Fall of Venezuela To Communism Would Be Big Help To Castro Cuba
Edilor't nottt The following
article, last in a series ol Ilv,
was prepared by Phil New
torn, United fru Interna
tional foreign newt analyit,
after a 2S.000 - mile trip
through South America.
By PHIL NEWSOM
UPI Foreign Newt Analyit
Caracas, Venezuela - Com
munism is on the retreat in
Venezuela.
This is important news. For
if Communism were to take
over Venezuela, Castro Cuba
would have Its oil problems
solved and Soviet Russia
would be relieved of a tre
mendous burden.
And if democracy were to
fail in Venezuela, despite nat
ural wealth which includes
$3 million a day from oil
alone, then the prospects of
the success for the goals for
the Alliance for Progress
would be dim Indeed through
the whole of South America.
Venezuela is not totally
peaceful, for as the Commu
nists and the Castroites have
failed to gain a popular fol
lowing they have turned to
terrorism. Hand grenades ex
plode in populous streets at
night and Communist youth:
battle police in gun fights in
which at least 60 police or
army guardsmen have been
killed.
Plots Uncovered
Fires causing millions of
dollars of damage have gut,
ted properties owned by Sears
Roebuck and Chiclet. Oil
pipelines have been blown up.
Plots against American ci
garette, automobile and film
companies have been uncov
ered and thwarted.
But Venezuela's tough in
terior minister, Carlos And
res Perez, regards these as a
dying gasp. They have not
prevented an increasing re
turn of foreign investment
and not for more than a year
have the Communists been
successful in staging street
riots.
Today's story of Venezuela
largely is the story of a stock
ily built man in horn-rimmed
spectacles who sometimes
goes under the nickname
"Papa Pipa" - papa with the
pipe.
He is President , Romulo
Betancourt who took office
Feb. 13, 1959. and who, in
March, 1964, has the prospect
of turning over his office for
the first time in Venezuelan
history to a peacefully elected
successor.
Betancourt already has
served in office longer than
any of his elected predecessors.
Betancourt took office Just
at Venezuela was emerging
from the dictatorship of Mar
cos Perez Jiminez. The coun
try, with a population of oniy
about Vh million, was. $400
million in debt.

Nervous 'Lump in Throat'
What is "globus hysteri
cus?" A number of women
write to a.sk mc this question
because their
doctors have
told them that
they have it.
I imagine that
the doctors
are right, be
cause "glo
bus," as we
physicians of
ten call it for
short, is an ex
tremely common complaint of
nervous women.
Any old doctor who has
been listening to patients for
40 or 50 years can recognize
the story the minute he hears
it: he recognizes it like the
face of an old friend. He
hardly has to examine the
woman to see if there is any
thing wrong in her throat.
I imagine that in most
cases, he doesn't examine her,
and yet he is perfectly right
in his diagnosis. If he were
to call in the best throat spe
cialists in the country, they
couldn't find anything wrong.
Actually, many of us "nor
mal" people can get a "lump
in the throat" when we see
a sad play - or even when
we feel thrilled by some
thing. If I remember my an
cient history correctly, the
Greek doctors of 400 years
before Christ knew this symp
tom well, only they had the
Idea that the "lump" in the
throat of a woman was her
womb, which had moved up
into her throat. In Greek,

hystcra means womb.
If the old physicians had
been more observant, they
would have noticed that men,
especially in battle, can be
come Just as hysterical as
women. Curiously, I don t re
member ever having seen
man who was complaining of
globus hystericus.
Can Breathe Perfect
A highly nervous woman
should never get at all wor
ried when she feels as if there
is a lump caught in her throat.
She should note that she can
swallow all right; her swal
lowed food goes down and it
doesn't come up, as it would
if there were some obstruction
in her gullet. She can breathe
perfectly, so the doctor knows
that there la no obstruction
in her voice box or the trachea
and bronchi, which carry air
into and out of the lungs.
, Another way in which a
woman may know that the
"lump in her throat" is not
bad or dangerous or likely to
"turn into anything" is to
remember that usually it
soon goes away, as her sad
ness eases. She may also re
member that she has had
many such spells throughout
her life, that the "lump" usu
ally comes when she is dis
tressed emotionally.
Some physicians think that
the feeling of a lump in the
throat is due to contractions
In certain muscles in the
throat and neck, and they
may be right, but the feeling
MAY be produced entirely in
the brain.
Usually, there is no treat
ment needed, because the
"lump" soon disappears by
Itself. If it should show a
tendency to remain, as after
the death of a loved one, a
tranquilizer or sedative might
help.

What Does a Mouthful of
Moiauitoei Taste Like
A mouthful of mosquitoes
has a decided moldy taste.
They are not good but slightly
easier to set along with in
nne'a mouth than in the nose
where they tickle, or in the
eves where they hurt.
It is almost useless to spit
them out, for when the mouth
is open another bunch rusnes
in. On the tongue they make
a funny vibration for a min
ute before they drown or get
too wet to buzz-then they are
soggy.
I was trying to breathe as
I walked along a Jungle path
at the edge of a large swamp.
At every step a cloud of mos
quitoes swarmed up and began
circling about my neaa. mere
were so many it was impos
sible to take a breath unless
cupped my hand oyer my
mouth to strain out the bulk
of the bodies. It was the few
hundred that got through,
with every breath, that tasted
so bad.
Became Frantic
At first I tired breathing
through my nose. That was
punishment. The bugs became
frantic when they found them
selves there; they set up a
high pitched buzz that actual
ly shook my entire head. I
had stuffed cotton in my
ears, so all I had to worry
about was my mouth, nose and
eyes.
I saved my nose by breath
ing through my mouth with
my hand over it, but mosqui
toes are hard on a person's
eyes. By closing mine until
they were mere slits, 1 found
1 ran into trees and fell into
mud holes. After I hit a large
solid tree I backed away
dazed, but the mosquitoes
stayed with me.
I was lugging along with
me a diving mask I intended
to use in a deep part of a near
by lake. This gadget offered,
what I hoped would be, a so
lution. It was a glass fronted
affair with a long, pretzel-
shaped snorkel tube attached.
I put the mask over my face,
covering up my eyes, nose
and mouth. I looked out
through the glass porthole at
the million frustrated mosqui
toes. The end of the snorkel
tube stuck up above my head
like the antenna of some giant
bug. I must have looked like
something from another world
to the mosquito horde that
swarmed about me.
J , watched the circling
swarm before the faceplate;
my breath was coming down
clear, unclutered and bugless.
I figured I had it made. How
marvelous, I tiiought, the in
genuity of the unknown man
who designed and built this
wonderful contraption with
which a man can see and
breath under water, or even
make a monkey of a couple of
million mosquitoes.
I felt as if I owed that man
a debt of gratitude. How very
silly those bevies of bugs
looked; the stupid Jerks duzz
ing about my head, little sus
pecting that I through the
magic of mechanics, was
breathing normally and seeing
right through them.
Foresight
The man who made that
gadget had foresight. For the
first time in hours I could
take a deep breath. Although
there "was no ointment which
they could get into," those
mosquitoes by some disgust
ing knowledge, were planning
a new strategy. They must
have sensed where I was get
ting my air from, and as a
single unit they ascented a
few inches.
My deep breath sucked a
screaming horde into my face
plate. What didn't go directly
into my mouth and nose, buzz
ed furiously in the little open
space in front of my face. In
ventive genius had let me
down. I tore off the mask. The
musty taste was strong and
sickening; not sweet, bitter, or
sour - just nauseously musty.
Stalemate on Oregon
Marshal Continues
Washington -flat- Members
of the Oregon congressional
delegation Wednesday were
unable to break a stalemate
over recommendation of a
Democrat for U.S. marshal for
the state. The post is still held
by Paul Kearney, a Republi
can, and indications were he
may remain in the job several
more months.
Such positions normally
change when another politi
cal party takes over the administration.

Venezuela today has 700
million in foreign credits and
its foreign debt has been re
duced to $160 million. The

est currencies in South
America.
In Betancourt's four years,
he has been the target of one
assassination attempt and
four major military revolts.
From the assassination at
tempt he still bears the scars
on his face and hands.
Government efforts and en
couraging facts and figures
are one thing, but in Venezu
ela something else also is oc
curring that is among the
most heartening in all of
South America.
It is a phenomenon affect
ing the "barrios," the slum
villages whose shacks crawl
wretchedly up the sides ofrthe
hills surrounding Caracas.
One of these is the Alia-
nista area. In the Altanista
area is a little barrio called
La Linea" because a rail line
once ran there. .
Red Leadership Toppled
It is noteworthy for the
political change which has
seized leadership from the
Communists there and for an
American girl named Wini
fred Marich, a blonde 25-
year-old graduate of the Uni
versity of California at Los
Angeles who could be a
beauty queen on any campus.
Winifred is a member of a
unique organization called Ac-
cion en Venezuela, founded
several years ago by another
UCLA graduate, Joseph
Blatchford, who now makes
his headquarters in Caracas.
Accion en Venezuela pre
dated the U.S. Peace Corps
and its members moved direct

Among the slum shacks and
their dwellers, Winifred Mar
ich has worked for the last
year and a half.
Vigorous Campaign
Communist youths tore
down a fence which had been
erected to prevent children
falling to their deaths down
the precipitous hillsides.
Communist leaders cam
paigned vigorously against
Accion en Venezuela.
But the Reds were fighting
a losing battle.
Today, the man who threat
ened or endangered the tall,
