Planners Seek
Senate Hearing

The National Capital Plan
ming Commission today looked
to the Senate to support its
request for Sill million to buy
land for nine small parks in
Washington next year.
The House late yesterday re-
iected this plea. 1t was knocked
out of the Interior Department
budget by the House Appro-
priations Committee earlier
this week and no effort was
made to reinsert the item dur
ing a floor debate that ended
in passage of the full s4l3.l
million department budget.
In effect. the House held
up the money because PLAN
ners already have 81 million
in uncommitted land funds
which they can use to buy
eight of the nine new parks.
Specifically prohibited by the
House Appropriations action
was the expenditure of any
money to buy one Of these
parks-a proposed 8-acre tract
from the Chinese Embassy for
a Cleveland Park recreation
center near Thirty-third place
and Woodley road NV.
The NCPC also was warned
to use extreme care" in Sc
lecting only projects urgently
needed.
The Interior budget carried
$1.3 million more that was al
lowed the Smithsonian Institu-
ton last year to streamline ex-
hibits and prepare mass dis
plays for the proposed new
museum of history and tech
nology, to be located on the
south side Of Constitution ave-
nue., between Twelfth and
Fourteenth streets NV.
The National Parks Service
was promised funds for i'm
proving Rock Greek Park roads,
development of q water sports
center near the mouth Of Rock
Greek. and the completion of
the George Washington Me-
mortal parkway in Virginia be-
tween Spout Run and Langley

turn over Power to an llustrous
Venezuelan.
A high Palace press official
who was present at the interview,
said that Larrazabal insisted that
the Government will permit free
elections and that his personal
wish and that of the Armed Forces
is that no representative of those
forces assumes the Presidency.
Referring to ex-dictator Marcos
Perez Jimenez, the spokesman add
ed that the Armed Forces do not
wish that one of its, members oc-
cupies the Presidency, under pre-
sent circumstances, when it was
just left by a man who, making
use of force, did not want to leave
in the hands of the people the
free determination of the national
destinies."
Larrazabal spoke with newspap-
erman shortly after leaving a elm
ic, where he underwent a tonsil
operation.
When asked if he would accept
the nomination for President, he
pointed out he was not a politician
and that his Government, of trans
STORY character, only had the
aim of guaranteeing freedom in
the elections, in which a new Pre-
sident, congressman and council
men will be chosen.
The final question submitted by
Hohagen was that what Larrazabal
would do if all VenezuelanS and all
political parties should unite as a
single force to request him accept
ance of his nomination as their
only candidate.
The Provisional President an
Swered:
Before such a request, as Vene-
zuelan, l could do nothing else but
to accept. However, l wish to point
out once more that my intentions
are to relinquish Power"
Newspapers and radio stations
have been stressing during the last
few days Larrazabal's statements,
in which he seemed ready to ac-
cept the nomination.
The Rear Admiral, however, has
always advanced SO many condi-
lions, that at the Presidential Pa.
lace this is really interpreted as a
negative.

THE ERRORS OF THE UNITED STATES

There are many persons who, in good faith and with
sObriety of analysis, criticiSe the United States in national
policies and, especially in international affairs, without
this being a systematic campaign alien TO the Inter Ameri
can spirit of solidarity and respect. They just point out
some errors, without emitting recognition for the multiple
merits of the people of the United States, and recognizing,
also, the success of many official acts of the Washington
Government.
These persons, naturally, contribute to orient the
United States, as their possibilities permit, because con-
Structive criticism, adjusted to the truth and pointing out
new paths, is always convenient, and on many occasions,
more than convenient, it is necessary.
The spirit of democratic tolerance of the Govern.
ment and people of the United States not only permits
that kind of criticism, but encourages it, because perhaps
there has been no other people in the world more broad
minded than this, in recognizing their errors and accept
ing that others point them out to them. Of course, when
there is lack of good faith, when the aim is to SyStematical-
ly discredit the United States, because it is convenient for
her enemies, criticism loses its generous sense, to become
just insults and libel, or denunciatiOn of facts without i'm
pOrtance, or just plain %falSehOOdS.
Those who take advantage of the theme of the United
States to diScredit this country through such ignOble means,
should never find echo in the mind a sensible people, of
those with a sense of responsibility. They confuse COM
pletely the reality of the attitude of Latin Americans, for
instance, regarding the United States, and believe that for
those peoples any attack against this country is received
with sympathy and APPLAUSE. And that is not the truth,
because Latin Americans are fully conscious of the I'M
pOrtance of continental solidarity, and even If they resent
certain aspects of u. S. policies, it is also true that in
most eases there is sincere support and Identification with
