DITORIAL HOMAGE TO THE MARTYRS OF CUBAN INDEPENDENCE With patriotic veneration, the Cuban people commemorated yesterday, December 7, the anniver- sary of the death in combat of Antonio Maceo, hero of the Cuban war of independence. On the anniversary of the death of General Maceo—the Bronze Giant—the Cuban people pay homage of gratitude and admiration to all those who fell in the struggle for freedom and indepen- dence of the Fatherland. The devotion of the whole population is poured, with respect and great feeling, before the tomb of Maceo, in which tribute is paid to the Republic and the merits of the great general | are exalted, as well as those of his companions who encountered death in the defense of national in- dependence. The history of the war of independence of Cuba is full of impressive episodes which perhaps have not | been divulged in a proper manner, as merit their political transcendence and acts of heroism. The great leaders of the independence movement in Cuba are not only an authentic glory to their Fatherland, but to all America. Those illustrious men, those clear minded citizens who gave their lives for the conquest of an ideal, should be known in all of the Americas, because their achievements are part of the moral greatness of our Continent. Antonio Maceo, as a general and as a citizen,| figures among the most outstanding values in the Latin American nations, The war of independence in Cuba demanded great sacrifices from the patriots before victory was achieved. Maceo gave his military skill and his conscience of honest man to that beautiful and noble ideal of Cuban indepen- dence. The Cuban patriots had to face powerful armies of the Metropolis. The geographical situation of the country made the campaign of many years dif- ficult. Those battles were explosions of grape shot in a great scale; loss of life in immense proportions. And all this, which was heroism and feeling for the Fatherland, was remembered yesterday in the Pearl of the Antilles, when the generous Cuban people, emotioned by the memories and gratefully inspired, consecrated in homage of respectful gra- titude the memory of all the martyrs and exalted the magnificent personality of Antonio Maceo, the) heroic General who, with his sword, traced the road of dignity and glory for his people. Brazil fo Contract Huge Purchase of Surplus Wheat From the U. S. A. RIO DE JANEIRO, Dec. 7 — (UP)— President Juscelino Ku- bitschek sent instructions to the Brazilian Embassy in Washington) to sign the accord with United States, by which this country will supply Brazil with part of the wheat needed by the latter. | Brazil will receive 1,800,000 tons) of the United States wheat surplus, | at a price that’will be set later. | The official announcement is-| sued here says that the accord will make possible the establish- ment of a fund in Cruzeiros, which will be dedicated to projects of local developments. The fund will be on deposit at the National Bank | for Economic Development. The wheat bought through this accord will be paid in a term of 40 years. The accord, the government in- formed, will not interfere with the 1957 wheat plans, which look upon acquisition of 580,000 tons in the)! United States, 1,200,000 in Argen- tina, 300,000 in Uruguay and 50,000 in the international market, besides encouraging local production to ob- tain about 800,000 tons for do- mestic consumption. BIGGEST SURPLUS DEAL WITH LATIN AMERICA WASHINGTON —(UP)— U. S. officials have predicted that an| agreement by Brazil to purchase 1.8 million tons of surplus Amer- ican wheat —in what may prove to be the biggest surplus deal yet concluded with a Latin American nation —will be signed next week. The transfer of the wheat to Brazil over a three-year period, they said, will be carried out under U. S. Public Law 480, covering surplus food products. The Com- modity Credit Corporation of the U. S. Department of Agriculture | will handle the financial angle. CUBANS MAY ENTER OR LEAVE FREELY IN THEIR COUNTRY Regarding a rumor which has circulated among certain elements of the Cuban colony in Miami, that special author- ization is needed. by Cuban citizens to return to their country, the Hon. Eduardo Hernandez, Consul General of Cuba, has informed us that definitely “no visa nor special authorization is required by Cubans to visit or return to their country. In other werds—said Consul Hernan- dex— Cuban citizens can freely enter and leave Cuba as they wish.” A Brazilian Embassy spokesman said the Foreign Ministry in Rio was informed over the week-end of the completion of the last details| of the agreement. A U. S. official, however, said “only a verbal agree- ment has been reached.” The U. S. official said Under- secretary of State for Latin Amer- ican affairs Roy R. Rubottom, Jr., and Brazilian Ambassador Ernani |Do Amaral Peixoto would “prob- |ably” sign the agreement “when | the time is ripe.” Surplus negotiations are usually \earried out in the capital of the ‘foreign country involved, but this time Brazil asked that negotiations be carried on here.

Thus, in- dustry and agriculture complement- ed each other, making of Sao Paulo one of the greatest human accom- lishments of the 20th Century.

S. requirement that Brazil purchase at least 120,000 tons of wheat a year above the 1.8 million tons in the agreement. Of this total, at least 70,000 tons had to be bought from the United States. The first request by the United | States, the official said, is intended to avoid disruption of the “normal pattern of trade.’ The second arose from the fact that the United States has not supplied Brazil ‘with wheat for the past 20 years. The official said Brazil insisted on being allowed to buy its wheat where it chose, which in the past has been mostly Argentina and Uruguay. | The United States pointed out, the official.said, that U.

A communique issued this morn- ing by the Government says that after the aerial attack, Cuban arm- ed forces advanced on the area finding the rebel casualties, Major Juan Gonzalez, who com- mands the government forces in the Niquero area, asked yesterday for the aerial support to ‘mop up the revolutionary contingent that landed in Cuba last Sunday. The number of dead in yester- day’s skirmish between the revo- lutionaries and the government sol- diers, in the Niquero-Manzanillo zone, until last night, numbered more than 20, according to- figures given out by the government, which says the number is “between 15. and 20”. An official at the Government Palace declared, after the confer- ence between President Fulgencio Batista and the Chiefs of the Army and National Police, that the army casualties were one dead and two wounded. The official declared he was unable to give the exact number |of the rebels killed and the names jof anyone. COSTA RICAN GOVT. DENIES RUMORS SAN JOSE, Costa Rica, Dec. 7— (UP)—The government denied the rumors that Cuban revolutionaries left from this country to participate in Cuba’s rebellion. Minister of Public Security, Fer- nando Valverde, declared to the United Press: “The government emphatically denies that the Carib- bean Legionaires sailed from Cos- ta Rican ports for Cuba or any other country. “We understand that these news are spread to create bad feelings between nations. “The government has continuous- ly under. surveillance all the polit- ical exiles residing in this country, and never had found even a sus- picious movement of revolution against any country.” On the other hand, the manage- ment of the Air Line LACSA re- jected rumors of having transport- ed Cuban rebels. They say that LACSA is a commercial company and limits its activities to sell trav- elling tickets to anyone having correct documentation and pass- port, duly visaed.

One of those arrested is Carlos Vega, of whom it is said to be one of the most active supporters of ex President Carlos Prio Socarrs. Authorities declared that Vega is the head here of the group of Prio’s supporters. Immigration agents also arrest- ed a group of Cuban members of the organization “26 of July”, head- ed by Fidel Castro Ruz, who is considered head of the revolt in Cuba, in view of his mysterious departure for Cuba onboard the yacht Grama. Authorities refuse to specify the number of Cubans arrested, but it is estimated that at least forty were jailed during the raids “against the Cubans for serious violation of the immigration laws.” GUIDED MISSILE GOES TO BRAZIL “WASHINGTON — (UP) — A guided intercontinental missile that escaped control after being fired from Florida was reported missing, possibly in the Brazilian jungles. Air Force officials said the 600. mile an hour missile —named the |\Snark and designed as a nuclear weapon presumably did not carry.a warhead of any kind. * The missing Snark was test- fired Wednesday from the joint Defense Department-Air Force test center at Patrick Air Force Base at Cocoa, Fla. DESTINATION UNKNOWN The Defense Department issued a brief statement announcing that the missile escaped from control at its “scheduled turn-around point and proceeded to a destination yet unknown”, “We don’t know where it is,” a Pentagon spokesman said. He said he could not confirm or deny published reports that the Snark was seen flashing over the Brazilian jungles 2,000 miles from its base. However, he said the missile presumably has crashed either in the ocean or some remote land area and Brazil was a good pos- sibility.

These officials, however, emphasized that nothing is yet definite. A high Brazilian naval official who refused to permit the use of his name, said the situation has reached the stage where it is pos- sible that Brazil will buy the air- craft carrier since such would na- turally increase the effectiveness of the Brazilian fleet. Buy and Use Christmas Seals Over as Army's Controls Haiti The rapid developments climaxed several weeks of political tension over who would rule the country between the end of Magloire’s pre- sidential term and the inauguration of a new president to be elected next April. Magloire was elected by popular vote in Oct. 1950 for a six year |term. He took over from.a Mili- |tary Junta in December of that year instead of waiting to begin |his term the following April. A law passed by the Magloire- controlled Congress to permit him to remain in office until the April 1957 elections was challenged by his political opponents. Yesterday, the sixth anniversary of his inauguration, Magloire re- signed in what was described as a “democratic gesture towards the opposition.” Magloire told a nationwide radio audience that since his successor had not yet been elected, the Con- stitution provided the Government should be taken over by a three- man provisional Junta consisting of the President, Vice President and oldest: justice of the Supreme Court. Magloire said all three refused to accept the mandate and that he called..on_the Army to take the power, Gen. Antoine Levelt, Army Chief of Staff, immediately called on Ma- gloire to assume full control of the army. Magloire was a General before his election.
