ThK has 'x-en true in Latin America perhaps more than any where, for our '"Hood neighbor policy" has generally -.embraced tha dictators as well as the dem ocrat sou til of the border. State Department officials say they think this approach is paying off, because they feel democracy Is gaining and dictatorship de clining in Latin America. There are now more Latin American countries operating with demo cratic processes than under dic tatorships by a ratio of three to two. Happiness Wished Under the good neighbor pol icy, incongruous as it may have seemed. President Eisenhower last week sent the following mes sage to Dictator TrujiUo, the ruler who appertnly ordered liq uidation of Gerald Murphy, the Oregon aviator, "The people of th United States join me in fishing prosperity and happi- nea for you and the people of th Dominican Republic upon thig anniversary of their inde Jidence," (from neighboring Jiti, Feb. 27, 1844). iA-st summer, after his abdom inal operation, Eisenhower ran thai physical risk of flying to Fgryma to meet with all the oth- m heads of state of the western hemisphere dictators and presi dents alike in a show of good neighborlincss and hemispheric solidarity.

Ei senhower ordered a crew of Army specialists to be flown to his bedside in an unsuccessful ef fort to save his life. But, on the other hand, Amer ica has stepped in with more than gestures to help budding democracies. To Guatemala the U. S. has sent $33 million in the past three years to help stabilize a democratically-oriented gov ernment, and help it overcome a treasury deficit left by the communist-dominated government which it overthrew in tha 1954 revolt. Cranii To Bolivia Foreign aid grants have gone also to Boliva, which last year honestly elected a president and nationalized its vital tin indus try when the tin economy be came shaky. Democratic Haiti has received U. S. aid to help recover from damage inflicted by hurricane Hazel on her coffee plantations. But, also, foreign aid during the Truman administration was given the Argentine government of Juan Peron. more recently de posed as dictator. Other dem ocracies, such as Brazil, Peru and Ecuador, are being assisted indirectly by the U. S through loans from the Export-Import Bank. American diplomats point out that economic assistance is even more potent from private sources of investment. About $6.6 bil lion, or 35 per cent of all U. S. foreign investments, has been sunk into Latin America. As a result, the gross national product in these countries as a while is increasing at a more rapid pace than in the U.S. Good For Democratic Hopes All of this economic activity. they argue, is to the good of dem ocratic hopes, for it is building up a middle class with a stake in stable government which. hopefully, will help curb revo lutionary tendencies. This has a more effective long-range bene fit than assassinating a Samoza, who is immediately succeeded by his son, ore even deposing a Per on, who is followed by another undemocratic military government. Here is the lineup of Latin American dictatorships as of now: Argentina, military rule since ouster of Peron; Colombia, mili tary dictatorship of Lt. Gen. Ro- jas since 1952; Cuba, Military dictatorship of Gen. Batista since 1936, with a brief exile in rlor- ida in the 1940s when he fell out of power; Honduras, three-man military junta which took over from one-man rule last October in one of many revolutionary in cidents in that country over the years; Paraguay, military dic tatorship of Gen.

Navajo Tribe May Be One oi Richest In America Soon New York (U.R) The Navajo Indian tribe, one of the poorest in America, may soon be one of the richest. Oil developments are booming on their present hunting ground. the four corners area, located at the intersection of Arizona, Utah, New Mexico and Colo rado. The Navajo, formerly prime examples of the Red Man's plight, are becoming a leading example of what oil-based wealth can do for the standard of living and way of life of many American Indian tribes, accord ing to Petroleum week, a McGraw-Hill publication. Thraa Laasa Salas The trade magazine said three lease ' sales of tribal lands last November brought in $33,686, 327 in bonuses, 75 per cent more than in the entire previous fiscal year. Activity continues to acceler ate in the four corners, "the hot test exploratory area in the country," the publication said. Discovery of a well a week and the proposed building of a crude pipeline, means additional income through royalties for 80, 000 Navajo, it noted. The Navajo already have put much of their bonus money to work in an attempt to cut down the tribe's 80 per cent illiteracy rate Petroleum Week reported It said that since the four cor ners oil boom began, the tribe has managed to put 25.800 of a school age population of 28,000 into school. Airliners May Cross Country in 3 Hours Washington (U.R) A lead ing aircraft designer has fore cast that 1,000-mile an hour air liners soon will span the United States in three hours. Richard T. Whitcomb, design er of the "Marilyn Monroe" shaped jet fighter, made the fore cast to 40 of America s top young scientists attending a science tal ent institute meeting. Dr. John W. Coltman. man ager of the Westinghouse elec tronics and nuclear physics de partment, predicted Friday at the meeting that the "electronic light" may soon be a common feature in modern homes.
