Fila op February & 1956 EDITORIAL THE VENEZUELAN POSITION AND THE SUEZ PROBLEM The crisis in the Middle East has confirmed, with incontestable facts, the extraordinary economic importance that Venezuela has achieved in the! modern world. For WIN PENDLETON WHAT WILL FOLLOW? What will be the outcome of the “bus se- gregation” conference to be held in Washington on December 10th.? Thirty-four United Sstates Attor- neys from 14 states have been summoned to a one-day conclave here. From Florida will be George H. Carswell, of the Northern Dis- trie, and James L. Guilmartin, The oil resources of’ this progressive South} American country constitite one of the most signifi-| cant strongholds for the development of industrial | and commercial activities in all the nations on earth| not having petroleum of their own, or which are not! able to produce it in the quantities required for their) ‘needs. What is happening now is only a sample of the importance of Venezuela in case of a world war, brought about by the struggle between communism and the democratic nations. Should that terrible situation arise, the Vene- zuelan oil would be one of the determining factors} in the capacity of the Western nations, especially the United States, regarding indispensable raw materials required to face a war of such proportions. The current visit to Washington of the Vene- zuelan Foreign Minister, Dr. José Loreto Arismendi, after an extensive tour of Europe and after partici- pating in the debates of the General Assembly of the United Nations, is of particular international importance, with considerable political repercussions regarding security, precisely because of the new Venezuelan position in world affairs after the se-| rious experience in the Middle East. For the United States it is of great significance the fact that a country in our hemisphere, with which it has the bond of Inter American solidarity, should be the possessor of such vast oil resources, as well as iron, all of which will be at the service of Western defenses, in particular the American Con-| tinent. HUNGARIANS REFUGEES IN LATIN AMERICA More than thirty five thousands Hungarians are finding refuge, after being the victims of com- munistic persecution, in ten Latin American coun- tries, . The Hungarians have found, in the Western Hemisphere, generous backing. The United States,| as in previous occasions, with Hungarians or any other nationality victims of persecution, has been lavish in a great manner, for those who are looking up to this democratic nation for asylum. The gesture of the Latin American countries will surely be acknowledged with gratitude by the noble Hungarian people who, with exemplary heroism faced the communist tyranny. On the other hand, the flow of those refugees will be extremely beneficial for the Latin American nations, that are really in need of hearty and hale immigration. CHARTER OF THE ORGANIZATION OF AMERICAN STATES ARTICLE 109 The present Charter shall enter into force among the ratifying | States when two-thirds of the signatory States have deposited their ratifications. It shall enter into force with respect to the remaining} Mates in the order in which they deposit their ratifications. ARTICLE 110 The present Charter shall be registered with the Secretariat of the| United Nations through the Pan American Union. ARTICLE 111 Amendments to the present charter may be adopted only at an Inter-American Conference convened for that purpose. Amendments shall enter into force in accordance with the terms and the procedure set forth in Article 109. ARTICLE 11% The present Charter shall remain in force indefinitely, but may be denounced by any Member State upon written notification to the Pan American Union, which shall communicate to all the others each notice of denunciation received. After two years from the date on which the Pan American Union receives a notice of denunciation, the present Charter shall cease to be in force with- respect to the Southern District. Georgia’s U. S. District Attorneys are: James W. Dorsey, Northern District; Frank O. Evans, Middle District, and Wil- liam C, Calhoun, Southern District. Attorney General Herbert Brow- nell, Jr. has called this conference to “decide upon measures most ap- propriate to secure observance of the United States Constitution and | laws by carriers and all others who |may hereinafter requiere segrega- | tion of white and colored passen- gers on common carriers.” Other states to be represented are: Alabama, Arkansas, Kentucky, Louisiana; Maryland, Mississippi, North Carolina, Oklahoma, South | California, Tennessee, Teaxs and Virginia. Some southern Congressman here think this is the beginning of | a new “crack down” policy of the Justice Department. The elections are over now. The South’ local situation doesn’t matter any more. | The negro block vote is more im- portant — and hard fisted tactics are the best way to nail this vote down for the Republican party. They point to the fact that the conference has been called just a month after the elections. They al- so point to the strong crack down type language used by Attorney General Brownell who said that any state, county, or city law re- quiring segregation on busses “must be regarded as a dead let- ter.” In his letter to the attorneys, Brownell says, “I am informed that in your district there are unrepeal- ed state statutes or local ordinan- ces or other regulations requiring segregation of the white and color- ed races on common carriers of passengers. I am calling a confer- ence in the Department of Justice in Washington of the United States Attorneys from all districts in which discriminatory state or local laws of this kind are unrepealed. The purpose of the conference will be to consider and decide upon those measures most appropriate for the Department of Justice to take to secure observance of the United States Constitution and Jaws by the carriers and all others.” Brownell said in his letter to the District Attorneys, “It is also clear that the enforcement or obser- vance of any such discriminatory | measure by any common carrier of passengers will constitute in the future and in the light of the un- mistakable declaration of the Fed- eral courts a wilful deprivation by the carrier of the constitutional rights, privileges and immunieties of those discriminated against and a crime against the United States. Anyone who commands, induces, procures, counsels, aids or abets the carrier in the commission of any such crime is equally guilty.” The conference, as they call it, is to be a “work-shop” to figure how a better understanding 1956 (Photo Carlo A. Maggi) WASHINGTON, Dec. 1—(UP)— The Venezuelan Minister of For- eign Relations, José Loreto Aris- mendi, warned that the security of the, Western Hemisphere cannot be achieved until the 21 Republics share in its prosperity. Speaking in an extraordinary session held in his honor by the Council of the Organization of American States (OAS), Arismen- di said the Venezuelan Government is convinced that “prosperity and well-being of a few nations is not sufficient for the security and strength of America, and it is ur- gent that tih prosperity and well- being be extended.” Council President Fernando Lo- RIVERA’S DAUGHTER ARREST IS ORDERED MEXICO, Dec. 1—(UP)— A Federal District Judge issued a warrant for the arrest of famous Mexican muralist Diego Rivera’s daughter, who - is charged with homicide as result of an automobile accident.

The warrant, issued by Judge Su- lo Gelio Lara Eroza, of the Sixth Penal Tribunal of the Federal Dis- trict, orders that the accussed wom- an be arrested and immediately in- terned at the District Penitentiary. to mullify all of these various | state laws. In effect this is going | to be a law class where each U. | S. Attorney is instructed how to tear down the local law. To be sure each “student” is prepared for his job, he was told by Mr. Brownell: “It will be helpful if you will bring to the conference the text of any such discriminatory law, ordinance or regulation that has been enacted in your district.” Keep your eye on this “confer- ence” — December 10th.

Castro has vowed that he and his | followers will overthrow the gov- ernment of President Fulgencio Ba- tista before tne end of the year or “perish, in the attempt.” The return of the young rebel leader from exile in México over- shadowed Friday’s violence in which at least 25 persons were kill- ed or wounded.

In a signed statement to the United Press, Castro Ruz called on “all democratic peoples of the con- tinent” to back the “Cuban people in their heroic struggle.” He said he had decided to carry out his promise of liberty or death in 1956, despite recent cap- tures of rebel arms through de- nouncements of “traitors” because of the “imminent threat” of agres- sion against Cuba by Dominican strongman Rafael Trujillo. In México Castro Ruz had fre- quently emphasized that the “26 of July” movement is equally ene- my of Batista and Trujillo. His manifesto said the ‘point purpose of the uprising is “to im- mediately initiate the struggle to eliminate internal tyranny, and save the nation from the even greater danger of foreign tyranny.” He sdid “the wounded dignity of our people is screaming” for “speed and energy” in attaining these goals. “With feet placed on the sacred soil of the fatherland,” Castro Ruz said, “with the satisfaction of hav- ing fulfilled a promise, rifle on the shoulder and the unbreakable will to fight to the last combatant or until we deliver to our people the rights that have been torn down by tyranny, we announce to the people that we have arrived and that the fight to the death between despotism and the soldiers of liber- ty has begun.” f In an appeal to “our misled , brothers” in the Cuban army, Cas- tro Ruz said the revolutionaries wished to “extend the arm of liber. ty with pity and forgiveness to all who have not soiled their hands with the blood of their brothers or | reverted to torture, whatever else he their weaknesses or misguid- ings.”
