CARACAS, Venezuela. Oct.
Is CAP).-A band Of seven ter
rorists. including two women,
robbed a loan agency for the
United States-backed Alliance
for Progress today Of about
$1,000 bolivars-the equivalent
Of $500.
Holding employees at gun
point, they smashed equipment,
painted the initials FALN on
the walls set fire to files with
gasoline and then fled in a
waiting automobile. FALN
stands for the pro-Communist
Armed Forces for National Lib
Grafton.
The looted agency disburses
Alliance for Progress money in
the Venezuelan program for
housing and farm loans. 1t is
located In the Pigalle Building
on Leonardo da Vinci avenue
in the Bello Monte section OF
South Caracas.
Detachments Operation
The band swarmed in with
submachine guns and pistols.
Painted along with the FALN
initials was a statement that
the attack was carried out by
THE Cesar Agusto Detach-
ment" of the parliamentary
organization.
An alliance official said the
office is the headquarters OF
the Venezuelan National Saw
ings and Loan Commission,
which issues charters and
funds to new private savings
and loan associations. These
associations handle housing
and farm loans. The operation
is financed through the Vene-
zuelan Government Bank, with
an Alliance for Progress grant.
University Closed
In a move against increased
leftist terrorism, Caracas Cen
trail University has been closed
until after the December !
presidential election. The uni
versity is a Communist hotbed.
The University Council or
dered the shutdown yesterday
after a carload Of terrorists
sped onto the campus with
police in pursuit. Police and
armed forces ringed the uni
versity, but did not go inside,
where the terrorists remained
safely.
In Latin America, universe
ties are off limits to police and
the army.
President Romulo Betan-
court had asked the university

last week to close until after
the election. The Communist
led Student Federation an
.nounced plans for a mass anti
government demonstration to
protest the closure.
The university councils deci-
sion came a few hours after
the terroriSts sought sanctuary
on the campus. The council
apparently feared government
forces might find a legal loop
hole permitting entrance to the
school grounds and a clash
with students would result.
