Fla.. on Febeuary 8. 1956, EDITORIAL IDIOSYNCRASY OF THE PEOPLES OF THE UNITED STATES AND LATIN AMERICA It is virtually imposible that peoples of different historic origin, speaking different languages, belonging to different races, as are those of the United States and Latin America, do not have discrepancies in customs and in every- thing constituting their idiosyncracy. This reality does not mean, however, that it is not possible to achieve a good measure of understanding between the two groups, in particular when they are united by geogra- phical situation; .community of insterests, similarity in po- litical aspirations and the same ardent desire for cultural achievement. What is needed to make those differences increasingly small and unity stronger all the time, is that leaders in both sectors of America, coordinating plans, take real interest in smoothing the path of Inter American relations, and to see that these relations, which should be defined in terms of wide solidarity, result in reciprocal benefits. United before the danger of extra continental agression, and united also by a comprehensive Panamericanism, which implies a vast plan of obligations and rights, the twenty-one countries of America, within their respective idiosyncracies, will constitute a unique and vigorous block of peoples, with a common denominator of benefits born from solidarity, cooperation and sincere understanding. INTER AMERICAN SCIENTIFIC CONGRESS IN MIAMI With an expected attendance of approximately one thousand professional men, an interesting Medical Congress, on cancer cytology, will begin a meeting this week in Miami Beach, to which more. than two hundred physicians from Latin America have been invited. Meetings of this nature, in which several hundreds of U. S. and Latin American citizens congregate, have been taking placed lately, with excellent results, in Greater Miami, a metropolis that because of its geographical situation and multiple attractions and facilities, is really ideal for that type of continental conferences. Miami can be a meeting place, comfortable and economical as far as air transportation fares are concerned, for the citizens of the United States and Latin America who are interested in discussing. commercial, scientific, cultural or litical matters. And that is what is happening in the last ew years in this flourishing, great city, and the success of those meetings is a guarantee that similar Inter American assemblies will continue taking place in Miami. All this should be taken into consideration by the leaders of this flourishing metropolis, to channel through even better ways the interchange of relations between Miami and the Latin American countries. Ecuadorean Govt. Studies Several Oil Concessions QUITO, (SICO) — The Ecuador- ean Government is negotiating se- yeral oil concessions in different parts of the country, especially in the eastern region, and near the Pacific coast. Concessions under study are. for Leonard Exploration Co., for 10 million hectares in the stern region; to California-Ecua- dor Corp. for 1,468,539, along the Pacific coast; Ernesto Larco Rueg, 147,067; to the Manabi Exploration Co., for 873,603; to Minas, C. A., for 145,000; and to McCauley for 125,000. Shell had the concession for al- most the total territory of eastern Ecuador, made some explorations and with the investment of 300 million sucres drilled several wells, from which some oil came out, but when the country was waiting for exploitation in large scale, the company left the country stating there was no oil in commercial quantities. It transferred the con- eession to the Standard Oil. The Seventeen Jailed In Argentina TUCUMAN, Argentina (UP) — Seventeen persons suspected of plotting to “disturb public order” have been imprisoned here in the past 48 hours, it was announced. No details of the alleged plot were made public. The prisoners, including persons from four north- west Argentine provinces, were jailed “at the disposition of the president.” This means they may be held indefinitely without the filing of charges. Meanwhile, in the mountain ci- ty of Mendoza, southwest of here, three unions ordered a 48-hour strike to protest the arrest Mon- day of several union leaders. The uaions involved represent cooks and kitchen help, construc- tion workers and lumberjacks, The power plant employes’ union is ex- pected to support the protest walk- out. Ecuadorean Government has re- ports that Eastern Ecuador is vir- tually an oil lake, and is interested in exploiting that great wealth. By ANTONIO RUIZ ARGENTINA — The city of Cérdoba, located in the center of the country, in a rich agricultural region, was founded in 1573 by Spaniards who crossed from Peri and Bolivia. Cérdoba faces east- ward the pampas, with its famous hills rising in three chains to the north, south and west. The aristo- cratic colonial city, which has been called the “learned city” be- cause it was both a religious and an intellectual center during more than two centuries, has one of the oldest universities in the Western Hemisphere( the San Carlos Uni- versity, founded in 1613, center of eulture and learning renowned throughout the continent, Col- onial architecture attained impres- sive deveicpment in Cordoba, in- fluenced in particular by the work of the distinguished Jesuit archit- ects, Fathers Primoli and Bianchi, Although it has been transform- ed into a modern city, the third largest in the Republic and capital of Cordoba Province, much of the colonial section centering around Plaza San Martin has been pre- served, with graceful portals, flow- er-filled patios, carved wooden balconies and wrought iron grilles, for which Cérdoba is famous, all teminiscent of old Spain. The Ca- thedral, is one of America’s. finest examples of Spanish colonial arch- itecture; the Cabildo or Town Hall, and the Obispo Chapel, first chapel built in Cérdoba, in 1573 and at one time the Archbishop’s vesidence, face the main plaza. Al- so of architectural ahd _histrical interest are the house of Viceroy. Sobremonte, constructed in 1700 snd now the Provincial Museum, and the impressive colonial man- sion of the Allende family. Many of Cérdoba’s churches-out- standing among them the Jesuit church of La Compaiiia — are not- ed for their interesting architect- ure, richly decorated interiors, and exquisit craftsmanship in goldleaf, wood and stone ¢arving. In the church of Santo Domingo, the beautiful Altar of the Virgin dates back to 1592 and is a great at- traction to visitors, as is a flag which crossed the Andes with the Liberator San Martin, which can be seen there also. On October 7, Day of the Virgin of the Rosary, a rare collection of church jewels are displayed to the public. That is the only day of the year in which the valuable gems can be seen. La Merced Church, which was completely restored, is famous for its hand-carved colonial pul- pit and candelabra. El Pilar, one of the first churches erected in Cérdoba, is an outstanding exam- ple of colonial architecture. Crossing the Primero River, which runs through the city, over several bridges leading the newer section called Alta Cérdoba (Up- per Cérduba), the visitor arrives in a completely modern, beautiful city, in which signs of progress are found everywhere. Sarmiento Park, with its rose garden, zoo, aquar- ium, high waterfall and fine views of the city, attracts thousands of visitors, who also enjoy strolling through the extraordinary tree- arched Paseo de Sobremonte. The regional branch of the Min- istry of Public Health in Cérdoba deals with public health problems, and has maternity and infant cen- ters, with an inspection system in- stituted for the control of child- ren’s health; child nutrition cen- ters, as well as specialized institu- tions providing free medical assist- ance to the poor. The hospitals, all of which have free accomoda- tions for those who cannot pay, are among the best in the country and in all of Latin America.

Teh-ah-troh SDAILY WASHINGTON, April 22 (UP) — The appointment of Roy Rubot- tom for the State Department Of- fice in charge of Latin American Affairs has been received with open approval in diplomatic, poli- tical and economic circles, since President Eisenhower announced it last Tuesday. The general reaction indicates the Senate will confirm the ap- pointment when reopening its acti- vities after the Easter adjourn- ment, although some of the politic- ians are desillusioned. Among the diplomats, the ap- pointment has strengthened the impression that President Kisen- hower intends to continue direct- ing, personally and actively, the policy of, relations with the other nations of America; the same at- titude he adopted when, during last year, he attended the Ameri- can Presidents Conference at Pa- nama’s capital. It is expected also that his con- tact with the American Ambassa- dors to the White House will be intensified in regard to the Goy- ernment world’s policies. Rubottom is considered an out- standing: administrative official, who masters the Spanish language and who has acquired a vast and diverse international experience in the Navy, in which he was a Com- mander during World War II. He has done well in serving diplomat- MIAMI SPRINGS, FLA., TUESDAY, APRIL 23, 1957 Know thy Rubottom’s Appointment Neighbor |Favorably Received by Washington Diplomats in the Department of State proper- ly, in charge of Mexican Affairs and as Director of the Office of Middle America Affairs (of recent creation in the State Department which embraces México, Central America and the Countries of the Antilles). Rubotton’s appointment is not believed to involve any change in regard to the policies related to Latin America, as the activities and speeches of this official, dur- ing the last years, have indicated his intentions to complement the Government’s present Program for America, Some observers consider that, possibly, the Undersecretary of State, Christian Herter, will pay more attention to Latin America in the Government’s high level po- licies. Other observers, although they do not criticize any personality, believe that the United States “diplomatic front” in which ‘it re- fers to Latin America, is not pre- cisely ideal from the Organization’se| view point. This is due to disper- sion of international functions in all the Government’s departments and organisms and to the absence of a single center that would at- tract public attention and interest in regard to the extreme import- ance of Hemisphere Affairs. As a result of all this, the American Re- publics look up to the White House in search of foundations ie posts in Bogota and Madrid and Argentina Embarks in Intensive Drive. to Attract More Tourists BUENOS AIRES (UP)— Argen- tina has embarked on an inten- sive drive to attract more foreign tourists as a means of easing its estimated $250 million hard currency deficit, official sources said. Earthquake Causes Panic in Several Colombian Cities BOGOTA, April 22 (UP)— Co- lombia’s worst earthquake in se- ven years shook the northern and eastern portions of this country yesterday, rocking tall buildings here and causing panic in some places, There was no report on casualt- ies or serious damage. The quake, which occurred about 4 P. M,, centered 225 miles north of here, It was felt in the north- eastern cities of Bucaramanga, Pamplona and Cticuta and in the Central mountains. In Bogota, the quake was most noticeable im tall buildings. The motion was sufficient to set chan- deliers swaying and jiggle venet- ian blinds. Panic was most pro- nounced in Bucaramanga, which was heavily damaged in the quake of June 8, 1950. Hundreds of Bu- caramangans fled from their homes into the streets, where many of them fell to their knees, In fact, however, the shock felt in the provincial cities was “very light” — even less than in Bogota. for their basic policies, Pointing out that Canada, Cu- ba and México earned $690 mil- lion from tourists last year and that western Europe’s share of the tourist cake had amounted to $530 million, the National Tourist Of- fice here said Argentina’s $1,500, 000 slice was insignificant by com- parison. All of South America earned on- Ty $25 million from tourism last year, the office said. Argentina’s campaign for more tourists will be financed partly by a share of the earnings of the na- tional gambling casinos. According to Tourist Office sources, the drive will seek to take wider advantage of the reversed seasons between the Southern and Northern Hemispheres which of- fers such strong attractions as ski- ing here while summer is at its hottest in northern latitudes. The Tourist Office also will in- vite Delegations, from obther na- tions, to serve Argentina’s tourist attractions a dnerturn home to spread the good word. Special sporting and folklore events will be organized and Ar- gentina will widen its participa- tion in international travel exhi- bition and cultural exchange pro- grams. The National Tourist Office it- self will be reorganized in an ef- fort to increase its effectiveness. One of the main obstacles to be surmounted is the shortage of ho- tel accommodations in Argentina’s principal cities and tourist centers. A survey showed that Buenos ay LIMA, April 22 (UP)— Presi- dent Manuel Prado received the Grand Croix of the Order of the British Empire, granted him by Queen Elizabeth, on her birthday. It was delivered to him at the Government Palace, British Ambassador, W. H. Mon- tague. Pollock and President Pra- do exchanged speeches. Prado, |thanking for the distinction con- ferred upon him, said: _ ‘To me, this constitutes a signi- ficant testimony of friendship from the. great nation you repre- sent, which has had constant his- torical opportunity to demonstrate indomitable energy in the strug- gle for freedom and democracy, giving the world admirable testi- monies of heroism and valor. My Policies will continue the same as yesterday of sincere friendship to- ward your tountry, which has al- ways been outstanding as a ruler of human destinies, position of great trasscendence today for the free peoples of all contin- entes.” Casals Presents Problems to Artist Luis Quintanilla SAN JUAN, Puerto Rico (UP) —Spanish artist Luis- Quintanilla found his most difficult assign- ment in realizing his 19-year am- bition to paint a portrait of Pablo Casals, the cello virtuoso, before he suffered a heart attack. Quintanilla came to Puerto Ri- co to get Casals, to pose for him, but found that the maestro was so busy with preparations for the Ca- sals Festival here, April 22 to May 8, that he would consent to sit for Quintanilla only while he was rehearsing. “Besides, that’s the only way it will be a natural picture,” he told the artist. Quintanilla agreed, but he dis- covered that Casals becomes so en- grossed in the music he plays that his face is a kaleidoscope of chang- ing emotions. Besides, the private concerts were so captivating to Quintanilla that he would often forget to paint. For seven days he struggled to commit to canvas a fixed impres- sion of the bobbing, weaving, changing face of the 80-yeartold cellist. Finally, ,it was. finished. With hesitation, the painter turned the easel for Casals to get his first glimpse of the portrait. Casals frowned. “It’s a good portrait,” he said, “but there’s something wrong about it. “The bow — it should be about a full inch longer.” Quintanilla lengthened the. bow. The portrait is now on display at the Puerto Rico Institute of Cul- ture. It will be exhibited at the Wildenstein Gallery.

Also, the local Mortgage Bank loaned over $2 Aires has only 2,751 hotel rooms million for hotel building last available, or just about as many as year. ‘ HEMISPHERIC EVENTS Latin American News in COLOMBIA TO BUY U. S. SURPLUSES BOGOTA, Colgmbia (UP)— Co- lombia will buy $20,400,000 worth of United States farm surpluses un- der an agreement signed between both countries. The agreement, subscribed by U. S. Ambassador Philip W. Bonsal and Colombian Foreign Minister José Manuel Rivas Sacconi, calls for delivery to Colombia of 150,- 000 tons of wheat, 21,000 tons of cottonland lesser amounts of fats and oils. Colombia will pay 40 per cent of the value of the goods in cash. The balance will be covered by a Joan in local currency to finance a farm development program. Tt was the third agreement of its kind concluded between the two countries, HELP ASKED FOR U, S. FISHERMEN WASHINGTON (UP)— Mary Schulam, Assistant Attorney Gen- eral of Florida, has urged the U. S. Government to “come to the res- cue” of fishermen whose boats are seized on the high seas by foreign countries. She told a House Fisheries Sub- committee that 55 shrimp boats have been seized by México in the Gulf of México since 1950. She said the owners suffered losses of $1,- 000 to $7,000 each — not count- ing fines imposed on them. She said a 1954 law provides reimburse- ment for fines. Miss Schulman was among a group of congressmen and other witnesses from coastal states urg- ing passage of a bill authorizing the Treasury Department to reim- burse fishermen for losses result- ing from foreign seizure on the high seas. ‘ A.W. Anderson, chief of com- mercial fisheries in the United States Fish and Wildlife Service, endorsed the bill. Thomas OD. Rice, executive se- cretary of the Massachusetts Fish- ieries Association, said the State Department’s “passive attitude” to- wards illegal seizures had “led to a complete breakdown of interna- tional law with respect to protect- ing the rights of fishermen to fish the high seas.” SPECIAL POWERS IN EFFECT IN CHILE SANTIAGG, Chile (UP)— Spe- cial powers granted President Car- los Ibdfiez by congress went into effect for a two-month period, For the next 60 days, Ib4fiez will be empowered to censor the press, radio and telecommunications, re- strict the right of assembly, search homes without warrant and detain or transport any person within Chi- lean territory.

He urged editors to collaborate in the task of pacification and to be moderate in their attacks on “oF SANTIAGO, Chile, April 22 — (UP)— All members of President, General Carlos Ibéfiez Cabinet submitted their resignations, ac- cording to information given by the Minister of Interior, Colonel Benjamin Videla, The collective resignations are the result of last week guberna- mental crisis caused by the arrest of four lawyers, who charged mem- bers of the Police Department with destruction of the “Horizonte” printing shop’s installations, which plant was operated by the Com- munist Party.

But the word spread and a crowd of teen- agers gathered at the burial ground. There was no report of casualt- ies or arrests in the cemetery in- cident. One student was arrested by police who caught him litter- ing’ the streets of suburban Veda- do with railroad spikes. Rodriguez was one of four young Cubans, including a wanted mur- -derer, killed by police Saturday in a Vedado apartment which also housed a rebel arms cache. The others slain included Juan P. Carbé, long-sought triggerman in the assassination Iast year of Col. Antonio Blanco Rico; José M. Rodriguez, a member of the “suicide squads” that attacked the Cuban palace last month, and Eu- genio Pérez. The men opened fire on police when they tried to arrest them in a second-floor apartment one block from the swank Montmartre night club, where Blanco Rico was assas- sinated Oct. 28. Rodriguez, became president of the revolutionary students’ federa- tion when its previous president, José Antonio Hechevarria, was killed in the abortive attack on the government last month. Police said Hechevarria led the rebel group which seized a suburban radio station and forced its per sonnel to broadcast fictitious “vie- tory” bulletins announcing that the anti-Batista group had seized control of the palace. Police said two men fled the apartment and escaped. Police reported that Juan Nuiry second vice president of the stud- ent federation who presumably will succeed Rodriguez as presi- dent, has taken diplomatic asylum in the Mexican Embassy here.
