permitted TO err TO such an extent as TO
confound day with night and the dispos-
SCISSOR with the dispossessed
Much less" says Senior Gener. team

charged with the delicate duty of admin
istering justice, which is the foundation of
the order and well-being of nations"
Then follows Recommendation TO Gov.

following members of the Havana Auden-
cia: Francisco Guiral, Rafael Maydagan.
Emilio Inglesias. and Manual Jaime.
