JOSE MARTI today a new anniversary of the birth of José Marti, outstanding Cuban citizen and illustrious thinker, pride of his Fatherland and glory for all the freedom loving peoples, in particular those of his own race. To admire the work of for his illustrious memory, it Marti and to have devotion is not necessary to have been born in Cuba, since he had splendid ideological realizations which were closely linked to the whole continent and, besides, his struggle for the realization of freedom in his country makes him worthy of the respect and recognition of the whole world. Of course, for obvious reasons, for the sons of Cuba anything that may have any connection with Marti is something that deeply touches their civic feelings, because in him they see the Apostle of their freedom, the man who, with his inspiring thought pointed the way for redemption of his people. They also see in Marti a man who not only encouraged patriotism with his noble and wise words, but who also sacrificed his life in the struggle for freedom. Very seldom the world sees the magnificent example of a thinker who dies in open defense of his ideas, as Mar- ti died in the historical combat of Dos Dios. Because of all these outstanding characteristics, the Apostle lives forever in the memory and in the veneration of his people, and in the respect of all America. Anywhere a struggle for freedom is going on, anywhere the people speak of that sacred right of the individual and the people, they evoke those who, as José Marti, are symbols of dignity and of efforts and sacrifice for freedom. And, naturally, for the Cuban people that evocation and political meaning, in the takes extraordinary spiritual highest sense of the word. On this 105th anniversary of the birth of José Marti, THE AMERICAS DIALY pays again homage of respectful admiration to the memory of the great hero, and joins in the feeling that, with justice, the generous Cuban nation has towards this date, glorious not only for Cuba but for the whole free world. -- * x ke*® Latin American Finance and Trade News Reports Ruiz Cortines Dedicates New Hydroelectric Plant MEXICO CITY (UP)— Presi- dent Adolfo Ruiz Cortines dedicat- ed the new Tingambato hydroelec- tire plant which will add another 135,000 kilowatts to the 2,100,000 kilowatts generated by all the elec- trie plants now operating in the country. The new plant located some 75 * miles from México City is the last of a series of five comprising the $100,000,000 ‘Miguel Aleman Hy- droelectrie System,” with a total output of over 350,00 kilowatts. States especially benefitted by the system are México, Michoacan, Jalisco, Aguascalientes and Guana- juato. President Ruiz Cortines was accompanied in the ceremonies by Carlos Ramirez Ulloa, Director of the Federal Electricity Commis- sion, and by Economy Secretary Gilberto Loyo. Also present were labor leaders of the Electrical Workers Union and a number of industrialists and businessmen. Ramirez Ulloa said the Federal Electricity Commission, a govern- ment corporation with a capital of over $20,000,000 is now producing a total electrical energy output of the country and “studies are now being made to further expand the Miguel Aleman System by utiliz- ing a number of small streams south of the Tingambato plant.” He said the commission, with more than 10 plants of all kinds across the country “directly serves more than 340 population cen- ters, and indirectly, throughout sale of energy to private compan- ies, brings light and energy to more than ten million persons throughout the country.” NEW OIL DRILLING METHOD OFFERED WASHINC =‘ — An Israeli pe- troelum research engineering has discovered » new physico-chemical method for oil drilling which he believes may be of interest to oil drillers in the Western Hemi- sphere. According to Leén Nissimov, re- searcher, by adding certain chemic al products to the mud, the hard- ness of the rock is reduced to an extent that the bit’s penetrating speed is considerably increased. The efficiency of the method also is assured by automatic measure- ment, and the construction of an apparatus measuring the simultan- eous action of all factors affecting the rate of penetration of rotating bits is therefor ->nosed. Technical details of the method and the principals of the measur- ing apparatus may be obtained by writing Leon Nissomov, Petroleum Research Engineer, P. O. Box 132, Ramat Gan, Israel.

It is expected that the other eight nations which unanimously approved the final agreement last Saturday will sign through diplo- matic channels. The Pact, which will go into ef- fect when it has been ratified- by two thirds of the signers, creates I.C.O. in order “to promote world coffee consumption and defend coffee economy, and _ stipulates Know thy Neighbor By ANTONIO RUIZ ECUADOR — Ecuadorean his- tory goes far back before the time of the Spanish Conquistador Fran- cisco de Pizarro first leanerd of the existence of the great Inca Empire and its fabulous wealth. It is a ro- mantic history, so interwoven with myths and fables, that historians find it difficult to separate truth from legend. Long before the powerful Incas extended the boundaries of their vast Empire northward into Ecua- dor, several tribes of Indians in- habited the coast and the high- lands. Among them were the Qui- tus who reigned in the vicinity of present-day Quito. In about 900 A. D., the Quitus were conquered by the Caras, a noble, intelligent peo- ple who are thought to have come from across the sea. Under the reign of the Shyris, as the Caras’ rulers were called, the Kingdom grew and flourished, un- til the Incas, who ruled what is now Pert, began to cast covetous eyes in the direction of their nor- thern neighbors. For some years the Caras resisted the Incas, until finally they were conquered by the superior forces of Huayna-Ca- pac, twelfth Inca ruler. After _ conquering the Caras, Huayna-Capac took as one of his wives the beautiful Princess Pac- cha, daughter of the dead Shyri ing, who bore. him a handsome son they named Atahualpa. When Huayna-Capae was near death, he divided his vast empire between his eldest son and legal heir, Huds- car, and Atahualpa, his favorite. Huascar was jealous of his broth- er, and when his father died, a fra- tricidal war broke out between the | two sons, Atahualpa eventually de- | feated his half brother, thus be- coming supreme ruler, but the war had weakened the Inca forces to such an extent, that when the Spa- niards arrived they encountered comparatively little resistance. Atahualpa was freacherously put to death by Pizarro in 1533, inau- gurating then a long period of ruthless warfare against the native population. In 1534, by order of Francisco Pizarro, who was himself occupied with the conquest of Pert, Sebas- tian de Belaledzar and Diego de Alagro set out on an expedition into the mountainous regions of Ecuador, in search for the King- dom of Quito a land reputed ‘to be richer than any of the provinces of the New World. Traveling over the old road built by the Incas to connect Quito with Cuzco, Peri, the two capitals of their great em- | pire, the Spaniards penetrated in- to the interior of Ecuador, final- | ly reaching Quitu, where, in the shadows of the Pichincha volcano, on August 15, 1534, the Spanish ci- ty of San Francisco de Quito was founded. Almagro then returned to Pert, and Belalcazar set out on his fruit- less search for the mythical land of El Dorado (The Gilded Man). During Belalcdzar’s absence from Quito, Pizarro appointed his bro- ther, Gonzalo as Captain General of Quito, Popayan in Colombia, and all the region that he might dis- cover, But .Gonzalo Pizarro was restless, and eager for new adven- tures. In the year 1541 he organized an expedition to search for the “land of the cinnamon.” With a com- pany of some 350 Spaniards, some of them mounted and some on foot 4,000 Indians, as well,as pigs, lla- mas, and dogs, Pizarré crossed the Andes and eventually reached the Rio Coca, Here the hapless band of men, tired and hungry as they were from the long trek, and dis- appointed with not having found the land of the cinnamon, decid- ed to build a brigantine ta con- tinue their exploration.

In order to collect these funds, -Perén Says he Will Soon Join Pérez Jiménez VENEZUELAN JUNTA TO HOLD ELECTIONS SOON CARACAS, Venezuela —(UP)— each country will contribute be- tween 15 and 25 cents for each| sack of coffee which they export.) The Latin American nations, | although they did not find all of| the control which they expected with I.C.0., expressed their satis- faction with the pact. Paulo Guz-| 20, of Brazil, Director of the Pan- | american Coffee Bureau, said that the agreement is “a re-affirmation | of the confidence in world coffee} policy and a demonstration of the| solidarity which exists between the countries of the México Agree- ment, which is now satisfactorily working. The seven signatories of the| Agreement of Mexico also held al separate meeting in this capital, and accorded to limit to 6,398,107 bags their exports from April 1 to June 30, 1958.. The figures | are as follows: Colombia, 1,435,171 bags; Fe- decame members, 1,362,936 (Mé- xico 413, 512; Guatemala, 252,250; Nicaragua, 184,005; El Salvador, 283,237; Costa Rica, 229,932). Bra- zil will reetain 20 percent of its exportable balance. This means that Brazil will export some 3,600,- 000 bags and will buy from produ- cers, for retention, about 700,000 bags. The International organization | will have its headquarters in Bra-| zil. The discussed system of vot- | ing Which was stipulated in the| original motion, which gives Brazil and Colombia —the two principal producers— 58% of the votes, was unanimously approved after Por-| tugal, at the last minute, retired the objections which she had pre- viously made. Nevertheless, the agreement sti-| pulates that when important ques- | tions must be considered, special and clearly defined majorities must be necessary, thus denying the organization the right to im- pose export quotas or fix minimum prices, a thing which the African coffee producing countries feared. Another clause recognizes the right of each government “‘to de- termine their. own policy regard- ing the production and commercia- | gime, |ron would “not have the slighest | to. the secret police on how Former Argentine Dictator Juan D, Perén says he will soon join ousted President Marcos Perez Ji- menez in the Dominican Republic | and then go to Europe for a long | rest, Perén denied published reports in two Venezuelan newspapers, La Esfera and Ultimas Noticias, that he had advised the hated secret police on how to deal with oppo- sition to the Perez Jimenez re- Perén spoke to reporters Sun- day night in the Domnican embas- sy where he is a guest of Domini- can Ambassador Rafael Bonnelly.

The newspapers published a_ photo- graph of the documents they said were Perén’s detasled instructions to put down a rebellion. i Meanwhile the new ruling Mili- fary Junta announced general elections would be called “as soon as possible”. It also ordered swift trials for secre’ police tortures to wipe out Police State methods and appease public demands for ven- geance. Rear Adm. Wolfgang Larrazabal President of the Junta, also an- nounced that he had issued in- structions to all Venezuelan con- sulates in foreign countries to as- sist in the speedy repatriation of all political exiles, He said the government would lization of coffee”. pay the cost of transportation for those exiles without funds. British “Welcome” Ship on Trip to LONDON (UP)— The British Government suggested today that Argentine tourists are welcome in the Falkland Islands dependencies | area — but the area is still British| and there’s a gunboat there to| make sure, A highly unusual communique was issued by the Foriegn Office yesterday, , Sunday, on the occa- sion of one such ship’s visit. The communique was telephon- ed to news agencies by the For- eign Office, which is normally clos- ed on Sunday mornings. It said: “For immediate release. The Ar- 8eniine: ship Les Eclaireurs ar- rived January 18 at Deception Is- land on a tourist cruise from Bue- nos Aires. “Deception Island forms a part of the British Falkland Islands dependencies and ‘is claimed as Ar- genline territory by the Argen- tine Government.

The statement was made in con- nection with the appointment of a committee by Mayor Ernesto Uru- churtu to study the problem and make recommendations toward its solution. “The conclusions that might be reached by the commission cannot be effective if the problem is not approached through the creation of a subway stystem,” informants said. “If that is not.done, any meas- ures taken must of necessity be transitory, because of the constant growth of the city and its steadily increasing transportation needs.” The building of a subway system in México City has been mention- ed on many occasions in the past; but it has always been rejected on the grounds that the capital’s por- ous subsoil makes construction im- possible or extremely expensive. The committee to study the city’s transportation problem as a whole was appointed as a result of a threatened bus strike that would have paralyzed practically all acti- vities. The bus drivers’ demands in- cluded wage rises and other social benefits, but the operators com- plained they could not grant any wage raises unless they were al- lowed to raise faires. In view of the deadlock, as the City Government refused to per- mit fare hikes, the major decided to appoint the committee to study the problem as a whole and pre- sent recommendations as soon as possible. Bus drivers then decided to can- cel their strike plans. WASHINGTON, Jan. 27. (UP). Republican Representative, Albert |P. Morano said that the U.

Despite the communique’s frien- dly tone, a feeling persisted in neutral diplomatic circles that the foreign office, in a more subtle than usual manner, was hinting.| that the Argentine Government about them, and act in “a clear and intelligent way towards our neighbors.” He said that “U. S. aid to our neighboring friends has been very little if it is compared with the aid that this country has given to Europe anc, Asia since World War II.” “Something more is needed, he said, if the battle against hunger and sickness, and, also, against communism, is to be won”. “The seriousness of the fight should be careful in its voyaging. against the comunist threat in La- tin America —he said— is evident of México City, informed sources | Castro Lieutenants F by Cuban Rebels in Daring Attack on Oriente Prison Attorney and Son of Former Bank President Rescued in Bold Attack HAVANA.
