Snub 10 j. ). Anthem
Charged 10 Guatemala
BY the Associated Press

GUATEMALA, Feb. 27.-Play-
ing OF Puerto Rican folk song as
substitute for the United States
national anthem threatened today
to blossom into an international
incident.
Ambassador Richard c. Patter-
son said he would protest to the
Guatemalan government against
the insult" to the United States
nag Saturday at the opening of
the Sixth Central American and
Caribbean Olympic Games here.
President Juan Jose Arevalo
formally opened the games and
the flags of the IA participating
countries and islands were pre-
sented before the presidential box.
The Guatemalan police band
played the national anthems of
the first II countries as their
hags were presented. But when
the Puerto Rican delegate came
forward with the American flag
the band played a Puerto Rican
folksong, "El Borinqueno" instead
OF the "Star Spangled Banner"
MIR. Patterson, visibly angered
later told newsmen he was "indig-
nant" at what observers inter-
preted as a snub to the United
States.
Guatemala's government is an
outspoken enemy of "colonialism"
IN the Americas and various min
listers have made no secret of the
TACT they regard Puerto Rico as
IN class with colonies, although
it is a self-governing' territory of
the United States and some day
may become a State.
Some Guatemalan officials said
the folk song was played at the
request of the Puerto Rican dele
cation but the delegation heads
denied this.

RETIREMENT - Despite the
more liberal provisions in the
civil service retirement system,
Government employees apparently
are not retiring at an earlier
age than they used to.
Latest figures show that the
number of workers retiring from
the Governments service is about
the same as. previous years. The
chief reason for this is that the
official retirement ages of so and
81. with full annuity benefits,
has not been lowered. And de-
spite the larger benefits given to
annuitants who retire before they
are eligible for full-scale annuities,
most Federal workers find that
these benefits are not enough to
live on.
There has been considerable
talk of getting legislation intro
duced in Congress to lower the
Governments retirement age to
SIS. The Civil Service Commits
sion, however, is strongly opposed
to this move.
