In Guatemala
U. S. Companies Have Had About Enough

planting would cost some $40 mil
lion. Company officials hesitate to
spend that much of the 65 900 stock
holders money in a country whose
government not only countenances,
but is actually party to the abu-
Sive pressure and tactics employed
against it.
Ship Runs Reduced
An announcement has already
been made of the withdrawal Of all
but one Of the company'S feet OF
passenger cargo ships from the
Guatemala runs. Weekly service.
maintained by three of its largest
vessels between New York and
Puerto Barrios, has been discon-
tinued. A fortnightly service out Of
New Orleans only will be maintained.
This means the loss to Guatemala of
a lucrative tourist trade, as welk as
frequent and fast transportation of
Guatemalan coffee. the country'S
second important export, to the New
York market.
A large number Of port workers at
Puerto Barrios, as well as consider
able number Of railroad employees
will be out of jobs. If the company
finds it impossible to continue the
profitable production of fruit, thou
sands of other Guatemalan citizens
will be without employment. all the
result of Communist influences over
the heads of their labor unions and
their government.
There is beginning to be growing
alarm among responsible elements of
the population, particularly among
business and professional men,
church leaders and others, over the
stranglehold the Reds seem to have
on government officials. A well-or-
ganized opposition is already in &C
ton. willing to defy force and even
bloodshed.
On July IL, 1851, the government
ousted a group Of Catholic sisters
from large orphanage and school,
and documented Communist was
placed in charge. Thousands of
angry citizens rose up and def1ed the
police and the military. Numbers
were shot down or otherwise injured
in the rioting. But the government
was sufficiently impressed that it
rescinded its order and replaced the
Communist with Catholic sister.
Young Engineer Wins
An opposition candidate entered
the race for Mayor in the recent
municipal elections in Guatemala
City, and to the surprise of the
Arbenz government was elected by
substantial majority, although ad-
mlnistration or labor party candi-
dates won in most of the other cities
Of the country. But even friends of
Juan Luis Lizarralde. a young engi-
neer and victorious candidate in the
capital city, question whether the
Reds and their government Stooges
will allow him to occupy the post
very long. They expect that every
impeachment will be put in his path,
and that he will be haraSsed un-
mercifully.
In any case. it is the candid opin-
ion of the baSt-informed and most
impartial Latin American diplomatic
observers in Guatemala City, that in
sofar as Moscow is concerned, the
welfare and the interests of Guate-
mala are entirely a secondary con-
Germ. The Kremlin is using the little
Central American nation as a means
OF embarrassing the United States
and discrediting it among its south
ern neighborS.

The wise men Of diplomacy in the
free Western countries describe the
forthcoming year as the year of de-
cision," They firmly believe that the
Muscovites will play their main cards
in the next II months, when 1t will
be decided whether We shall have an
other world war or continuation Of
expensive, troublesome and uncertain
times.
Less vociferous military men be-
lieve differently. They do not dis
count the possibility of a total war,
but from a careful study of the
wealth of information at hand, are
inclined to believe that the Kremlin
would much prefer the present cold
war to a general conflict the result of
which they must regard as uncer-
tain.
The Red general staff is far less
vocal than that of the Western ma
tions. Occasionally some general
makes speech written out for him
by the Politburo. However, usually
nothing much is heard from Soviet
professional soldiers This does not
mean that their views are being dis
regarded by the Politburos masters.
Quite the contrary. they are given
full weight and Russia's diplomatic
strategy-unlike in the Western
countries-iS directed in large part
by the views of her military experts.
In this respect. there is great sim
ilarity between the u S. S. r. of
today and Germany before World
War I, when the German political
leaders were guided in the formula
ton of foreign policies by men such
as Gems. Won Schlieffen and Won
Moltke.

damage when abused. They can kill.
Bromides now are less widely used.
They also can be dangerous with over
use. So can chloral hydrate, a de-
rivative of drinking alcohol.
Now there's a brand-new type of
sleeping pill, discovered by scientists
during research aimed at something
entirely different. A liquid in a
green capsule, it has no opium, bar
biturates or bromide, can't cause ad-
diction or hangovers or suicide. In
hospital trials, it induced sleep in
most patients in 80 minutes.
There are tricks to lick simple cases
of insomnia without drugs. A main
one is learning how to relax the body
and mind-and not to worry about
losing sleep. Other aids are exer-
else, such as walk in the fresh air.

things across the Hindu KuSh from

strictions imposed on their imports
through PakiStan-the normal land
route into Kabul-have forced q
greater economic dependence on So
Wet Russia. But this dependence les

Politically, communism appears to
have made relatively little progress
in AfghaniStan. Opposition groups to
the present monarchy and its tight
government do exist. But they re-
main small in both number and in
f1uence, and none of them appear to
be controlled by Communists.
Our internal squabbles are our

Afghan progressive, one of many who
have served jail terms for too-active
opposition.
West Helps Out
Although Afghanistan enjoys Cor

neighbor, it looks elsewhere for the

Except for one medical mission
which visited North AfghaniStan--
and was paid for it's Work-Russia
has made no contribution toward the
welfare of its relatively backward
neighbor.
Western powers have contributed
literally to helping Afghan develop

and through the United Nations Or
ganization.

KABUL, Afghanistan.-In Afghan
istan you light your cigarette with
Russian match, use Russian gasoline
in your car and feel the presence of
the Russian Bear just across the
Oxus River frontier to the north.
Yet this is one area where Uncle
Joe" Stain appears to be practicing
the good-neighbor policy. or at least
giving his neighbor an even break.
For reasons best known to itself,
Russia has behaved toward sprawling
Afghanistan in manner which even
the most rabid Communist here
admits is correct.
However, there is no friendship
wasted across the frontier. Snorting
Russian patrol boats guard the river
border, backed up by Soviet armored
cars and a militarized zone which IS
reputedly SO miles In depth.
The Shooting Stopped
Formerly these boats and cars had
the annoying habit of turning their
machine guns on any haplesS Afghan
sheep herder or farmer who ap-
preached the river The situation
became so serious that the Kabul
government created a ''no-man's
land" on its own side of the river.
Today this border tension has
eased. AfghaniS may walk to the
rivers edge. even swim in the Oxus
if they wish.
Across this well-guarded frontier
flows a good share of Afghanistan's
foreign trade. Under an agreement
only recently renewed, Afghanistan
sells Russia cotton, wool, other farm
products and takes in return simple
machinery, matches, manufactured
goods and 10000 gallons of gasoline
a month, about half this country's
minimum requirements.
Soviet river ports along the Oxus
open only wide enough to swallow
the Afghan exports and to push out
barter goods in return. They deliver
their gasoline in Russian river tank
ers and pick UP their purchases in

New Year tt ip-Get Your Sleep

NEW YORK.-A New Years tip
for long life is-get enough sleep.
The sleep key comes from asking
thousands Of men and women. 70
to 80 years old, their recipes for long
life.
They listed conflicting ingredients
drink, never drink: smoke, never
smoke; exercise, don't exercise; work
hard, take it easy But almost all
mentioned one same thing, regular
sleep. The agreement makes the
sleep tip look significant.
It's reported by DR.. Harry j. john
son, director of the Life Extension
Institute here. devoted to giving peo-
pie annual health exams.
sleep was the one common de-
nominator," he said. They had seen
to it they got enough, usually the
traditional eight hours, all through
life. The regularity of sleep and
rest in younger years might have
been important. The human body
may respond best to regularity, and
routine.
How about Thomas A. Edison? He
lived to be nearly IS, and said he
rarely got more than five hours sleep
a night until he was rs. He might
we'll be an exception, says Dr. john
son. But also he might have had
more sleep, from maps and doing
by day, than he thought.
If regular sleep is passport to
longevity, then does lack of sleep cut
your chances? It might be so, from
the answers of these oldsters, DR..
johnson says, but little is known yet
about individual needs for sleep.
Couses Are Unknown
Science doesn't know exactly what
sleep is. There are only theories.
Something. or several things, hap
pens in your brain and nervous sys-
tenn to make you sleepy and steer
you into complete or partial uncon-
SciouSneSS.
Sleep is an idling process of the
body engine to get rid Of accumu-
lated wastes and to renew energy.
Without sleep, humans might die
within week from exhaustion.
Night doesn't cause sleepiness. It's
just our habit to sleep by night.
Darkness and stiffness help induce
sleep. Sleep is soundest in the be-
ginning, usually in the first hour.
vraious studies show. Then depth
of sleep lessons sharply for two or
three hours. then lessons gradually
till you waken.
You apparently need the same
amount of sleep whether you do
physical work or brain work. Women
need more than men. But much de-
pends upon habit, and there's a lot
of individual variation in the need
for sleep. This variation can ac-
count for some complaints of in
somnia. Insomnia apparently is a
bugaboo to millions of Americans.
One survey indicated that up to
half of United States adults say they
sometimes or often have trouble get
ting to sleep. Married people are
troubled less than single ones,
women more than men,

cal disease, but this is rare. Pain,

Most, simple or primary insomnia
stems from anxiety, worry, nervous
ness, doctors hold The nervous per-
son doesn't sleep we'll. The poor
sleeper often becomes nervous.
But even insomniacS probably
sleep more than they think they do,
DR.. johnson says. If you spend eight
hours abed, you probably will get
more than five hours sleep.
Insomnia has made sleeping pills
big business. The main kind is bar
biturates, sold in some 80 varieties,
with an estimated 800 tons produced
in 1850.

Fairbanks Gets
 First Fresh. Pro- duce I'm Two Weeks

FAIRBANKS, (P) = Fairbanks residents will feast the next few days on salad, fresh steaks, eggs and airborne milk for the first time in almost two weeks.
 A Pan American Airways plane landed last night with several thousand pounds of precious car go, including bananas, cucumbers, lettuce and other delectables which have been absent from Fairbanks tables since an ice-fog blanketed the city Jan. 6.
 The fog dissipated for the first time late yesterday when the tenn perature rose to tropical 9 below zero and residents blinked in almost-forgotten sunlight. The temperature had lowered around 50 below for almost two weeks.
 Bremen got their first breather in several days.
 After six fires within 48 hours, they scarcelly had had time to thaw crusted ice from their cloth ing between calls.
 Fire equipment was almost use- lose after inc strenuous workout. Hoses were frozen and battery lamps burned out. Townspeople were keeping their fingers crossed until equipment is conditioned again.

Eccles Urges A. Hour NO-Overtime WOrk-Week

WASHINGTON, (P)-Marriner s. Eccles yesterday urged a A. hour work week, without over time pay" a general wage freeze and limited price controls as anti imitation measures.
 Eccles, member of the federal reserve board and chairman until deposed by President Truman three years ago, gave his ideas to the Senate-House economic com mittee at Capitol hearings.
 His testimony came while the economic stabilization agency was reported working on general price and wage freeze orders, expected to be issued immediately.
 Adding pressure for swift gov ernment action was a rise in its cost of living index to new peak.
 Well-placed officials predicted prices would be begged at Jan. 2 levels and paychecks at current wage rates-but with leeway for some workers to do considerably more bargaining.
 The bureau of labor statistics reported that it's cost of living in dex hit a peak on Dec. 15, when 1t stood at 178.4 per cent of the 1935-39 average. The Dec. 15 in dex was 1.6 per cent higher than that of Nov. 15.
