more personally, two big groups of

'CARACAS, Venezuela (UPI) -Thtnmvotin.nrmnd
Dro-Castro ter
rorists attacked and burned the
UlS.-owncd Goodyear Tire and
Rubber Co, warehouse today.
There were no casualties but
damage was estimated at roughly
1500,000.
'Police said at least four men
were involved in the attack and
said some of them indentified by
a, warehouse night watchman
wore members of the Venezuelan
Communist party. They used two
stolen cars lor the raid.
J All Caracas firo-flghtlng equip
ment and 300 firemen battled the
three-hour blaze in the southwest
ern factory district, which burned
up an estimated 10,000 tires and
tubes, almost gutting the building.
Twentv families had to bo evacu
ated from the area because of the
dense smoke which hung In a
thick black cloud over most of
Caracas.
The attackers, members of the
anti - government underground
Armed Forces of National Liber
ation, forced their way Into tho
Warehouse at gunpoint around
dawn. They tied up three em-
ilovcs, sprayed the floors of the
tuilding with gasoline and used a
firebomb to set the fire.
Tho attack came six dnya after
terrorists raided and burned tho
' U.S. military mission office here
and forced six U.S. Army men to
strip to their shorts. Only a
month ago, terrorists set (ire to
the U.S.-owncd Scars Roebuck
warehouse In the same Industrial
suburb and caused $1 million
damage.
Several firemen narrowly es
caped death at the scene of to
day's fire when the warehouse
roof caved in. At least two fire
men suffered from smoke Inhala
tion. Today's attack came less than
24 hours after Deputy Gustavo
Machado, head of the Venezuelan
Communist party, said the Reds
not only accepted responsibility
for the terrorist raids "but arc
proud of them." .

will be selected. One of the appeal
ing reasons for its consideration is
its easy accessibility.
While liny Uruguay, which was
discussed on Monday, is one of the
smallest of the I. aim American
countries, Mexico is one of the
biggest. As a matter of fact, it
ranks third in size and second in
population (34.3 million people)
Its size is matched by a history
that is long, rich and colorful as
any in the western hemisphere
And it is a history of which its
population is deeply proud. Arti
facts uncovered less than 20 years
ago link that history with the very
beginning of man In pre-nistory.
It has been traced through a se
rics of civilizations, including the
highly-cultured Mayas and Toltecs.

Aztecs and their subsequent dra
matlc and brutal subjugation by
the Spanish. Even its modern his
tory has been fraught witn revoiu

History
- 1 tioni and international wars.
Stability Achieved
Stability has only been achieved
within the last 25 years. From
great political upheaval and radi
calism, it has swung to a conser
vative governing philosophy with
greater consideration of popular
demands. It has a social security
system, religious freedom, vote for
women (since 1946) free and com
pulsory elementary education and
a growing middle class. It devotes
20 per cent of its federal budget
for education.
Its constitution draws heavily on
the background laid by the Amer
ican Constitution, with a three-part
division of powers among the exe
cutive, legislative and judicial.
The president (who may never be
reelected), however, has consid
erably more power than the United
States President.
Trade Brisk
Another thing which ties it
strongly with the United States is
its trade nartnership with its north
ern neighbor. Five years ago, the
U.S. provided almost 77 per cent
of Mexico'i imports and took about
69 per cent of her exports.
Foreign investments aiso come
largely from the U.S.
Us economy is based on agricul
ture, commerce, manufacturing,
nuntfng and fishing, mining, tour
ism and forestry. It is currently
involved in a great reforestation
program to replenish forests. Its
commercial timber is pine, spruce,
cedar, mahogany, logwood and
rosewood.
Population Melded
Because of long periods in which
there was little immigration, the
population has been pretty well
melded. It is estimated three
fourths of Mexico's population is
mestizo (mixed Indian and Span
ish). There is practically no racial
conflict. The major religion is
Roman Catholic, although Protest
ants number about one million.
A Latin American expert in Rosc
burg recently talked strongly for
affiliation with a Mexican city. He
offered his assistance in arranging
such an affiliation.
So far, nine cities from the U.S.
have affiliations with Mexican cit
ies. Hospital News

Little River Ranger District
Opens New Ranch-Style Office
The Little River Ranger Dis-

72 by 36 feet with ruslic siding out
side and hemlock paneling and
plaster board Inside.
This is the first new building
constructed at the Glide Ranger
Station since 1949 when the new
rangers' dwelling was built. It is
planned to convert the old office,
built in 1938, to a residence, ac
cording to George H. Lyon Jr.,

Terry Seems Victor
In Peru Elections
LIMA, Peru (UPI) Mounting
returns today appeared to con
firm the victory of moderate left
ist Fernando Belaunde Terry in
Sunday's presidential election.
Most Peruvian newspapers had
proclaimed Belaunde the presi
dentelect, and he described him
self as "confident." He said, how
ever, that he would await the offi
cial outcome before claiming victory.-'
A late tally of unofficial
returns amounting to more than
SO per cent of the total gave
Belaunde 014.707 votes to 517,624
for Victor It. Have dc la Torre,
also a moderate leftist, and 419.
832 for conservative ex-President
Manuel Odria. Splinter candidate
Mario Samame had received 17,
3.W votes.
These figures gave Belaunde
about 39 per cent of the vote, well
over the 33 3 per cent needed for
election.
The outcome of the voting for
lfts congressional scats, though
still uncertain, seemed less deci
sive. It appeared probable that
Belaunde would have to ally him
self either with Have or with
Odria to muster a congressional
majority.

Phouma Blames
Former Allies
For New Fight
Vientiane', Laos fupn-Neu-
tralist Premier Souvanna Phnuma
today blamed his Communist for
mer allies for the renewed fight
ing on the Plain of Jars that has
threatened to split his wobbly
coalition government.
Souvanna issued a sharp com
munique rejecting "in toto" all
allegations made by Prince Sou
phanouvong, leader of the Com
munist Pathet Lao, in letters to
the British and Russian co-chairmen
of the Geneva conference
that ended the Laotian civil war
and "guaranteed" his govern
ernmcnt's neutrality.
During the civil war, the Lao
tian neutralist faction was allied
with the Pathet Lao.
'The entire blame for aggres
sive acls and the rupture of the
cease-fire can he laid on the
Pathet Lao and their allies," Sou
vanna said in an apparent ref
erence to Communist North Viet
Nam,
The premier questioned the sin
cerity of the Pathet Lao in sign
ing agreements at Geneva, Zurich
and Vientiane. He said those
agreements "are perhaps nothing
more in the eyes of the Pathet
Lao than a milestone on the way
toward further plans being drawn
up between themselves and their
allies."
Last week Souvanna charged
that Communist North Viet Nam
was supporting Pathet Lao ag
gression on the Plain of Jars. Re
ports from the strategic plain
have indicated serious fighting
between Pathet Lao troops and
forces commanded by neutralists
Grn. Kong I.e.
Souvanna's statement was con
sidered a strong one. Observers
said it could pave the way for
a final break between the Pathet
Lao and their one-time neutral
ist allies.
