To exalt the merits of the Great Cuban, is a duty not only of his countrymen, but also of all those in the world who pay homage to the great leaders in the struggles for freedom, the builders of nations, to those who consecrated their lives to the cause of Independence. José Marti was one of those extraordinary men humanity produces from time to time. Difficult it is to find a personality as his, so versatile, so brilliant in multiple fields. The man whose privileged in- telligence and select spirit was able to conquer magnificent heights in prose and in verse, also learned about the unmercifulness of the mountains during armed struggles, to.meet a hero’s death in combat at Dos Rios. The Cuban people have in Marti an unmatched example of civic dignity. In the doctrine of the Apostle are all the teachings that, if followed with the respect and the zeal they deserve, may lead Cuba, by paths of achievement, to complete success. ’ “Any country in the world, but in particular the Latin American nations, have in the message of Marti, when correctly interpreted in its noble inten- tions, the key to victory, to achieve political freedom, social wellbeing and cultural and economic progress. _ If anybody wishes to Fatherland, it would be have a wide vision of the very difficult to find a better source of inspiration that Marti’s gallant proclamations, in which he defines with spiritual emotion, with ideological depth, with love without frontiers, the concept of the Fatherland. The citizen who profoundly love the land in which he was born, feels himself fully interpreted in Marti’s words, born of his generous heart and his enlightened intelligence. THE AMERICAS DAILY cordially congratules, today, all Cubans residing in Miami, for Monday’s anniversary as well as for-the zminently significative and just manner in which tie Circulo Cubano of this city will render tributz, in an act of culture and patriotism, to the ouistanding man who con- secrated his very valuable life to the cause of free- dom and happiness of his people. Kubitschek’s Strong Action Decided Signature of Brazil-USA Agreement RIO DE JANEIRO (UP)—Pre- sident Juscelino Kubitschek exert- ed the full power and prestige of his office to put through an agree- ment authorizing the United States to set up a guided missile tracking station on Fernando de Noronha Island. The rapid climax leading to the final exchange of notes by the United States and Brazil after a long deadlock in the negotiations was seen as another demonstration of Kubitscheck’s readiness to throw his political strength in support of his program. The negotiations with the Unit- ed States were virtually deadlock- MEXICANS SEARCH FOR SUSPECT ON PRIEST’S MURDER MATAMOROS, México. (UP) — Officers stepped up a search along the Rio Grande for the suspected murderer of a Catholic priest after finding the suspect’s son in a farm colony near Matamoros. The man, an ex wrestler who goes under the names of Pancho Valentino and José Francisco Vas- quez, is wanted for questioning in the fatal robbery-beating of father Juan Fullana Taberner in México City two weeks ago. The suspect’s six-year-old son had been living at the Agrarian Colony for less than a week when officers discovered him. The boy was reported to have accompanied his father on his escape from Mé- xico City. Officers were searching for him here and across the border in Brownsville, Tex., as he is known to have several frineds along the border. The priest's attacker got away with less than $250. Rumors had persisted in México City that the priest had hidden a fortune some- where to finance construction of @ new church, ed because some elements in Ku- bitschek’s government saw a gold- en opportunity to get additional United States economic aid. Their requests would have totalled about $500 million. Leading Government spokesmen including Foreign Minister José Carlos de Macedo Soares and others, sought to justify this think- ing on the grounds that the track- For a better understanding between the Americas MIAMI SPRINGS, FLA., SUNDAY, JANUARY 27, 1957 WIN PENDLETON UPCOMING FIREWORKS Senator Holland is on the war path over the steady rise in the price of fuel oil since the Middle East crisis. He has asked for a full scale investigation of the fuel oil industry to make sure they aren’t taking advantage of the news stor- ies to hike their prices unnecessar- ily. Florida’s electric power, indus- trial power, and home heating, is about 90 per cent dependent on fuel oil imports. His idea is to stop profiteering. He is sure there is plenty of oil in Texas. Wants to prevent Florida buyers from being gouged. MONEY FOR FLORIDA — The new budget is 1165 pages thick. But, in it are these Public Works items for Florida: Intracoastal Wa- terway. (East Coast) $1,150,000. St. Augustine Harbor, $600,000. Tampa Harbor, $2,250,000; Cen- tral and Southern Florida Flood Control, $5,500,000. PROFITABLE TRIP — Here last week for help from Congress- man Bob Sikes were Wallace Shel- fer, State Representative for Flori- da on the National Rural Electric Association and Leon Weaver, Manager of the Talquin Electric Cooperative, both of Quincy. When they left town they had a loan for $1,450,000 to build 175 miles of additional distribution line in West Florida, bringing electric service to 1137 new consumers. WHAT HAPPENED? — When the House committee assignments were finally made, the name of Bill Cramer, Florida’s lone Repub- lican, turned up on two major committees. The only Republican in the House to be so placed. He’s on Public Works and Judiciary. Looks like he is still the darling of the Republican party. WATER CONSERVATION DIS- TRICT — Congressman Jim Haley is behind a move to organize a new Flood Control District on Florida’s West Coast. The area would cover the watersheds of four rivers which tise in Polk County; the Alafia, the Manatee, the Peace and the Myak- ka, First step is getting the Florida State Legislature to set up the District, Haley says, then Federal aid can be sought. YOU TOO, JUDGE — Congress- man Billy Matthews has asked the Congress to set up rules limiting the political activity of members of the Supreme Court. He thinks they shouldn’t be permitted to run for public office within two years after leaving the Court and while they are still members they should he subject to the Hatch Act. ROAD PLAN — Three Florida Congressmen have banded togeth- er to get some additional road money. Their proposal would make the road from Tampa to Miami a part of the National Highway and Defense system This would mean that Florida would get a bigger cut out of that 101 billion dollar road building fund. The three men working on it are: Congressmen 3im Haley, Dante Fascell, and Paul ing station on Brazilian territory | Rogers. Before it’s over the whole would increase the chances of Bra- zil being a major target in case of a third world war. Macedo Soares cited the recent remarks of Secretary of State John Foster Dulles about the nearness of a third world war. But to these ideas, United States negotiators replied simply, “we need the installation badly, but we are not going to ‘buy’ the island.” At this point, Kubitschek was said to have grabbed the reins and within three days the final docu- ments had been signed, climaxing more than one year of negotia- tions. After receiving word from both U. S. officials here and from the Brazilian Ambassador in Washing- ton concerning the firmness of the U. S._ position, Kubitschek sum- moned an emergency session of the National Security Council. When the meeting began, the President explained what he had learned and told the council he wanted immediate approval of the deal. Within one hour atfer the meeting convened; Kubitschek had the Council’s unanimous approval. Persons who knew what transpir- ed at the meeting said Kubitschek told the Council he would not stand for failure of the agreement after everyone knew that he had thrown his full support behind it. To those who still could not for- get their ideas of a huge new U. S. loan, the President pointed out that the agreement would include a paragraph by which the United States recognized Brasil’s increas- ed responsibilities and would ex- amine the need for possible assist- delegation probably will be in on t. MORE ENGINEERS — Senator Smathers made national headlines with his proposal for training more scientists’ He has introduced a bill that would give: special scientific scholarships to children of vete- rans, The money would come from investing a part of the $575 mil- lion worth of confiscated enemy property now.held by the United States. The interest from this in- vestment would amount to several million a year which would be used for the scholarships. The fund amd the program would be administered by the National Science Foundation. The Senator points out that the plan wouldn’t require an appropriation by the Congress or establishing a new agency to run it. Practically free. It would ‘reward the children of veterans and be an answer to the Russian threat in the field of science and engineering. ance. The final agreement represents compromises on the part of both the United States and Brazil. Bra- zil accepted the set up without pa- per promises of anything beyond Interamerican defense coopera- tion, and the United States agreed to put the installations un- der the Brazilian flag and com- mand, to train Brazilian technic- ians in the operation of the station so that they may replace American technicians, to shoulder, full con- struction costs, to turn over the installations to Brazil at the con- clusion of the agreement, and to accept a five-year term instead of the 20 years originally requested.
