AS REFLECTED IN NEWS REPORTS There. is-no place where the crisis humanity is con- fronting is:felt more than in a newspaper, where reports from the whole world are received, reports which are re- fletting, during the last few days, the existence of a ‘sorrowful situation which, with plenty of reason, should alarm, or, at. least. cause great concern, to all those who have a.sense of responsibility. s) -It-is very. important to eall public attention to the existence of this situation, in order that people with common sense in all: the countries of the world do whatever they ‘ean to prevent incidents within the social organism that may cause great harm to the community in general. interests and persons of the ‘There .are disasters determined by Nature, which humanity is practically impotent to prevent.

Sefiora Quan is a lawyer, an edu- cator and femenine leader in her country. Since 1954 she is repre- senting Guatemala at the United Nations General Assembly. Dr. de la Llera, after congratulat- ing the new President for her vic- tory, invited the Commission to hold its next meeting in Havana. MIAMI SPRINGS, FLA., THURSDAY, JUNE 6, 1957 Fifteen Killed, Five ¢ Injured in Political Clashes in Colombia Death of Spanish Housekeeper for Rojas Pinilla Family Investigated by Police Know thy Neighbor By ANTONIO RUIZ VENEZUELA — The Orinoco River extends for about 1,500 miles through Northern South America, starting in the Parima Mountains in Southwestern Venezuela, flow- ing first to the northwest, then to the north, forming part of the boundary between Venezuela and Colombia. Then it turns east along the Venezuelan Plains and spreads like-a fan into a great delta as it enters the ocean. Intrepid explores once fought its currents, suffering great hardships as they searched for the fabulous Manoa — the city of El Dorado, or the Gilded Man — alleged site of great treasures in gold. Manoa was the objective of the avaricious, the adventurous and the glory seek- ers. Its location might have been questioned, but its existence was accepted as truth. High in the Co- lombian Andes, there is a lake called -Guatavita, and long ago there was a Lord of Guatavita, who once every year covered himself with gold dust and in an elaborate ceremony threw dazzling offerings of gold and silver into the lake. His gifts and similar ones brought by his subjects were for his lovely wife who had drowned herself in the lake, and who came to be re- garded as.a kind. of goddess, This was the origin of the legend of El Dorado, but the stories be- came so distorted as time went on that. when the Spaniards finally reached the province -of El Dorado, they did not recognize it. In 1499, Alonso de Ojeda, using a map drawn by Columbus himself, may have been the first white man to see the great Orinoco delta. Of the many to probe the mysteries of the great river, the first was Diego de Ordaz; another, and the most familiar in the United States, was Sir Walter Raleigh. Diego de Ordaz was the first Eu; ropean actually to penetrate the Orinoco country, When he set out in 1531 to battle the currents of that mighty river, he had an ink- ling of the difficulties that lay be- fore him, for he had explored with Cortés. After many obstacles, in- eluding large and small rapids to be passed, he reached Carichana, hundreds of miles up stream near the mouth of the Meta, a large tri- butary flowing from the west. Here, he and his men rested, repaired their boats and replenished provi- sions. Here also, they heard tales of the rich: peoples who lived in the eastern slopes of the Andes. Again they started up the Orinoco, but the Altures rapids forced them to turn back. They then attempted to go up the Meta, but the dry sea- son had come, and the stream was little more than mud in many pla- ces. Ordaz. returned downstream to the. Gulf of Paria, determined to reach the “Province of Meta” by an overland route, but he had not reckoned with revolt. By his con- stant and unnecessary cruelty to .the Indians, he had alienated his men, and by his extravagant claims he had come into conflict with cer- tain Spanish authorities at Cuba- gua, an island off the coast of Ve- nezuela, He was arrested by the Alcalde of Cubagua and the two set out for Santo Domingo to have their quarrel settled by authorities there. They continued their trip to Spain, but Diego de Orddz died on the way, and legend has it that he was poisoned by the Alcalde himself. Spanish Version.

The violence wave started Mon- day at 5:30 p.m. when an uniden- tified person killed consewative leader Azarias Vargas in Central Street of that town. Vargas’ friends and followers went out seeking vengeance, and a series of clashes between conservatives and liberals took place, leaving the above mentioned number of dead and wounded and four houses burned to the ground. The priest of Caicedonia said in a telephone conversation that the measures adopted by the Ci- vil-Military Chief, Alberto Gomez Arenas, saved the town from great- er disaster, because the troops sent from several points soon con- trolled the situation and re-estab- lished order. ROJAS’ HOUSEKEEPER DEATH INVESTIGATED BOGOTA, June 5 —(UP)—The death of Maria del Carmen Jimé- nez Gonzalez, Spanish citizen who was housekeeper for the family of ousted President Gustavo Rojas Pinilla, is under investigation, ac- cording to an’ official communi- qué. Her death took place two weeks ago when she was returning from the summer residence’ of the Rojas Pinilla family in Melgar, after she had conversations with Maria Eu- genia de Moreno Diaz, Rojas Pi- nilla’s daughter. According to the communiqué, the investigation was ordered by the Government in view of “spec- ulation and widespread comments” made about her death. Accord- ing to reports, Maria del Carmen | was killed when the vehicle in which she was returning to Bogo- ta, accompanied by two soldiers, crashed. She was 40 years old, and had been hired in Spain to come to Colombia and act as housekeeper in the Presidential Palace. She had no relatives in Colombia. She saw Mrs. Moreno Diaz in Melgar, and was planning to go to Vene- zuela. Her tragic death after talking with the ex-dictator’s daughter, has been the subject of numerous speculations in the streets. Among the many versions, there is one affirming’ she could have been the victim of persons who wanted to steal from her a jewel given her by the ousted President’s daught- er, SANTOS RETURNS BOGOTA, June 5 — (UP) — Eduardo Santos, ex-President of the Republic and owner-publisher of “El Tiempo”, returned yester- day to publish his newspaper, which will re-appear next Satur- day. “El Tiempo” was closed by the deposed dictator Gustavo Rojas Pinilla in. August, 1955. When Rojas Pinilla was ousted, Santos announced that the paper would reappear on June 8, as an homage to the Colombian students who played a decisive role in the ci- vilian campaign that overthrew General Rojas Pinilla. June 8 is a traditional date for Colombia students, because on that date, in two different years, sev- eral university students died in clashes with ,Government forces, Hundreds of friends went to the airport to welcome Santos, headed by Guillermo Leén Valen- cia, Civilian Front Candidate for President, and Alberto Lleras Ca- margo, one of the Front leaders and head of the Liberal Party. Lleras Camargo Insists Colombia Must Have Elections for Congress BOGOTA, June 5 (UP)— Ex President Alberto Lleras Camargo, Chief of the Liberal Party and Di- rector of the Civlian Liberal-Con- servative Front, insisted in his proposal made to the Government Military Junta, for elections to in- meerate the national Congress. The Junta announced that elec- tions will be held next year, to choose a President: on the nation for the term 1958-1962 on ‘ the same day in which it took over the reins, substituting General Gustavo Rojas Pinilla. However, the Junta has hot made any declaration about convoking elections for members of Congress. Lleras made his declaration when commenting the pact which result- ed in the unity of the Conservative party and said that this agreement assures that the civilian front, in- tegrated by the two traditional po- litical parties of the country, will permit a speedy return to restora- tion of democratic institutions. Lleras has proposed, more than fifteen days ago, that elections for members of a Congress, in which the two political parties would have equal representation, should be convoked. He declared that the Conservative unity makes possible this election, which he considers necessary, as the Congress, pop- ularly - elected, would collaborate with the Military Junta for full re- storation of democracy in Colom- bia. The Conservative unity was real- ized ratifying the candidacy of Guillermo Leén Valencia, Conser- vative politician, for the Presiden- cy of the Republic during the term 1958-1962. This candidate is also backed by the Liberals and for this reason, Valencia is considered vir- tually elected President of the Re- public. ——s Venezuela Cannot Grant Loans Yet Minister States CARACAS (SICO) — The Min- ister of Foreign Relations, Dr, Jo- sé Loreto Arismendi, when com- menting news about a loan that Venezuela would grant to the gov- ernment of Ecuador, declared: “The President of the Republic, General Marcos Pérez Jiménez, has shown his desire to aid in the solu- tion of the most urgent economic problems of American nations, as demonstrated with the proposal he made, during the Panama’s Pre- sidential Conference, for the crea- tion of a common economic fund for such purpose. While this pro- posal is pending — constituting, as it does, a pledge of contribution by the Venezuelan government — it would not be possible for the government to aid or grant loans to other nations. Only in the case that the proposition presented at Panama would not be accepted by the majority of the State or, for any other reason, could not be- come a reality, the government of Venezuela could think of aiding an- other country. It is in view of this last possibility, the President be- lieves that the application for aid made by Ecuador could be consid- ered. To this end Committees of technicians are making pertinent studies and when their respectives reports are finished the President will decide whatever he believes should be done. Atomic’ Reactor to be Installed in Puerto Rico SAN JUAN, Puerto Rico, June & (UP)— Sol Luis Descartes, Di- rector of Hydraulic Resources of the Puerto Rican Government, re- vealed today that, in 1962 at the latest, an atomic reactor of 20,000 KW will be installed in the island for the production of electricity. The production of that nuclear unit will be incorporated to the commercial system of the island. The site of the installation has not*been decided yet, but it is pro- hable that it will be near Maya- giiez. Although the cost has not been revealed, the Atomic Energy Com- mission requested from the United States Congress nine million dol- lars for the reactor. Descartes pointed out the im- portance the reactor will have for Puerto Rico, both for the training of technicians in the use of com- mercial reactors of greater capaci- ty and the studies of the Atomic Center of the University of Puer- SDAILY Cuban Army for HAVANA, June 5 — (UP) — The Army issued a communiqué | denying the persistent rumors that the Air Force is bombing and machine-gunning the rebel forces hide-out in Sierra Maestra. The communiqué says the only aerial activity in the zone until now, has ‘been that of “scouting flights”. The communiqué —the first re- port about the military operations begun four days ago— makes only the above declaration, but does not say that the Government does not intend to use aerial bombing in the campaign of extermination against the enemies of President Fulgencio Batista’s regime. The text of the communiqué contradicts the declarations of Cu- ban newspapermen and _photo- graphers returniig to Havana from Santiago de Cuba, capital of the agitated Oriente . Province where Sierra Maestra is located, who said the explosions were heard very distinctly last Satur- day. The communiqué disagrees also with the protests of farmers and civic institutions as well as with the evacuation in mass of the region’s civilians. The communiqué, signed by the Army’s Chief of Staff, Major Gen- eral Francisco Tabernilla, points out that the Army does not in- tend to use mustard gas in its operations and that the Cuban Army’s arsenal does not have stock of these bombs. Meanwhile, a subcommittee of the Interparlamentary Commission which, since two months ago, is making efforts for approval of a formula of political peace, adopted a motion of “cease fire”, which will be submitted to the Commis- sion. This motion is aimed to ob- tain that the Government, as well as the rebels, agree to discontinue all operations and wait for a pol- Air Force is Bombing Sierra Maestra Hideouts Parliament Commitee Opens Negotiations Cessation of Hostilities [Member ner Armeroan| Inter American | | Member ner American Associ¢tion © e For Liberty, Culture an | Hemispherik., Solierty s ball NUMBER 274 Denies that ae in Island sis. The motion also says:that the subcommittee should visit Sierra Maestra to interview rebel chief- tain, Fidel Castro. All coastwise shipping was ban- ned from Manzanillo south and east around Cape Cruz to Santiago, cap> ital of troubled Oriente ‘province.

An American arrested~ by ‘po- lice at Bayamo, in the heart of the rebel-infested area, was transfer- red to the Santiago city prison to await trial on charges of antigov. ernment activities. The Americas, identified as William C. Leonard, 27, of North Miami, Fla., was re- ported to have been armed whea arrested. Police said Leonard claimed iia was trying to get in touch with Charles Ryan, a 20-year-old youth who ran away from the U. S. Guan: tanamo Naval Base to join the Castro rebel forces.
