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. -
