EDITORIAL : INTERNATIONAL POLICE Although some voices of protest are still heard | regarding the existence of the International Police force trying to maintain peace and security among the States, it is evident that the modern concept of that effective vigilance is getting underway and has crossed the limits of doctrinary planning to hecome an established norm consecrated by the United Nations Organization. Against the opinion of those invoking anach- ronistic concepts of rigid, arbsolute sovereignty, the San Francisco Charter is clear in the sense of stating that, if efforts “for peaceful solution of controversies” fail, there are measures that can be taken, in the part of the UNO, to enforce, through International Police, peace and. security among the States. Chapter VII of the Charter established in @ categorical manner the “Action in cases of threats to peace, breaking of the peace or acts of aggres- sion”. By virtue of those resolutions agreed upon by the community of States, the Security Council of the United Nations Organization intervened, mili- tary, in Korea, and now it maintains troops in a preventive measure in Egypt, where continuation | of a warlike situation of grave consequences for) world peace has been prevented, On the basis of provisions in the San Francisco Charter, Ecuadorean President Camilo Ponce En- riquez has said, in an interview with THE AMERI- CAS DAILY, that International Police should be sent also to Hungary, a country which has been victim of brutal aggression in the part of Russia. In the defense of international peace and public order, the Organization of the United Nations has full rights, not only according to the Charter, but because of positive mandates of a modern ideolo- gical origin, to perform the duties of International Police in the name of civilization and justice, to avoid that nations, directed by ambitious leaders, jump, without regard for the consequences, into the tragic adventure of a war. In Europe, by means of the UN, and in Amer- ica ‘through the Urganization of American States, the convenience of the International Police has been put to the test, when this answers, of course, to pressing, well qualified needs, and to an integration guaranteed by the Institutions of the world wide or regional systems, according to the case. _ Facing the concept of interdependence of the States, the purpose of the International Police, when solving in pro of peace grave problems which affect international public order, is something absolutely normal and nobody who is agreeable to obey in good faith the mandates of the San Fran- cisco Charter or that of the Organization of Amer- ican States, fears this International Police.

FLA., SUNDAY, NOVEMBER 25, 1956 WIN PENDLETON BIG MEETING, BIG SUCCESS— One thing is certain. If misfortune should ever strike Congressman Billy Matthews hard enough to make him lose his seat in Con- gress, he won't have to worry about earning a living. He can move over to television without losing a day’s pay. Those who saw him in action here last week as Master of Cere- monies at the meeting of the Flo- rida Alumni Club will agree that he could easily rate along side George Gobel, Jackie Gleason, Herb Shriner — or any of the other top humorists in the business. The Alumni Club is made up of University of Florida Alumni who live in the Washington area. Some- thing like 150 of them gathered at the Capitol Plaza Room of the Con- tinental Hotel to honor President J. Wayne Reitz. Among the cele- brities at the head table were al- most two dozen other officials and dignitaries from the University. (Able to be present because of other conventions or meetings or business in town.) Club President Frank J. Wideman, Jr., of West Palm Beach, said this looked like “the greateest gathering of Univer- sity of Florida officials ever held outside of Gainesville.” Although ' President Reitz was guest of honor, “Mister Billy” easi- ly was the chief attraction, Not that Dr. Reitz didn’t do a good job. He did. He was eloquent in his bragging about the University. He told about its expansion. The new dormitories, the new medical school, the Dan McCarty. Hall, nu- clear science progress, with a few complimentary words about the football team. He said, “Show me a great university and I’ll show you a great state.” The dinner opened sedately enough, with Congressman Syd Herlong offering the invotation, But after that, Mr. Billy took over. He said the recent election was like a teenage popularity contest in which the Democrats were run- ning Rudy Valee and the Repub- licans were running Elvis Presley. He told about the time he got on the wrong train (this one was car- rying mental patients to Chattahoo chee). An attendant came through the car counting his patients, “1, 2, 3, 4, 5,” and he came to Con- gressman Matthews. “What’s your name? I don’t remember you?” The Congressman said, “I’m Con- gressman Matthews. I represent Florida’s Eighth District in Wash- ington.” The attendant wrote his name down and continued to count “7, 8, 9 10.” He recalled a bygone day when he and Dean Brooker were being initiated into a ‘fraternity at the University. In the course of the midnight ordeal, Mr. Billy was tos- sed into a freshly dug grave in the cemetery. He tried to climb out, but the grave was too deep. Know- ing that ‘sooner or later the fel- lows would be back, he sat quietly inone end to out-wait them. After a while, Brooker was tossed in with him. Unaware of Billy’s presence, Brooker began fran- tically to try to climb out. Billy watched him for awhile then spoke up and said, “No use trying, Brook- er, you'll never make it.” In tell- ing the incident the other night, the Congressman said, “It’s a fun- ny thing, but do you know Dean Brooker did make it — in just one jump, too.” Guests of honor included: Pre-| sident Reitz, Vice-President John| S. Allen, Willard M. Fifield, Dean | Marvin A. Brooker, Dr. Joseph R. Beckenback, Dean Ralph E. Page, Miss Catherine Rockwood, Dean L. E. Grinter, Dean Joseph Weil, Dr. Marion E. Forsman, Dr. Marshall O. Watkins, Bill Fleming, Dean D. R. Stanley, Col. Everett M. Yon, Leland W. Hiatt, Roger Bledsoe, Professors Dunn and Roberts, Ma- rine General and Mrs. Chester A.

His declaration was the first voice of a Chief Executive pro- claiming to the world the necessity of going to the defense of Hungar- ian heroism, with intervention of the International Police, if it were necessary, While the exclusive in- terview granted to THE AMERI- CAS DAILY was taking place, the savage forces of the Kremlin were destroying the heroic resistance of WEMISPHERIC EVENTS NEW INDUSTRIES IN MEXICO MEXICO CITY —(UP)— The Ministry of Economy _ said that 332 new industries with. a total capitalization of $16,144,000 were established in México during the first nine months this year. The new industries are engaged mainly in the manufacture of me- tal goods, machinery, tools and construction materials. Other in- dustries include food processing plants, furniture and shoes. At the same time, the federal fiscal agency “Nacional Financie- ra” said México’s industrialization drive had resulted in spectacular growth of urban centers through- out the country. The agency pointed out that ur- ban populatinn last year increas- ed at the rate of 4.7 per cent, whereas total population increase was at the rate of 2.8 per cent. in the Grand Salon of the Pierre Hotel, from 7 to 9 p, m., was also attended by pre-eminent personal- ities’ in finance, commerce and in- dustry, as well as high officials of this city, | the Americas, President Ponce En- , Budapest.

Referring to the Pan American Conferece which is to meet at Quito, he said: “Our word, inter- nationally given, will be kept. On January 1, 1957, reconstruction will begin on the Government Palace, and also the construction of the Legislative Palace, which will be the seat of the Conference. We will do everything in our power to give a worthy reception to the delega- tions of the Americas.” 5 “Ecuador considers an honor to be the seat of the continental forum, Our country firmly believes in the necessity to strengthen the Inter American System as a safe road to the interliving and peace among the peoples of the Hemis- phere.” Commenting on the progress achieved in hemispheric unity, President Ponce Enriquez refers with enthusiasm to the forthcom- ing arrival in Ecuador of a Vene- zuelan Mission. “President Pérez Jiménez — says the Ecuadorean statesman — with great under- standing an genuine spirit of co- operation, has authorized the trip of a mission of engineers and fin- ancial experts who will arrive in Ecuador. in December, to study a plan of Venezuelan aid for our development. I know, from dif- ferent sources, that President Pé- rez Jiménez has achieved much in his social work, in particular re- garding housing for workers, and that he has in mind to help us in a similar program, as well as for the realization of a nation ideal, as it is for us the construction of a port on the Guayas River. The Venezue- lan Mission will be received in Ecuador with the warmth given to them and to us by the heroic fig- ures of Bolivar and Sucre, who oc- cupy a very special place in Ecua- dorean conscience.” Although time is running long al- ready, the President speaks with convincing enthusiasm of Ecuador, America, the world. . .There are in his words sincere expressions which are cautivating, and which renew faith in the dignity of man. His words, as well as his gestures, remind us of a sentence in his inaugural address: “MY ACTIONS BELONG TO THE FATHERLAND AND MY CONSCIENCE TO GOD!” Member Inter American Press Association For Liberty, Culture and Hemispheric Solidarity NUMBER 114 ‘Latin American Newsmen _|Highly Praise Democracy’ and Hospitality of USA THE McALLISTER UNFOLDS RED CARPET TO WELCOME VISITING “GOOD NEIGHBORS” By ANTONIO RUIZ Prominent journalists ‘from se- veral Latin American countries, were honor guests Friday night at an informal dinner offered to them by the management of the Mc- Allister Hotel, in which cordiality, good neighborliness and continent- al friendship prevailed.

Sd Virgilio Albanese, Editor of “La Tribuna,” Rosario, Argentina, thanked the host and stated thet their visit to Miami was something like a “Grand Finale” to a grap- diose tour, in which they admired, more than anything else, the per- fect way in which democracy works in this great country, a feeling shared by all. the visiting journal- ists “The greatest thing about this country — he said— is that having achieved a degree of progress, pros- perity and wealth never known: be- fore, it has never ocurred to the leaders to do what Rome, : with much less resources, set out to-do: conquer the world. The lack: of aggressive intentions is the greatest asset this country has, the strong: est reason for all her citizens-to be | proud of the fatherland,” he said. Albanese concluded saying that, although he has always been in- terested in promting closer Inter American felations, after this ‘visit it will be a task to which he-will dedicate greater efforts in the fu- ture.

No Connection With Prio, Cubans Arrested in México City Declare MEXICO, Nov, 24—(UP)— Pe- dro Miret Prieto, Enio Leyva Fuen- tes and Teresa Casuso Marin, the three Cubans who were arrested and charged with illegal possession of arms, presumed to be destined for a revolution against the govern- ment of President Fulgencio Ba- tista, refused to reveal where they obtained the weapons and what they intended’ to do with them. The police forcibly entered two houses in the aristocratic residen- tial section of the Chapultepec hills where 15,000 rounds of various ca- liber ammunition, nine 30-60 cali- ber rifles and sixteen 38 caliber “Star” pistols were seized.

SHOPPING IN NEW YORK FOR PUERTO RICAN TV WASHINGTON—(UP)— Maria- no Villaronga, Puerto Rican, Se- eretary of Education, left for New York to shop for programs and equipment for the Government- owned television station scheduled to begin operating in San Juan next spring. Villaronga told the United Press ae hopes to obtain programs from the Ford Foundation and other non-profit educational organiza- tions with representatives in New York. The Secretary was in Washing- ton for ten days attending federal hearings on his department's ap- plication for a television outlet in Mayagiiez. Federal Communications Com- mission (FCC) examiner Hugh B. Huchison closed those hearings al- ready. Two commercial applicants, the Ponce de Leén Broadcasting Com- pany ef San Juan and Sucesién” Luis Piralla Castellanos of Maya- giiez, vigorously contested the Education Department attempt to gain control of the second and last channel assigned to Mayagiiez. Owners Manuel and Carlos Pira- lla of Sucesién pointed out that assignment of the second chan- nel in Mayagiiez to the Govern- ment would. leave the city with no competitive commercial televi- sion industry. There would be one commercial station and one gov- backer of this supposed conspira« tion against Batista regime. They also denied having any ties with Fis del Castro. oa The investigation is now. ¢con- ducted: by the Attorney General of the Republic Dr. José Aguilar y Maya, to whom all records of the incident were delivered. He will decide, within 48 hours, if the ar- rested should be place. .under jurisdication of a Federal Judge, for prosecution, or be released. Non-officials sources said. that Teresa Casuso Marin is akin to Prio, who appointed her for a Dip* lomatic post in México, when. he was President. She is the widow of the famous Cuban writer Pablo de: la Torriente Bau, leader of the agi- tation against Machado, who died- in the Spanish Civil War fighting: with the republicans. : When questioned Mrs. Casuso Marin, who said she is a newspaper- woman, declared that the arms’ were left at her home by “two Cu- ban friends”. “They told me what they were going to use them for and I agreed. If it is something cor- nected with the struggle against Batista, I always agree. I am not. going to divulge who my friends” are. I am the one who knows. And I will not try to elude my responsi® bility.” 5 Leyva Fuentes and Miret admit- ted they know Mrs. Casuso Marfw but denied any knowledge of the seized arms, cm Other sources said that Urfo: So- carrés is the Head of the Central: American Democratic Union, which is presumed to have replaced: the Caribbean Legion and which pur. poses are to provoke revolutions in Cuba, Guatemala and Nicara- gua. * This is the third plot against 4 Cuban Government discovered here during the last two months.
