Rebel Demands
Delay Release
OF Servicemen

torWith the rebels. Wollam came
to Havana for talks with AmbaS-
sador Earl Smith He is expected
to return to the jungles for fur
ther discussions shortly.
The rebels Friday released the
last of the 20 civilian hostages
they seized more than two weeks
ago, Canadian Richard Sergeant.
But only one sailor hostage has
been released thus far.
Fidel Castro, leader of the rebel
"26 of July movement, twice has
ordered his younger brother Raul,
who masterminoed the kidnap
raids. to free all the hostages "Im-
me~diately". And Friday the rebel
radio said the 20 us. servicemen
would be "set free shortly.
Reports from the US. naval
base at Guantanamo indicated that
there was hope that some of the
servicemen would be freed Friday
night. But the hopes failed to ma
\teriaiiZe,
Informed sources at the base
said the rebels obviously are hold
ing out again for some kind of re-
cognitiOn from the United States.
The 20 sailors and Marines were
kidnapped June % while return

an outing. According to reports,
they have been split into small
groups and scattered among the
rebel bands in the mountain.

us. officials were making no at
tempt to hide their irritation over
the protracted negotiations for the
release of the servicemen.
Authoritative quarters pointed
to Fidel's two strongly-worded
public orders to Raul to release
all hostages Immediately" as out
ward evidence of the alleged
break between them.
The apparent rife between the
Castlo brothers is the subject of
much speculation in Havana. Most
informed quarters agree that Raul
is feeling his oats.
The younger brother has blind
ly followed Fidel's directives up to
now. Until recently Raul had the
rank of Captain" handled press
relations" at Fidel's general head
quarters.
Since last April, however, he has
referred to himself as "Comman-
der-in-Chief Of the Second Front,
and operated Independently. Infor

ton that Raul no longer awaits his
brothers orders was his recent let

BASTILLE DAY

TOmOrrOw's anniversary will find France In a trascen-
dental crossroads of her history, trying to solve a political
crisis of immense proportions, which has shaken her demo
cratic institutions, those institutions born on July ID, 1889,
when the people of Paris took by force that fortress which
was a symbol of the absolute power of the Kings.
In concentrating tomorrow another anniversary of
the fall of the Bastille, all throughout the free world tri-
butte will be paid to the spirit of freedom of the French
people, and their glories will be remembered with emotion,
because of all that which they represent, as a heritage
for humanity.
On the eve of Bastille Day, THE AMERICAS DAILY
renews its feelings of admiration for the great and noble
Nation which tomorrow celebrates its National Day, with
sincere wishes that the heroic French people may find, at
this difficult moment, the path to democratic stability, so
for France to continue being a hope and bright guiding
light for the world.

Democracy and Order

Great harm is done to the
prestige of democracy by those
who, failing to recognize its doe
trlnal meaning and its moral
values, mistake it for systematic
outburstS of violence and at
titudes that are against the sound
practices of civilized people and
of the order understood by So
ciety as q pattern of life.
Generally, those who shout to
the air their defense of democ~
racy are not always the ones who
dignity it most with their con.
duct. On the contrary, there are
always among these irresponsi-
BILE citizens those who try to
justify their lack of manners or
their lack of civism which is
not democracy by adopting
positions of political intransi-
gence, and by acting against the
sound rules dictated by democ-
racy for the equilibrium of the
political and social relations Of
the human beings.
Assuming the responsibility Of
defender of democracy, implies
serious moral obligations. One
has to be a good citizen in the
broadest sense of the concept,
so that from the heights of such
condition, the words and actions
may gain strength, prestige and
convincing power.
When the circumstances oblige
to the vigorous defense of the
prevalence of the democratic
institutions, even to the sacrifice
of life on behalf of such ideal,
the good citizen would do it,
with recourse, if necessary, to
the use of violence as a desper-
ate measure; but he would never
step out of the course established
by the moral rules and by the
political principles for which he
struggles. And within the alb
normality of forced violence, he
does all he can to maintain high
the values of order and decency.
By acting in that way, the de-
fender of democracy wins the
respect of all, even the respect
of his enemies, and the sympathy
of all those who share with him
the same ideals. By acting in that
way, the defender of democracy
surrounds with prestige the
cause he upholds, and achieves
a moral triumph in the con-
science of the wise and honest
people.
Those who do the opposite,
creating the impression that any
fight for democracy implies the
display of attitudes Incompatible
with sound judgment and civil
lization, do great harm, we re-
peat, to the democratic system,
because with their actions they
confuse the people, making
them believe that democracy
cannot flourish and triumph
when rectitude of principles and
order prevail.

THE BIG RACE - Top political
story in Florida, of course, is the
upcoming Holland Pepper Senate
race. Every political writer in the
State is knee-deep in the story.
Little can be added from here ex,
cept a few opinions of the experts
- the members of Congress from
Florida. One said right off: who?
l never heard Of either one of
them. Don't get me mixed up in
it." The cross section of opinion
seems to be: this is not a good
time Of year to build up excite
ment over a campaign. Too hot.
Too many folks on vacation. Race
will be hard fought, but Holland
will win, Hollands roots go deep
er than Claude's; Holland has a
strong organization that goes right
into every precinct, while Claude
will depend on oratory and publ
city to win. Only eight weeks to go,
they say which won't give Claude
enough time to get off the ground.
Should be an interesting eight
weeks.
A BETTER SYSTEM? - Part of
the patronage system in Congress
is the right of a member to ap-
point Young men to the military
academies. Each Senator and Con-
gresham has an allotment, with
the possibility of an occasional
alternate" being appointed too.
But Congressman Dante Fascell
worked out a new idea when he
came to Washington. He has set
up what he calls the "Citizens Rat
ing Board" in his district. This
board personally screens every ap-
plicant and passes on his qualifica.
tons. The Congressman follows
their recommendation. Last year,
searching for candidates for An
napolis, the Board examined more
than 200 young men. The results
are worthy OF note.
Their first choice was Albert
Paul FULLY, Jr., 1921 S. W. End ST.,
Miami He was appointed. But, as
entry time drew near, and a few
extra spots opened up at the AGA.

mates were appointed: Peyton M,

having to wall his turn, was ap

THE NEW STATE OF ALASKA

The people of the United States, in another gesture
of respect for Self-determinatiOn of the citizens, has ap-
proved the incorporation to the Union, as a new State, of
the Territory of Alaska, with which this great Republic
will have, as soon as the institutional process is completed,
forty nine states.
The Congress of the United States, as it is well known,
approved the incorporation as a State of the vast Territory
of Alaska, whose geographical position is of great world
significance.
North American democracy is celebrating, with a
great spirit of festiyity, the granting of high political rights
to the community of Alaska. In the same manner, world
democracy also receives with enthusiastic applause this
fact which demonstrates the manner in which life develops
in the United States, within the nOrms of respect for poll
teal freedom of the people.
This new State of the Union is, therefore, of great
international importance, because its creation Is additional
proof of the political culture of the great North American
people.
