Perez Jimenez Is jailed
InAir-ConditionedC Cell

CARACAS, Venezuela, Aug.
III (AP).-Ex-dictator Marcos
Perez Jimenez was held in a
luxury cell of Venezuela's main
penitentiary today, awaiting
trial on charges Of embezzling
millions during his term in
office.
With the dubious distinction
of being the first former chief
of state extradited from the
United States, Perez Jimenez
was flown yesterday by char
tered plane from Miami, Fla,
to a heavily guarded Venezu-
elan air force base.
Then, surrounded by detec-
tives in eight patrol cars and
national guardsmen in three
trucks, he was sped to the
prison at San Juan de los
Morros, so miles southwest of
Caracas.
Permitted under Venezuelan
law to enjoy any prison
comforts he can pay for,
Perez Jimenez had a special,
aforementioned, isolated cell
equipped with a television set
waiting for him.
Endorsement Charged
In a recent court suit in
Miami, 1t was alleged that the
former dictator was worth at
least $500 million.
President Romulo Betan-
court, who had sought since
1859 to get Perez Jimenez ex-
tradited. claims that during
the ex-dictator's term in Of
flee, from December, 1852, to
January, 1858, he stole at least
$l3 million and that many
more entertainments may still
be revealed.
Perez Jimenez lived in lux
ury in q Miami Beach villa
after he left Venezuela until
his arrest and transfer to the
Dade County tFla) Jail eight
months ago. He was held there
by a 6 by 10 foot solitary
confinement cell. Justice Ar
thur Goldberg OF the United
States Supreme Court cleared
the way for extradition by
turning down Perez Jimenez
appeal for stay as being with
out merit.
The extradition move was
taken under a treaty signed by
Venezuela and the United
States in 1922.
Shows No Emotion
The pudgy 49-year-old Vene-
zuelan politician mustered a
wan smile as he entered the
plane sent from Venezuela to
bring him back from Miami,

He showed no emotion as he
entered the penitentiary.
His wife Flor, stricken at
the development, remained in
the Perez Jimenez mansion at
Miami under ISOLATION. His
daughter Margott, II, and her
husband, Lee Brook, 20, Of
Miami, just missed seeing her
father as the airliner TAXED
away on the hot takeoff strip.
Members OF the family are
expected to fly here later.
A cousin of the family, Sonora
Mariella de Perez Heredia, ar
rived last night from Miami,
charging that United States
immigration authorities had
prevented the family from
making the trip. She said Mrs.
Perez Jimenez told her that the
authorities had taken the fam
ily's travel documents.
A small rightist sector
friendly to Perez Jimenez has
objected to the extradition.
But President Betancourt was
reported satisfied with the re-
suits and still insisting that
personal vengeance was not in
volved.
To Perez Jimenez' assertion
in Miami that his return would

HAVANA, Aug. II (AP).-
Cuban authorities announced
today the execution of three

A firing squad was reported
to have shot down Rolando
Mateas Paz, Manuel Marrero
Castillo and his brother Fran
cisco Marrero, Castillo at dawn
Yesterday in Las Villas Prov
ince, in Central Cuba.
The site of the execution
was not specified.
The announcement, carried
by the Havana press and radio,
said a revolutionary court con-
victed the three of being men,
bers of an infiltration group
that landed in Cuba, July %,
carrying CHA instructions on
sabotage.
The evidence was said to in
clude these instructions, plus
arms, ammunition and money
seized from the group.
In Washington, the State
Department declined to COM
ment. There also was no COM
ment from the CHA.
The account of Cuban au-
thorities left open the posi-
bility other members of the
group are still at large.
Prime Minister Fidel Castro's
regime ordinarily describes cap
