Press censorship did not have, in our opinion, possible justification, and even less with regard to public order, since the Cuban press was condemning the violence by certain elements which, with acts of sabotage, or personal attacks, were maintaining col- lective unrest with political purposes. For the Cuban people, who are champions of the democratic freedoms, censorship was, no doubt, a heavy burden, which weighed down on the Govern- ment. In reality, both the people and the Govern- ment in Cuba are used to freedom of the press. For that reason, the restrictive measure in reference produced a marked adverse reaction in the country and abroad. Conscious of its obligations, the Inter American Press Association strongly advocated the elimination of censorship. It did it in a categorical and respect- ful manner and, it is fair to note, the Government’s|of metal or wire from the brushes attitude toward IAPA was also respectful. The lat- ter, should not be normally surprising, but it hap- pens that, in similar cases, the Inter American Press Association has received disrespectful and unreason- able answers, lacking in politeness, from some gov- ernments which have rejected the negotiations in favor of press freedom made by IAPA. Now that press censorship has been eliminated |of the production, it is also packed in Cuba, we, condemned its establishment, agree with the general feeling of contentment, welcoming the measure which has as objective to re-establish a right of the Cuban people, that of free éxpression of their thoughts. In the exercise of this right the Cuban Press surely will maintain a position of decorum and patriotism, dignifying, as it ever did, its mission and giving prestige to the development, with a-sense of responsibility, of the country’s democratic acti- vities. On the other hand, it is to be expected that the Government, in lifting censorship, will not avail itself of any more or less artificial means to restrain, directly or indirectly, the freedom of the press, sub- stituting the censorship with other veiled or arbi- trary proceedings. This should not occur, not only as a matter of ideological principle, but also because in Cuba, we repeat, the government as well as the people are used to freedom of the press. Sikes to Get Report on Coast Guard Boat for Patrol in Gulf of México WASHINGTON (UP)— The Na- vy has promised an immediate re- port on how fast and at what cost it could make ready for Coast Guard use in the Gulf of México a suitable vessel from its mothball fleet. A Navy spokesman said he hoped to report to representative Robert L. F. Sikes, Democrat from Flori- da within hours. The question arose at a meeting between representatives of the shrimp congress, House and Sen- ate members from Gulf Coast states, and undersecretary of State Christian A. Herter, on complaints of the shrimpers against what they termed increasing harassment by iQué es ésto? éDe qué color es el libro? éQué es eso? iDe qué color es la pluma? iQué es eso? iEs parda o roja la regla? iEs esto la caja o la pluma?

Herter told the group “we have a very lively appreciation of this. pro- blem. We will do everything we can to work it out.” México claims control of the gulf nine miles out from her shores. Some of the choicer shrimp beds in the gulf are near that line. Industry spokesmen said today “32 American shrimpers were inter- cepted by the Mexicans while in the area last year. Sikes is a spokesman for law- makers from five affected states, He said there was agreement among shrimpers that patrols by a second Coast Guard gunboat would sharply reduce this interference. - SPANISH FOR BEGINNERS —_—_— . 3rd LESSON .

Sefior Sefiora Sefiorita For Cuban Offi KNOW THY NEIGHBOR By ANTONIO RUIZ 3 CUBA (Continued) — After go- ing through the dust removing machine, the coffee is roasted in a modern machine, where highly specialized men observe the roast- ing process to determine the exact moment at which the coffee must be removed from the roaster to avoid overcooking, and move it to the cooling chambers, where the coffee cools under currents of air. This process protects it from be- coming overdone and from ignit- ing, for due to the masses of coffee going through the machines at one time, the heat might do just that. From the cooler, the coffee beans go through a vacuum ex- tractor, and because of their light- ness they are easily removed, leav- ing behind small stones, etc., which came with the beans. The. coffee goes also through a powerful mag- net chamber, in which any piece in the shelling machines is remov- eed. So, with this machine, the whole process of roasting ends to insure perfect sanitary conditions of the coffee when it reaches the public, in a perfect state of excel- lent quality. Although very little coffee is comercially exported from Cuba, for the local market absorbs most with the same sincerity with which we}in metal and glass containers, for Cubans when they go on a trip never go without carrying with them a few pounds of coffee and a large number of Havana cigars, because they know they cannot match their excellence’ outside the island. As a complement to the Iong process of roasting and to prevent roasted coffee from losing some of its excellent qualities due to the factors of wheather and humidity which may affect it, as soon as the coffee is ready, it is distributed for its daily consumption, thus making sure that it is received fresh. This has helped to increase the consumption of coffee in Cu- ba, as the industry strives to bring to the consumer a product which uniformally has a delicious taste and aroma. As evidence of the continuous increase in coffee consumption in Cuba, statistics show that the aver- age consumption, per person, is of more than fitfeen pounds per year, a significant figure taking into con- sideration that in the statistics are counted all the inhabitants of the island, including children, who sel- dom have any coffee at all, It should be noted also that the aver- age number od cups of coffee per pound is around thirty-five, One of the oldest coffee roasting plants in Cuba was established in 1853, the year of the birth of the Cuban Apostle and heroe José Mar- ti, when a Spaniard named José Peral Revuelta established in Regla a small coffee roasting shop. He later sent for one of his nephews from Spain, Angel Regil Peral, who, at his uncle’s death, establish- ed in 1881 a roasting plant ‘in Guanabacoa, to which he gave his name, Regil, which is one of the ly advertised in Cuba.

Matthews and Dr. Fidel Castro, at the Sierra Maes- tra. The Herald Tribune investigat- ed the possibility that. the inter- view published by the Times was real and, as a result, Dr. Verdeja answered as above. He added “he could give guarantees that the in- terview with fellow-traveler Fidel Castro never took place and that what Matthews published is infor- mation he gathered at sources con- nected with Castro, as, otherwise, he would have appeared in the photo with the rebel.” He. ended by stating that the government was not sure that Fidel Castro came in the ‘expedition; but it was certain that Matthews did not interview him. PAPERS CAUTIOUS AT END OF CENSORSHIP HAVANA, Cuba (UP)— Cuban newspapers were cautious in re- turning to pre-censorship normal- ity today, aware that the so-called “law of public order” still is in effect under a suspension of con- stitutional guarantees, The law remains in effect until Friday or at the expiration of a 45-day constitutional limit unless the government decides to extend it. However, with the lifting of cen- shorship Tuesday many domestic and U. S. newspapers appeared un- hindred containing news of Cuban political development adverse to the government of President Ful- gencio Batista. The lifting of the order permit- ted disclosure of the fact that there were at least 23 bomb explosions in the area of greater Havana alone, two of them within a com- paratively short distance of the presidential palace. It also permitted disclosure of the most daring revolutionary at- tempt so far this year in Havana. On Feb. 8, two gunmen tried to blow up the block-wide Ambar Mo- tors building in suburban El Veda- do. Two mechanics foiled the at- tack. by dunking the dynamite in- to pails of water after the gunmen left. Had the dynamite exploded, it could have collapsed the television tower atop-the building and prob- ably would have touched off a ma- jor fire in the heavily populated area. n STRIKE SETTLED LIMA, Perd (UP)— A strike in- volving 19,000 textile mill workers was settled, after paralyzing the industry for one week. Both management and labor ac- eepted a compromise solution of- fered by the Government to settle the strikers demands for higher pay and other benefits. TOO YOUNG TO KILL? MEXICO CITY (UP)— Roberto Espinosa Garcia was stabbed to death for his trouble when te told 14-year-old Fidencio Davila Rios he was “too young to be carrying a knife.” | ARGENTINE FANS WRECK RACE TRACK CORDOBA, Argentina (UP) — furious crowd of horse racing fans tore up benches and railings and smashed windows in an at- tempt to storm the judges stand at the local track because the favorite failed to place in the fourth race after getting away in front in three false starts. The crowd demanded that the judges rule “no contest” after outsider Althun which paid 38.20 to 2 led the field to the wire with favorite Barman bringing up the rear, Barman faded fast after leav- ing the gate with the leaders on the fourth start. MEXICO DEPORTS TWO AMERICANS MEXICO CITY (UP)— Two Americans, charged with a’ plot to counterferfeit more than $600,000 in U. S. dollars, were deported to the United States, the Interior Min- istry. announced.

In a speech delivered in the city of Pamplona, the President said that his purpose to undertake the reform of the Constitution, an- nounced in 1953, will not be stop- ped even if it may have “open and powerful adversaries and will have to suffer the contingences inflict- ed on it by the maneuvers of gov- ernment enemies.” He said that the Assembly, created with the purpose of making the constitutional reform, “chose to elude this grave responsibility and dedicate itself to recriminatory political debates. . .This makes one think that the integration of the present Assembly should be modi- fied substancially, because the re- form is a fundamental and perman- ent necessity of the Republic. . .” Rojas Pinilla added that the Gov- ernment has considered convenient and necessary to postpone the re- opening of the sessions, which was fixed for the 1st. of March, to a lat- ter date. - Member Inter American Press Association For Liberty, Culture and | __ Hemispheric Solidarity NUMBER 198 -_-—_——. ution in Latin America Similar to U.

Captain Alberto Cuevas Gémez and his partners, José Vertiz Mal- donado and Pablo Toscano com- pleted the fourth leg of the flight that have taken them to El Salva- dor, Costa Rica and Panama. They were feted by the Colombian Aero Club and from here they will fly to Cali and hence to Guayaquil, Ecua- dor. The most important traject of their trip, according to the pilot, Captain Cuevas Gémez, view point, will be initiated after their arrival in Rio de Janeiro; because, from there, they will fly over the Matto Grosso region and take the diagon- al air route to Venezuela, a route little used even by the commercial airlines. In this traject, the Mexie- ans intend to take photos and mov- ing pictures. They expect to be back in México in about five weeks. After Guayaquil, the itinerary comprises Lima, Vifia del Mar, Val- paraiso, Santiago, Mendoza, Bue- nos Aires, Montevideo, Porto Ale- gre, Sao Paulo and Rio de Janeiro. Rep. Porter to Blame Dominican Govt. Today For U. S. Pilot's Disappearance WASHINGTON, Feb. 27 (UP)— Democratic Representative Charles O. Porter, in a radio talk, said last night that the speech he will make in the House of Representatives tomorrow, Thursday, will place on the Dominican authorities the blame for the disappearance of U, S. pilot Gerald Murphy. “My opinion until this moment is that Gerry Murphy was assas- sinated by request of the Dominic- an authorities, because they feared complication in the disappearance of Galindez,” Porter said. ‘ Porter affirms, as was published in the magazines Time and Life, that Murphy, who was employed by the Trujillo Government, was the pilot of the plane in which Professor Jesis de Galindez was taken out of the United States last March. Meanwhile, two members of Con- gress and a Catholic priest indicat- ed they will accept decoration sent to them by the Dominican Govt., which are to be imposed tonight at the Dominican Embassy in Wash- ington. Those decorated, Rep, John W. McCormack, House majority lead- er, Rep. Katharine Saint George of New York, and Father Joseph F. Thorning, said. that the alleged charges against the Dominican Government in the affair Galindez- Murphy, will not be an obstacle for them to accept the Duarte, Sanchez and Mella Order of Merit. HEMISPHERIC’ EVENTS were expelled at Laredo, Tex. The pair, together with a Mexic- an accomplice, were arrested last week when a Mexican printing shop owner reported them for try- ing to secure the services of his plant for the forgeries. Police said Morely gave his ad- dress as East Arrow Highway, Up- land, Calif. TRAGIC WEDDING IN SANTIAGO, CHILE SANTIAGO, Chile (UP)— The bridegroom, his father and the bestman lost their lives in a vio- lence-marred wedding and police arrested the surviving members of the party. Police said Luis Burrel Martinez, father of the bridegroom, fell, frac- tured his skull and died as he at- tempted to diseipline his son Car- los, a brother of the bridegroom, Luis, during the latter’s wedding. Luis and the bestman, Roberto Villablanca, rushed from the wed- ding on a motorcycle in search of a doctor. They crashed against an automobile and were killed. The bride of a few moments and Representative Porter inform- ed them about the speech he plans to deliver at the House on Thurs- day. Rep. Saint George said she un- derstands “it is a decoration for the work I have performed for the betterment of relations between the two countries.” After praising the work of so- cial and material progress of ‘the Government of Generalissimo Ra- fael Leonidas Trujillo, Mrs. Saint George added: “There is no doubt that his Gov- ernment leaves much to be desired, but, in my opinion, that happens with all governments.” Rep. Donald L. Jackson, who al- so was decorated by the Dominic- an Government, cancelled the ac- ceptation, because he had to leave yesterday for active service with the Marines. In the radio interview, Porter de- clared that in his speech he will stress two points: where is Gerry Murphy, and which is the U. S. policy toward dictatorships. Porter pointed out that non-com- munist dictatorships, “at our door step,” are as cruel as any com- munist dictatorship. At the same time he said the explanation given by the Dominican Government in the Murphy case is an invention. Porter said he understands that anti-Trujillo Dominican exiles plan a demonstration in front of Con- gress the day he makes his speech. the guests were detained for ques- tioning. LARGEST JEWEL THEFT IN MEXICAN HISTORY MEXICO CITY (UP)— Police reported they are investigating a huge theft of jewels worth appro- ximately $350,000 and belonging to Italian-French Countess Fran- cesca de Scaffa. Police said it was the “largest jewel theft in México in the past 50 years” and that the stolen jewels includes the “world’s largets topaze,” besides a diamond meck- Jace and bracelet. . The blonde 25-year-old Countess had come to the bullfight and dis- covered that her jewels were miss- ing on her return to her apartment in the swank Cuauhtemoc suburb of México City. The Countess arrived a few weeks ago as a tourist with her mother and daughter. A police investigator said the thief or thieves apparently knew exactly where the jewels were kept in the apartment as nothing else there was disturbed. He theor- Thinking of Latin NEW ORLEANS, Feb. 27 (UP) — A high U. S> official said today that Latin America has begun an industrial revolution which may be compared with the one that pro- moted progress in the United States during the last fifty years. Sumner M, Ander, specialist in Latin American ‘Affairs of — the Bureau of Mines, Metals and Pe- troleum, said the United States is doing all she can to encourage in- dustrial development in Latin America. The speaker said that since the end of the war, loans have been granted to nine Latin American countries for mining projects for a total of 495,700,000 dollars. He declared also that to think of Latin America only as a source of raw materials is a grave error for future planning. “Latin America is about to begin or, better yet, has begun already, a commercial revolution which could be compared in the next fifty years with the developmentof the United States in the last fifty years,” Anderson said. He pointed out that Latin Ame- rica is also the main foreign source of supply of minerals which are essential to the United — States. The speaker said the Bureau of Mines of the United States lends assistance to the countries request- ing it, and pointed out that in 1950 Brazil established, with U. S. tech- nical assistance, the first plant to profitably produce refined lead. The process, which before required eight days for the elimination of antimony, was reduced to five hours, Anderson said. WASHINGTON, Feb. 27 (UP)— The ex majority leader of the Bra- zilian Senate, Dario Cardoso, stat- ed. that his eounty could absorb millions of immigrants; but, at pre- sent, does not have the needed facilities to do so. i Cardoso said that the bigger pro- blem Brazil faces, in regard to im- migration, is the lack of facilities for the distribution and installa- tions of immigrants. In visit of three months to the United States, invited by the State Department, Cardoso declared in a Press Conference’ held at the Pan American Union, that Brazil- ian public opinion concurs in the increase of immigration in the country. He stressed that the big- ger percentage of the immigrants, who come to Brazil at present, are from Italy and Portugal. Cardoso also said that there is a great néed. of agricultural workers in his country, and explained that ized that possibly the thief was a member of an international gang who followed the Countess to Mé- xieo. AIRCRAFT CARRIER FOR ARGENTINA BUENOS AIRES (UP)— Vice President Isaac Rojas said today that Argentina will purchase an aircraft carrier “if the eountry needs it.’ Rojas, who is a rear admiral, said once the need for the carrier is established, no Argentine would oppose it because the acquisition will be “tied directly to the de- fense of our sovereignty.” Since Brazil bought a British 14,000 ton carrier last year, Argen- tine Navy spokesmen have been talking about possibly acquisition of a similar carrier for Argentina, either from the United States or Britain. Purchase of a carrier has been criticized on economic grounds in various opposition newspapers, tanging from the Communist to the Catholic-Nationalist’ publica- ons, America Only as Raw Materials Source « Grave Error High U. $. Mining Official and Expert on Latin America Declares at New Orleans He also declared he disagrees with those who believe that the aid the United States gives to other countries is an unnecessary ex pense, “For each dollar that the United States has promised to contribute to projects of technical coopera: tion in Latin America, those coum tries contribute $2.70”, Ander son pointed out. Louis C. Raymond, another spe cialist on Latin America among the speakers, said the governments of the principal mining countries of Latin America realize the benefite of cooperative measures. . Raymond, who as an engineer for the metal firm of Ford, Bacon and Davis, Ine., of New York, made-a study last year of the Bolivian mining industry, said: “that coun- try is one of the more gifted. with natural resources in South America,” but that in the last five years “the revolutionary campaign toward nationalism has brought a stop to private capital invest- ments.” Z. W. Bartlett, Vice President of the Freeport Sulphur Co., de clared the Mexican sulphur ¢om- panies are prospering. He point ed out that the sulphur industry in México enjoys advantages, re- garding salaries and taxes, which the U. S. companies do not have, and that the future of that industry in México is brilliant. “Without any doubt, México will achieve great importance in the free world as a producer of sulphur. In the last three years, four new mines have started production”, Bartlett said. Brazil Could Absorb Millions of Immigrants, Senafe Leader Says the majority of the immigrants en- tering Brazil move to the interior looking for work in the farms. He stated that at present, there are 3 000 Hungarian refugees in Rio de Janeiro, who soon will be placed in agricultural work. 1) Cardoso is at pesent genérah lawyer of the National Immigra- tion Institute. He left the Senate in, 1955, but will try to get elected again in 1958, Be He said he was specially interest ed in discussing the experiences ai tained by the United States with the Japanese immigration, as,,in Brazil there is a great amount®™of Japanese immigrants and it is @x- pected that many more of them will. arrive in the future to. es- tablish residence here. Cardoso declared that the k of transportation, constitutes * bigger problem the Kubitschek government faces in its efforts t0 establish the Federal Capital, Bra- silia, in the Goyaz State, which is precisely Cardoso State. He added that, at present, there is a project for construction of a superhighway and a railroad, which would unite the principal coastal cities with Brasilia. In regard to other affairs, Cardo- so said that, in his opinion, the Or- ganization of American States (0 AS) is an efficient organism; but not enough publicity was being giv- en to its work in Latin Ameria mainly in Brazil. He declared that he held conferences of a political character with the Ambassador. of his country in Washington, Admir- al Ernani Do Amaral Peixoto, re- cently elected President of the Social Democrat Party. 1 i Cardoso travels accompanied by his wife and daughter, Dalcione, Next week he will continue . his tour through’ the United States.
