J IMPROVEMENTS FOR |KEY WEST ADVOCATED - BY THE CITIZEN More Hotels and Apartments Consolidation of County and City Governments. Community Auditorium, A NEW LUFTWAFFE NOTAS CUBANAS | cas Por RAOUL ALPIZAR POYO The Federal Republic of West Germany recently an-| - nounced that volunteers were already being classified for the first new Luftwaffe squadrons of West Germany. It was revealed that the Germans will soon begin to as- semble a 1,326-plane air force, supported by a comple- ment of about 80,000 men. Most of the aircraft will be jet-powered, with the new Luftwaffe program to include ten 73-plane units of jet-powered, ground support fighter-bombers, four 75- plane units of jet fighter: d two units of 36 all-wea- ther jet-fighters. The reaction which strikes the average American, upon reading these figures, is whether this is a case of “here we go again, down the road to German militariza- tion.” In addition to the units listed above, the German air force will contain other units and altogether will be an effective aerial fighting force in Western Europe. Under the present plans, the German pilots will train in the country where the planes are produced — no jet fighter is now being manufactured in West Ger- many. While one is naturally reluctant to see the Ger- mans build up another Luftwaffe, it is a case of the less- MUERTE DE MARTI Complaciende amable peticién de persona amiga, én este dia vamos a resefiar de manera bre- ve, cémo ocurrié, el 19 de mayo de 1895, la caida en Dos Rios, del més grande y puro de los cu- banos, de JOBE MARTI. Esta versién ha sido tomada de algunos cultos historiadores y a ellos me remite, al darla a cono- cer aqui. El Generalisimo Maximo Gé6- mez habia sido informado que el 17 de mayo de 1895, debia de lle- gar a Palma Soriano, en la pro- vincia Oriental, un valioso con- voy, bajo la custodia de una gran fuerza espafola. Cuando llegé Gomez al lugar conocido por Ventas de Casanovas, el convoy siguis rumbo a Remangangguas. Marti envié al Generalisimo una nota, desde el campamento de Vueltas, informandole de la Ie- gada de Bartolomé Mass6, con tres cientos hombres de caballe- ria, completamente extenuados por la marcha, la mayoria de er of two evils — as seen by American officials in Wash- | ellos. ington and abroad — and West Germany is considered today a buffer state between Western Europe and the Tron Curtain and is considered a member of the West European Defense Organization, although regrmament in West Germany has not begun as yet. The new Luftwaffe could be a powerful deterrant to Soviet aggression in Europe and it is only on this basis that such rearmament can be justified in Allied coun- tries, which were, only recently, enemies of German militarism. It will be a sad day for the Allies, and the ef- fort to organize West Europe into an efficient defensive community of nations, if the Germans revert to their militaristic ways and use this potent weapon for any other than a peaceful purpose. It is a chance we apparent- ly must take. What we don’t know is more important than what we think we know, The difficulty in teaching is that those who need to know most refuse to seek knowledge. El dia 19 el genigl_dominicano, decide acampar en Vueltas. El Coronel Sgndoyal ha sabido ya de la rétirada de las fuerzas cu- banas y sabiendo el lugar hacia dénde se dirigian, distribuye . es- tratégicamente a sus hombres, en ocultas emboscadas, siguiendo siempre él rastro del Generalisi- mo Maximo Gémez. Ante lg proximidad del enemigo, Gomez ordena que toda la ca- balleria cubana le salg# “al en- cuentro. Antes de llegar a™la Bo- ca de Dos Rios, topan con las avanzadas espafiolas, que se apresuran a formar un formida- ble cuadro de batalla cha, mientras él, con un buen nucleo de fuerzas, se dispone a Fealizarlo por la izquierda, orde- nando a MARTI que se retire hacia atras, lejos del fuego. por- que aquel “ne es sy puesto.” Gomez lucha bravamente, tra tando inutilmente de romper por una esquina al formidable cua- dro que formaban las tropas es- pafiolas, y cuando trata de hacer- lo por el centro, cerca de donde habia dejado a Marti, Angel de la Guardia, le emocionado, le fe quedade alll heride” , . . Maximo Gémez se siente brecogide ante aquella tragica no- ticia y parte veléz y solo hatia el lugar donde habia caido e! Apéstel, pero una descarga ce- trada del enemigo, le cierra el paso y le obliga a detenerse . . Es de suponer que Marti, al ver que le venia encima la tropa atacante, al verse copado por superiores, prefiris mo- tir “de cara al Sol,” como tan- tas veces lo habia deseado y no por la espalda, como mueren los traidores, Segiramente, que lanzé su ca- ballo deshocado, cayendo sobre los soldados espafioles, sintieron miedo de la reaccién de los liber- tadores, ante la pérdida del mas excelso.y grande de sus compa- triotas. Pengaron, sin duda al- guna, que habria de caer sobre ellos, como una avalancha irre- frenable, aquel grupo de cuba- nos, mi todos en la con- tienda . . . Segiiramente, que al conocerse por los integrantes de la columna de Sandoval, la iden- tidad del herido, fué rematado cobardemente. Asi actuaban aquellos malditos hombres. Fué enterrado en Remanganaguas, in- jhumanamente, sin un lienzo, ni una modesta caja, con ensafia- | miento cruel, aquel| gran hom- jbre que no odio a nadie, que amé a todos los hombres, que predicé la justicia y-la libertad Para todos... El Coronel Sandoval, queremos suponer en su , que no autoriz6 tales desmanes, que concuerdan mal con sus pala- bras, al ser traido al cementétio de Santa Ifigenia, en Santiago de Cuba, el cadaver de José Marti. Un historiador americano nom- brado Murat Halstead, en su_li- bro LA HISTORIA DE CUBA, expresa las frases del Corone! Sandoval, en el sepelio de donde tomamos los siguientes frag- mentos: “‘Sefiores: En presencia del cadaver de quien fuera en vida JOSE MARTI, y por no ha- ber aqui pariente, ni amigo, ‘que diga unas frases en su memoria, tengo yo que hacerlo. No veias en estos restos, los de un enemi- go, sino los de un, hombre que luché y murié defendiendo sus ideales politicos. Desde el instan- te en que el espiritu dejé su cuerpo, sus errores han de ser perdonados por el Todopoderoso. No debemos guardarle rencer y Ie damos a su cadaver cristiana Sepultura”... Y nos preguntamos: Podran desaparecer para siempre, en- |vueltos en el sudario de la muer- \te, hombres de tal envergadura? |. . « Estas almas, cuedaran se- |pultadas éntre el polvo del sepu- } } | ' | | We Doubt If I’ll Be Much Beiter | ero? «++ No podemos creerlo. Estos hombres como Marti, Washington, Bolivar, Morelos y San Martin, nunca mueren inutil- mente. Acaso si ellos justifican plenamente la teoria de Ja inmor- talidad del alma. Ellos, al caer arrebatados por las garras de la Muerte,-podran dejar sus cuerpos bajo la tierra, pero sus almas, como inmensos soles, han de ir a otros lugares, a ofrecer su calor iy su luz, a otros hombres nece- sitados de sus ejemplos. En este afio que se cumple el centenario del nacimiento de | Marti, hemos de recordarle y !venerarle, con la devocién que |su vida y su obra merecen. El quiso para todos los hom- bres de la tierra, que la justicia no fuera un mito, con el que jugaran a veces, los propios hom- bres. El somé y predicé y murié, para que la libertad fuera una hace merecedor, mas que a mo- numentos que recuerden su figu- ra y su obra, que todos los hom- bres de la América libre, piensen que su caida nos privé a todos de un Mentor, que acaso .no vuelva jamas a aparecer otro igual, en todo nuestro Continente. Honrémosie y asi, al menos, nos haremos dignos de su obra y de sus grandes sacrificios, AUTO TAG SWEEPSTAKES WASHINGTON (7) — Voters throughout the country didn’t realize it but their election of a Republican Administration brought about wholesale changes among holders of low-number li- cense plates in the District of Columbia.

When the anesthesia wore off, it hurt like thunder and it was |two o‘clock on Thursday morning ; when 1 finally dozed off to sleep. | Ten minutes later, I was awak- lened by shrieks from the apart- ment above. No, not just shrieks but the anguished, blood-curdling screams of a woman in trouble. Then, I heard the sounds of a struggle, thumping on the floor and hurried footsteps. Still foggy from sleep and the sedative I had taken, it took sev- eral seconds to realize that the Navy wife upstairs was in trou- ble - apparently being beaten. I ‘remembered that her husband ‘(who is not a wife beater) some- times was on duty at the Naval | Station at night. Then the screams died to a ser- jies of low-pitched moans, jfirst thought was that the woman had been badly injured. I jumped out of bed and even as I headed for the door, police officer Eddy Ramirez pulled in front of the house in the patrol wagon. A Navy .Shore Patrol Chief was with him and we ran up the front stairs. I was not aware that there was any rear entrance to the upstairs apartment and assumed that the man was cornered. But the wo- man, in a hysterical voice, told us that the prowler had gone out }a back window to the top of a shed, and then jamped to the ground -- the same way he had gained entrance. The woman, who bore scratch- jes on her neck, told us how the man had held a knife at her throat and threatened her. She had put up a plucky battle and managed to fight the intruder off.
