Heavy Casualties Caused by
Students Riots in Panama.:
Civil Rights are Suspended
Demonstrators Insult President,
Who Refuses TO Dismiss Minister

PANAMA CITY, Panama. (UP).
= High school and university stu
dents clashed with city police and
national guardsmen in bloody riot
ing over school facilities today.
Civil rights were suspended and
casualties apparently were high.
At least six persons were killed
and "a wounded up to noon.
Heavy machine gun firing could
be heard this afternoon in the
area around j. Street and Central
Avenue, an area of cafes and
shops well-known to tourists.
Firemen - manned ambulances
were shutting back and forth as
fast as possible between hospitals
and the fighting area.
Richard Meehan, a policeman
in the U. S. - run Canal Zone, was
slinghtly wounded by a stray bull
let while on patrol along the zenal
border at the top of J Street.
Three prowl cars full of ma
chine - toting Panama policemen
screamed toward the university
area at top speed as the fighting
spread in the second set of riots
to hit this city this week.
Police patrolled the city in
trucks and fired sporadic shots
into the air.
Nearly a thousand rebellious
high school students gathered in
front of the National Institute to
call a 24-hour Strike at midnight.
They heaped abuse on Presi-
dent Ernesto de la Guardia for
refusing their demand to dismiss
Education Minister Victor N. Ju-
lao and three top officials of the
national guard. The students
clashed with troops Monday that
day, and one younth was killed
and almost a score hospitalized.
The students staged a demons
tration last Monday to protest the
alleged failure of the Government
to improve school facilities during
the recent dryeason vacation. The
President Earlier had refused to
meet with them and told them to
convey their complaints through
normal channels.
After being turned back from
the palace the students, who said
they would call a general school
strike, began hurting rocks through
store windows along the city's
m commercial theroughfare,
Central Avenue.
Shop-keepers quickly closed up
and pulled down protective steel
shutters to protect their establish
ments.
The mob of jeeering students
gathered at the National Institute,

By o RUIZ

MEXICO - The Mayas, whose
great Empire extended from South
ern Mexico to a great portion Of
Northern Central America, were
the only people in the New World
who had developed a system of
writing before the arrival OF the
Spanish conquerors. P~icture-writ-
ing went into their calendar, re-
presenting days and months; it
recorded important dates in their
history and kept track of the move
ments of the stars, the sun and
the moon. Although the meaning
of all the pictures has not been In
terpreted, some of them probably
described holidays, religious cere-
monies or SuperStitionS.
The great majority of the Ma
va writings. are found on carved
on stone or wooden tab
lets, as well as wall paintings. How
ever, they also wrote books, but
when the Spaniards found them in
1850, they destroyed most of them,
believing them to be the work of
heretics. Maya books were made
from the barks of trees, which they
pounded into pulp and held to-
gether by a kind of natural gum.
Long strips were cut, and both
sides coated or washed with fine
white lime. The shiny surfaces
were painted with blue, yellow,
brown, red, green and black pic
lures. Only three of these original
books have been preserved.
The paper strips were folded
like a screen, so that instead of
turning the pages, the Maya reader
unfolded a series of sheets. After
the strips were completely opened,
they were quite long, sometimes
over twenty feet. Some of them
had more than fifty leaves, that is
100 pages. The leaves of the three
remaining books r about nine
inches long by five inches wide.
Decorated boards placed on the
outside protected the rather de-
licate b%ark-paper.
The Maya reader followed the
painted columns across the page
from left to right, as we do when
reading, but he usually did not
read from top to bottom. Instead,
he kept within division shown by
two, three, and sometimes four red
lines drawn acroos each page. IT
some of these sections extended
over eight or more pages, he con-
reading until the end. These
sections were somewhat similar to
chapters in modern books, because
each one discussed apart.cular
subject.
Astronomy, farming, weaving,
hunting, and magic were
many of the subjects in the Maya
books. They also wrote extensive
about religious ceremonies, fes-
and the different gods, since
religion was a very important sub
ject to the Mayas. Instead of be-
in one God, as most of the
of the world do today, the
worshiped many gods. Ma
among them were those
corn, such as Chac, the all-im-
portant god of rain, and the gods
Of the wind and the sun, the god
Of corn or god of agriculture.
These are the gods they wrote
more about in their books.
The Mayas prayed to their gods
and offered them all kinds Of sacri-
fees, from simple foods to human
beings. If they wanted to cure an
or have a successful hunt,
Tor example, they might offer tor
tillas, ornaments of jade or feath.
ers, or perhaps animals. But in
of disaster, like hurricanes
and crop failures, the only sacri-
they thought worthy were
hose Of human lives.
