t (Sec. 1) Statesman. Saltxa, Or.. WecL. June 9, 19S4 Gommie - Supported Guatemala Regime Suspends Civil Liberties By JACK RUTLEDG E GUATEMALA OP The Com munist supported Guatemalan government Tuesday suspended constitutional guarantees of civil liberties, including voting rights and freedom of the press. The government contends there k a plot afoot to overthrow it. Censors screened all local news stories and outgoing foreign dis patches. A special dejree lifted requirements for warrants for ar rests and authorized the govern ment of President Jacobo Arbenz Guzman to seize transport and communications systems. The cabinet action, sanctioned by the constitution in a time of crisis, came in an all-night session after a second anti-Communist leaflet raid by a mystery plane warned Guatemalans against close ties with Soviet Russia. A plane similar to one that dropped leaflets on the capital May 26 showered propaganda pamph lets over the West Guatemala town of Quezaltenango Monday. Although the constitution puts an initial 30-day limit on the suspen sion of civil liberties guarantees, it permits renewal of any suspen sion edict. In addition to major civil rights bans affecting freedom of speech, press, assembly, and the inviola bility of the home, the sus pension order withdraws the right to enter or remain in Guatemalan territory regardless of Guatemal an citizenship. No more than two persons can legally converse at any one loca tion. . All documents, private or otherwise, are subject to examin ation with out a court order. Habeas corpus rights no longer are in force and police may enter 1 homes without a court order. The foreign news censorship rul- j ing makes translation of all out- j going news into Spanish manda- j tory and requires submission of stories to the chief of communica tions for personal examination. In its first major local censor ship, the government ordered all reports of the leaflet raid at Quez altenango omitted from editions Tuesday. The cabinet announcement cited only the "current situation" as th$ cause of the action. Tension has been rising in this Central Ameri can country since the United States objected three weeks ago to the shipment of 2,000 tons of arms here from Communist Poland. - KTM 0NZ SPOT CwfMmfMnhrlM IIKSS ell Flem VllVSSi US' SUITAWJ Y Eva for KITTENS uu M 0 7K 1 lAJ d) n i x A Feature of Our Big Birthday Sale.
