Estab- lished four years ago, on June 7 every year tribute is paid in all the continent to the expression of thought, pointing out the great need that all meaning of freedom of the citizens of the Americas defend that freedom, which is so essential for the existence of other freedoms. The Inter American Press Association is, without doubt, one of the most solid strongholds of continental democracy, because, being the institution struggling to maintain free- dom of the press, in fact becomes defender of the demo- cratic ideals which have in protection. that freedom their greatest More than five hundred newspapers in the Western Hemisphere are exalting today, with vehemence, the cul- tural, professional and ideological values which are the root of the program that gave life to IAPA and which justifies its existence. And many millons of persons, more than fifty million which constitute the readers of those newspapers, according to reliable statistics, are lending their support and good will to the motive of that celebration of great continental scope. In its constant struggle in defense of freedom of the press, the IAPA has achieved many victories, including in those triumphs even the attacks of which it has been the target, because those attacks, considering their nature and intentions, lend prestige to that organization whose membership includes the great majority of the newspapers of America. The cause which brings forth greater esteem and respect for the Inter American Press Association (IAPA) is the policy it sustains in political matters, which is only in regard to the free expression, as for obvious reasons, in- cluded in its by-laws, IAPA neither can nor should inter- fere, as an institution, in the internal political affairs of any country. For that reason, it has been noted that it has taken action only in that which refers to freedom of the press. In this simbolic date for the democratic journalism of our continent, THE AMERICAS DAILY, in its character of member of the Inter American Press Association, makes sincere vows that press freedom does not suffer any more harm in the length and width of this Hemisphere, which is the hope of humanity, for the prestige of the people of the New World, for their own wellbeing and as an example to the nations subjugated by communist totalitarianism, in which there are no other voices of the press than those which reflect and interpret the will of the government. Mystery of 20 Goid Bars Found in “Plane Wreckage By JOSEPH TAYLOR (United Press Staff Correspondent) . ) RIO DE JANEIRO (UP)— Twen- ty solid gold bars, rumors of smug- giing and political intrigue, and the question of ownership of the gold are the ingredients of a mystery that has been the talk of Brazil for the past two months. The gold, whose worth has not been estimated officially, was found April 7 in the wreckage of a backwoods Brazilian airliner that crashed on a flight from Bage to Porto Alegre. All 40 persons aboard were kill- ed in the crash and the fire that followed. The wreckage was so en- tangled that it was impossible im- mediately to determine which pas- senger had been carrying the gold bars. The police of three nations tack- led the task of trying to determine the origin of the Treasure. The problem now rests in the hands of the Brazilian courts, and the gold rests in a safe at the Varig airlines office in Bage pending a decision on its ownership. The first theory advanced by po- lice was that the gold belonged to one of the international smug- glers that operate along the bor- ATOMIC SCIENTISTS IN RESEARCH VISIT TO AMAZON JUNGLE WASHINGTON (UP)— The Atomic Energy Commission said a group of American scientists will leave soon for the Amazon jungle to try to determine how fast radio- active fallout is absorbed by hu- man beings. An AEC official said a contract authorizing the survey was signed last Friday. The purpose will be to find an area where people are living en- tirely on locally-grown plant and animal food, In most civilized communities, food comes from so many places that no exact measure can be made of absorption of fallou poi- sons from any particular source, it was indicated. The radio-active poison most sought for measurement is tron- tium-90, which can cause bone can- cer. Dr. J. L.. Kulp, of Columbia Uni- versity’s Lamont Geological Labor- ai.2y said Jast week that it would be well to test plants, animals and human absorption of radio-active atomic materials in an area where all food was locally produced and where the calcium in the soil had been heavily leached. Baffles Brazilians ders of Argentina, Uruguay and Brazil. This belief was supported by the fact that other items found in the wreckage included 11 watch- es and 13 portable typewriters. Imported watches and_ typewrit- ers are only slightly less valuable than pure gold in Brazil. Police in this country and in Uruguay are still trying to sort out these items as well as the gold bars. Police in Argentina got into the act when the newspaper La Ma- fiana, of Montevideo, came up with the theory that Carlos A. Viggiano, the only Argentine on the plane, was carrying the gold from Bage to Rio de Janeiro to finance the subversive activities of Peronist re- fugees. Ultimately, police decided that Viggiano was neither a Peronist nor the owner of the gold, and that line of investigation was drop- ped. ors linking it treasure, No claimant for the gold ap- peared for more than a month, Early in May, however, an attorney came forward with the claim that the gold belonged to Jacinto Co- rrea, who was bringing it in from Uruguay for “private reasons,” In a petition asking that the gold with the mystery the attorney argued that the Braz- ilian businessman could not be con- sidered a smuggler because no law forbids imports of gold into Brazil. The petition is pending in the courts. Cuban Government Buys Bloodhounds WEST PALM BEACH, Fla. (UP) — Cuban government officials pur- chased five bloodhounds they plan to use for tracking down rebels hid- ing in the hills in Cuba it was re- ported today. Emry Pickren, a private detec- tive and former deputy sheriff who raises and trains bloodhounds, said the Cubans flew here Monday in a dogs, and took them back to Cu- ba. ‘ Pickren said the five dogs were offspring of Old Holmes, a blood- hound famhous in this area for trail- ing fugitives from prison farms and jails. Picken said the dogs purchased by the Cubams were trained for tracking. He did not: identify the officials, but said they told him the dogs would be used to flush re- ba.

France fought wars against most of the powers of Eu- rope from 1792 until 1802. Hostili- ties broke out between the Unit- ed States and France between 17- 98 and 1800. A separate Franco- British war was started early in 1803 and was not concluded until after Haiti had won its independ- ence, The slaves of Haiti revolted in August 1791 and for a short time controlled the colony. The French garrison and the planters were able to put down the rebellion, how- ever, and wholesale reprisals fol- lowed. Toussaint Louverture, a slave who had learned to read and was later to lead his people in or- ganized resistance, did not take part in the first uprising, but re- mained at the plantation of his owners to protect both their pro- perty and their lives. The savagery of the planters’ reprisals provoked further rebellion, and Toussaint, with an estimated 6,000 followers, Teft the plantation and sought shelter in the mountains. For the next six years Napoleon was busy in Europe, and Toussaint established his rule in Haiti. In 1802, however, Napoleon settled his final differences with the Eu- ropean powers and was free to turn his attention to Haiti. Two years carlier Napoleén had wrest- ed the territory of Louisiana from the Spanish. His plan of a West- ern Hemisphere empire required that he control both Haiti and Lou- isiana,. and that they managed to |complement each other. Revenues | from sugar, coffee, rum and molas- ses of Haiti had made the colony the richest among the French pos- sessions at the end of the 18th. century, but it could not produce food for its own use while pro- ducing for export. The food pro- ducts of a French-controlled Lou- isiana were needed to feed Haiti and to free it from dependence upon the United States. General Le Clerec, Napoleon’s brother-in-law, landed in Haiti in February, 1802, with a force of 25,000 troops and 70 warships with which to destroy Toussaint and re- instate ful French control of the colony. After a series of bitter bat- tles, Toussaint was captured by treachery and sent back to the pri- son of Fort Le Joux in France, where he died in 1803. Christopher, Dessalines and Pe- tion, who had been generals in Le Clere’s army, revolted in October, 1802, and took their troops with them. Dessalines assumed control of the Haitian forces. Meanwhile, the bitter resistance of the Hait- ians and an epidemic of yellow fev- er had decimated the French for- ces. Le Clere died of yellow fever a few weeks later, and Rochambeau was sent to replace him. < The French were also having dif- ficult supply problems. United States merchants refused to sell to them without payment in cash, but offered unlimited supplies to the Haitians in return for the pro- ducts of the island. United States ships were able to carry on a brisk trade with ports under Dessalines’ control, but French ships for Ro- chambeau were intercepted by U. S. forces. Napoleon then decided to liquidate his Western Hemi- sphere possessions, The United States had been pressing for the sale of the city of New Orleans for several months, but negotiations had made little progress. Suddenly, early in 1803, after it had become clear that he could not regain control of Hai- ti, Napoleon offered to sell the entire territory, The agreement was signed on April 30, 1803. Ro- chambeau agreed to surrender a few months later, and Dessalines and 36 other Haitian officers de- clared Haiti’s independence on bels hiding out in the hills of Cu- [panuayy, 1, 1804, ; Spanish Version Page MIAMI SPRINGS, FLA., FRIDAY, JUNE 7, 1957 les Confident OAS Will Find Solution To Nicaragua - Honduras Dispute returning from his country, the Ambassador also said he hopes that none of the two countries will have to appeal to the International Per- manent Court of Justice at. The Hague, to settle their difefrences. Villeda Morales attended the meeting of Central American 'For- eign Ministers held last week in Antigua, Guatemala, in which the Honduran-Nicaraguan frontier pro- blem was discussed. Four proposi- tions submitted by Nicaragua at the meeting, to settle the pro- blem, were rejected by Honduras, which considered them inadequate. The diplomat added that Hon- duras trusts Nicaragua will do everything in her power to find the best solution to the conflict through the Inter-American Pact signed at Bogota in 1948, the pro- visions of which call for the peace- ful solution of all conflicts be- tween the nations of the Ameri- can continent. It is known that the Honduran- Nicaraguan conflict Invstigating Committee, designated by the OAS with the purpose of finding a peaceful solution, will submit a plan based, precisely, on the prin- ciples of the Bogoté Pact, to the litigants. The Committee has until the 23 of June to find a peaceful. agree- ment. If by that date the two na- tions do not settle their differences through the above mentioned In- ter American system, the Commit- tee will suggest they refer the case to the Hague’s International Court. Ambassador Villeda Morales al- so said that his countrymen, on the whole, back the Government Military Junta, with the hope that some peaceful and satisfactory so- lution of the conflict can be reach- ed. He also added that the Junta has guaranteed free elections in the nation as soon as the Constit- uent Assembly fix the date for their celebration. It is expected the Constitutent will meet at the end of the present year Scores Killed and Injured in México as Two Trains Collide CORTAZAR, México, June 6 — (UP)— A freight train crashed against a convoy formed by two passenger trains last night, killing at least 20 persons and injuring more than 30. The accident took place just outside the station here. However, the head of the local Red Cross Ambulance Unit, Soco- tro Manecera, who is directing re- scue operations, estimates that the number of dead may reach 40. None of the figures of dead and injured given could be confirmed by auth- orities. Many of the bodies are un- der wrecked Cars, several of which left the tracks and overturned. It seems that the engineer of the freight train, Pedro del Bosque, is responsible for the tragedy, Ar- rested by the authorities, he admit- ted he did not see the signals that were given to him to stop the train. The majority of the victims are from México City, Son Of Russians Chooses Freedom BUENOS AIRES (UP)— Tizan- cio Orloff, 17-year-old son of Rus- sian immigrants, “chose freedom” here yesterday rather than return with his parents to their home be- hind the iron curtain. Young Orloff, preparing with 27 other Poles and Russians to board the Italian liner Andrea C. for the trip back to Europe, balked at the last moment and fled from the pier. His present whereabouts are unknown, The other returness, shepherd- ed by a tight-lipped Russian who was said to be an official of the Soviet Embassy, sailed on schedule. The Russian escort would say on- ly that the one-time immigrants changed their minds “because workers in Eastern Europe have television sets, cars and refrigerat- ors. They live better than workers ‘in the west.” Rojas Pinilla’s NEW YORK, June 6 (UP)—Ma- ria Eugenia de Moreno Diaz, draughter of ousted President of Colombia Gustavo Rojas Pinilla, de- clared last night she did not give any jewel to Maria del Carmen Gonzalez, Spanish housekeeper who died in. an automobile accident. She said that before she met a tragic death on the highway from Melgar to Bogoté, Mrs, Jiménez Gonzalez had visited her in Mel- gar, where she was under deten- tion, Asked by the reporter on the last statement, Mrs. Moreno Diaz said she had been put under cus- tody “by a minor Army officer, under order of one of the members of the Military Junta,” but she re- fused to vive more details. Turning to the case of Maria del Carmen, she said: ‘I did not give her anything, mor did I see her at the summer UNIVERSITY RECEIVES GIFT OF LAND GUATEMALA — The national Government last week ceded to the University of San Carlos a tract of about ten acres, valued at $300,- 000 which lies next to the Roose-/ velt Hospital Medical Center in Guatemala City.

Perén has ordered his followers to form a Ku Klux Klan-type organization in Argentina to punish his foes. Globo’s Buenos Aires cor- respondent said he had _ seen papers, including letters from Pe- rén’s own hand, ordering agents of the deposed dictator to increase acts of sabotaoge and extend their current radio propaganda cam- paign. “The most impressive of these documents was one referring to an organization called ‘People’s Justice, (whose initials in Span- ish — JDP— are the same as Pe- rén’s). . .” the Globe story said. “This organization was to func- tion in every city or village. . with a secret sign, hoods and initia- tion rites. Each section was em- powered to pass judgment and ex- ecute sentences.” Globo said orders for the crea- tion of JDP authorized its members to “execute the death penalty in any manner” on Perdn’s foes. It said in particular that “all who took part in the disappearance of Eva Perén’s body must die.” The body of Mrs. Perén, who died of cancer in 1952, disappeared from a shrine in Buenos Aires soon after Perén was overthrown in 19- 55.” BRAZILIAN OFFICIAL SEES NO DANGER OF RADIOACTIVE POISON MEXICO CITY (UP)— Adm. Oc- tacilio Cunha, Chairman of Brazil’s Atomic Energy Commission, said radioactive fallout presents no im- mediate danger to humanity. He added, however, that continuation of tests at the present rate might eventually create a risk. “The responsibility rests with the countries now conducting the experiments,” he said. The Brazilian Admiral, in Méxi- co on a goodwill visit, said news- paper reports that radioactive fall- out has invaded several countries are exagyerated. At the same time, however, for- mer Health Minister José Siurob said atomic tests in the United States are spreading radioactive particles over northern and North central México. The Mexican ex-official said the danger is “grave” because north- to-south winds are spreading ra- dio active particles over north- ern and north central México. “México now ranks seventh among nations victimized by radio- activity,” he said. Siurob said he has asked the De- fense Ministry to establish observa- tion stations in the north to meas- ure radio active fallout and ob- serve its. effects. officially opened the eonference Monday.

FREEDOM OF THE PRESS DAY Four years ago the Ninth General Assembly of the Inter- American Press Association voted to set aside June 7 as Freedom of the Press Day. It is a simple and symbolic anniversary. In those countries that enjoy unrestricted freedom of the press, colleagues will gather to commemorate the day and report this fact in their newspapers. They should also report the commemoration to IAPA headquarters, for publication throughout the countries where freedom of the Western Hemisphere. In those press has been restricted the day will be passed in silence as a protest against oppression, The IAPA feels satisfied over the battles won since establish- ment of Freedom of the Press Day. We still have a long road to travel before arriving at our goal, but our strength increases daily and the day is perhaps not far off when we will be able to celebrate. the fact of press freedom throughout our hemisphere. June 7 is to be a day for happy commemoration by some, counting our gains and lossest . silent protest by others, and an example and hope for continental public opinion. Let us join in hailing the triumph of freedom or to denounce its transitory eclipse. Guillermo Martinez Marquez, President, Inter American Press Association U. S.
