Cuban winter tourist season, ae-
cording to report here, got under
way in December with opening of
two new luxury hotels, both of

Colombian Party Leaders,
Government Alarmed by
New Violence Outbreaks

1t has taken a dangerous turn with
the assassination of twelve farm
workers.
Conservative newspapers affirm
that the victims belonged to the
Conservative Party, and that, be-
sides, a number of conservative
farmers, not yet determined, were
also killed.
The murders took place three
days ago, after clashes in hague,
capital of the Department which
was paralized by a strike in pro-
test against political violence. Four
ministers who went to Ibague sue
ceeded in having the general strike
ended, and returned Immediately
to Bogota to report to the Govern
ment.
General Rengifo had an inter-
view with Carlos Lleras Restrepo,
Director in charge of the Liberal
Party; Alvaro Gomez Hurtado, of
the conservative group supporting
Laureano Gomez; Jose Antonio
Montalvo, chairman of the other
conservative group and they stu
died the situation in Tolima, con-
sidering measures tending to OBJ
tain effective pacification of that
troubled region of the country.
The Governor Of the Department
Manuel Coronado, a conservative
supporter of Gomez, confirmed
the death of the twelve farm work
erS, belonging to one family, and
said that there are rumorS about
other bloodshed occurrences, but
he attributed them to a deliber
ate purpose of causing alarm tend
ing to disturb the coexistence
plans to bring peace, which inspire
both the Government and the pc
litical parties"
Gel Siglo," Bogota newspaper
which is spokesman of Laureano
Gomez, asks if there is a plan
against the Gomez conservatives,
and editorially affirms that 'the
policies of national understanding
r facing their worst crisis" On
the other hand, the newspaper "La
R~epublica," spokesman for the ri
val conservative group, maintains
that while there is a situation of
public order of that nature, it will
not be possible to lift the state of
siege, nor to install the govern
ments and congresses with equal
representation for both parties,
which was agreed upon last year.
