Some rebel groups still reamin, which with unusual courage, wi face the cruel invader, while thousands of Hunga- rians are sent in railriad cars, enclosed lige animals, to suffer the tortures and “paradise”. Communism has lost t due to the unanimous} and death, in almost all th immense patriotism, hard labor of the Soviet | he little prestige it still! had among some simpletons in the rest of the world, | because in all corners of the earth a great feeling of solidarity with the Hu ngarian people is being born. Morally, as well as politically—as if morality could be mentioned regarding communism—Russia is suffering a great international failure; because all the civilized nations are condemning the military savagery with which the R ussian forces are subju- gating the Hungarian people. In this Hungarian case Russia has not acted, as in others, as a power encouraging an internal struggle, as it happened i which, hypocritically, she n multiple occasions in remains outside of the eonflict while communist cash and arms, as well as expert red agitators, carry on the work of anarchy which precedes the establishment of the communist dictatorship. In this case Russia has intervened openly and cynically as a military power. Her heavy tanks, her heavy caliber guns, her modern machine guns, all her military might, was officially thrown against the Hungarian people, with great display of barbarism, with utter disregard for humanitarian sentiments and for the principles which regulate international ways of. livi ng. And the reason is, that to maintain a communist regime. within which there is not individual freedom of any kind, it is necessary to make use of all those methods, no matter how abominable they may be, as otherwise, there is no people who w ould stand for so much infamy and so much arbitrariness.

The residences, which at that time were veritable palaces belonging to noble and’ wealthy lords, still preserve the colonial atmosphere. However, these alone do mot constitute that special air of antiquity that seems so close | and yet is so remote. Everything in Guanabacoa con: jures into life the colonial epoch; spacious houses of colonial archi- tecture, noble and dignified in their abandonment, whose modern inhabitants, with their anachron- isms, have not succeeded in break- ing their enchantment; the nar- row streets, grilled windows, the niches that still subsist and per- haps are still venerated; the con- vents, churches, especially the Parochial Church, and many oth- er relics of the past, Guanabacoa already _ existed when the Conquistadores. landed on the island. It is probable that the Indian village was even then, a watery resort, because the Si- boney word “Guanabacoa” means “Place of Waters”. | The palaces which remain as | witnesses of days gone by belong- | ed to the counts of O'Reilly, of | Mopox, de Jaruco and of Casa Ba- yona, to the Marquises of Prado Ameno, of Villalba and others. To- day they are modest, bourgeois mansions, The Parochial Church of Guana- bacoa contains a beautiful High Altar, in the baroque style, and an artistic statue, a century old, which represents Our Lady of the Assumption, patroness of the Ci- ty, in whose honor two processions that still retain their splendor pa-! rade the streets of the 15th. and the 26th. of August of each year. Other public buildings which de- serve a visit are the Carral Theatre, the Convent of Saint Anthony, which dates back to 1755, and whose chapel and cloisters have: woodwork of singular beauty, and where the Aesculapiam Fathers have a school of great repute; the | ancient Convent of Santo Do- mingo and others. In the outskirts of the city are the Hospital of Our Lady of Charity, founded in 1855 by Don Ramén Flores de Apodaca, and the “Loma de la Cruz” (Hill of the Cross), tomb of an Indian named Bichat. At the foot of this hillock there are some lovely gar- denss and a fountain of mineral | waters. Another interesting town is Ba- taband, active fishing center not- ed for its important sponge indus- try, at only 36.6 miles from Hava- na. It can be reached by train in ome hour and forty five minutes; by bus in one hour and thirty minutes, and by car.

Sugar mills near Havana can be conveniently visited by motor, bus or train, Central Toledo, in Ma- rianao, is only a few minutes ride from the capital by bus. The re- quired permit to visit his sugar mill can be obtained through the Cuban Tourist Commission. Cen- tral Hershey, under American management, is one of the show places in the neighborhood of Ha- vana and can be reached by car, bus or trains of the Hershey -own- ed Railroad, which leave Casa Blanca several times a day. Visit- ors are welcome the year round and for them Hershey has provid- ed such attractions. as and excel- lent golf course, tennis courts, etc,, as well as a good hotel which serves American meals at moder- ate prices, Central Providencia is also an interesting mill to visit during the grinding season. Spanish Version Page 3 Social worker declares there is less Juvenile delinquency in the island |_ WASHINGTON —(UP)— Se-) |fiora Dolores La Caro, Director of Puerto Rico’s Mental Hygiene Pro- gram believes Puerto Rico is “far and other big game fish that are | a better understanding MIAMI SPRINGS, FLA., FRIDAY, NOVEMBER 16, 1956 ahead” of the United States in the |mental-health-social work — pro-} grams. | She told the United Press the |closeness of the islands has made |it possible for better cooperation | between the Puerto Rican person- |nel in the mental health field and | those who do social work. Because |the United States is so large and |there are so many points of view jon technical procedure, she said, there has been a tendency to de- lay the cooperation that should exist between these two types of workers. Mrs. La Caro who has been director of the “Programa de Hi- giene Mental” in Puerto Rico since 1951 and also executive in the men- tal health field for 14 years, just concluded a week-long conference here, She represented Puerto Ri- eo at the annual meeting of the surgeon general of the U. S. Public Health Service with the state and territorial health officers. She left for Atlantic City, N. J. where she will attend a week-long meeting of the United States Pub- lie Service, She will return to San Juan shortly after the meeting ends. Proud of the advanced mental health and social work of Puerto Rico, Mrs. La Caro says there is still much that can be done there to help, “especially among juve- niles.” She said that percentage- wise, there is less juvenile delin- quency there than in the United States. She added, however, that she has noted an increase among juveniles in Puerto Rico who are “emotionally disturbed.” Sra. La Caro said the stronger family tie that predominates in the typical Puerto Rican family ‘is probably why there is less juvenile delinquency in Puerto Rico than in the United States where the families are not so united.” CORRECTION In a United Press news item, published by us on Nov. 10, the nationality of José Quintero, prominent theatri- cal director is given as Gua- temalan. At the request of Miss Ani- ta Ramirez Duque, Counselor of the Panamanian Embassy in Washington, we are glad to make this correction, stat- ing that the nationality of Mr. Quintero is Panamanian. Latin Americans Warn U.S. Plane Manufacturers on Sales Policies Latin American airlines, stymied by tough U. S. credit rules and a policy of selling old model planes, warn they may have to turn to Rus- aviation needs, The warning came as some 250 military and civilian aviation lead- ers in the Hemisphere met in the opening session of the first Latin American Aviation The meeting, sponsored by the air- craft industries Association, is the first of its kind ever held. Delega- tes from 20 countries are attending in an effort to better coordinate military and commercial aviation in the Hemisphere. Robert Edgar Smith, General Manager of Linea Aéreas Costarri- censes, said reluctance on the part of American plane manufacturers to extend long term credit is ser- iously hurting Latin America’s abi- lity to buy American-made planes. “There is strong evidence,” he said, “that English, French and Russian equipment will be avail- able under more favorable terms than American equipment.” Col. Manuel Gambetta of the Peruvian Air Force criticized the U. S. manufacturer’s for their po- licy of selling mostly older type sia, England or France for their| Conference. | between the Americas KIND LETTER FROM Panamanian Envoy J. J. Vallarino Regarding a recent editorial DAILY in homage to the Repub- lic of Panama, we have received a very kind letter, addressed to our Publisher, Dr. Francisco Aguirre, from Panamanian Am- bassador Dr. J, J. Vallarino, as follows: My dear friend: With great pleasure I have read the commendable editorial published in the edition of THE AMERICAS DAILY of Nov. 3, dedicated to the Republic of Pa- nama on the occassion of the commemoration of that glorious date. I deeply appreciate the feel- ings of good will and admiration which your paper so generously dedicates to the Panamanian Nation. In the same way I Wish to thank you for the kind words dedicated to me as Ambassador of Panama before the Govern- ment of the White House and the Organization of American States. I take this opportunity to reiterate my testimony of the highest consideration and per- sonal esteem. (Signed) J. J. VALLARINO planes to the Latin nations, QUITO, Ecuador — All Eeuad- orean newspapers have commented favorably the last declarations of President Camilo Ponce, who in speeches delivered at the several provincial festivities, said: “We will surmount the political pungencies and be able to strengthen the life of the Parties. Ecuador, at present, is enjoying a climate of liberty. and constitutional guarantees. I am deeply worried about the so- cial problems. Publie works will not be discontinued; we will pro- ceed developing the program in an orderly manner. I reject-the in- sinuation that I am an enemy of the Armed Forees. I will preserve Colombia Plans to BOGOTA, Nov. 15—(UP)5— The possibility of negotiating a foreign loan, to liquidate the Colombian commercial debt, which amounts teday to 198 millions dollars, was announced by Minister of Finance Luis Morales Gémez, during a de- bate in one of the Committees of. the National Constituent Assem- bly. Morales Gémez said that another probability was to reach a direct accord with the United States cre- ditors, to liquidate delinquent pay- ments through quotas. However, the Minister pointed out that these probabilities will be subjected to a normalization of the internal situa- tion and to the adoption of a Negotiate a Loan a reform of the Customs Tariff. The- Minister of Finances said he believes that, within sixty days, a total normalization of Colombian imports can be attained and that the Tariff reform will constitute a steady regime, within which elim- ination of some of the imports and their taxes will be tried. If it could be done, the repeal of the multiple exchange rates will be- gin. ° According to the figures submit- ted by the Minister, it is expected that the pending foreign remit- tances will be reduced at the end of this year to 170 millions dol- lars, as the Government will remit Ponce Enriquez Wins High Praise From Press on Policy Statements Ambassador the prestige of the Institution, the vertebrae of our national security and prestige. I will not close the laic schools, but I will not tolerate that, under the cloak of laity, others will be victimized.” Then,+ in Riobamba, he added: “A new spirit animates today’s Ecuador- eans. My government will be a government to serve the people. Merriment and pride of liberty and republicanism is noted every- where. The country has reached maturity and we are forging ahead in our progress, You have not gi- ven me the banner of a political party, but the flag of all Ecuador- eans.” ' These declarations have strength ened the belief that the new re- sident is a true “revelation,” due to his spirit of harmony and union. All government employees, be- fore assuming the duties of their posts, are today under obligation of making a declaration of every- thing they own. They must do likewise when abandoning their positions, with the purpose of verifying their honesty in, the handling of public funds.

Representative Cramer Asks For Reduction of Cuban Tobacco Duty: WASHINGTON —(UP)— _ Re- publican Representative William C. Cramer has asked the United States Tariff Commission to re- duce the duty on imported raw Cuban tobaccos. \ He asked for the reduction, he told the commissioners, because the United States has granted import- ers of manufactured Cuban tobac- cos a 10 per cent duty reduction. Cramer, along with other Tampa, Florida, tobacco interests, testified in the first day hearings at the U.} S. Tariff Commission here. The Commission is hearing both domestic cigar manufacturers and domestic tobacco growers on whether or not there should be a duty cut on imported Cuban raw tobaccos. The hearings will provide in- formation needed by the State Department in its proposed trade negotiations with Cuba that are scheduled soon. A U. S, cut on Cuban raw tobacco duty would mean Cuba would have to cut her duty on some American imports.
