Ol recent years he has been a teacher and logging operator In Guatemala. His dispatch Is exclu sive to this newspaper.) By RON WARING GUATEMALA. Central America In this land of volcanos, earth quakes and revolutions, the Unit ed States protest over the arrival of a ship-load of arms from a Red satellite is Just another fac tor In living to the ordinary man-in-the-street. He prefers to ignore them all. There has been little if any up surge of "anti-Yanqui" feeling, outside of certain closely-regimented sectors government and farm and labor unions, all Communist influenced. But the incident, to some extent, has served to pull Guatemalan factions into a some what closer unity than has been apparent for years. The pressure of outside opposition has given them a rallying point of "patriot ism." There are many rumors unsub stanted ones. One is that ail Com munist party members already have been issued arms for an im minent uprising. Another has Vic tory Manuel Guitierrez, avowed Communist and secretary- gener al of the Workers' Federation, ready to arm his "campesino" farm workers. ACORNS FROM THE WITH DEL MILNE SO WE'RE LAZY . . . At least, I guess that's what we are: That's what they told me at a hotel convention in Seattle. They said people in Oregon don't like to eat in a hotel because they think they have to dress up. Come to think of it I like to put on comfortable clothes and take it easy when I get home from work, too! That'a not being lazy it's being smart! Guess I'd better tell you. though, that there aren't any boogey-men at the Hotel Marion. We like folks the way they are and you can dress any darn way you please to eat here!

Even though political parties of an "international character" out lawed in Guatemala by the 1945 constitution. Communists under the name of the Guatemalan La bor Party form an active unit in the present official government coalition. The official press for weeks has regaled its readers with accounts of Foreign Minister Toreillo's "tri umph'' in fighting against U.S. Secretary of State Dulles' anti Communist resolution at the Cara cas Inter-American Conference. And President Arbenz in his May Day speech affirmed his faith in support of "Communist friends" in the government. There is little credence given to reports that war is imminent between Guatemala and Honduras, although there are frequent blasts levelled at a supposed "complot" based in Nicaragua and Honduras which have withdrawn diplomat ic representation and encouraged by "the country to the north." It is rather taken for granted that any attack or revolution would come from outside Guatemala be cause the strongest enemies of the current regime are exiles or prisoners. The Guatemalan army is considered loyal to the government. Communist or not. There are many guesses as to the future.

(AP Wirephoto) Oppenheimer Case Verdict Stirs Protest LOS ALAMOS, N. M. UP A na tional scientists organization Wed nesday blasted the nation s person nel security system and said the security panel's decision in the Op penheimer case "offends justice and common decency." A statement by David L. Hill, retiring chairman of the Federa tion of American Scientists, criti cized President Eisenhower and Lewis Strauss, chairman of the Atomic Energy Commission. Hill's statement was issued in connection with a security board vote barring Dr. J. Robert Oppen heimer from further access to the nation's atomic secrets.

Kaiser Aluminum engi- neers have been making prelimi- ( nary studies this spring on the j proposal to build a dam at Arrow 'Lakes. i "A dam there would firm up all of the interruptible power now i being used by our Spokane plants." ; he said. Kaiser expressed optimism about i the business future of the country as a whole. He said he believed the construction of needed hospi- . tals. highways and homes win be a big factor in bolstering the , economy.
