They, naturally, commit a crime against the their political and personal Fatherland, when they put at service that which belongs to the people and is for the people: the institutions of the Republic. The people of each Nation should engage in efforts to strengthen the moral prestige of the servants of the State, exercising pressure on high ranking Government of- ficials, to force them to respect the dignity of those under their jurisdiction, leaving them free from political servitude, which is imcompatible with the nature of their public fun- etions, On the other hand, all citizens should also exercise pressure to have those servants of the State, or the muni- cipalities, adequately remun from them all that which erated, to be able to demand the individuals and the com- munity expect from them. There should be no more pub- officials or employes than those needed in each depart- ment. But they must have guarantees and facilities to discharge their tasks in the most decorous and efficient way that is possible. x *& * \ x * & ~ Latin American Finance and Trade News Reports MEXICAN TELEPHONE _ WORKERS STRIKE MEXICO CITY (UP)— Jorge Ayala Ramirez, Secretary General ef the Telephone Workers Union which has threatened to strike at noon March 31, said the union will launch continuous with the company Teléfonos de México this week in an effort to avoid the strike.

They are: Mendoza, Guayabita, Guanare, Bar- bula, Yuma, Charaguao, Guaya- y t dena, La Emilia, Manaure, El Lo- ro, Pedernales, Mariara, Durute, Tovar Las Trojas and La Esme- ralda. There are also two agricul- tural units, Turén, in Portuguesa State, and Bramén_ in Tlchira State, besides the Agricultural Center of El Tocuyo. There’ are also two agricultural colonies, Araurima, in Fale6n, and El Ceni- zo, in Trujillo, and one agricultur- al and livestock colony, Los An- des, in Tachira State. The land cultivated by these or- ganizations of the Institute during the last eight years totals more duction estimated in more than 250,000 kilos. The Institute has re- claimed more than 40,000 hectares of forest lands, for. national pro- duction of more than 28 million polivars. Besides, during the same eight years, the Institute has built and granted more than 1,700 rural residences, with a value of more than 15 milliion bolivars. During the same period of time, the Institute has invested over 35 million bolivars to buy agricultur- al machinery, including tractors, reapers of different kinds, and ma- ny implements for the machinery, and complementary equipment.

EISENHOWER The reduction was a victory for congressmen from oil states which have been forced to cut down pro- duction in recent months, It was considered a defeat for | the State Department which. has ben fielding strong protests from Canada and Venezuela against re- ducing further U.S. imports of their oils. The new program also excluded U.S. brokers who have been im- porting foreign oil. But it brought | in several U.S. refiners which had not been assigned individual quo- tas under the old “voluntary” | program which became effective last summer. RECIPROCAL TRADE BILL SUPPORTED MEANWHILE. — Adlai E. Ste- venson said that failure to extend the reciprocal trade program will weaken Western alliances, hurt U.S. world leadership and “push the great undeveloped areas into Communist arms”. He said the long-term result | would be to “isolate, imperil and | impoverish” the United States. In an address prepared for a White House-backed national con- ference for support of extension of the reciprocal trade program, the two-time presidential candi- date told protectionist opponents of the program that no nation can be an island by itself in the mod- ern world. He said this includes the United | States. Millions of its citizens, he | added, derive their livelihood | from trade, Furthermore, he said, many staunch U.S. allies live through ; trade. Unless these nations can trade with the United States with- out restrictive tariffs, he said, they may be forced to turn to the Soviet world. Secretary of Commerce Sinclair Weeks told delegates that the ad- ministration program is a “mas- sive force” for strengthening em- ployment and thwarting Russia’s “global economie drive’. Weeks said America will sink to “the peril point in economic security and national safety” if “through utter blindness to dan- ger, the reciprocal trade agree- ments program is defeated or mu- tilated”. He said the jobs of 4,500,000 Americans depend on internation- al trade. “Much to be Done Yet About Relations in Hemisphere,” Rubottom WACO, Texas. — (UP). — Roy Rubottom, Assistant Secretary of State for Latin American Coun- tries, declared that the U. S. Go- vernment’ has worked hard for closer relations with Latin Ameri- ea through cultural relations, but that there is much to do yet. Rubottom added that due to the development of a greater tourism to those countries, the American people are getting acquainted with the Latin American countries. Rubottom made this statement |in an address delivered in Baylor University of this city. In this address he made refer- ence to various cultural programs started in various subjects by the United States. According to our point of view —United States— we have done much, although not enough, to increase the under- | standing and good will through | cultural relations; that is, to set out and follow the way of mutual contribition”.

The seized freighter is “El Orio”. Two of the 36 arrested said they were Nicaraguans, but they, as the others, were wearing the uni- form of the Cuban rebels oppos- ed to the regime of General Ful- gencio: Batista. They declared they were on their way to Cuba, to deliver the arms to rebel leader Fidel Castro, who is operating in Oriente Pro- vince, Eight of the rebels were cap- jtains. Their chief is Arnaldo Ba- rron, 34 years old, and the group included the Reverend Ignacio Mosquera, their Protestant cha- plain, Both Barron and Pastor Mosque- ra violently attacked the Govern- ment of General Batista. “We are ready to die for free- |dom”, Barron said. “The fact that |we were arrested here does not mean the end of our journey”, he added.

One of the rebels said that when the ship was hit he feared “everyting was to fly into the air”. There is speculation here that | this group may be connected with the Cuban rebels that U.S. federal authorities dispersed in Houston last February 17, when they ar- rested six persons and seized an arsenal on board the yatch “Bud- dy Dee”. i The six persons arrested in Houston were released on ten thousand dollars bond each, on Fe- bruary 20, after they were accus- ed of violation of the laws on fire- j arms and conspiracy.to aid an ex- pees against a friendly eoun- ry.
