Is gaining and dictatorship de

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. And last fall, when an

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

from one-man rule last October

cidents in that country over the
years; Paraguay, military dic

By Mhiam Gibson French,
McCalfs Beauty Editor
You have norma skin if it
is clear, supple and soft with
.cood color, do signs of either
flaky dryness or excessive oili-
nes&. Remember that normal
skin can change very quickly
with weather, diet, mental or
physical strain, or ust the
natural passage of time.
You have dry skin if at feels
taut or shows up flaky, scaly
areas under your powder. The
drying comes from a slo wing-
down of the sebaceous glands,
which also paves the way for
tiny lines and crinkles.
You have oily skin if it is gen
erally heavy-looktog with a per
sistent shine on nose, chin and
forehead. Oily skin usually has
the problems of large pores,
blackheads, blemishes and a ten
dency to over-alt coarse texture.
This skm also get dirtier faster
because the oil attracts dirt.
You have combination skin if
it's partly oily, partly dry. You
may have dryness and ftakiness on
cheeks and around your eyes with
a tendency to oiliness in the fore
head, nose and chin areas.
You have sensitive skin if it gets
inflamed or breaks out easily, inapt.
