By the end of 1961, it was clear
that the far left as a political
force capable of controlling the

Venezuela of President Kennedy.
Instead of the rocks and riots
that met Vice President Richard

dy was greeted by huge welcom

Decline Sets In
Early in 1962, the far left re
sorted to terrorism and subver
sion, though continuing to operate
freolv on the political front. Their;
decline coincided almost exactly
with the decline of Cuba's Fidel
Castro.
The objectives of the Commu
nists are apparent: snake inves
tor confidence in the country,
thereby creating economic hard
ships, and sabotage the presiden
tial elections of this fall.
The December elections will
mark the first time in Venezue
lan history that one freely elected
government turned over power to
a freely-elected successor.
Venezuela is vital to the West
for political, strategic and eco
nomic reasons. President Kenne
dy recognized this in the warm
welcome he gave Betancourt last
February in Washington.
"You are," Kennedy told Betan
court, "a svmbol of what we
want for our own country and
our sister republics lot Latin
America I. It is no accident that
you and your country have been
marked as the principal target in
their (Communist) efforts to elim
inate you, and all that you stand
for, and the progress you repre
sent. . ."

The committee expects to take
at least three days drafting the
final version of the bill.
So far the committee has ten
tatively approved structural tax
revisions that would net little
more than $700 million of the $31
billion sought by Kennedy to part

rate cuts.
However, some of the commit-1

the taxpayers who would be af

For example', oilmen were re-

levy on them.
Kennedy had recommended
more than $200 million in new
taxes on the oil and gas indus

were trying to knock out a provi

the right to include in their item
ized tax deductions amounts paid
in state and city gasoline taxes.
This provision would net $200 mil
lion in annual revenue.
MORE ALLIED SHIPS
WASHINGTON (UPI) Allied
ships sailing to Cuba outnumber
Russian freighters in Cuban trade
according to Rep. Paul Rogers,
D-Fla.
Rogers told the House Tuesday
that 44 Allied ships went to Cuba
in May compared to 38 Russian
vessels. Tentative June figures
show 39 Allied ships and 31 Rus
sian, and incomplete July reports
show 16 free world vessels and
14 Soviet freighters, he said.

IAC!K of milk ?
Could be, at least if you feel old beyond your
years weary, restless and rundown.
Enough doctors have put enough nervous children and
adults on enough diets of enough milk to prove pretty
definitely that three glasses of milk every Jay help
to reduce fatigue and promote mental serenity.
In fact, milk does more for your mind and body
than any other food. Try it for a month,
three glasses a day. Let it soothe you, build you,
as it did when you were a baby.
