u. n. Council Session
Moved up TO Today
On Guatemala Issue
Only Previous Sunday
Session Was in so When
Korean War Started
BY the Associofed Press


UNITED NATIONS, N. Y,
June 19.-The United Nations
Security Council will meet here
at 3 pm. (EDT, Sunday in ex-
traordinary session on the Qua
temalan conflict instead of Mon
day. afternoon as previously
scheduled. The change was an
nounced late tonight after Qua
temala's delegate pressed re-
peatedly for the urgent session.
The Council has met in such
a special Sunday session only
once before. That was on June
rs, 1850. to cope with the Korean
war which began on that day.
The Council president for
June, United States Ambassador
Henry Cabot Lodge. jr., at first
declined to call a weekend
meeting - for either Saturday
or Sunday. Most delegates were
reported week ending outside of
the immediate area and could
not be located readily Saturday
afternoon.
However, as the Guatemalan
pressed for the urgent meeting
on his governments charges
that Honduras and Nicaragua
have committed open agrees
sion" the request was reconsid-
cred and the Sunday meeting
was set up.
The Guatemalan government
pleaded that the Council stop the
Central American conflict with
U. N. armed force if necessary.
In a 1,000-word cable, Guate-
mala charged the armed attack
on the Arbenz regime was in
stigated by certain foreign mo-
nopolies whose interests have
been affected" by Guatemala s
policy of economic and social
progress" It said a United
States arms embargo had left
Guatemala without an air force
sufficient to repel it.
Foreign Minister GuillermC
Toriello sent the cable to Mr.
Lodge asking him urgently tt
convent" a council meeting.
Mr.. Toriello said the Council
should take the measures neceS-
Sary to prevent the disruption
of peace end international Sc
curity in this part of Central
America and also to put q StoT
to the aggression in progress
against Guatemala"
He proposed that it do this
under three. u. N. charter ar
ticleS (34, 35 and 39) that au.
thorize it to call for disruption
of economic and trade relations
and, as a last resort, for use OF
member nations land, sea and
air forces" to halt aggression.

Armas said their forces had pen
etrated up to Is miles inside
Guatemala in their march on the
capital city and "the people OF
Guatemala are arising to our
cause" Fighting was reported
only so miles from the capital.
An invasion headquarters had
been set up at the Honduran
town of Copan, four miles from
Guatemala'S border.
Four of the top leaders, includ-
ing the liberation army's chief OF
information, Manuel Orellana
Portillo, participated in the brief
ing of reporters there.
"Only sporadic scraps" with
Guatemalan army forces were
being fought, Orellana Portlllo
said. He added that at many
places Guatemalan border guards
had been withdrawn, leaving the
frontier virtually undefended.
Ports Reported Captured.
Earlier, the anti-Communist
forces had reported the capture
of Guatemala two chief ports,
the shipping center of Puerto
Barrios on the east coast. and
San Jose, an air and naval base
on the west coast. This claim
was disputed by the Guatemalan
government.
The rebels said two other is
land towns, Zacapa. dairy GEN.
ter near the Honduran border,
and Retalhuleu in the opposite
corner, near the Mexican border,
might we'll be in rebel hands
though they made no precise
claim.
Guatemalan Foreign Minister
Guillermo Toriello charged the
Nicaragua government with sup
porting the invasion. and or
dered his ambassador here to
protest against Col. Castillo's
forces being allowed to concen-
trate in Honduras.
Honduran Foreign Minister j..
Edgardo Valenzuela announced
he had issued "strict orders" to
military and civilian authorities
to take positive steps to see that
Honduras traditional neutral
ity in her international affairs"
was observed.
Col. Castillo, leader of the
revolution, was reported to have
established a secret headquar-
tiers inside Guatemala.
Several Killed in Bombing.
First casualty reports came
from the Guatemalan radio,
which said several persons were
killed and injured during a
bombing raid on the capital
this morning. The number of
casualties was not given.
This was the third bombing
raid on the capital. Two at
tacks were made there Friday.
Guatemalan diplomats in
Washington said there also had
been casualties from bombingS
and Strafings in Zacapa, San
Jose, Puerto BarrioS and Retail
huleu.
Except for the raid, Associated
Press Dispatches from Guate-
mala City said, the capital was
quiet. The people were said to
be taking the situation calmly.
The rebels secret radio re-
ported that the invading army
had captured seven sectors, but
identified them only by code
names.
It said all operations were
being conducted successfully,
