PERUVIAN MARKET ADVERTISING TRENDS WASHINGTON — A film on “How to Prepare Better Newspap- er Advertising” was shown recent- ly in Lima, Pert, under the auspi- ces of “La Prensa”, leading local daily.The film was prepared by the National Retail Dry Goods As- sociatic ond the National Advert- ising Executive Association, and the sound-track was translated in- to Spanish for its first South Ame- rican sh-~ing before an audience of over 100 leading advertisers in the Peruvian capital. Presentation was made by Ben Frank, president of Dundes and Frank, Ine., a New York advertis- ing agency, who are consultants to the publisher of “La Prensa”. At a press conference after his return to the United States, Mr. Frank stated that Peruvians have become extremely brand conscious due to the emergence and growth of the middle classes, and as a re- sult, advertising tactics in the na- | tion have changed. Peruvians now }look for American nationally | advertised products in supermar- kets, department stores and -shop- ping centers. Consequently, the number of advertising agencies in the country is ‘»-reasing and many U.S. agencies are establishing branch offices in Pert. Among these are the J. Walter. Thompson, McCann-Erickson, and the Grant Advertising Agencies, all of which have opened Lima branches with- in the past few months. According to Mr. Frank, 34 per cent of all ad appropriations are placed in the dailies and most of the advertising is being placed di- restly by the agencies. The number of local advertisine avencies has quadruvled in the last three years, he said. The layout and copy ap- preeeh of Peruvian advertisements compare favorably in quality with U.S. domestic advertising.

An interesting question that comes up regularly these days is: “What are Holland’s chances? Will he have any opposition? What sort of a campaign will it be?” Any answer that we might have in Washington to those questions | would be put together from four sources. (1) Our mail — both from friends and editors who drop notes our way from time to time. (2) Florida visitors who come to Wash- ington. (Good topic of conversa- tion over a cup of coffee.) (3) Listening to the opinions of other members of the Florida Congres- sional Delegation. (They do talk about it.) (*) Reading the Florida newspapers. And here is what we see over the top of our typewriter. | Most people agree that there are | some under-currents of dissatisfae- tion with Holland here and there throughout the State. It comes principally from a small core of die-hard, new-deal, ultra liberal Democrats, Consensus seems to be that this group would put up a man against Holland if they could find someone they thought could beat him. On the other side of the table, his friends like to “point with pride” to the Senator’s re- cord. Some of the things they point to: Holland’s four years as Gover- nor and 13 years as Senator — 17 years in high public office. Seven- teen years in which to build thou- sands of strong personal friend- ships. (Hard to beat.) His “middle of the road” politic- al posture. When the chips are} down he’s a loyal Democrat. But his voting record is based on his conservative convictions rather than along pure party lines. His positions on the powerful Senate Appropriations Committee (a spot that requires years of sen- iority to win) and as third ranking Democrat on the Senate Agricul- ture Committee (important to Flo- rida). Holland has pulled many a rabbit out of the hat in obtaining money for Florida waterways and flood control projects. His consistent work for the ci- trus and other Florida agricultur- al industries. His fight for the tidelands Act. This may eventually mean millions of dollars for the State coffers. His more recent record on se- gregation. Although not a “rabid” race-baiter, Holland spoke out more boldly and pointedly on the subject in the Senate than any- one other than Georgia’s Dick Rus- sell. The doctors and dentists will choose him over an ultra-liberal; the retail merchants and hotel peo- ple couldn’t find a better hero. Who would run against Holland? Maybe ex-senator Claude Pepper. He acts like he’s running now. But, most people think he’d have trouble roie'-« the necessary mo- ney and many of his former back- ers are also Holland’s close friends. In a race between the two — al- most to a man — these voters would would stick to Holland, the incumbent. Another name men- tioned is'‘that of Ted David, of Mia- mi. The most he coufd expect from a race with Holland would. be a lot of hard work and some state- wide publicity. In fact, anybody who could run a decent race against Holland would have to be already widely known, have above the average political acumen and campaign abi- lity. He would have to be able to raise about half a million bucks campaign money. He’d have to be mighty sharp. In our opinion, anybody who is that smart also would have too Neighbor Commission, Andrade said Latin America, with her great expanses of land, her population and other resources which can be exploited in time of crisis, “means more to the United States, both militarily and economically, than any other part of the world.” Andrade declared, however, that “in the past few months we have seen a very touchy issue threaten thh good feeling between our Sis- ter Republics, It is the renewal in this country of a ‘protective tariff policy that if ii really indirectly subsidizes a high cost of domestic production, it nevertheless badly hits the economies of other Repub- lies. I am referring to the question of the proposed tariffs on ports | of zine and lead.” The Ambassador declared that thousands upon thousands of famil- ies in México, Peri and Bolivia are dependent on the normal pro- | duction and exportation of lead | and zine, adding: “Investments | were made based on the assump-| tion that free trade, without bar- | riers, was going to be the guaran- | tee for a normal flow of exports | and imports, specifically on those of zinc and lead Now we are fac- ed with the threat that a tariff} may make impossible that most of those mines be able to continue) operating. I cannot but sincerely be alarmed, not only by the damag- ing impact tha‘ such a situation will bring to our economies, but also by the strange feeling of dis- trust that may grow in large com- munities of our Americas, a feeling that will undoubtedly be utilized by the enemies of freedom and de- mocracy.” The Bolivian Ambassador warn- ed that if Latin American coun- tries are deprived of their historic markets, a depression of great proportions will take place in those countries, and concluded say- ing: “I mentioned earlier that Lat- in America means more probably to the United States, both militar- ily and economically, than any | other part of the world. I have } emphasized the potential of huge | land mass of this Hemisphere, the | population and other resources which can be drawn upon in times | of crisis. Perhaps, however, I did not make it clear enough that Lat- in America today is a great source of economic strength to the Unit- ed States and the free world. The earnings on Latin American in- vestment in one year alone ap- proximate all that has been given and loaned to Latin America since 1945 — 13 years ago. Your help to Latin America has been like irri- gating fertile soil. Not only does it yield returns in good will but it pays off from the pocketbook standpoint. Economie aid and oth- er assistance to Latin America could be stepped up tremendously simply from the standpoint of good anciers call a capital plant invest- ment. It also could be an invest- ment in the futyte of all who wish to preserve freedom and our West- ern civilization.” Brazil Gets U. S. Check For Atomic Research Work WASHINGTON, Jan. 25 (UP)— The U. S, delivered a check to Brazil for $350,000 to partly pay for the cost of a new Brazilian re- search reactor, valued at $800,000. The announcement was made by the Atomic Energy Commission. This announcement says that the check was deliverd in Sao Paulo, where the reactor will be inau- gurated which is of 5,000 kilowatts. The agent of the Atomic Energy Commission, John F. Floberg, at- tended the ceremony as head of the U.S. delegation. The money was delivered ac- cording to the “Atoms for Peace” program started in 1955 by Presi- dent Eisenhower. The U.S pays half of the cost of the research reactor which is constructed in a friendly nation — up to a maxi- mum of $350,000 — at the end of the work.

Public Health authorities said there had been a slight increase in flu’ cases due to the colds but that “this is to be expected at this time of the year”. Red Cross brigades still were distributing food, warm clothing and medicines to some 3,000 inha- bitants in the Ajusco Sierra, where many adobe houses collapsed under the weight of the snow and more than a dozen villages were isolated. Authorities said, however, that with the return of higher tempe- ratures, the situation is “virtually back to normal”.

Trujillo and the Somozas will perhaps be affect- ed in a different degree. The reason is that Cuba is involved in an intense strife be- tween the Government and the people, besides the long known activities of some of the parties of the opposition. In reality, as the New York Times very well Says, aversion towards Batista’s dictatorial regime is immense, yet he has not fallen because many regrettable reasons have barred the complete unity of those fighting him in different ‘ways, Political unrest has been pre- valent in Cuba during the last two years, particularly during 1957, to a degree that a country could hardly bear without plung- ing into total chaos. That is why it is necessary that the Government may not obstinately stand in the way of an intel- ligent and patriotic formula ac- ceptable to the Cuban people that may lead to the solution of this tragie problem that is hare rassing the Republic. Now that there is a propitious atmosphere in the Caribbean area for the fight against the Govern- ° ment that sits with the support of Camp Columbia, —and this we point out as a fact— Batista will profit immensely from the spectacular gap in the unity of the opposition groups resulting from a lengthy letter written by Dr. Fidel Castro. The present situation has developed less than a month after the big break in the files of the opposition forces, a break that weakens in a certain way the aggressiveness of the adversaries and the enemies of the Batista regime. Maybe that individual aggressiveness is unchanged, or perhaps greater, but the collective force, which is the decisive one, logically has, to be less. It is a matter of physical laws applied to the po- litical reality. Whichever way it is, the truth is that the present situation holds great significance for some regimes, and all indications are that difficult moments lie ahead for the Batista Government. MENDOZA JOINS NEW VENEZUELAN JUNTA CARACAS, Jan. 25 (UP)— In- dustrialist, Eugenio Mendoza, and the new members, Colonels Jests Aranque and Numa Quevedo, en- tered the Government Junta this morning. They replace Abel Rome- ro Villate and Roberto Casandva, who left for Curacao after resign- ing under pressure from a group of pilots from the Air Force who took refuge in Colombia after the failure of the New Year’s revolu- tion, Shortly after the new Govern- ment Junta was formed, diplomatic sources said that, from one minute to the other, changes in the Junta and the Cabinet were expected. & It is supposed that some politic- al ‘groups, especially those who took part in the civilian action against the ousted regime, want to join.in the Cabinet as a full guar- antee for the management of the National destinies. A On the ‘other hand, trials will start for those of the National Se- curity who committed tortures. The respective decree of the Goy- ernment Junta says that it hae ‘asked the “General Prosecutor to start action against the officials guilty of deaths, tortures, molesta-* tion, and other attacks against hu- man dignity. kok Subscribe to the” _ Americas Daily
