EDITORIAL THE EISENHOWER DOCTRINE With proper approval from the Congress of the United States, the “Eisenhower Doctrine” is now in effect, to cope with the problems of communist infil- tration in the Middle East. According to this doc- trine, the United States will be able to exercise military intervention in defense of any State of the Middle East that is a victim of communist aggres- sion, if that State requests aid from the Washington Government. The doctrine has been the object of multiple discussions and interpretations. Evidently, it has been demonstrated that, before the immense danger there is that in the Middle East occurs what hap- pened in Hungary and in the other countries subjugated by Soviet tyranny, the democratic po- wers, in particular the United States of America, cannot remain inactive and allow that Russia con- tinues expanding her threatening empire, reinforc- ing communism, which by means of violence pretends to subjugate the whole world. The extraordinary strategic importance of the Middle East, as well as the danger the region is facing, were determining factors for the approval of the “Eisenhower Doctrine”, which has the objective of adopting measures of open military cooperation with any State in the Middle East that falls victim of a politico-military invasion by communist im- perialism. If the United States were indifferent to the subjugation of other peoples, showing also indif- ferentce toward the increase of Russian power through domination of other States, the fate of this great North American nation as well as that of other democratic countries would be condemned to chaos, because, after certain time, without a world war, Russia would be the ruler of a great part of the world, and would be then in condition to inflict a mortal stroke against the United States. If Russia didn’t have, as it has now, the strategic materials supplied by the satellite countries, she would not be the great threat for humanity that her great power constitutes now. For that reason, even before World War II ended, and taking advantage of the candor of some western statesmen, Stalin initiated his campaigns of political and military conquest, until he subjugated such nations as Czechoslovakia, Hungary, Eastern Germany, etc. Precisely, in order to avoid repetition of such sorrowful cases, which make the military capacity of Russia stronger and more threatening, is that the United States, before the danger in the Middle East, has proclaimed the “Eisenhower Doctrine”. It is to be hoped that the occasion of putting it in- to practice never arises, and we should pray to God that if, unfortunately, that moment arrives, the position of the United States results in a victory, for the benefit of world democracy. Inflation, Worst Argentine Problem LONDON (UP)— Sir Francis Glyn, Chairman of the Bank of London and South America, in his annual report said the task of re- storing Argentina’s economy and returning to a liberal economic sy- stem has proved “to be a hard one.” In that section of his report in! which he deals with affairs in Ar- gentina, Sir Francis said “In the economic sphere the most notable progress has been made in agri- culture and the livestock industry. “In other sectors of the Argen- tine economy, however, the recov- ery has been much less marked, As the Prebisch report stressed, the country’s need for investment 1s particularly acute in the basic fields.of transport, power and fuel, and the failure to maintain or ex- pand these services was one of the major mistakes of economic policy under the former regime. .. “To carry out all the invest- ments required in these fields and vo provide the necessary re-equip- ment for other industries is be- yond Argentina’s unaided efforts in the present state of the balance For KNOW THY NEIGHBOR By ANTONIO RUIZ CUBA — Industrial production in Cuba began to make some pro- gress after the passage in 1927 of the Cuban Customs Tariff Law, the purpose of which was to protect na- tional manufacturing enterprises by raising the import duties on ar- ticles that were already being, or could be, manufactured in the country. The war also stimulated the growth of manufacturing in the island, not only along the line of war material production, but also to meet demand for consumer goods that could not be secured from abroad because of general economic dislocations, As part of its diversification pro- gram, the Government passed laws in 1945 aimed at encouraging the establishment of new industries by exempting them from payment of import duties, as well as from cer- tain internal taxes, the definition of “new industry” being any enter- prise making raw materials, not finished, or semi-finished goods that were not produced in Cuba prior to August 14, 1945. New in- dustries also enjoy certain privile- ges and exemtions in the assess- ment of profit taxes and import duties on tools and equipment. At the present time, aside from processing of sugar and tobacco, which lead all other industrial ac- itvities by a wide margin, Cuban manufacturing includes the follow- ing items: textiles and textile pro- ducts, shoes, paints and chemicals, pharmaceutical and toilet goods, plastic specialities, wooden furni- ture, soft drinks, beer and liquor, processed foods, and some iron and steel articles, Sugar has dominated the Cuban economy-for more than a century, and because of the unpredictabili- ty of the foreign market, the coun- try has had to contend for many years with a complex problem af- fecting all phases of national life. When suger production was much Jarger, the grinding season contin- ued for about five months of the year, but to prevent overpro- duction and still keep the mills running at capacity during the grinding season, for the sake of efficiency and economy, it has been found necessary to restrict this period to about three months of the year. This has produced a chronic state of unemployment for about nine months each year among that third of the country’s laborers who are engaged in the sugar industry. Diversification in the manufacture of sugar cane by-products is ad- vocated as a means of helping to stabilize this all-important indus- try in Cuba, Such products as sy- rups, confectionery, alcohol, cellul- lose, and plastics could be produc- ed on a larger scale than at pre- sent, in the opinion of many per- sons who have made careful stud- ies about this problem. Spanish Version Page 3 of payments.” He added that foreign loans and investments were not yet on a suf- ficient scale to make a decisive tontribution to the recovery of the Argentine economy. Sir Francis added: “of all the problems confronting the Argen- tine Government the gravest at present is the fight against renew- ed inflation. On this rests the en- tire recovery program. Owing to exorbitant wage claims the achieve ment on this front has been disap- pointing. “The essence of the Prebisch plan was that another wage-price spiral should be avoided at all costs.

The 32-year-old Castillo was wearing an aqualung which ap- parently failed, He was fished from the water and died at 2:55 am. EST in the Acapulco Naval Hospit- al. The young swimmer, who repre- sented México in the 1956 Olympics was one of several frogmen ‘and skin divers searching for the bod- ies of New York attorney Joseph Michel, 70 and wealthy Brooklyn widow Mrs. Edith Hallock, 63. The pair was beaten to death and their bodies tossed into the harbor by a travel agent and his illiterate handyman. ’ Luis Fenton, 38, a hotel tourist agency owner, and handyman Da- niel Rios confessed to the murders yesterday. Police said Fenton was an American citizen of Mexican parentage and was in México il- legally. Police said Fenton and Rios ad- mitted beating Michel and Mrs. Hallock to death with a baseball pat aboard a sightseeing boat on Feb. 20, robbing them of $80,000 worth of jewelry and about $160 in cash, and then tossing their bod- WASHINGTON, March 11 (UP) Mrs. Leslie Judd Porter, outstand- ing U. S. art critic, dedicated her entire article in the Washington's “Post and Times Herald” and the Boston’s “Christian Science Moni- tor”, to a comment on Nicaraguan paintings, particularly on the works of 30 years old Nicaraguan painter Armando Morales. Morales works are now on ex- hibition at the Pan* American Union Art Gallery. Mrs, Porter makes these com- ments about the style of this young artist: “Morales presents in his work a semi-abstract technique and gives his canvas a varied and interesting superficie, painting in a form which gives the pigments a carved aspect. Although they appear sub- tle in color, the canvas are, in reality, almost iridescent, with pure colors which dilute themselves in the ampler parts. The conceptions | are complicated and full of vitality, specially in a painting of abandon- ed boats with their sails counter- point, or the one of a loaded barge AMI SPRINGS, FLA., TUESDAY, MARCH 12, 1957 Mexican Swimming Champion Drowned While Searching for Bodies of Slain U. 5. Tourists ies over the side into Aeapuleo har- bor. An intensive search has been un- derway for the bodies ever since. The bodies found on an isolated Mexican beach last week were thought at first to be those of the victims. But they turned out to be the remains of two Mexicans who had been killed in an accident. Police said the tourist agency owner’s correct name was Rudy C. Fenton-Cabaruzzo, that he was born in San Antonio, Tex., entered México as. a tourist in 1946, and had remained here illegally since then. They said they understood he was wanted on bad check charges in Los Angeles, Calif. In describing the murders, Fen- ton said “it was just a matter of arranging a simple boat ride.” But the question of where the slayings occurred could determine the punishment imposed on Fen- ton and Rios if they are convicted. There is no death penalty either under Mexican Federal Law or under the law of the State of Gue- trero, where Acapulco is located. However, if Federal law applies, the two men could receive a maxi- mum sentence of 40 years in pri- son. If Guerrero State law applies, the most they could get would be 30 years. Nicaraguan Artists Highly Praised of double imagination which as- sociate them to the works of Wil- fredo Lam; but the colors are soft and evocative instead of impetu- ous. Mrs. Porter also praises Sculptor Ernesto Cardenal and Omar de Leén, “who exhibits paintings of great interest with simple and plain conceptions; but with rich- ness and quality in color.” Mrs, Porter says that Leon’s works “have a disarming candor, but there is a solid depth of know- ledge behind these carefully made compositions, and a rich scale of colors.” Painter Morales is visiting the United States by invitation of the State Dept. and during the first week of his exhibition here, sold all his canvas. One of his paintings was bought by the Museum of Mod- ern Art, of New York, one of the most important institutions of its kind in the United States. Luis Quintanilla, Mexican Ambassador to the Organization of American States (OAS), who bought one of Morales Canvas, said he has hopes with its close composition. Several forest scenes capture the complex MINIMUM WAGES IN THE CANAL ZONE WASHINGTON (UP)— The Ad- ministration is undecided whether or not to enforce the Federal mini- {mum wage in the Panama Canal Zone, Labor Department spokes- men indicate. The Supreme Court ruled in 19- 48 that the minimum wage — now $1 an hour — must be paid any- where under the U. S. flag except im areas specifically exempted by the law. Those areas are Puerto Rico, the Virgin Islands, an Ameri- can Samoa. The Labor Department, how- ever, is not known to have made SCHACHT TOURING LATIN AMERICA MEXICO CITY (UP)— Hjalmar Schacht, Germany’s “finance wi- zard” during world war Il, said he is making a tour of Latin America “simply to know these countries better.” The German banker, now 80 years old, said he was “pleasantly surprised” by México’s progress and believes it will be one of the Hispanoamerican nations that will play an important role in the fut- ure of the American continent. Schacht arrived here for the first stop on a trip that will carry him throughout Latin America. He said he is traveling “simply as a tourist, with no business connec- tions and no official representa- tions.” He said, however, that Germany hopes to renew friendships and commercial connections with Mé- xico and other Spanish-speaking countries as part of its rebuilding program. Schacht, who was absolved of war' criminal charges at Nurem- berg, aow is director of a- small that the young painter will visit México soon. any effort to date to enforce the minimum wage in such off-shore U. S. areas as Guam or the Panama Canal Zone. This inaction has prompted pe- riodic criticism in congress. The administration attempted to solve the problem last year by sponsor- ing legislation to extend the ex- exemption to all off-shore U. S. areas except Hawaii and Alaska, The House gutted the adminis- tratio nmeasure, however, and lim- ited new exemption to Samoa.

Republic Steel has large ore re- serves near Pluma Hidalgo, ARGENTINE ARMY GENERALS CLEARED BUENOS AIRES (UP)— The Army Ministry cleared five re- tired generals of any connection with a Peronist subversive plot disclosed by the Government last week, A communique said generals He- raclio Ferrazzano, Ernesto Fati- gatti, Juan Molinuevo~and Euse- bio Molinuevo, whose arrests were disclosed semi-officially, were questioned at a military post but were released “when it was made perfectly elear they were totally Member Inter American For Liberty, Culture and Cuban Rebel R 203 Movement is Communist Inspired, Gen. Batist HAVANA, March 11 (UP)— President Fulgencio Batista, in a speech he delivered yesterday be- tore the Armed Forces, in the fifth anniversary of the “coup d’ etat” which put him in power, on March 10, 1952, dubbed as “communist” the revolutionary movement a- gainst his government. Batista mentioned the head. of the movement, Dr. Fidel Castro Ruz as an agent of the Soviet JOAQUIN E. SALAZAR Dominican Envey to U. S. Recalled by His Government WASHINGTON (UP)— The Do- minican government has recalled its ambassador to the United States as a result of publicity in the Mur- phy-Galindez case. Ambassador Joaquin E, Salazar said he “has received instructions to return home” and is “preparing to depart.” He did not disclose the departure date. Informed sources said the Tru- jillo regime recalled Salazar and Minister of Embassy Oscar G.Gi- nebra for having permitted the Murphy-Galindez case to grow in- to an international cause celebre. Rep. Charles O. Porter (D.-Ore.) has charged that Trujillo agents were implicated in the disappear- ances of Columbia University Prof. Jestis Galindez and American avia- tor Gerald L. Murphy. The recall of Ambassador Sala- zar comes at a moment in which the FBI and New York police are continuing investigations regard- ing Porter’s accusations. It is expected he will repeat and amplify his charges when he speaks Tuesday at the “Club Vasco” of New York on the first anniversary of Galindez disappearance. Porter, commenting on the ac- cusations made against him by Do- minican officials that “internation- al communists consider him asso- ciate-comrade” and that he “is be- ing pursued by chauffeurs and oth- er Oregon workers deceived by Porter,” said today: “That is ex- actly what I predicted in my speech in the House. It follows the established pattern. The Trujillo regime always attacks its critics accusing them of being commun- ists. If things continue according to that pattern, very soon they will attack my sexual integrity.” that enforcement of the minimum wage in the Canal Zpne is at last being brought to a test. They reported that Department experts are studying the bid of Canal Zone stevedores for the $1 minimum, through refusal to load scrap aboard a Japanese vessel for the hitherto prevailing sixty cents an hour. The spokesmen did not indicate when a Department policy decision might be expected. But they in- dicated that the question is being handled on an emergency basis. unconnected with the matters un- der investigation.” As to Gen. angel J. Manni, whose name was mentioned among the arrested generals, the Ministry said “at no time was his presence re- quired by the military authorities.” Gen. Miguel Ifiguez, who was also mentioned as linked with the plot, was not referred to in the communique, but it has been re- ported that he had been under ar- rest since shortly after the revolu- tion that ousted Perén. IRISH DELEGATION TO ARGENTINA LONDON (UP) — Ireland's of- ficial delegation to the centenary celebrations in the Argentine for Admiral William Brown, founder of the country’s navy, left here, The party which left London aboard an Argentine Airways flight was made up of General Sean Mc- Eoin, representing the government; Commander Thomas McKenna, re- presenting the navy and defense forces; Dr. G. Hayes-McCoy, chair- man of the Irish Admiral Brown Commemoration Committee and al- Union, He added that his revolu- tionary proclamation is communist by all means. and called attention about Castro participation in the 1948 Bogota riots, when he was a student leader. The Chief Executive also said in his address, broadcasted to the Na- tion, that Castro has had connec- tions with several Congress at countries behind the Iron Curtain. Batista told the troops that the revolutionary forces in Sierra Maestra have not fired one single shot since the skirmishes of mid- June, which were revealed by the government when it accused the rebels of taking advantage of a truce they asked for, allegedly to leave the country, to “assassinate” eleven members of an Army Pa- trol. Batista declared that the Sierra Maestra is not considered any more as a zone of hostilities. CUBAN POLICE SEARCH FOR ARMS SMUGGLERS The police in this city is engaged in investigating a truck which was carrying arms contraband in the outskirts of this capital and which occupants exchanged shots with the agents, seriously wounding one of them. ; The clash occurred when a Police patrol car stopped the truck, which was traveling toward San Miguel a Declares del Padrén. The truck’s occup: ants alit from the vehicle and open ed fire against the police and then fled. The truek was loaded with hand machine guns, rifles and ammunition. ANTI BATISTA GROUP PARADES IN NEW YORK NEW YORK, March 11 (UP)— A group of members and sym- pathizers of the Movement 26 de julio, organization now fighting the Cuban government, paraded yes- terday in front of the United Na- tions building in this city and de- livered a document in which it is asked “that consideration be given to the acts of the Cuban govern- ment, which violate the principles and fundaments of the United Nations and the Rights of Man.” Arnaldo G, Barron, Pablo Diaz Gonzalez and Angel Pérez Vidal, leaders of the Movement 26 of July in this city, sign the document handed over to the World Organi- zation and promise to supply proof “of the. acts carried on by the pre- sent Cuban regime, which governs against the people’s will. The document gives a resume of measures taken by the government of President Fulgencio Batista “which violate the principles and fundaments of the United Nations and the Rights of Man.” The paraders arrived at the Pla- za in front of the U. N. building, in cars bearing placards with mot- tos against the Cuban govern: ment. Some of the placards, which slo- gans were written in English and Spanish said: “26 of July points out the road;” “Cuba: the Carib- bean Hungary,” and “we ask the State Department not to send arms to Cuba.” Important Railroad Completed in Ecuador: New Zones Open fo Trade QUITO, Mareh 11 (UP) — Sixto Duran, Minister of Public Works, nailed the last spike on the rails of the new railroad which unites the cities of Quito and Ibarra with San Lorenzo, a point on the bay of the same name, in Esmeraldas Province, very near the Colombian frontier. Ecuador ended so a. project which started more than half a eentury ago and with which it hopes to colonize the uninhabited northeastern region of the coun- Ye Durén said when he hammered down the last spike of the rail- road, that the work “unites rich virgin, fine lumber zones of as- tounding fertility” of Esmeraldas Province to the rest of the coun- try. The ceremony was held at kilo- meter 309 of this railroad which crosses the Andean Range through 84 tunnels and 58 bridges, some of them gigantic, and reaches the Pacifie coast. At kilometer 309 the section which construction started at San Lorenzo, joined the’ one coming from Ibarra. The ceremony was attended, be- sides Duran, by Minister of Gov- ernment, Enrique Arroyo, French Ambassador, Georges Bernys, mem so representing the Minister for External Affairs and Msgr.

MEXICO CITY (UP)— The In- terior Ministry announced it will keep a complete statistical record of the number of Mexican braceros going to the United States and re- turning to México. “This will enable us to better control the exodus of Mexican farm workers to the United States,” an official said, He said that more than 400,000 hirings were recorded last year, but actually no more than 30,000 persons crossed the border. This was due, he said, to the bers of the Ecuadorean Construct- ing Board and high officials of the French company which construct- ed the 150 kilometer final section. Also authorities of the Pichincha, Embabura, Carachi, and Esmeral- das Provinces, through which ter- ritory the 384 kilometers of rail- road track is extended. The work started in 1906, and 19 years elapsed in construction of the section from Quito to Ibarra, a city located 75 kilometers northeast of the capital. The construction of the section Ibarra to the coast, double in length to the Quito-Iba- tra section, started in 1925, but was suspended on account of cer- tain financial difficulties. For the construction of the fin- al Ibarra-San Lorenzo section, the Government signed a contract with the “Empresas Metropolitanas Co- loniales”, a French company. The total cost of the construction is calculated in about 400 million Su- cres, Trains will start plying, in a re- gular form, next July, and it will help in the work of colonization of San Lorenzo Bay region, which is uninhabited, and in the estab- lishment of the San Lorenzo Port, Fourteen Killed _ in Bus Accident Near Bogoté BOGOTA, March 11 (UP)— 4 least fourteen persons were kilied, among eighty passengers of a bus which fell on a precipice near the town of Fusagasugd. Fifteen were seriously injured, and authorities fear ‘the number of victims will be much greater. The group was returning to this capital from Girardot, port on the Magdalena River, where they at- tended a demonstration during which the candidacy for re-election of General Rojas Pinilla as presi- dent was proclaimed. The accident occurred about five miles from Fusagasug4, when the bus turned to one side to give the right of way to an automobile go- ing in opposite direction. One of the back wheels slipped down and the bus fell in the abyss. fact that the hiring is done th stages, and many braceros hire themselves several times and cross the border only once, At least 90 per cent of the bra- ceros have been going to the Unit. ed States for several years, and when their contract expires they sign again for another term om the spot without eoming back to México, he said,
