After Orderly Rites
By ChorIes Fernandez
Foreign Correspondent Of The Sior and
the Chicago Dolly News


BOGOTA, Colombia, April "a
fCDN).-The widow of Colombia s
popular liberal chieftain. Jorge
Eliecer Gaitan, has vowed on her
husbands grave to carry on MS
fight against the conservative re-
gime which she blames for his
murder.
With her 1o-year-old daughter
Glorx.. the attractive 35-year-old
Amparo Paramillo de Gaitan has
moved into modest apartment
Her former home became a ma
tional shrine with Mr.. Gaitan's
burial Yesterday in the living room
II intend to contribute all I can
so Jorge's doctrines will not become
sterile. and at the same time ed
ucate my daughter" she declared
adding that the liberal caudillo mao
left enough so that she and Gloria
could live modestly.
Il have always liked money and
the good things in life. but my
major satisfaction now is to realize
that Jorge leaves only a very mod
est fortune" she told me. Although
he was the first criminal lawyer OF
Colombia, he died without any
money to speak of-he sacriflceo
for his ideals and for the cause OF
democracy
Admirers Keeps Widow Away.
Prevented from attending heI
husbands funeral by an admirine
mob which cut her of on the
streets, the slim, trim widow was
more pleased than sorrowed.
TT was a source of satisfaction
to me to see this genuine expression
of the peoples sentiment she sale
with shy smile.
When she left her home in 9
fashionable district of Bogota fol
the first time since her HUSBAND
was slain nearly two weeks ago tt
attend the public services for hel
husband in nearby National Park
she expected to return Immediately
for his burial in the living room
But a mammoth throng clogged the
streets between the park and the
house, delaying her arrival unit
after the Catholic ceremony hae
been completed.
Belying the prophets who hae
foreseen trouble, the funeral wa!
tribute to the self discipline o.
the liberals. Party members policee
the mob themselves, and there were
no troops in the mourning area O
this capital which is still undel
martial law.
Demonstration Is Orderly.
The majority of the party was ou'
to prove that it was not responsible
for the recent riots which Conserva-
tive President Ospina Perez hac
labeled Communist-directed, ano
the orderly demonstration raised
hopes that the new coalition govern.
ment had checked the riotous mooc
which exploded with maniacal fury
on the heels of Mr.. Gaitan's assassi-
nation.
Jorge Eliecer Gaitan went to hi
flreside grave in setting almost al
hurlyburly as that which ATTENDED
