EDITORIAL so eens SR at REDE A ORSAY GLORIOUS ANNIVERSARY FOR THE CUBAN PEOPLE Today, February 24, the people of Cuba com-) memorate the historic “Grito de Baire” of 1895, which iniciated the last emancipation movement and culminated, years later and after bitter armed struggle, with the proclamation of independence by that generous Antillian people. é A miracle of Marti was to unite all the different tendencies which in Cuba were engaged in the struggle for freedom, With his apostolic word, with his enlightened mind, the illustrious patriarch pointed out to all his fellow citizens the only road which could lead them to complete-realization of the republican ideal: the road of unity. And under the auspices of such noble feelings, having all of them in mind the sacred image of the Fatherland, the re- volution with its high cost in blood and suffering for the Cuban people, was started. Because freedom— as an illustrious American thinker stated—“cannot be begged for with tears, but bought with blood. The 24 of February is a date of special signifi- cance for the city of Miami, since it has an immense Cuban colony, which constitutes a factor of great importance for the cultural and economic develop- ment of this flourishing Floridian metropolis. Cubans, or those of Cuban origin living in Miami, but with bonds uniting them to the island which is the Pearl of the Antilles, of necessity will have to meditate, as do their fellow citizens in their country, on the symbolic greatness of this anniver- sary, in the same way they have to give deep thought to the meaning of Fatherland and the efforts that | should be made, constantly, to dignify and exalt it, THE AMERICAS DAILY extends its cordial greetings, on this occasion, to all Cubans residing in Miami and offers reiterated homage of admiration and respect to the noble Cuban Fatherland and to the exalted heroes who, with their talent and sacri- fices, carved in the rock of the nation, its destiny as a Republic. COMMUNISM AND THE FAMILY CONCEPT Perhaps nothing could cause more damage to communism, among people who know how to reason and feel, that the divulgation of the communist eoncept of the home and of the family. Due to lack of adequate popular divulgation of themes of such nature, there are persons without much of an education, but with a great deal of common sense, who do not have opportunity to declare themselves more categorically, against com- munism, because they are ignorant of the fundamen- tal aspects of its materialistic philosophy, which openly and cruelly, denies. the values of the sprit the rights of the home, in synthesis, the human dignity. Programs of permanent divulgation of these aspects of communism would be of great effect, of annihilating effect, against the work developed by agents of the Soviet imperialism in favor of the political doctrine which has given origin to the government system reigning in Russia and the Moscow satellites countries. Peron May go to Italian Attorney Reports in Milan MILAN, Italy, Feb. 23 (UP)— Former Argentine dictator Juan D. Perén may come to Italy next spring for an extended stay, Ital- jan attorney Ugo Longinotti said today. Longinotti is attorney for Dr. Bruno Severo Vailati, a coffee im- partes and personal friend of Pe- Ton. FOOD PRODUCTION IN PERU LIMA, Pera (UP)— A cabinet council headed by President Ma- fuel Prado has approved,the crea- tion of a national foodstuffs corp- oration to look after all matters concerning food production and distribution. Creation of the corporation re- , flected the government’s determin- ‘cost, A protracted drought ation to solve the complex problem of assuring adequate nourishment for the population at reasonable in tarming sections of southern Peri | agravated the problem con- ideably in recent months. The new corporation will take over after March 1 the adminis- tration of the national packing house which is to be placed’ under government control as of that date. Italy Next Spring He said negotiations are being made to buy or rent a 20-room vil- la near Bellagio, a 4,000 inhabit- ant resort center on Lake Como where German Chancellor Konrad Adenauer will arrive next Monday for a three-week vacation. “Perén might come to Italy sev- eral weeks after Adenauer’s return home, Longinotti said. Perén, now in Venezuela, was quoted by the Caracas magazine “Elite” this week as saying “for the past two years a castle and a speed boat have been waiting for me at Lake Como, Italy, which friends offered to me.” Longinotti said he was looking around to buy “some fast speed boat in connection with the per- sons who will stay in the villa”. First rumors that Perén might visit Italy developed in October 19- 55 when Longinotti’s employer, Vailati, confirmed the former Argentine dictator was considering a trip to Europe. Vailati told United Press last night that a group of Italian in- dustrialists and businessmen had offered Perén a villa on Lake Co- mo or Lake Maggiore shortly after he was ousted from Argentina. For Board is a for Freedom WASHINGTON, Feb. 23 (UP)— Colonel Rafael Andrade, Com- mander in Chief of the Ecuadorean WIN PENDLETON THEY SAY IT WORKS — There is a new way to eradicate the dread screw-worm that destroys millions of dollars worth of beef cattle in this country every. year. The Department of Agriculture de- veloped it after extensive experi- ments in Curacao, The plan is to breed sterile male flies and turn them loose. They then mate with normal female flies with negative results. Nothing happens. In the end, the race dies out. The Florida Cattlemen’s Association, with the help of Senator Holland, is urging that the Department of Agriculture start immediately to put this sy- stem to work in Florida. Senator Holland wants the Department to start at once — to help prevent the usual wide-spread infestations that come during the ‘hot summer months. OLD HARRY IS BACK — Form- er President Harry Truman is back at his favorite vacation spot — Key West. He will be guest of honor there at a big Democratic shin-dig on February 23rd. Pro- ceeds will go to his Memorial Li- brary. The city is planning to roll out the red carpet for the man who made the Kew West Lit- tle White House famous and who was Key West’s most noted tourist while he was President. YANKEE INVASION — Have they all gone yet? We're talking about that wave of Republican big- wigs who just made a speaking tour through the State. When the Republican high conmand said the 1958 campaign had started, they weren’t kiding. Here is the list of headliners and where they spoke in Florida. Congressmen Charlie Halleck, Indiana, Miami; Bob Corbett, Pennsylvania, Ft. Lauderdale and Bradenton; Les Arends, Illinois, St. Petersburg; Secretary of Commerce, Sinclair Weeks, Jacksonville;White House Aide Robert Grey, Daytona Beach; Gabrial Hauge, economic advisor to President Eisenhower, West Palm Beach; and Assistant Secret- ary of the Treasury David W..Ken- dall, Clearwater. You don’t have to be an expert on Florida geography to understand their plans. If they have started this early you can be sure of hard congressional races in the fourth, fifth, and sixth districts next year. TO THE RESCUE — The Boy Scouts saved Congressman Billy Matthews, last week. They didn’t save his life, but they kept him from missing his plane. The Con- gressman had just made a person- al appearance at the Azalea Festi- val in Palatka. As usual, “Mr. Billy” got carried away with talking and hand-shaking and forgot about the time. When he finally departed, he was hard pressed to make his plane schedule to return to Wash- ington, He was a bit breathless when he reached the parking lot — only to find his car had a flat tire. That’s when three members of Scout Troop No. 62 stepped in and put him on the road in eight minu- tes flat. And without breaking the speed laws, according to the Con- gressman, he made the airport with five minutes to spare. FREE MEAL — When members of the Florida Congressional De- legation throw their annual press luncheon they always do it well. Menu: fruit cup, Maryland fried chicken, mashed potatoes and peas, lettuce and tomato salad and ice cream. No long speeches. “He- coon” Bob Sikes presided and Senator Holland delivered a five- minute “address” that made all the natives homesick. Congressmen Herlong, Fascell and Cramer were absent (in Florida). The press was out in full force. Also, B. Elliott, of Pahokee, former speaker of the House of Representitives of the Florida State Legislature was on hand as a special guest. So far as we know. the Florida Delegation is the only group on Capitol Hill that honors the news writers cover- ing their activites. We like it — look forward to it next year. Thanks, a better understanding Stronghold and Peace ECUADOREAN AIR FORCE CHIEF DECLARES Air Force, declared today that, with the Inter American Defense Board, the republics of the hemi- sphere have “a protective strong- hold for the revered principles of peace, unity and freedom.” Speaking during a special ses- sion of the Board in his honor, An- drade declared: “Your work is fruitful and it will continue to be so, because it is imperative for the survival of the human race. The ideals of Wash- ington, Bolivar, and San Martin have been realized since this hon- orable board was established, and toward it are looking all the men whose only ambition is to live and to work to enjoy the democratic conquests translated in freedom of expression, freedom to work and to worship; freedom to be able to live in peace, in other words.” The Ecuadorean chief, who is now Visiting this capital as a guest of the U. S. Air Force was greet- ed by the acting head of the Board, Lt: Gen. Julio Alberto La- gos, of Argentina. The actual Chief, Lt. Gen. Lemuel C, Shepherd is now in a tour of Central Ameri- ca.

Camilo Villamar and Rafael Valdés; Majors Jorge Salgado and José Avila; and Col. James C. Robinson, head of the U.S. Air Force Mission in Ecua- dor. Chiriboga offered a supper in honor of Andrade and U. S. Air Secretary Donald Quarles and his wife. At the Pan American building, where the supper was offered, the flags of the 21 American republics were displayed. More than 400 guests, members of military and diplomatic circles, attended. NICOLAS VELOZ DIES IN N. YORK NEW YORK, Feb. 28 (UP)— Nicolés Veloz, honorary Consul of Venezuela in New York, died here at the age of 76, after a short illness. Veloz has been a resident in New York for more than thirty years, was for many years Vice Consul of Venezuela, as well as Dean of the Vice Consuls in this city, later being promoted to Consul. When he retired from the con- sular service, a few years ago, the Venezuelan Government ap- pointed him Honorary Consul in New York. Veloz was also an sculptor of great merit and won several prizes in which sculptors of many countries participated. He had an studio in his residence in Brook- lyn. VENEZUELAN COURT REJECTS PETITION CARACAS ,Venezuela (UP)— A Venezuelan federal court rejected a petition from the Argentine Gov- ernment for the attachment of whatever assets ousted Argentine dictator Juan D. Perén may havé in this country. The petition was filed by the Argentine Embassy here. The court replied that no such attachment could be ordered unless actual leg- al proceedings are brought against Perén before the Venezuelan courts. Perén is believed to have in- vested considerable amounts in racing stables, rural real estate and other properties in Venezuela. PRICE FREEZE PLANN! BY ARGENTINE GOVT. BUENOS AIRES (UP)— _ In- formed sources report that the Government plans a virtual price freeze through a decree to be issu- ed later this month. It would forbid all employers from passing on wage increases to their prices to consumers and compel them to absorb the in- creased cost of production from profits. In reality the decree would be between the Americas MIAMI SPRINGS, FLA., SUNDAY, FEBRUARY 24, 1957 Inter American Defense | U: 5. Diplomat Returning To His Post in Ciudad Trujillo WASHINGTON, Feb. 28 (UP)— A U. S. diplomat returned to his post in the Dominican Republic to- day despite complaints in Ciudad Trujillo that he was offensively “skeptical” about Dominican in- vestigation of the disappearance of an American pilot. The State Department said in a brief announcement that Chargé d’ Affairs Richard H. Stephens had gone back to his job after “brief consultation” with officials: here concerning the disappearance of Gerald Lester Murphy of Eugene, Ore. Murphy has been missing in the Caribbean nation since Dec. 3. Life Magazine this week linked Murphy. with the case of Dr. Jestis de Ga- lindez, foe of the Trujillo dictator- ship, who disappeared from New York last March 12, Life said Galfndez was kidnap- ed and flown to the Dominican Re- public in a plane piloted by Mur- phy. The magazine said Murphy subsequently disappeared after talking “carelessly.” Stephens’ return indicated that the Dominican Government _ has not pressed complaints by Dom- inican Attorney General A. Beral that the U. S. diplomat had been “offensive” by voicing doubt of the efficiency of the Dominican invest- igation. Unesco Meeting Closes in Cuba HAVANA (Special to THE AMERICAS DAILY) — The First Meeting of the United Nations Educational Scientific and Cultur- al Organization Committee (UN ESCO) for extension of primary education in Latin America, which was being held in Havana, closed its sessions, and appointed as its Honorary President Dr. Zoila Mu- let, Minister of Education. Among the recommendations of the Meeting are: To stress the im- portance of the principal project, asking the International Or- ganims and member State, for wider diffusion to obtain their end; to ratify reccomendations of the Lima Conference and the Ninth of UNESCO, asking international cre- dit organizations to contribute to the financing of educational plans of countries soliciting same and that. the member States place na- tional credit to the service of the education; to accept the OAS pro- posal for an inquest of school con- struction in Latin America and to bring out the importance of dev- eloping new techniques in the preparation of teachers throughthe Normal Schools associated to the main project, andthe importance of improvement of teachers in By DANTE Today the Western Hemisphere stands on the threshold of a new chapter in its centuries-old story of political, economic, and cultu- ral development. From the com- mon background of European dis- covery and colonization, eventual achievement of political independ- ence, .and rapid economic growth the 20 Latin American republics, Canada, and the United States are finding new and. important com- mon interests and common pro- blems. New problems and new oppor- tunities’ for Estern Hemisphere cooperation have been met with new solutions. From the enuncia- tion of the Monroe Doctrine in 1823 to the present, statesmen of both South and North America have sought to achieve more ef- fective cooperation among their states. From 1889 to 1933 the Pan American movement served as the proving ground for inter-hemis- pheric experiments, successfully de- monstrating the value of a regional organization founded on common interests and objectives. The Good Neighbor policy emphasized by President Franklin D. Roosevelt and Secretary of State Cordell Hull in the 1930’s marked growing Un- ited States recognition of the need for inter-American friendship on a basis of full equality. The need for military cooperation in the post war world was met by the Rio Trea- ty (Inter-American Treaty of Re- ciprocal Assistance) of 1947, and a permanent basis for political co- operation has been established in the Charter of the Organization of American States. At present Latin America is caught up in a burst of far-reach- ing economic and social progress. The Western Hesmisphere as a whole stands out as one of the most dynamic sectors of the free world economy. And tre giant steps being taken at present are only a prelude of greater things to come. American technical assis- tance and credit extended by the World Bank, the United States Ex- port-Import Bank, and other insti- tutions have helped Latin Ameri- can governments and private citi- zens to help themselves. United States private investment in Latin America has also made tremen- dous advances in the past decade. Since a large portion of the dollar earnings of such Investments are reinvested in the same countries, this is having a powerful cumulat- ive effect in encouraging sound economic development of Latin service. HEMISPHERIC EVENTS Latin American News in Brief an extension of that issued .on Feb. 17, 1956 and would cover the recently granted pay increases to numerous unions, seeing that the original decree has expired. It would also answer the unions’ pro- test against the freezing of wages from June 30 for a year. MISSION TO ARGENTINA WASHINGTON (UP)— The In- ternational Bank for Reconstruc- tion and Development announced that it is sending a mission to Ar- gentina “to study the general eco- nomic situation and the govern- ment’s: investment plans.” The World Bank said the mis- sion is being sent at Argentina’s request and is expected to arrive in Buenos Aires on February 28. BRIDGE OPENED ON U. S.MEXICO BORDER NUEVO LAREDO, México (UP) — A new international bridge across the Rio Grande between here and Laredo, Texas, was of- ticially opened to traffic. The $555,656 structure, built to replace an old one washed down by floods in 1954, was completed several weeks ago. The formal opening was delayed, however, as Officials of the two cities could America’s great resources and mar- not agree on the matter of tolls to be charged motorists and pedes- trians using the bridge. Under an agreement signed yes- terday, each motorist or pedestrian crossing from the United States in- to México will pay 25 cents U. S. while those crossing from México into the United States will pay 20 Mexican centavos — less than 2 cents U. S. Cost of the bridge, built by the Mexican Department of Communi- cations was shared by the two countries, México paying 40 per cent.and the U. S. 60 per cent, It was explained that the bridge is 40 per cert in Mexican territory and 60 per cent on American terri- | tory. ARGENTINE SHIPS SOLD AS SCRAP IRON COMODORO RIVADAVIA, Ar- gentina (UP)— Navy Minister Adm, Teodoro Hartung confirmed that three Argentine warships re- cently withdrawn from service have been sold for scrap to United halid and Italian salvage compan- es. Hartung said the pro-world War I battleship Moreno and the Coast Guard ship Pueyrredén have been sold to U.

Partners in Progress B, FASCELL Member of Congress DANTE B, FASCELL kets. Those of us fortunate enough to live in South Florida are particu- larly aware of the great opportu- nities and benefits which stem from cooperation with Latin America. The long-range planning for the Interama in Miami is bases on recognition of the mutual advant- ages inherent in cultural, econo- mic, and political exchanges. AI- ready Latin American music, dan- ¢es, sports, and the inspiration of Latin American architecture (now achieving world recognition) are contribuiting to the diversity and richness of American life. It is of more than symbolic interest that the new hotels of Miami Beach and new buildings at the Univer- sity of Miami have more in com- mon with recent building in Rio de Janiero and Caracas and the brilliant new campus of the Univ- ersity of. Mexico than with most traditional American building.

This second factory was found in a house at the corner of the wide 23rd. Street and E street. Authorities reported that this bomb factory was booby trapped to explode charges when the police agents would enter the place. Se- veral of them ran grave danger when, searching the residence’s kit- chen, they opened the door of a gas water heater and touched off a ex- Plosion which, luckily, did not claim any lives. A few moments later another charge exploded, al- so without consequences. The Army explosives experts dis- armed the deathly machines and then carried on a thorough search, during which they found a great quantity of arms, ammuniton and materials for the manufacture of bombs. Among the arms they found Thompson machine guns, & great number of hand grenades and large quantities of other milit- ary equipment. NINE ARRESTED IN PREVIOUS RAID Last night, police raided an apartment in the Vedado suburb and arrested nine persons, among them a woman, after they found there five bombs, one of them a 25 pounder, which it seemed were scheduled to explode in this city the same night. A little later, as a result of de- positions made by the persons ar- rested, policemen raided a private tesidence in San Miguel’ del Pa. drén, near Havana, in which they eonfiscated 30 Rifles M-1, 15 cali- ber 30 infantry guns 2 machine guns, one of them caliber 50 and 250,000 rounds of ammunition. The speed and assurance with which the police acted, indicated that it was working on informa- tion previously obtained. Last week the police offered a reward of $5,000 to any person giving information which would lead to the arrest and conviction of terrorists. The terrorists group chief is, the police said, José Suérez Blanco, an individual the police has not been able to arrest and of whom they did not give any other details than his name. According to the police, the Ve- dado apartment was used as a “bomb factory.” During the raids the police seiz- ed also dynamite, fuses, timers, bat teries, detonators and other types of electrical material. Last Thursday night one bomb exploded in Havana and another in Vedado. These increased the num- ber of the explosions, since Janu- ary 15th., date in which constitu- tional guarantees were suspended, to 22. The explosions have caused no victims and only slight damages. A man who has been a member of the revolutionary group, ex Lt. of the Police, Juan Celestrin, was abated by bullets at the door of his home the same night and, in well, informed sources it is said that he was “executed” for “be- traying the revolutionary move- ment.” NAMES GIVEN OF NINE ARRESTED HAVANA, Feb. 23 (Special to THE AMERICAS DAILY) — The police identified the persons ar- rested in connection: with the seiz- ure of explosives and other ma- terial used in the manufacture of bombs as Nilda Ravelo (a woman), Pedro Palmero, Francisco Mirallés, Manuel Pérez Diaz, Carlos Mar- tinez Reyes, Bernardino Garcia Santos, Federicu Beloch, Héctor Ravelo and Miguel Falco. And the Army Intelligence Service believes the arms their men seized in San Miguel del Padrén belong to José Suarez Blanco, whom they accused also of being the killer of Army Sargent Fajardo, who was slain a few months ago in Arroyo Arenas. der an annual budget of $1,400,- De Souza was appointed Execu- tive Director to the newly created post four months ago. He is well ‘known in Brazil for his work in development programs, especially in the agricultural field.
