CENTRAL AMERICA

All seems to indicate we are in the eve of a trip to
Central America and Panama of a good will mission headed
by DIR. Milton Eisenhower. There is no doubt that such
visit has undeniable Importance, in particular after the
regrettable events surrounding the tour of Vice President
Nixon.
1t is natural, under the circumstances; that there is
some concern, both in the United States and the countries
which President EiSenhOwer'S brother is to visit. For that
reason. it is essentially important to study with serenity
the reality of the situation the distinguished visitor will
find.
In some of the countries there are pOliticO-econOmic
problems that cannot be solved in the short time left before
the visit. There are, however, other aspects OF Inter
American life that may serve as symbols OF a concrete
position in the part of the United States, which will help
in Orienting the people of the countries to be visited toward
positive cordially. We take as an example the case OF
Panama. In July, 1855, the Rem0n-EiSenhOWer Treaty was
signed. Since then, the Congress of the United States
has approved only part of the legislation necessary to sup
plement the Treaty, legislation without which it cannot
be said that PanamanianS are satisfied, since it is we'll
known and it would be an error to try to ignore it
there is a constant question in that country: what has
happened, that after three years, we still do not have that
which was provided in the Treaty."
The communists in Latin America take advantage of
situations such as this. We sincerely believe that some
thing must be done, so that the Committee in Congress
studying at present the legislation which develops Point
One of the Treaty, gives a decision before DIR. Milton
Eisenhower goes 20 Panama.
The Senate approved, on August $, 1857, the cor.
responding bill. The House of Representatives approved
it on June, 1858, but with amendments which made 1t
necessary to study it by a committee headed by Senator
Johnson, Of North Carolina, and Congressman Thomas
Murray, of Tennessee.
1t would be a great step of political realism, which
without doubt would defeat communist propaganda, If DIR.
Eisenhower would take, not only to Panama but to all the
Central American countries, that message of written cor
dialty which can be resumed in a Panamanian aspiration:
Equal pay for equal work.. We are sure that legislation
making justice to Panama, living up to the provisions of a
Treaty, will be received by the other countries with a cri
terium of fraternal rejoicing.

Training Center
in Puerto Rico

WASHINGTON. CUPID. The
Atomic Energy Commission (AEC)
announced here it has awarded a
contract for construction of a ST.
266,295 nuclear training center at
Mayagiiez, P. R., under the Inter
American Atoms for Peace Pro-
gram.
The center, which will be used
to train technicians from Latin
American nations, will be operated
for the Acc by the University of
Puerto Rico.
The Acc awarded the contract
to the Southern Construction Co.,
Inc, of Augusta, Georgia, which
offered the lowest of eight bids on
the project.
Under the agreement, Southern
Construction will build a reactor
building, a laboratory, a green
house and various auxiliary faci-
lities. The reactor will be install
led under a separate contract to
be awarded shortly, the agency
said.
The reactor building will be To-
Gated on the grounds of the Fede-
raj Experiment Stations adjacent
to the University campus in Ma
yagiiez, Puerto Rico's third largest
city and a major shipping center.
The 76-by-80 foot structure will
house offices for operating person
mel, a control room and a health
physics control station.
An adjoining q, OO0-square-foot
laboratory building will provide a
shot cell" for the handling of
radioactive materials, and work
space for training and experiment
tation in a variety of nucleaI
fields.
The greenhouse will be used for
nuclear biological experiments.
Plans for the center along with
a comprehensive nuclear training
program were laid down last year
under an agreement between the
Acc and the University. Some
courses already are being offered
in Spanish at the Mayagiiez and
Rio Piedras Divisions, but no ma
jor installations have been built.

Rebel Control Of
Oriente Province
Almost Complete

CUPID. = Rebel control of Oriente
Province in Eastern Cuba is so
complete that the 100 or more
American families here can only
ask themselves who's next on
the kidnap list.
The Cuban army controls the
cities, but the rebels roam at will
throughout the countryside and
pretty well run things to suit
themselves, with occasional daring
forayS into the cities themselves.
In the Mac Bay area of Cuba,
on the North Coast of Oriente, for
example, the rebels dominate the
village of Mao and its 5000 inha-
bitants. Americans installations
there have little or no protection.
They launched their current
wave of kidnapings there last week
when they entered the town and
abducted IL engineers, 10 of them
American and two Canadian.
Since then they have returned
almost every night. On their last
visit they burned the army bar
racks in town while the army gar
rison went to sea. The army took
boats several miles offshore until
the attack was over.
Heavy army troop reinforce
ments were reported to have ar
rived to bolster the north coast
garrisons and one report said 300
army troops have arrived in the
moa bay area alone.

What The Leaders fighting

So that those political leaders
who have to carry on their fight
against dictatorial regimes may
obtain adequate support from
their fellow citizens, it is neces-
sary that every liberation move.
ment be well oriented by indi-
viduals with a sense of respon-
sibility and who are capable of
assuring the country a better
future. In order to contribute
their enthusiasm, their civic eff
forts, their political activities and
even their money, all of which
is needed in full fledged cam
paigns a st an established
tyranny, the people require from
their leaders reasonable guaran-
tees of good faith, of wisdom,
OF integrity and of aspirations
Of patriotic betterment.
It is not enough that in the
peoples mind there is hatred
towards the despotic regime and,
specifically, towards the head Of
such regime. It is also necessary
that those who, politically speak.
ing, are on the other side as
leaders, be surrounded by pub
lie confidence. Otherwise, it
turns to be very difficult to get
the people to decide to enter
into an open and relentless cam
paign, such as is needed to
provoke a. definite crisis to a
di~ctatorial government.
1t the people talking in
terms of masses do not believe
that what would come next after
the downfall of the dictatorship
will be something better, at
least in a reasonable percentage,
they will not throw themselves
into the fight, because they
consider it is not worthwhile
endangering their own security
before a government that has
no respect of the political rights
of the citizen, and also because
the people are afraid that the
medicine may result worse than
the sickness itself. And this
produces a collective confusion
that is very harmful to the ideals
of the Nation and highly favor
able to the interests Of the dicta.
torship.
Every political leader, as well
as every citizen who is conscious
of the danger for the Republic
represented by the existence OF
an antidemocratic government,
therefore have the unavoidable
obligation to do whatever effort
is possible to arouse the peoples
conscience and to convince them
that behind the fight against
the dictatorship there are sound
detectives, good theological
orientation, adequate sense of
practicalness, high moral quail
ties and a program of sincere
restoration; all that may inspire
faith to the people, 50 that they
may know that with the downfall
of the tyrannic rule there will
lie better days ahead for the suf-
fering Nation.
