R. Rubottom, Assistant Secretary
of State for Latin American AT

munists would like to capture
power in Latin America, where
they have immediate and long
range detectives.
"The United States he said
must be on the alert on COM

ca, adding that continuation of
the assistance programs in Latin
America are an important part of
U. S. foreign policy, engaged in
Strengthening and consolidating
the nations of the Americas.
Rubottom testified at recent
close-door meetings of the House
Foreign Relations Committee. A
summary of his statements was
published yesterday.
The program of foreign aid, re-
garding Latin America, includes
military assistance. to IL nations
with which the U. S. has signed
bilateral agreements, technical aid
and special programs of economic
aid for some countries.
Latin America is a very i'm
portant source of supply of mate
rails of strategic and critical i'm
portance -Rubottom said and
is essential also that production
facilities, which represent in part
a substantial U. S. investment, and
ocean lanes used by ships tran
sporting these products, r def
ended and protected.
"An objective of the military
phase of our mutual defense pro-
gram is to cooperate with our La
tin American neighbors, so that
they may be able to assume in
creasing responsibility in the de-
tense of those facilities and
routes.
The special programs are aimed
to help Guatemala, a country for
which no new funds were reques-
ted this year, since the 10 million
dollars voted last year have not
been used yet, Bolivia and Haiti.

Colombian Mission SEEKING
Coffee Price Sterilization

WASHINGTON (UP)- The Co.
lomblan Economic Mission reopen
ed its campaign urging United
to take steps to insure a steady
market for Latin American coffee.
Jose Gutierrez Gomez, Colon
blan Ambassador, declared that
the mission, after consulting with
Bogota, decided to stay here one
more week.
The mission will entertain nego-
tiation with the Export-Import
Bank of the United States seeking
for credit to increase Colombia's
reserve in dollars which has been
reduced by the drop in price of
coffee.
Carlos SAM de Santamaria, For
eign Minister, heads the mission

Ospina Perez and Alfonso Lopez
are also members. The members
of the mission arrived in this capt.
al the 10 of April and have work.
ed hard to show the difficulties
which the coffee producing coun-
tries meet.
Beside having interviewed Sc
cretary of State, John Foster Dull
les, the mission met with high Of
ticals OF the Treasury and Com
merce Department, the Loan De-
velopment Fund, the international
Monetary Fund, and to Gabriel
Hauge, Economy Counselor of the
EXECUTIVE Power.
Gutierrez Gomez reported to
United Press that the mission will
try to continue these converse
tons.
The Latin American diplomats
think their efforts have made Unit
ed States to reconsider its oppoSi-
ton to some form of agreement
with the producing countries.
AS a recognition for his efforts
in behalf of Colombia, these dip
lomats agreed to appoint Ambas-
sador Gutierrez Gomez candidate
for v~ice-president of the Council
of the Organization of American
States (OAS), position left vacant
by the resignation of the Costa
Rica's Ambassador, Gonzalo Facio.
In a period of six months in Wash
ington the work of the Colombian
diplomat has been so remarkable
that he is considered one of the
top representatives of the GAS.
Local diplomat sources here have
commented about the attitude of
the Colombian mission to meet
government sources dealing with
the foreign economy policy, in
stead of taking the matter with
the State Department and the Ex-
port-Import Bank as it has been
done in the past.

Jules Dubois Presence
in Havana

Many months ago we COM
mented here in this column
about some of the attributes
describing the personality of
Jules Dubois as a journalist ded-
icated to the profession and as
an excellent President of the
Committee for Freedom of the
Press of the Inter-AmericaR
Press Association, in which he
has given a brilliant performance
while serving different terms.
In the fulfillment of his duties
in the aforementioned institu-
ton, Dubois has not economical
effort or sacrifice to defend the
theological principles Of freedom
OF the press and to help his
colleagues in moments of danger.
Wherever a grave crisis has
arisen, or wherever his presence
has been required, he has been
there, staying as long as needed,
transmitting information to the
high officials of the Inter-Amer-
lean Press Association and going
all the way in his efforts on
behalf of democracy and of the
rights of the IAPA members.
In the course of the serious
political crisis being suffered by
the people of Cuba at the pres
ent time, Jules Dubois has been
in Havana for several consecu-
tive weeks, discharging his
duties as correspondent of the
internationally famous Chicago
Tribune and in his capacity of
President of the Committee for
Freedom of the Press. In all
certainty, he was not free FROM
risks to his personal security
nor was he free from other dif-
ficulties associated with the full
fillment of his mission and with
matters pertaining to his family.
To communicate on the phone
with his wife, the respectable
Panamanian matron, Mrs. Lucia
de la Guardia Dubois, who be-
longs to one Of the most dis
tinguished families of the 18TH
mus, Mr.. Dubois met with diff
ficulties that no doubt were
unpleasant not only to him but,
especially, to his family living
in Miami, who for very logical
reasons anxiously awaited to
hear from him.
Once more, Jules Dubois has
proven his integrity as a news
paperman and his courage to
challenge the arbitrary actions
of powerful ones, with no other
weapon than his pen in the
service of democracy, of his
profession and of the Inter-
American Press Association.
Dubois has collected many sad
experiences as a result of his
vertical attitude, but he has
doubtless accumulated also in
finite moral satisfactions that
are a compensation for the dam
gers he has faced and the eff
forts he has made.
His record lists friends that
honor him, as we'll as enemies
that, just for being his enemies,
honor him too.

ROME (UP)- Argentine Am

Rio said here only a renovation
of hearts" and a firm will fol
truth can bring about true justice
in the world.
Ambassador Rio discussed the
problems Of fright and justice"
in a lecture at the Don Luigi
Sturzo" Sociology Center. The
Center is named after 86-year-old
Senator-Priest Don Luigi Sturzo,
who founded Italy's first Catholic
political party early in this cen.
try.
In his lecture, Ambassador Rio
discussed the various theories on
the relationship between right and
Justice starting from the basic con
ceptions of Greek philosophy.
In present days, he said, there
were three main schools of though
one stating that there was an
essential link between right and
Justice, one admitting or even de
handing an opposition between
them as the Soviet law theorea
clans do, and one assuming a "pre'
carious difference" between thu
tow concepts.
These conceptions, Ambassador
Rio said, are often mixed with
each other in modern thought. A
clear distinction is urgently need

on a sound and usefal basis, h

came to Managua from Costa RIGA
that day.
According to G6meE's statements
before so newsmen and radio

saying to Fernandez: tonight we
have to see Pope" This has been
interpreted as referring to Jose FL

The plot, as denounced by Co.

tice started and continued in Costa

together with Fernandez, and once

Should We Lime Our Soils?

for the soils people to advise
you Of the corrective steps nee
essary to improve the soil for

A sample from the lawn need
only be 2 inches deep since
there is no chance Of rewofk-
ing the soil without destroying
the grass. Also, all corrective
measures are applied to the
surface Of the soil. not titled
or spaded In as Is the case for
vegetable and flower gardens.
How Theory Works
We have had many indica-
tons that this theory is i'm
portant to the health Of our
plants. Azaleas. for example,
are often troubled with chloro-
sis. usually due to a deficiency
in the availability of iron in
the soil. The chemists point
out that iron is released in a
soluble form when the acidity is
SIS or less. Plants needing
phosphates. however, should be
growing in a soil that tests be-
tween SIS and rs PHI, preferably
towards the upper end Of this
range.
To put these ideas in another
form. we might say that unless
the soil has been adjusted to
the desirable PHI level through
the addition Of lime or sulphur,
we may not get the desired re-
suits because the plants cannot
use them In the present form.
We may be wasting our money
