Guatemala: What's the 'Bonono War All About?

added, why the GAS. which
understands the peculiar
ground rules, should handle
the peace-making job.
Unfortunately the naive, UNI
initiated non-Latin world
didn't know about the special
ground rules. To most of the
United Nations members, the
Guatemala case looked like the
aggression in Korea and Wet
Nam, only this time OF the
anti-Communist variety.
The United Nations had
never come to close grips with
the problem of it's jurisdiction
in civil wars. But some dele
gates feared that last Sundays
cease-fire vote could some day
be taken as a precedent for
intervening in a civil war, II
it is found that this is what
the Guatemala affair is.
Whot Charter Says
The third question. about
Guatemala's right to go over
the OAS' head directly to the
Security Council, can be
answered both ways with con-
vincing passages from the
United Nations Charter. The
United States and its South
American friends cite this
Charter authority:

It is obvious that the Char
ter can mean all things to al
men in this case.
The United States side
doesn't want the Soviet Union
"meddling" in Latin American
peace making. The Soviet
Union wants to get a hand in
The votes in the Security
Council obviously are stacked
against the Soviet Union
There has been no test OF
where the votes lie in the Gen
eral Assembly. If the Guatema'
lans decide to do somethinI
more than pout, their mex
diplomatic move may be takel
there.

an AFFIDAVIT sent to the inves-
tigating subcommittee, said
the Junior Senator from Wis
consin had told the subcon-
mittee in closed session ne
had no real grounds for his
accusation that Mr.. Hensel
had masterminded the Armys
smear charges and that ne
(McCarthyl would withdraw
the accusations if he could do
so without appearing a damn
fool. +"
Mr.. Hensel quoted Senator
Mccarthy as explaining at one
time that his accusations
merely followed a pattern adj
vised by an old Indian friend
named Charlie. The advice:
If YOU think a man might att
tack, go after him first with
below-the-b belt kicks until he
is helpless.
Mr.. HenSel asked the sub
committee for complete vim

The Peace

How can peace and order be
restored in Guatemala?
There are at least three
methods. First, by allowing
the war" to be fought to a
decision. Second, by United
Nations mediation. Third. by
turning it over to the Organi-
cation of American States.
No one openly espouses the
first solution except Col. Cas-
tillo.
The Soviet Union favors the
second method, which pre-
serves for itself some voice in
whatever U. N. action is to be
recommended.
The United States and some
of it's allies, at least. would
prefer the more localized APP
proach through the GAS. This
week end it seemed they would
have their way.
Twin Koyo
After two Security Council
sessions last week the United
States and Soviet Union scored
what was in effect a double
knockout. Each vetoed the
others plan, leaving the Sc
curity Council in what amount
ed to a state of complete
paralysis. The field was open
to the GAS.
Here is how it happened:
Last Sunday Russia vetoed
a Security Council resolution
to refer the Guatemala prob
lem to the GAS. Then the
Security Council voted unani-
mously for a French resolution
demanding a cease-fire and an
end to outside aid.
Beginning Tuesday, Guate-
mala charged Honduras and
Nicaragua with diSregarding
the U. N. resolution by con-
tinuing to help the insurgents
Col. Castillo was accused OF
violating the cease-fire call
Except for involvement OF
Nicaragua, Guatemala
charges were amply corrobo-
rated by newsmen on the
scene.
Guatemala called for an
other Security Council session
Wednesday but AmbaSsadol
Lodge did not act until Friday
while the GAS Inter-Americal
Peace Committee was votinl
to send investigators to tn
area. Late Friday Afternoon

Indo-C China talks. He returned
here late in May because in
the elections of May 20 his
own constituency Of Latrobe,
near Melbourne, was in dan
ger of going to the opposition.
However, he won easily-and
his bigger tight was with con-.
servative critics who claimed
he had embarrassed Britain
and Mr.. Anthony Eden by his
part in precipitating the Ave-
power military talks in Wash
ington.
"It's my view that the coun-
tries concerned must stay In
continuous consultation on
that" Mr.. Casey insisted.
Progress is being made on the
problems and requirements OF
collective defense. This under
standing is essential to make
any negotiated settlement last.

and how they are used. it was
pointed out. No equipment
was missing from Honduras or
Nicaragua.
Diplomats Annoyed
More important, the State
Department said it was actu-
ally annoyed at the Castillo
attack. American diplomats
had spent many months build
ing up a strong Latin Ameri-
can combination to deal with
Guatemalan com nun S m
through the Organization Of
American States. Armed with
its Caracas resolution passed
by the GAS last March, the
United States was in the pro-
cess of setting up a Donation
consultation on taking sane
tions against the Red threat
from Guatemala. Mr.. Castil-
los raiders upset all this.
OF course the United States
did play a part in the case,
however inadvertently. Gen.
trail American governments
simply cannot prosper without
the blessing of the Colossus
of the North"
When this country moved so
decisively toward a showdown
with Guatemala. an inviting
climate for Col. Castillo's oper-
alton was created.
Guatemala's leaders, for
their part, lay most OF the
blame on the United Fruit
Co, which they credit with
having masterminded 35 plots
against Guatemalan govern
ments since 1914 and even for
engineering the Caracas reso-
luton against them.
Honduras Role
It was fairly obvious, OF
course, that Honduras was
backing Castillo at least to the
extent of tolerating his mo
bilization" on Holiduran soil.
The rebel headquarters was
in Honduras for the first
few days. Honduran soldiers
guarded rebel planes at one
airport visited by American
correspondents.
Guatemala also charged
that Nicaragua had helped
Castillo by providing airbases
from which bomber" strikes
were made.
Motives of Honduras and
Nicaragua for whatever help
they gave Castillo are easy &c
lnd. Guatemala's Commun'
ist groups acted as base IRON
which to infiltrate these coun'
tries. A strike in Honduras
banana plantations was cred
tied to Red agitators IRON
Evening star. [volume] (Washington, D.C.) 1854-1972, 1954-06-27

the Security Council decided
not to discuss Guatemala at
this time. The vote was 5-4
with two significant Austen
tons: Britain and France.
Brazil, Colombia, Turkey and
Nationalist China voted with
the United States. Lebanon,
New Zealand and Denmark
sided with the Soviet Union.
The vote was taken to mean
that Russia would not be able
to muster the necessary seven
votes for considering the
Guatemala issue until the GAS
had had time to probe the
matter fully.
The OAS' five-nation IN
ter-American Peace Commit
tee had voted unanimously
Wednesday to send an inquiry
team to Guatemala. Honduras
and Nicaragua. On Friday.
however, Guatemala decided
not to let GAS observers in,
Late yesterday the United
States and nine other Ameri-
can countries asked for a July
Z meeting of inter-Amerlcan
foreign ministers to deal with
the Guatemalan crisis.
Dangerous Presidents?
Delegates to the United Ma
tions worried all last week
about precedents that were be-
ing set in handling the Guate-
mala problem. These issues
troubled them:
. Is the definition Of civil
war different in Latin America
than in the rest Of the world?
0Can the United Nations
intervene in a civil war?
0Must breach Of peace
complaints go through chan
uGlS, !. Co. b4nOUSA ~ Ave- ~
gional organizations. or can
they 60 straight to the top, !. e.,
the Security Council?
Varying Definitions
When the war opened the
United States laid the ground
work for a claim that the con-
flict was a civil war involving
"Guatemalans against their
government" BY the usual
definition. however. it was
more than civil war. Hondu-
ras, at least. had helped the
Guatemalan exiIes.
But the State Department
claimed last week that special
ground rules" apply in Latin
go America. For centuries exiles
have been allowed to plot and
scheme against their govern
ment in neighboring countries
In the Latin American context
therefore, this is q civil war

and jamming Federal ware

he said. there will be an II per
cent cut in wheat acreage. And
if farmers want high supports
to continue, he said. they will
have to vote for strict Federal
controls over planting OF all
their acreage.
The announc ed moves
shaped UP as the most rigorous
controls on wheat farming IN
history. But there were no
indications that either the
farmers or their congressional
champions would do other
than accept the RECOMMENDATION
in exchange for high prices.

The Capitals attack on
slums is building UP fast.
Recent Developments in the
field include:
/. Defeat in House-Senate
conference Of the controver-
sial Phillips rider. This. II APP
proved, would have hamstrung
plans for the Southwest re-
development here and other
projects all over the country.
The rider would have denied
Federal funds to any redevel-
opment project that was not
residential. It was aimed at
the Columbus Circle project in
New York City which involves
a big auditorium. Most redev-
opment projects, however, con-
template some business or COM
mercial properties and would
have been hurt by the language
attached to the independent
ofIices appropriations bill by
Representative Phillips, Re-
publican, Of California. House
conferees backed on.
2. Orders from Engineer
Commissioner Louis Prentiss to

cials working on the proposed
new housing code to have 1t

8. Submission Of an amend
ment to pending legislation de-
signed to give the city author
ity to require property owners
to repair or demolish buildings
condemned as inSanitary. The
amendment generally would
limit jurisdiction of the Board
for Condemnation Of InSani-
tary Buildings to require only
repairs reasonably related to
correcting insanitary condi-
lions. Other defects would be
referred to appropriate depart
ments to require such correc-
lions as deemed necessary. It

Army-MeCorthy

The safest prediction IN
Washington last week was that
repercussions from the Army
Mccarthy hearings will be
heard for many months to
come. The ruckus was con-
tinuing and spreading.
H. Strive Hensel. Assistant
Secretary of Defense, opened
the week with a new attack
on Senator Joseph r. McCar-
thy's methods. Mr.. Hensel, in

port if he decided to run for
the Senate in his home State,
Tennessee.
Subcommittee Democrats
said MIR. jenkins obviously was
biased and should end his work
on the Hill. But the tiff later
simmered down. Mr.. jenkins
said he also would welcome
support from Secretary of the
Army Robert Stevens. And the
Democrats agreed to let MI
Jenkins work on the arduous
job of boiling the 7.424 pages
of testimony down to 5000
pertinent wordS-if there are,
that many.
There also was a bit Of new
business. The word got around
the Capitol that Senator Nc
Carthy had put q stan inves-
tigator, Don Surine. to work
on a preliminary inquiry into
the super-secret Central Intel
ligence Agency. And Mr..
Surine, the story went, had
been refused Defense Depart
ment security clearance be-
cause of the circumstances
surrounding his release from
q former job as FBI agent.
In other words, a person who
couldn't get sensitive. data
himself was investigating the
sensitive" CHA and presum-
ably receiving on behalf Of the
Wisconsin Senator classified
information from Mccarthy
informerS.
Senator Mccarthy was alb
sent from Washington. So

for floor fights over President
Eisenhower's farm program.
In brief the dispute is this:

controversy after the commit
tee settled down to work. A
presidential plea to attach no
strings to the program was
needed by committee members
and the bill went through vir-
tually as recommended. Sem
Tor members of the commit-.
tee, however, said they might
attempt to amend the bill on
the floor to bar expenditures
to- support any "Locarno"-type
Southeast Asia treaty with the
Communists.
Last weeks relatively auspi-,
cious start was, of course. only
a start. The authorization bill
must clear both House and
Senate; then another bill ap-
propriating the money author
lied must be passed.
