New Cuts Seen
By Mccormack

Representative Mccormack of
Massachusetts,. the House Dem
ocratic leader, predicted yes
terday Congress would make
further deep cuts in foreign
aid unless President Eisen-
hover shows firmness and di-
rect activity with his own
party"
The lawmaker said the addi-
tional reductions might run to
several hundred million dollars.
Mr.. Mccormack said Mr.. Ell
senhower should promptly call
a meeting Of the leaders of
both parties. and particularly
should prod Republicans be
cause that is where the strong
est opposition exists"
The aid authorization bill
for the coming year is now up
for adjustment of differences
between House and Senate
versions.
Ceilings Lowered
The House bill would set a
$3.ll6,833. 900 ceiling. The SEN
ate authorized S3,6l7,333, 900
The House bill would impose a
net cut of s727.S00.000 and
the Senate bill would trim
1927 100000.
! A separate appropriations
bill must be passed later TO
provide the actual cash.
Mr.. Mccormack said in a
statement:
1T is apparent TO me that
the authorization bill will be
much nearer the House bill
figure than the Senate bill. The
information l have received is
that there is a big shift in
Senate sentiment since the au-
thorization bill passed that
body.

By the Associated Press

The Guatemalan Embassy
said last night the assassina-
ton Of Guatemala President
Carlos Castillo Armas would
not open the way for a return
OF Communism to that country.
Although it appears evident
that the murder of President
Castillo was committed by a
Communist fanatic" an en-
bassy statement said, There
is no indication as yet of any
immediate attempt by the Com
munists to seize power"
"The assassination of Presi-
dent Castillo will not be allowed
to divert our government from
its purpose of building a truly
democratic country, and a pros
porous economy which will pro-
vide for all classes of people
a better life than they ever
had, or could have, under COM
munism,'" the embassy added.
I'VE have lost a great leader.
No president of Guatemala has
contributed more to his people
than has Carlos Castillo
ArmaS -"
Luis Arturo Gonzalez, vice
president who has taken over
the Presidents duties, was de-
scribed by the embassy as lone
of the first citizens of Guate-
mala to take an outspoken and
vigorous stand against the be-
trayal of the country into COM
muniSm."
Guatemalan A m b assador
Jose Luis Cruz Salazar said he
expected to fly to his home
country Immediately. Asked if
he might be a candidate in the
new presidential elections to be
called in four months, he re-
piled:
We'll, I don't know. I've
been in politics. I will talk to
the President and see."

Col. Castillo Armas paid a
state visit to the United States
in October and November of
1855. He visited Mr.. Eisenhower
at his hospital in Denver while
the U. S. President was re-
covering from a heart attack.
The assassination occurred
as Col. Castillo Armas and his
attractive wife, a former school
teacher were on their way to
the palace dining room aftN
attending a reception for a
group of businessmen. The re-
ception was the climax to a
week of conferences on Guate-

In 1852, embassy officials
here said, President Gonzalez
was dismissed as Supreme
Court Justice by former Presi-

time Arbenz fired the entire
court.
