine, will be leased on a base of royalties, to a North Ame- rican company. “We are discussing and negotiating on it now,” he said " . : | stay i ‘i | sai Russia has demonstrated on this occasion that |‘**Y i” office.

Dr. José Vicente Trujillo, Am- bassador of Ecuador and President of the Latin American Group, de- livered a few words of greeting to the distinguished visitor, from his colleagues. In his statements to newspaper- men, Paz Estenssoro said that his country is emgaged in a plan of monetary stabilization and that, in this job, it has the cooperation of North American assessors, who now are officials of the Bolivian Government. “Bolivia will cut down its fiscal expenses and its foreign exchange expenses. Also it will fix a new ex- change rate at the beginning of next month,” he explained. “With this plan we aim to attain mone- tary stabilization and payments ba- lance.” “On the fixing of a new ex- change rate — he said — Bolivia will act in collaboration with the International Monetary Fund, of which she is a member.” He ended by saying that once the stabilizing plan is enforced, Bolivia will apply for aid fromthe | United States. “Such aid could be part as a loan and the rest as help” he said. HEMISPHERIC EVENTS between the Americas MIAMI SPRINGS, FLA., SUNDAY, OCTOBER 28, 1956 “Good Partnership” Policy is Working in the Americas ANNAPOLIS, Maryland —(UP) U. S. Ambassador to Paraguay Ar- thur A. Ageton said the U. S. po-| licy of “Good Partnership” is working in the Americas because “instead of imposing our methods, | our opinions, and our financial. . . | | power, we are working together as | | good partners in progress.” He told a group of Rotary In- |ternatonal members at a dinner | at the U. S. Naval Academy here that a good example. of how this policy is working can be seen in | Paraguay. In Paraguay U. S. technicians | and scientists are working hand in hand with its citizens building sewers, planing roads, improving airfields, and fighting diseases, | | Ambassador Ageton said. This work is not under the sole management and direction of Ame- rican technicians,” he said. “It is truly an exemplification of good partnership of the joint efforts of Paraguayan officials and techni- cians.” Ageton said the United States | was not helping her sister repu- blics develop economically “only in order to give the citizens of those countries the will to resist communist propaganda and sub- version.” /PAA Appoints New| Traffic Manager in Colén, Panama Panamés growing importance as an air cargo distribution point for Pan American World Airways is reflected in the appointment of Sydney R. Chichester as district traffic and sales manage at Co- lon. A cargo specialist, Chichester has been with PAA for nearly 14 years, the last nine months as cargo sales superintendent of the | Latin American Division. Chichester, who takes over his new duties November 1, replaces the late Carlos Milberg. Pan American’s routes radiate from Panama to all parts of Latin America. The country’s strategic location on the air and sea lanes, plus the advantages of its Free Zone make Colén an unexcelled crossroad in international trade. Colén is the only PAA office in the world that registers more re- venue from cargo than passengers, and the airline has encouraged further growth of the customs-free port by reducing rates up to 50 per cent on general cargo from Panama to Central America and on specific commodities from Pa- nama to Miami and Central Ameri- ca. Since joining PAA in 1942, Chi- chester has held various cargo pos- itions, including those of sales co- ordinator, supervisor, and assistant station cargo manager at Miami. Born im New York City, Chi- chester attended schools there, in Miami and at Riverside Military Academy, Gainesville, Georgia. He lives with his wife and daughter ee Heated Debate Expected For Liberty, Culture and Hemispheric Solidarity Member Inter American Press Association NUMBER 94 at IAPA Session on Move Nicaraguan Govt. Denies Charges by Journalist MANAGUA, Oct. 27—(UP) The Government of Nicaragua de- nied the statement made in Mé- xico by the exiled Nicaraguan journalist Hernan Robleto, who said that prisoners are kept here in “wire inclosures.” Captain José Luis Aguado, Head of the Department of Laws and Army Relations, declared to for- eign correspnndents: “This Department, having know- ledge of the false and slanderous statements given to the United Press in México by Hernan Robleto saying that in this country there are political culprits imprisoned in “wire inclosures,” denies without | delay such slanderous assertion, as nobody better than the families of those incarcerated previously, and those now in prison during the in-| vestigation of the assassination of President Somoza, can declare that Robleto’s accusations are false. “Contrarywise, those culprits have been well treated during the investigations conducted by the Mi- litary Court. Many newspapermer have been released, among them journalists, Abatinza and Selva.” Aguado said that “Although Ro- bleto affirms the contrary, com- plete peace reigns in the whole country.” f The captain invited national and foreign newspapetrmen to vis- it the prisoners so as to verify that what he was saying is true, and false what Robleto asserted. FIVE MEMBERS TO HAVANA, Oct. 27—(UP)—Pro- bably the most heated debate of the session of the Inter American Press Association (IAPA), is the one beginning today when the Board of Directors met to discuss the motion that was presented for the expulsion from the Society of Stanely Ross, Editor of the news- paper “Diario de Nueva York, Five members of IAPA charged Ross with having violated Article 2 of the Statutes of the Organiza- | tion and of being an agent of Ra- | fael L, Trujillo, the strong man of | the Dominican Republic. Several other Delegates, aside from the five who signed the mo- tion, informed the United Press that they will support irrefutable proofs against the Editor of the | New York daily. Ross is here to personally de- fend himself against the accusa- tions. Jules Dubois, President of the | IAPA’s Press Freedom Commission who with other four members sign- ed the motion, said that he had | “new evidence” against Ross. The motion against Ross is sign- ed by Dubois, Pedro Beltran, of “La Prensa,” of Lima; Castro Be- eche, of “La Nacién” of San José de Costa Rica; David Vela, of “El | Imparcial,” of Guatemala and Da- vid Michel Torino, of “El Intran- sigente”, of Salta, Argentina. The motion says in brief that Ross addressed a letter to Truji- llo asking for economic aid he needed to control “El Diario de Nueva York,” at the same time that proposing an editorial policy favorable to Trujille interests. Tt adds that Ross denied the existence of such letter, but later admitted, before a subcommittee of IAPA, who quizzed him, that he wrote it.

ULATE ACCUSES GERMAN ORNES HAVANA, Oct. 27 (Special to THE AMERICAS DAILY) — The ex President of Costa Rica, Otilio Ulate, speaking before the Board of Directors of IAPA, said that the case of stanley Ross is the same as that of German Ornés, because both wrote to Trujillo in 1955, ask- ing him for money to buy the “Diario de Nueva York.” For that reason, he said, “if Ornés is not éx- “ pelled I don’t believe Ross should be, since that would be an injus- tice, and IAPA would become a “gossip club.” t Ulate added that when he finish- ed his period of government in Costa Richa he was almost bank- rupt and that the most difficult thing in the world is to be Presi- dent of a country, because of the great demand made by the people. The ex-President showed the As- sembly a:photo from a Costa Ri- can newspaper showing him wit Batista and Trujillo. The caption says that Ulate came to Cuba to speak with Batista and later with the dominican dictator. Ulate said that is an example of the moral pressure exercised in the nations where free expression does fot exist. i Unity in the Americas is Becoming a Happy Reality, Stroessner Says Expressing great interest for In- teramerican affairs, the President of Paraguay, General Alfredo Stroessner, made interesting state- ments for THE AMERICAS DAI- LY to Dr. Francisco Aguirre, Edit- or, during his recent visit to that country.

MEXICO CITY—(UP)— ~ Two million landless Mexican peasants flock to border areas. every year hoping to make a living in the United States, a farm official said. Arturo Luna Lugo, Secretary General of the National Farmers Confederation, said the peasants have no homes or property, “not even enough to eat” and their pligh is “one.of the great tragedies of our country.” - He said the NFC is doing all it can to remedy the situation but the “problem is so big that only a joint national effort can solve it.” sibility of subjugation of our peo- ples to the plans of Moscow.” When asked what, in his opinion, could be done to strengthen unity in the Americas, he said: “The institutions created for that purpose within the Organization of Americans States. constitute the best instruments to achieve that objective. The joint declaration of Panama is a ratification of a com- mon ideal by the peoples, ideal which has not changed since the times of Bolivar. The policy of co- operation proclaimed and practic- ed by the United States is bearing fruit, and today nobody doubts that economic and technical assist- ance used to awaken the potential wealth of the American nations -is tending to bring the benefits of progress to all the peoples of the Hemisphere. On the other hand — he continued — the positive unity of the Americas is becoming, day by day, a happy reality, with the practice of solidarity among neighbors, translated in the agree- ments for the mutual complement- ation of the “economies, and the opening of new highways, as. well as the establishment of air lines to increase interchange’. and to ee eagtnen the bonds of brother- hood.” President Stroessner, who has great interest.in the increase of tourist travel to Bolivia, which de- pends much, on the air lines, de- clared on this subject: x “Aviation, which is but half a century old, has become the-most important. factor for unity” nations. Tourism is today an acti- vity closely linked to aviation. The more air lines there are, the great- er the tourist trafife will be,” and concluded saying: “My country sponsors everything regarding the. increase of air acti- vities in its territory, and receives: all the international air- lines which today converge to it, because of its geographical situ tion in'the heart of South America. As a consequence, increase . in ‘tourist trade is already a. reality we appreciate in all its meaning, since we know very well ita areat benefits for Paraguay.” rir! ,
