Women Fired On
DR.. Viriato A. Fiallo, leader
of the National Civic Union,

thousands in Independence
Park but police ruled he could
not Use loudspeakers. A police
colonel told him he had orders
to take down the loudspeakers
which he claimed were being
used for suoyersive activities.
The shooting occurred in
another part of town where
800 women were marching in
silence.

Military Proposal Rejected
A few shops did open in

The party decided to con-

The first draft of the new
regulation was modified, at the
suggestion of Commissioner
John B. Duncan, to authorize
Mr.. Shea to make exceptions
if undue hardship exists in any
case.
Glasses Involved
Under the regulations pro-
visions, a recipient must be

most time possible to find q
job.
Those affected are:

hold down a job in his old oc-
cupation on a full time basis, or
who, after retraining, is deter

who has returned home. His
needs may be included in the
assistance payment for the one
month adjustment period.

Inspections Tighten
For Conveys on
Berlin Lifeline

BERLIN, Dec. / (AP) The
Russians today halted nine
United States Army vehicles for
an hour and IA minutes on the
autobahn out Of isolated Berlin
in a tightened inspection OF
American conveys on the high
way lifeline. The Russians had
warned earlier that such troop
movements were provocative
and could lead to dangerous
consequences"
The United States Army has
been moving conveys to and
from West Berlin in recent
weeks in an apparent test of
Western rights of access to the
disputed city, ITO miles inside
East Germany.
The Russians halted the nine
vehicles, forming the last Sec
ton of a l50-man convoy en-
route from Berlin to West Ger
many, on the ground there was
an error in the travel docu-
ments. The United States auto
balm operations officer, Capt.
Harry Daniels, was called to
straighten out the papers and
the nine vehicles were then
allowed to go on.
No Further Halt
The convoy movement then
was completed without further
incident. The first two sections
Of the convoy, eight vehicles
and then six about an hour
apart, had gone through un-
hindered. The convoy today
was made up of Company c, I'd
Battle Group, 9Th Infantry.
Later in the day, the Soviet
News Agency Tass returned to
the attack. 1t said such move
ments are not dictated by any
kind Of military considerations
or requirements" but are lust
a dangerous act of military
display"
The agency added that an
Army announcement of more
movements next week shows
that the United States COM
mand has decided to bring
larger units into the operation.
Explaining today's incident,
an Army spokesman said the
Russians stopped the last group
in the convoy because the orig
inal convoy order listed seven
light and two medium vehicles,
when actually there were eight
light and one medium vehicle
He explained that trailers are
counted as a vehicle on these
orders. so a correction was made
in a rewritten order.
The spokesman also said an
additional misunderstanding
arose when the Soviets stated
that a medium sized vehicle
should have been classed as
heavy.
1T was explained to the So
viets that medium is our ex-
planation of a 21a-ton truck
and they accepted that" the
spokesman said.
No Further Trouble
He also said the Soviets did
not object to the claSsifications
made on convoy orders for two
previous groups in which 2l2
ton trucks were listed as me-
dium vehicles.
The first and second group of
the company passed Soviet in
spections at the Western end

without trouble. And the Army
said no more trouble was ex-
pected for the last group that

3. Water and Electric Power.
There are cities in Latin America
where patients have died on the oper-
ating table because there was not
enough power to keep the light going.
There are cities where water is in
such short supply that it has to be
rationed. There are countries where
once-rich land is so parched for water
that it has become desert.
There was time when much Of
Puerto Rico's land was parched, too,
and we could not build factories for
lack Of electric current to run them.
1t meant straining our resources,
but we borrowed every dollar we
could for the construction of vast
hydro-electric projects. This gave us
water to irrigate our land and the,
electric power We needed so badly to
industrialize.
We ran the power lines into the
hills as well as the cities. The bare

4. Housing. Unquestionably, the
biggest single social problem in Latin
America today, the one that contrib
utes most to a sense of misery and
despair, is bad housing. There are
slums so dreadful as to be unbeliev-
able. The United Nations made a
survey in this connection. 1t found
that Latin America urgently needed a
minimum of Is million decent homes.
The problem can be beaten. 1t
must be beaten.
Governments can do their part by
clearing slums and building low-cost
housing so far as their budgets allow.
In Puerto Rico, we have provided
low-rent housing for l33,5O0 people
in the past ten years.
But the governments do not have
to do it all. The people will pitch in.
Some years ago, we tried scheme
under which the Government sup
piled concrete, equipment and fore
man. Then the people built small
houses themselves.
The response was inspiring. In
rural community after rural commun-
ity, neighbors worked together nights
and weekends to help each other
complete their new homes. That way
we were able to put up such houses
for just s4OO apiece. To date, over
1900 of these self-help houses have
been built. People pay them off at

we set up a special kind Of farm CO.
operatives in which the workers not
only drew regular wages but shared
in the profits. In addition, we distrib-
uted land directly to people for farms
of size suitable for working by a
family.
We could not give land to all the
landless at once, but tangible results
could be seen. So there was hope.

of every underdeveloped nation, I

jobs at good wages for its hordes of
unemployed, and to manufacture the
products required to expand its econ

capital is essential, and underdevel-

z. Tax Reform. One of the reasons
the rich get richer and the poor get
poorer is low taxation of those abun-
dantly able to pay, and the evasion
even of that. 1t is the curse of a great
part of Latin America today.
Very early, we undertook COM

ture to make certain that everyone
bore a fair share of the tax load.

our reforms. doubt if the nations of
Latin America can ever wipe out

inequities.

ties. Many of our people were hungry.
Most were extremely poor. Disease,
ignorance and hopelessness were
everywhere. ''The Poorhouse of the
Caribbean" we were called.
Not any more, however. By fresh
thinking and hard work, we have
raised our standard of living until it is
the second highest in all Latin Amer
ica. We have fine, fourishing dem
ocracy and the 100000 citizens of
the Commonwealth of Puerto Rico
are solidly behind it.
The last Communist who tried
for public office here received
precisely 235 votes out of half a
million.
To one degree or another, the
problems we faced are the same that
affect Latin America today. AS re-
suit, a number of Latin Americans
have come to Puerto Rico to learn
which of our experiences could be Of
help to them. There are many, l
think - always remembering that
adaptations must be made to meet
differing situations.
"Operation Bootstrap" is the
name we have given to the economic
part of our effort toward a good life.
Throughout, careful planning and
set of thorough priorities have been
our rule. heartily urge both. Poor
nations, like poor people, cannot af-

Fire Department Lists aids
For Farm Safety Week Use

aid fire fighting equipment.
Fire extinguishers or garden
hoses located at various spots
around buildings can often stop
a small fire before it gains any
Roadway.
Delayed discovery of a fire
can be eliminated by installing
an inexpensive alarm system in
all buildings where electric cur
rent is available. The system
can be rugged to sound a bell
or siren at the first sign of fire.
Call the fire department i'm.
mediately if a fire is discovered.
The fire departments number
should be posted near all tele-
phones. Many rural farms are
on party lines; everyone on the
line should get off if anyone
breaks in to report a fire.
Gasoline is being used to run
farm vehicles and many fires
have occurred from careless
handling of this highly fam
mable liquid. Never fill trac-
tors or other vehicles from a
pump or can with the motor
running. If gasoline is stored
or handled in a can, the can
should be an approved safety
can with an automatic closing
top.
All large farm buildings
should be equipped with an APP
proved lightning rod system.
All metal fences near buildings
should be connected to a ground
that can be connected to light
ming rod systems.
All electrical wiring and
equipment should be installed
and maintained according to the
local electrical code. Overload
ing of electrical circuits has
caused about 50 per cent of all
farm fires. Electrical fixtures
and bulbs should be protected
by globes or other means to
prevent them coming into con-
tact with hay, straw or other
fast-burning material.

Tax Rise
Called Aid
Counties

The recent rise in sales
and cigarette taxes in Mary
land saved Montgomery
County taxpayers an 11-cent
property tax rate increase,
according to DR.. Clarence D.
Long, executive co-chairman of
the Democratic State Central
Committee.
DR.. Long used that figure in
refuting Republican attempts
to cloud the facts" on the tax.
"Some Republicans" he said,
"are trying to make a campaign
issue out of these tax adjust
ments and are neglecting to
mention that the almost SIS mil
lion yield is being returned to
Baltimore City and the % coun-
ties.
''The information furnished
by the Bureau of Fiscal Re-
search to Governor Tawes re-
veals that the distribution of
revenue to the local subdivisions
has lifted a huge property tax
burden from the shoulders of
every homeowner in Maryland.
"In Montgomery County, for
example, local officials would
have had to increase the prop
erty tax rate by II cents to pro-
vide an amount equal to that
provided by the Governors
state-aid program. This amounts
to an increase of Sill year in
property taxes to the owner of
a home assessed at $4,000.

ready have accounted for teach
er salary increases throughout
Maryland and will boost school
construction programs in boom
ing suburban counties. The local
burden of welfare programs
also has been lightened," DR..
