ARMS FROM
CZECHOSLOVAKIA
TO GUINEA

UNITED NATIONS, N. Y. Apr
4Ambassador Dialo Tell, Gui-
meas youthful Permenant Repre-
sentative to the United Nations
here his week stoutly defended
the right of his country to receive
a gift of arms from Czechoslova-
kia. The Ambassador had called
a press conference here to set out
the position of his Government in
this matter. Noting that there
had been considerable criticism in
the press over the matter the Am
bassador took the occasion to
state emphatically that the arms
were not purchased, not solicited,
not negotiated for but came as a
present from the Czechoslovakian
Government. Many other coun-
tries, including West Germany
had sent gifts to the New Coun-
try which had only received its
independence last Nov. 23rd.
Pointing out that the aims of his
country are peaceful, that her re-
lations with all countries are
friendly, that his country was sur
prised and distressed at the a.
mount of infavorable publicity.
The ambassador further noted
that, Guinea has an army of on
ly 1000 men and its army is con-
sidered as a training area as well
as a defensive unit He called at
tention to the fact that when
the French left they took all the
arms and equipment Of a 10000
man army which they maintain
ed in Guinea. He said, his country
inerited a 10 billion franc def
cit WREN the. French withdrew.

There was no trouble getting
the Indian women to try out

suggested that a more power

boil water for washing. En-

were alerted. and now the

near here to the delight of the
Indians.

have proven successful with
the Indians. they are being

cook by manipulating a shiny,
