Mexican Workers WASHINGTON )up)— The United States Government has es- timated that 490,000 Mexican farm laborers will be recruited in fiscal 1958 to work in the United States.

The President of the Republic, Lieutenant General Gustavo Rojas Pinilla, authorized the re-appari- tion of “El Tiempo,” which was elosed by his orders. The Presi- dential authorization was granted about the middle of last year. At the time, the President was inform- Not be Published ed that “El Tiempo” would not be published under its own name un- til the political circumstances were modified and the regime of censor- ship would come to an end. Santos Montejo answered a re- cent letter, in which the Minister of Government reiterated the at- titude of President Rojas Pinilla, saying that the reasons previously given still stand. He added that, on the other hand, “Intermedio” is a different newspaper, founded by the “Casa Editorial El Tiempo, Ltd.” and under the management of another Editor, Pope Pius Praises Mexican University VATICAN CITY, Jan. 18 (UP) Pope Pius XII praised the new Tbero-American University of Mé- xico, affirming that it is an “Ex- emplary Human Symbol” of Inter- national collaboration, in a mo- ment “in which human society suf- fers so much on account of divi- sions and discord.” The Holy Father made this de- claration during an audienk, granted to a group of university students, among which there were some Latin Americans, The Holy Father declared that the international character of the University is ‘“‘a reminder of the fact that all men are brothers, children of the same father.” The Holy Father said, in part: “A small group of beloved child- ren, professors and students of the Ibero-American University of Mé- xico, is the one that, in this mo- ment, appear before our eyes; but it is a group which significance is, on the other hand, so ample, that we did not want to let the oppor- tunity of addressing them, to tell them of our affection and our in- terest for what that represents, pass by. For a better understanding between the Americas MIAMI SPRINGS, FLA., SATURDAY, JANUARY 19, 1957 Re-Establish Relations, N KNOW THY NEIGHBOR By ANTONIO RUIZ CUBA — The Ruston Academy, in Havana, is a coeducational pri- vate school founded by Hiram and Martha Ruston in September, 1920 for the purpose of preparing North American students for colleges in the, United States, but after a short time, the program of studies in- cluded all grades. At first, the maj- ority of students were North Ame- ricans; but as years passed, the number of Cubans steadily increas- ed. During the early thirties, when the official secondary schools were closed, this academy gave. especial- ly valuable aid to the Cuban com- munity. The services of the Academy to Cubans were increased first by the opening of a bilinguae commer- cial department in 1930, and was made more complete by the addi- tion of a “bachillerato” depart- ment in 1938. From the modest beginning it had in 1920, with three students and three teachers, the Academy has grown slowly to its present status of 680 students and 65 teachers. Mr. Ruston, the founder, was an unusual educator. His vision, educational. philosophy, and faith in youth, produced ex- ceptional traditions for an indivi- dual-centered school which places emphasis upon the balanced de- velopment of personality, charact- er, and ideals, as well as upon in- tellectual and cultural develop- ment, In 1940, Mr. Ruston died and Mr. James Baker became head of the school. In 1950 he changed the Academy from a privately owned institution to a nonprofit founda- tion and turnef the school over to a board of directors composed of North Americans and Cubans. At that time the school was housed in seven rented houses that had been adapted for classrooms. Shortly after the establishment of the Rus- ton-Baker Foundation, plans for a fund-raising campaign were begun in order to raise money for a new plant. A nine-acre plot of land was purchased in “Alturas del Country Club,” the finest residential sec- tion of the city. The new building has four wings, two of which are used for the Low- er School and two for the Upper School. The spacious classrooms are planned to provide maximum benefits of cross-ventilation, natur- al lighting, as well as a flexible academic program, In the Lower School, each grade has its own covered terrace and garden adjoin- ing the classroom. The ample play- grounds and sports fields make possible a full program of games and sports for students of all levels. A full program is offered by Ruston Academy from kindergar- ten through high school, with com- plete bilingual study at all levels. In the Lower School, grades one | through six, all children study the same program. Aproximately one third of the time is devoted to Spanish and two thirds to English. Classes in Spanish cover reading, composition and grammar, as well as the history and geography of Cuba and of Latin America. All other subjects are studied in Eng- iets and follow the programs of irst class private schools in the United States. Ruston Academy, according to the directors, works in the belief that one of the greatest responsi- bilities of a school today is to pre- pare youth to become mature in- telligent, active citizens in a de- mocracy. In order to achieve this enr, the school places major emphasis upon the development of character, self-discipline, and a sense of responsibility, encourag- ing students to think for them- selves, to evaluate, and to make decisions, One of the outstanding features of the school is that thirty-six years of experience have shown that the association of several hun- dred Cuban and North American youths and representatives of from ten to fifteen nationalities, all working for the same objectives and of necessity cooperating in ‘their work, is in no small way con- tributing to the understanding and good will, now so earnestly sought, among the Americas, ac- cording to Mr. James D, Baker, Director, ) Spanish Version Page 3 Nicaragua and Costa Rica Diplomatic ame Envoys SAN JOSE, Costa Rica — Jan. 18 (UP)— With the announcement that Costa Rica and Nicaragua have accorded to appoint ambas- | sadors to their respective capitals, the tension existing for a long time between the two countries was officially ended. José Miguel Rodriguez Villarreal was appointed Ambassador in Ma- nagua, and Nicaragua appointed Dr. Leonte Herdocia as Ambassa- dor in San José. The re-establishment of normal relations between the two states follows the good offices of the Se- cretary General of the Organiza- tion of Central American States, Guillermo Trabanino, last Decem- ber, after which the two countries agreed to bury their old differen- ces and re-establish regular diplo- matic relations. Costa Rica and Nicaragua have maintained their differences for almost a decade, in part because of ideological differences between the two governments, and in part because the political asylum grant: to persons of both countries. At the end of 1949, penetration of armed groups in Costa Rica from Nicaraguan territory was report- ed. Hostilities were brief, thanks to the rapid and effective interven- ed to persons of both countries. rican States. Again in April of 1955, a Ni- caraguan motorized detachment advanced toward the border, aft- er the late President Anastasio So- moza charged that plotters, sup- ported by President José Figueres of Costa Rica, had tried to murder him and members of his family. Once more, intervention of the OAS prevented an open fight, aft- er some small encounters at the border and air incursions of little importance. BRAZIL TO REQUEST $500 MILLION AID IN EXCHANGE FOR BASE RIO DE JANEIRO, Jan. 18 (UP) | — Brazil will ask the United Sates for $500-million economic aid in return for permission to build a/ guided missile observation post on Brazil’s Fernando de Noronha Is- land, the newspaper Diario Cario- ca said today.

SAN JUAN, Puerto Rico (UP) — Governor Luis Miioz Marin de- clared that the association be- tween the island and the United States must be permanent. The Governor added in a mes- sage to Congress that the idea of the association, as it develops in practice, will not consist in loose- ning the bonds uniting the Com- monwealth with the United States, put “to deepen mutual understand- ing.” “Mufioz Marin said also that the union among free citizens is stronger when a group (United States) “exercises less power over another group” (Puerto Rico). “No American feels aversion to- ward the increase in freedom — he said — and we are not the ex- ception.” IAPA Rewests! Ten Killed in Cuba in Clash Between Army-Navy Patrol and Rebel Forces Member Inter American Press Association For Liberty, Culture and Hemispheric Solidarity NUMBER 159 Skirmish Took Place in La Plata Oriente Prov., Thursday Morning HAVANA, Jan. 18 (UP) — At four o’clock A. M. today, the Army announced that yesterday Thursday — morning a mixed pa- trol, made out of forces of the Army and the Navy, under com- mand of a sargent, exchanged fire with a group of rebels in a place known as La Plata, in Oriente Pro- vince, killing eight of them. The communiqué, issued by Ma- jor Policarpo Chaviano, Chief of the Army Press and Radio Bu- reau, adds that the government forces suffered five casualties, two killed and three wounded. Faced with a rising tide of ter- rorism sponsored by some of its political enemies and aitled and abetted by the underground com- munist movement, the government has suspended constitutional guar- antees and clamped on censorship. The breath and extent of the terrorist movement now underway, apparently forced the authorities into a position where they feel that only a completely free hand to deal with the terrorists can stem the wave of revolutionary-inspired in- cendiarism and bombings of the past six weeks. So far, the terrorist campaign has cost nearly 70 lives and in- juries to more than 20 others. The suspension of constitution- al guarantees, a modified form of martial law, temporarily eliminates such personal privileges as freedom of speech, of the press and of as- | the inviolability of correspondence and the writ of habeas corpus are also suspended. Censors from the Ministry of Interior were assigned to news- paper offices and censors from the Ministry of Communications were sent to radio stations. The government said constitu- tional guarantees will be suspend- ed for a maximum of 45 days. Recent acts of terrorism have not been of major imtortance in- dividually, but the indiscriminate planting of bombs, the use of \so- called Molotov cocktails, and other sabotage have had some effect on the national economy. In Oriente Province business has practically come to a halt in the principal cities, with the populace seeking the safety of their homes by nightfall. The same has been true to a cer- tain extent in Havana, where movie houses, night clubs and other cen- ters of night life have started t feel the pinch. ' ITALIAN YOUNG WIVES LEAVE FOR VENEZUELA GENOA, Italy (UP)— Five young Italian women married by proxy to Italian workers living in Venezuela were on their way to join ‘their husbands today.

The Governor also said in his message to the legislators that he was concerned with the fact that agriculture has not advanced in the island as much as industry, and promised to end the discord among the different agricultural agencies and to find a way to grant great- er credit facilities to farmers. Mujfioz Marin advocated mech- anization of agriculture, but .he added that it should not take place without helping those who lose their jobs on account of it. He said that industry had a great a- vance in 1956. “In that year — he said — they increased 17 per cent in the net income, compared to 1955. He added that the condition of José Maria Renteria, Gonzalez’ helper, but further on he was beat- en by Gonzélez who then, took the wheel. The police reported that the three vehicles were heavily dam- ‘aged and that it was miraculous that all the occupants did not die. BRITONS COMPLAIN ABOUT ARGENTINE BEEF IMPORTS LONDON (UP)— Despite the post-war record shipment of chill- ed beef from Argentina to Britain during 1956, the weight of beef and veal distributed from Smith- field Market, Britain’s leading meat market, last year from for- eign sources was still well below the pre-war figure. Figures compiled by the clerk and--superintendent of Smithfield market, show that the total quanti- ty of beef and veal pitched during 1956 was 219,62 tons, 48,262 tons more than in 1955 but 21,348 tons below 1938.

The Governor added he was in favor of putting an end to the tra- ditional Puerto Rican practice of making public employes contribute to political campaigns. He announced that in midyear a television station owned by the Goverment will. be transmitting educational programs only, with+ out commercials and without pd- litical influence. Senator Miguel Angel* Garcia, President of the Statehood Party (which advocates granting to Puerto Rico the status of State of the Union) praised Mufioz Marin’s message, but expressed doubt that the present association between the island and the Union can he irrevocable. .
