Peruvian Paintings Of Cuzeo School
to be Shown at Pan American Union

WASHINGTON DC. (PAU)-A
selection of paintings of the Cuzco
School of Peru, never before
shown in the United States, will be
exhibited in the Gallery of Art of
the Pan American Union June IL
July Is.
At the time of the conquest of
Peru by the Spaniards, Cuzco, ly-
ing in the heart of the Andes, was
the capital of the Inca empire. For
many years after 1888 it was the
most important and most populous
city under the Spanish crown in
South America.
In this great center many chur-
cheS were built requiring decora-
tons or both sculpture and pain
ting. Much of this was entrusted to
native craftsmen. Painting in Cuz-
co started to flourish in the Sc
cond half of the 18th century and
declined only after the indepen-
dence of the country was won in
the early 1905. Inthe interval, the
Cuzco Schools influence was felt
as far north as Venezuela, and as
far south as Chile and Argentina.

Latin American Diplomats Give
Enthusiastic Support 10 Report
by Rockefeller Economic Group

WASHINGTON, June II. CUPID.
= The Latin American diplomats
have expressed overwhelming sup
port for the report of the Rookie
Teller Fund, which recommends
that the Western Hemisphere be
used to put to the test the deve-
lopment of zones of regional trade
in the Free World.
The report suggests that the 2l
American Republics and Canada
open the way for a common mar
ket, which would materially speed
up the economic growth of .un.
derdevelOped countries. The re.
port requests the United States to
take the initiative with new meas
ureS aimed at economic integra-
ton.
An analysis by United Press In
ternational indicates that the Latin
American countries are moving in
that direction and fully support
the thesis of the report, in the
sense that the establishment of re-
gional trade zones will strengthen
the resistance of the Free World
to the increasing economic pres
sure from the Soviet Union.
Colombian Foreign Minister Car
los SAM de Santamaria said that
economic indignation is no longer
a matter of linking, but is imposed
by the technical needs and the
world political situation.
He added that the tendency
means that it is necessary to di.
versify the one-crop economies of
many of the Latin American coun-
tries, and to strengthen the resis-
lance of the Hemisphere to the

New Import Tariff in Mexico 10

MEXICO. - The notifications

it is expected that they will give
the Administration an additional

HONDURAS - A visit TO Anna
pala, Honduras main port in the
Pacific Ocean, allows the visitor to
enjoy the beauty of the cOuntrys
west coast section. A winding
mountain road goes from Teguci-
galpa, down to San Lorenzo, on the
Bay of Fonseca. From there, the
trip by air. From Amapala, it is
easy to visit most of the island by
car. For those who have camping
equipment, it is very interesting to
take the road leading southeast OF
San Lorenzo to levely Cedeno
Beach.
The road passes through the town
of Choluteca, from where another
strictly ~dry-weather road leads
soud to Cedeno. In this region the
visitor can enjoy roast duck and
SQUAD, which are plentiful in all
the surrounding countryside. The
trip from Tegucigalpa to the beach
takes approximately ten hours by
automobile.
From Ell Progreso, trips can be
taken by horse or mule back to the
territory of the Jicaque Indians.
Yoro, the capital of the department
of the same name, can be reached
by air, but from that point all ira
vel is by mule trail. This is the
land of the beautiful Quetzal birds,
of newly discovered "lost" tribes
of indians whom scientists had long
thought DO tie extinct, and of the
famous fish which rains from hea-
ven''. This is a very strange pheno-
menon, which was published by Ro-
bert Ripley in his believe 1t or
Not, and occurs almost annually
when after a particularly heavy
rainfall, hundreds of small fish may
be found laundering on the
ground. To this date no one has
been able to explain "they rained
from deaven".
From Tegucigalpa a road goes
north and east into the cattle-rai-
sing Department of blanche. So
rich is this department in natural
resources, that it has been called a
reservoir for the economic future
of the country. The climate is ex-
cellent, and the soil amazingly fer
tile. In this region it is not unco'
mmon for the housewives to have
a small income from the gold they
find while washing their clothes in
the river.
Juticalpa an Catacamas are the
principal cities of this vast area.
Another interesting trip is to La
La Esperanto, reached by air or
road from Tegucigalpa. This In
Indian town is the center OF a hand
-weavign industry. Farther on is
Marcala, a rich coffee growing re-
gion.
The visitor to Honduras can play
golf in Tegucigalpa's beautiful Co
untry Club, and also at San Pc
dro Sula, La Ceiba, La Lima and
P~rogreso. Horseback riding is de-
lightful over the mountain trails,
of which there are many around
Tegucigalpa and the Rosario Sill
yer Mines. Lake Yojoa offers ex-
cellent fresh-water fishing, and
there is good deep-sea fishing on
both the Caribbean and the Pacific
coasts.
Duck hunters will enjoy shoe.
ting both at Lake Yojoa and in the
mountains. There r good ocean
beaches at Tela, on the Caribbean,
and near Amapala, on the Pacific.
Tegucigalpa and other large ci-
ties of the country have good mo-
ton picture theatres, where some
Of the best films from the United
States, Mexico, Argentina and
other foreign countries are shown.

castle which had made Lourdes
the most important place in
Biggorre in the ninth century,
and which is now a musem.
Less than a hundred yards, as
the crow flies, from the fortress
is the Rue des Petits Posses and
the howell of ar old dungeon
where st. Bernadette and her
family lived at the time of the

Slightly farther away, but to
the north of the fortress, is the
Boly mill, where the Soubirous
family had lived in better days
and where Bernadette was born
in 1874.
In this vicinity too is the
Lacade Mill, which was given
Bernadette's father by Bishop
Laurence in the 1865. While
Bernadette visited this "pater-
nal home" often, she never liv-
ed there.

Sisters of Neyers, which Ber-

until she left to enter the con-
vent six years later-is several

In one parish the assistant
pastor was a little critical of
the ability of his altar boys to
serve solemn high Mass. Before
they left the sacristy, he gave
them one last instruction. "Now,
boys" he said, "be sure to stand
whenever the priest sings"
During Mass, however, he was
uncomfortably aware that his in
structions we're not being fol-
lowed. The congregation stood
when they were supposed to, but
not the altar boys.
But, Father" one Of the
boys said when the priest took
them to task after Mass. 1--WE
weren't sure whether you were
singing or not"
