It was called in the Quechua language “Intiwasi,” or House of the Sun, and was one of the few buildings that were not totally de- stroyed by the Spanish conquerors. Upon its marvelous walls the Monastery of Santo Domingo was erected, but there are still com- plete portions that permit a re- construction of the splendid struc- ture which served as model for all other temples of the sun built in every town which, under the rule of the Incas, was governed from Cuzco.

In the original work of the “Simon Bolivar”: symphonic work, there is a note written by Vicente Emilio Sojo, the Director of the Venezuelan Symphonic Orchestra. The Venezuelan Maestro writes to the daughter of the composer: “T have read with great interest the work composed by your hono- rable father, Don Alfeo Sturolo, to the memory of Liberator Si- m6n Bolivar. The nobility and majesty of his intention is evident from the first measures; the struc- ture carries the theme of a very generous way of thinking, and the orchestration is impressiona- bly brilliant.” Mrs. Sturolo said that they are trying to arrainge so that the con- sert of the 17th can be trans- mitted by radio from New York City. She added that the consert will be repeated several days la- ter in Brooklyn by the same or- merican nounced that their Executive Com- mittee will meet in Havana on the 15th of February as a preliminary to their 11th conference, which was convoked for the months of April and May of next year in Miami. |of the voting power among mem- ber countries.

PUERTO RICANS RELEASE REQUESTED IN SAN JUAN SAN JUAN. P. R. (UP)— Fe- deral District Attorney for Puer- to Rican R. Rodriguez asked the Federal District Court of San Juan to dismiss the indictment against 11 alleged communist leaders in Puerto Rico whichs has been pend- ing since Oct. 2954, for conspiracy to violate the Smith Act. Rodriguez said he asked for the dismissal because “the U.S. Sup- teme Court decision in the yates case’ made a successful prosecu- or | of Brazil, will be the committee’s | He said he is certain the cu- versive intervention in the inter- versive interventon in the inter- nal affairs of other nations will never suceed in the Americas”. Rubottom also reiterated an ear- |lier U.S. suggestion that Latin American nations spend less mo- ney on military programs, so that they can concentrate more on try- ing to raise their standard of liv- ing. Treasury Secretary Robert B. | Anderson made the same sugges- tion at the Buenos Aires Economic Conference last August. “The first and foremost point to remember is that the communists by themselves represent no im- mediate threat to the Latin Ame- rican countries themselves, nor to United States national security, for they are in no position any- where in the hemisphere to gain power through !egitimate means”, the Secretary said. He admitted, however, that com- munists are openly trying, through “fronts”, to gain strength in the American republics, and said: “The number of party members apparently varies between a few communists —as is the case of Central America— and from 50. gentina, respectively. The total has been estimated in less that 200.- 000, out numbers frequently do not represent the influence they have” Referring to recent reports of Soviet offers ‘to exchange man- ufactured products for Latin Ame- rican raw materials, Rubottom said: “As businessmen you know that from the moment an offer is made until the transaction is completed there is a long way to go. We should maintain the facts as we know them As prospects, that is, He pointed out that, in 1957, Latin American trade with the So- viet olock decreased 12 percent, and that this trade with the So- viets represents little more than one, percent of the total Latin American trade. This one percent was concentrated mainly in four countries, Argentina Brazil, Cuba and Uruguay. Expressing his belief that no- where in the hemisphere the com- munists are in a position to gain power, he mentioned the religious spirit of Latin Americans, who have a deep faith in God and spi- ritua) values of free men. He said another factor is “human intel- ligence”, and recalled that Latin American representatives at the U.N.. in the name of human rights and human dignity, tried to.save the life of Hungarian freedom leaders arrested for trying to save their country from red oppression. He said Soviet attempts to in- timidate the free world with the sputniks have had no effect in Latin American Republics and men- tioned also as an important fae- tor against communism in the Ame- ricas “the cultural exchange and ever increasing cooperation among the American Republics, based on centuries-old bonds which unite 000 to 80.000 in Brazil and Ar. | This plan would, in effect, leave to the U.S. the mission to provide the whole Western Hemisphere |with a defense system Those pro- | posing the plan claim that this si- | tuation exists in fact at the pre- sent and that, -with the relatively low technical capacity of Latin America, it would not be realistic to hope for any change. For this reason they argue that instead of continuing to build up ‘antiquated establishments for mi- tion of the case unlikely”. The defendants last August fil- ed a motion for dismissal of the indictment on the basis of the Yates decision but federal judge Clemente Ruiz never acted on their motion.

TERRITORIAL WATERS A THORNY PROBLEM WASHINGTON, (UP)— Senator Warren G. Magnusen said that he has requested the State Depart- ment for information on the Un- ited States position on the ques- tion of territorial ' waters, The Washington democrat said he wants to be fully informed of the preparatory work for the In- ternational Conference on Territo- rial waters scheduled to take place in Geneva next month, Magnusen, Chairman of the Sen- ate Interstate and Foreign Com- merce Committee, has long favor- ed the holding of such a con- ference, He frequently pointed out that lack of agreement,on a un- iform definition of territorial limits was jeapardizing the good relations between the United States and them”. Vast Peace Program, Arms Reduction Plan for Latin American Republics litary arms, the Latin American Republics should recognize that: their defense is inadequate if fac- ed with a modern war and try to consentrate in the field where their efforts give better results: eco- nomic development. The plan recommends a general reduction in expenses in order to leave more money for industry, education, and public health. Through this change in policy, the plan hopes to strengthen defense against the economic penetration of Russia. According to authorized sour- ces, the Costa Rican Ambassador will ask the OAS Council. of which he is Vice-President, to appoint a special disarmament Committee to \take charge of studying a plan which will cover following points. (1) A promise from the Latin American countries to not cons- true nuclear wapons or purchasé them from foreign countries; (2) A promise from the U.S. to not give nuclear weapons to the Latin American countries, which would not eliminate the establish- ment, in Latin America, of U.S. ba- ses for launching guided missils with atomic charges; (3) A promise from the Latin American countries to not buy arms from countries outside the Hemis- phere; (4) A promise from the U.S. and Latin American countries who manufacture regular weapons to not ‘sell or lease them to other countries in quantities which ex- ceed what can be considered as suf- fictent for interval security; (5 Set the number of land, na- val, and air forces which each naion may possess, taking into account their size, population, geo- graphical location, coast and other outstanding. situations; (6’ Estabiish an adequate sys- tem of supervising weapons and inspecting military movements and installations of the same type, in order ‘o guarantee the fulfillment .|of the obl'gations imposed by the disarmament Committee; (7 Give mure importance to civil engineering and public works of the Latin American Armed For- ces for creating centers for pre- paring specialized personnel. ; It is understood that a draft of the plan has been submitted to, some Latin American countries. lthe majority of the Foreign Offices of the countries.
