However, since Colombia has proposed the nomination of Dr. German Arciniegas, its is well to remember, in general terms, the true meaning of the personality of that illustrious Colombian, writer and humanist of well recog- nized international pr ie, Both in the United States and in Latin Amerita, the name of Dr. Arcinie is highly respected. As ex-Minis- ter of Education in country, as professor at Columbia University in New York, as a man of letters and indefati- gable defender of democratic ideals, Dr. Arciniegas has won a place of honor among the most outstanding figures of our continent. On many occasions, in particular when the illustrious Colombian was the object of immigration problems in this country, THE AMERICAS DAILY, in editorial comments, has stressed the high intellectual and moral qualities of Dr. Arciniegas, giving them the high place they deserve, because he is an outstanding figure in American letters. All the elements which give prestige to the personality of Arciniegas match, of course, the requirements needed to be Director of the United Nations Educational, Scien- tifie, and Cultural Organization. In is certain that other candidates, all of them as worthy as Arciniegas, will be submitted to the UNO. Fortunately, therefore, the choosing will be made among outstanding figures, any one of them capable of discharg- ing the duties of the high position with the skill and decorum that these functions demand. At this moment, THE AMERICAS DAILY, with re- newed feeling of appreciation for Dr. Arciniegas, a col- laborator of this newspaper with articles of great intellec- tual value, is pleased to exalt once more the merits of this citizen of Colombia and of the Americas, whose name has been. submitted by his country, according to press reports, as candidate for Director of that all important agency of the United Nations. MEMORANDUM TO THE MEMBERS OF THE UNITED STATES CONGRESS FROM THE CUBAN CONGRESSMEN IN EXILE 1, — The undersigned, former|clearly stipulates that the Agree- members of the Cuban Congress, democratically elected before the military coup of March 10, 1952, have the honor to address the members of the United States Congress in order to inform them about some aspects of the current state of relations between thew two countries and, particularly, about certain facts and feelings) ment “will be subject to cancella-| tion at the initiative of Govern-| ment of the United States or of; the Government of Cuba, at any time, when any one of the two Governments find itself involved in internal or external hostilities” (the quote is a translation of the Spanish text). 4. — The undersigned consider that are impairing these relations.| that it is not improper for them 2. — There is at present a to inform their United States col- | widespread belief in Cuba that) leagues of the above mentioned the United States Government is| facts, that may be of interest to supporting Batista’s ruthless dic-|them because of their bearing on tatorship in contradiction to the|the foreign policy of the United repeatedly declared American po-| States, on the current world strug- licy in favor of world freedom and democracy. This belief is but- tressing Batista’s dictatorship, pro- longing the terrible civil war now ravaging the country and serious- ly impairing the prestige and good-will of the United States in Cuba. 3. — The generalized Cuban be- lief in the United States support to Batista is based on the follow- ing facts: a) The great zeal in the ap- plication of the Neutrality Act a- gainst anti-Batista exiles and the unnecessarily rude treatment ap: plied to them, as shown by the recent (February 14, 1958) hand- euffing of Dr. Carlos Prio Soca- rras, former constitutional Presi- dent of Cuba, desposed by Batis- ta; “b) The public demonstrations) of friendship from the United States Army to the Cuban Army,| as shown by the bestowal of one of the highest US military decora- tions to the Chief of the Cuban) Air Force (November, 1957) short (now General) ' Tabernilla had ordered and led the bombardment and strafing of the open city of Cienfuegos (Sep- tember 5, 1957) and the widely publicized praise lavished upon gle for freedom and democracy, on the American prestige and good- will abroad and on the welfare of one of the three closest neighbors of the United States. The under- signed also consider that it is not improper for them to request the moral support of their US col- leagues for their noble cause and hope that this information and this request of sympathy will be thus! interpreted by the United States Senators and Congressmen and not construed as an attempt to interfere in their affairs or in- fluence their conduct. 5. — If any United States Sena-| tor or Congressman would like to! obtain additional information on} the facts described in this Memo- randum, the undersigned would} be pleassed to supply it to them,) either in writing or personally, going to Washington if necessary or desirable.

Rough- ly half of .he passenger traffic in Colombia is carried by the air- lines, which have also steadily in- creased their volume of air cargo. An idea of this progress is given by the fact that Avianca claimed to be the world’s leading cargo carrier in 1951, with a freight vol- ume of 240 million pounds, an in- crease of 45 per cent over 1950 and the increase has continued since then. Colombia has about 200 landing | fields, the largest airports being | those of Bogota and Barranquilla. Avianca fiies international routes to serveral Latin American coun- tries, as well as Europe and the United States, and has connec- i a good number of international airlines including Pan America, Panagra, KLM or Royal Dutch, British Overseas Airways, and oth- ers. The Magdalena River, with its | principal tributary, the Cauca Riv- | er form the main artery of the waterway system of inland trans- | portation connecting the Carib- bean seaports of Barranquilla, Car- | tagena and Santa Marta and the coastal lowlands with the principal cities in the Colombian mountain- ous region pf the interior. Cross- | ing the country from south to north, the Magdalena touches nine of the sixteen departments of the} country Along its 1,000 mile course, more than a million tons of cargo and over 200,000 passeng- ers are transported ‘every year. Highway and railroad connections form an important part of the Mag-! dalena’s communications system, and the Dique Canal affords a na- vigable connection between the riv- er at Calamar and the seaport of Cartagena. Roads and highways of all classes in Colombia total approximately 20.000 miles. Despite natural ob- stacles to road-building and main- tainance, the highway construction program of Colombia has made im- pressive progress during the last few decades, National Highways, as distinct from Department roads, account for more than one half of the total mileage of the country The railroad system of Colombia of 14 lines, totals ap- proximately 3,000 miles of track. Ten national lines are operated by the Administrative Council, an agency created by the National Government in 1932. There are four departmental lines and sever- al short, private lines.

CAB fo Decide on Convenience in U. S. Finance 0 WASHINGTON, March 29 (UP) The Civil Aeronautics Board will soon reach a decision on whether USS. airlines may invest in foreign air carriers, especially those in the smaller nations of Latin America The decision will have import- ant ramifications, not only in the aviation industry but on this coun- try’s diplomatic and military po- licies. The specific decision being awaited is whether the one-third interest Panamerican World Air- ways holds in a Costa Rican Air- line is in the public interest or should be disposed of. The Defense Department fears that if U.S carriers are forbidden to invest in Latin American Air- lines. Russia will stop in and offer aid for their development. The CAB is the official policy- making agency of the U.S. govern- ment in matters pertaining to ci- vil aviation. One of its examiners, after’a public hearing, found that the investment of Panamerican in Lineas Aéreas Costaricenses, S. A. LACSA was not in the public in- terest. The five members of the board itself are now considering whether this finding should be upheld or overturned. The board heard public oral ar- guments on the merits of the case on March 6, the last procedural step before its decision, At that time the Defense Department em- phatically reiterated its position that it was not only desirable but vital for security reasons that U. S. airlines assist the development of foreign airlines. Maj. James C. Mosley, Jr., of | post, it was reported here early | today, 5 HEMISPHERIC EVENTS ENVOY IN TOUR JALAPA, México.

AGAINST POLITI WASHINGTON, Mar. 31 (UP) | the Eisenhower Government -to —Well informed sources said today |suspend arms shipments to Cuba. that the Senate Foreign Relations Committee will hear testimony Wednesday, on the accusations of brutality against the regime of President Fulgencio Batista of Cuba. These sources said that the com- mittee will hear a secretary-in- terpreter of Cuban ex Prime Min. ister Antonio de Varona, and pos- sibly some withnesses who alleged- ly were tortured by Batista’s police before finding asylum in the Unit- ed States. Varona has said U. S. arms sent to Cuba are used to crush the opposition to Batista’s Govern- ment, and maintains that this cons- titutes a violation of the Mutual Security Program, under which arms are sent to Cuba. Varona wrote recently a letter to democratic Senator Wayne Mor- se, asking him to put pressure on nation. The building program would be financed through a spe- cial bond issue by the central bank, the Banco de Guatemala. The plan is.being studied by the National Economic Planning Coun- cil, COLONEL GEMMEL DECORATED BY USS.

The State Department announc- ed last week the suspension, on March 14th, of a shipment of arms for the Cuban Government, and declared it was studing the matter of U.

(UP)—Congress meets in special session tonight to grant President Fulgencio Batista “excep tional powers” to deal with a rebel threat of “total war.” Informed sources said the gen- eral strike which the President's foes had been expected, to start today has been postponed while its leaders study his demand for emergency authority, $ The national legislature, domi- nated by supporters of the govern. ment, is considered sure to give Batista the powers he wants. The best information available indicates Batista will’ proclaim a state of national emergency to en- able the army to deal with the strike, which rebel leaders Fidel Castro says is likely to plunge Cuba into a “blood bath”. Havana was generally quiet over the weekend, but a wave of buying, in apparent anticipation of a strike depleted stocks of food—particular- iy pleura, powdered milk and baby ‘ood. The powerful CTC pro-govern. ment union federation bought space in the nation’s newspapers to warn its 1,250,000 members not to sup. port the rebel walkout. Police scoured Havana’s cheap- jer hotels and boarding houses, | looking for “out of towners” who might have been brought in by the rebels for strike provocation. No arrests were reported. The only violence reported over the weekend occurred in East Ha- vana, where police “liquidated” four or five rebel gunmen who tried to hijack an army dynamite truck, Two -soldiers were injured.
