It has been understood that II such de-

Government would act vigorously, but it
Is declared authoritatively that thus far
nothing has been done.
An official of the Government said to-
day that it was believed that President
Castro's next move would be TO introduce
condemnatory proceedings in the Venezue-
Ian Courts TO Gust the asphalt company
from its concession. Such n course would
be carefully watched by this Government
IL was said and any attempt at a denial Of
justice would call forth a quick and de-
cisiye step on the pant Of the United States
Government-probably armed interven-

de Jesus Paul, who is his way to Washing
