EDITORIAL
OF THE UNITED STATES

The United States has launched and placed in orbit
around the earth three artificial satellites, which constitutes
renewed evidence of the scientific and military superiority
of this country, compared with the other world powers,
in particular with Russia.
When, some months ago, the Kremlin announced the
launching OF their first artificial satellite because poll
teal ones they have many they did it with great display
of propaganda and with well planned inSinuatiOnS in the
sense of presenting the event as evidence of Soviet
superiority.
The communicates issued by the only sources of infOr-
nation available in a tOtalitarian country, those of the
Government, were saturated with pride and defiance of
the United States and other democratic nations. And
there were some naive sectors of the free world that saw
In those Soviet statements a very serious threat for free
dom, as if the scientific and military capacity of the United
States, which is at the service of democracy, could not
overcome with time that temporary progress of Russia.
Then came the tranSitOry failure of the United States in
the attempt to launch the first satellite, and Russian pro
paganda took good advantage of the opportunity to boast
about communist triumphS.
The Washington Government saw with calm, although
perhaps with certain degree of concern, all that was hap
the people of this country as well as that of the free world.
Since then, three us. satellites are turning around the
earth at fantastic speeds and distances, with scientific
controls which allow observers from the earth to receive
data of extraordinary interest for the progress of science.
Once more, the United States has achieved positive
triumphs in the field of scientific and military progress,
which do not constitute, as in the case of Russia, a threat
their Government does not engage in the adventure of a
war against the nations which love freedom and democracy.
Everything pertaining to what is called the conquer
Of space is, Of course, OF great benefit for humanity, far
beyond the scope of direct or indirect military application.
1t is to be hoped that the latter will be always on secondary
place and that all the above mentioned progress will only
serve constructive and generous purposes.

From Texas Jail.

BROWNSVILLE, Tex. (UP). -
T~hirty-six Cuban rebels threatened
today to "starve to death" in Jail
If necessary to protest the federal
scuttling of their heavily armed
expeditionary force.
The men, mostly American cit
liens and New York residents,
were captured by the U. S. Coast
Guard Thursday as they sailed
in a 70-foot chartered freighter to
join the guerrilla warfare led by
Fidel Castro against Cuba's Presi-
dent Fulgencio Batista.
A cutter rammed the arms
laden vessel to capture the revo-
lutionaries and four Nicaraguan
crew members.
The men began their hunger
strike at the evening meal Thurs
day. They filed into the Cameron
County Jail dining room in orderly
fashion but refused to touch their
food. The Nicaraguans ate.
WILLING TO STARVE
A spokesman said the warriors
would not 'eat for a week or
month, however long we are in
Jail, even if we starve to DEATH.
Unless they post bond, they are
likely to remain in Jail until May
II, the next scheduled meeting
date of the federal grand jury.
The revolutionaries include a doc
tor and a Pentecostal preacher
who is chaplain of the force.
Bond was set at $500 for all
but one member of the group,
Antonio del Condo of Mexico City,
who was charged with primary
responsibility for the purchase of
the rebel arsenal and the charter
of their warship. His bail was set
at $4,000.
Arnoldo G. Barron, 35, of New
York, leader of the group, said
he went to Mexico City in Febru-
airy to make final arrangements
for the expedition.

cause of democracy like the United
States and they stop us" Barron

Secretary of State John Foster
