The most shocking compare
son OF this list with those OF

of Washington. The whole

and the District Government

In many cases only last

with maiden ladies. The as
sumption was that every one,
just every one, knew Miss
Heth or the Misses Heyle, ant
therefore that listing was suffi-
cient. Then, in case you wanted
to know who lived in a certain

index to streets. and with a
flick Of a few pages one could
easily determine how chic a

far from supporting the seating Of

Judd struck out against what he
called ''the myth" that ''if we win

Regardless of how Velasco
Ibarra makes out in the new con-
gress, there's no doubt of his ap-
peal to great pumber Of Ecua-
doreans, most OF whom live In
poverty and long for better things.
Velasco Ibarra promises them
roads, schools, hospitals and a
better standard of living. And he
does have a busy little welfare
program under way.
Thin and balding, the s7-year-old
Velasco Ibarra is one of South
Americas best orators. His voice
is deep, with wide range; his
diction is superb, and he Il an
excellent phrase-maker.
"Give me q balcony In every
town in the country, and ] VIII
win," he said at the start Of his
last presidential campaign.
Even his bitterest foes admit
Velasco Ibarra is an outstandingly
honest man, and win tolerate not
the slightest evidence of graft.
They admit he is able, and one Of
the hardest workers the country
has known.
But, they contend, he Is impul-
sive, violent, and has an obsession
for power.

Velasco Ibarra Tries Again
As Strong Man In Ecuador

has set up a strong man regime in
this little South American country.
His opponents charge he has
liunked the constitution by arbi-
Itrary edicts and Illegal acts.
Efforts to concentrate power in
his own hands cut short his two
previous presidencies, in the
middle '3Os and again In the
middle '40s.
Both times the army applied the
boot and sent the 6-foot, bespec-
Itacled chief executive into exile.
Both times he was sent north into
Colombia, across the nearest FROM
tier, then went to live out his exile
| in Argentina.
Two days after his Inauguration
in 1852, Velasco Ibarra dismissed
some go high-ranking army officers
and replaced them with men more
sympathetic to him. Increase in
pay and other benefits followed for
the officers.
Ell Concrete, one Of the country's
foremost Independent papers, has
supported Velasco Ibarra In some
matters, but has been mostly
critical.
Its closure in November was or
dered by the government after
Jorge Mantilla, director of the pa
per, organized a solid front of the
nations press in refusal to print
a government statement denying a
report of cabinet crisis and lam
basting the Ecuadorean press in
vitriolic terms. The paper was re-
opened at the end of December.
The government statement origi-
nally was given out as paid matter
earmarked only for several news
papers. Ell Concrete was not on
the original list. But general
refusal of the newspapers to carry
the statement, under Mantilla's
leadership, brought an army.
backed government demand that
Ell Concrete print it or else.
Freedom and reputation Of the
press were involved, Mantilla ar
gued. He refused to print the
statement. Police then took over
Ell Concrete, its afternoon affiliate,
and its radio station. Employees
were ordered out and the plant
padlocked. T b e government
charged rebellion.
Elections next June will replace
the congress, which adjourned
early in November.
/ Velasco Ibarra, who won in 1852
by big plurality of the country's
$50, 900 votes, had a large majority
in the old congress. Besides his
own followers, he had the backing
of the old-line Conservative party.
He also has the support of the
ARNE (Ecuadorean Nationalist
Revolutionary Action, a Fascist
like group patterned on the Spanish
Falange.
The government is likely to get
rough fight in June. A new Demo-
cratic Front Of opposition electors
and independents is shaping UP.
