standing the value of my humble
person maintained its sovereignty
in this cas- when its flag was
going to be dishonored.
1T is a courageous attitude the
M exican government displayed,
once more showing the wisdom of
its action placing it at the van
guard in the defense of human
rights in the Latin American coun.
tries.
De la Tore was grateful to pre-
sident Rodolfo Ruiz Confines, to
other officials and to the Mexican
press for its Intervention" and
powerful influence displayed in
this horrible case.
"Above all, he added, / am very
grateful to the courageous and
noble Mexican ambassador in Gu
ba, Oscar de la Tore Regina, who
| can say, saved my life.
The exile refused to mention
the names of the kidnappers, stat
ing that he could not say if they
were Mexicans or Cubans, as they
were unknown to him. But he
said that those who hit him were
not the same persons kidnapping
him.
Later he said he could not reveal
more information in order to
save the lives of hundreds of in
nocent people. ~
The Cuban exiles residing in Me-
xico had previously asked the Me-
xican government and the United
Nations to intervene in this case.
Meanwhile the Government Mi
nistry published the following com
munique with reference to the re-
turn of the Cuban exile Candida
de la Tore:
"As soon as we were informed
that Cuban citizen Candida de la
Tore Herrera, on Friday May 80,
was missing, the government or
dered an investigation, making
all efforts to locate him. -"
"When we learned that he had
been taken to his country, we
asked the Cuban government his
localization and his d~eliverance as
he was protected by our laws in
his character of political exiled.
"The Cuban government report
ed to have traced de la Tore and
delivered him to the Mexican En-
bassy, arriving here in a special
plane from Havana.

Roy Rubottom Goes to Rio
to Discuss Latin Problems
With President Kubitsehek
EIsENHOWER'S ANSWER TO
KUBITsCHEK CALL FOR MORE ACTION

WASHINGTON june s-Roy R
ubottom, asitant Secretary of Sta.
tie for Latin American Affairs, left
for Rio de Janeiro yesterday, with
the answer of President Eisenho
wer to the call made by Brazilian
President Juscelino Kubitschek fol
urgent action to consolidate friend
ship bonds in the western Hemis
phere.
It is believed that Eisenhower has
accepted Kubitschek's suggestion
leaving, however, to the latter to
suggest what specific measures can
be taken.
The sudden departure of Rubo.
tom and the speed with which Pre-.
sident Eisenhower answered the
Brazilian note, which arrived in
Washington only four days ago,
has served to cali attention on the
Importance the US. gives to the
need of making amends in its rela.
tions with the Latin American re-
publicS in general, and Brazil in
particular.
Before leaving from the Interna.
tional Airport, Rubottom issued
the following statements:
lam very pleased with this trip
to Rio, in particular with
the mission of delivering President
Eisenhower's answer to President
Kubitschek. I am going to enjoy
the opportunity to consult with
the Brazilian Chief Executive, the
foreign Minister and other Govern
ment official, and to exchange
viewpoints with them.
"This is my first trip to Brazil,
the largest country in Latin Anne
RIGA, since I was appointed Assis-
tant Secretary of State for Latin
American Affairs. l plan to take
advantage of this visit to learn
first-hand more about this extraor-
binary country, which grows in
every way at an amazing rhythm"
Rubottom's statements reinfor-
ced the belief that Washington and
Rio are ready to revive their close
relations of World War; II days.
They suffered much with a wave of
ani-U.S. feeling, similar to the
one produced during Vice Presi-
dent Nixon's visi; to other regions
of South America.
1t is known that both govern
ments are concernd about commu-
mist propaganda, which has been
stressing the nationalist feelings
which has increased as the October
elections in Brazil get near. A new
Congress and other Government
officials will be elected.

construction of which was start

nacle has four silver doors. In the
middle of the central nave is the
Choir, with it's magnificent wood
work inlaid with ivory and mother
of-pearl, showing definite Arabian
influences.

ing arches which, the same as the
towers, is baroque style; the tiled

terestlng are the churches OF San
Francisco which has a chiseled
stone facade ornamented with glaz-
ed tiles, and a very graceful tower;
Santo Domingo, with a beautiful
portico of carved stone and a high

temple encloses the extraordinary
Chapel of the Rosary, with its
wealth of gilt, marble, glazed tiles
and intricate design Construction
of the Chapel was completed in
1890.
