Guatemalan President
Charges U.S.-Approved
Plot To Invade Guatemala
GUATEMALA, Guatemala, UR—
President Jacobo Arbenz Guzman
pressed charges Saturday that
neighboring Nicaragua and three
other Latin American countries
were linked in a United States
approved plot to invade Guata
mala and overthrow his leftist
regime.
El Salvador, the Dominican Re
public and Venezuela were named
in a Presidential Office commu
nique as joining with Nacaragua
in a plot to invade Guatemala
with heavily-armed infantry units
supported by planes equipped
with jellied gasoline bombs.
A U. S. State Department spokes
man called the charges “ridiculous
and untrue.” He said they con
stituted proof of an international
Communist conspiracy to break
up hemisphere solidarity prior to
the 10th Inter-American Confer
ence in Venezuela in March.
There have been frequent char
ges that Guatemala is the center
of Communist conspiracy in the j
Western Hemisphere.

Another Italian
Political Crisis As
Fanfani Voted Out
ROME, UP)—Amintore Fanfani’s
11-day-old Christian Democrat
government fell Saturday, open
ing a new Italian political crisis.
The government, Italy’s third
in six months, was toppled when
the Chamber of Deputies refused
to give Fanfani a vote of confi
dence. The- vote against him was
303 to 260.
Communist, fellow-traveling So
cialists, Monarchists, Neo-Fascists,
pro-Western Democratic Socialists
and even one of his own Christian
Democrats combined to defeat the
46-year-old Premier.
Fanfani had an ambitious pro
gram of anti-Communism and so
cial reform.
Already plans were laid for
starting the new-familiar process
by which Italy searches for a new
government. And already the
Christian Democrat press was
pointing to a strong contender:
Alcide de Gasperi, the lean old
statesman wrho guided Italy thru
eight years of stable government
after the war until last June’s
shattering elections.
Fanfani lashed out bitterly at
the Communists and pro-Commu
nists in the final d bate, calling
Communis Leader Palmiro Tog
liai;; and pro-Communist Socialst
Leader Piertro Nermi ‘‘Volga
sturgeons.”

Left-Wing Laborite Says
Dulles Is Trying To Wreck
Big Four Berlin Meeting
MALDON, England, Iff)—Tom
Driberg, left-wing Laborite mem
ber of parliament, praised Soviet
Foreign Minister V. M. Molotov
Saturday night and accused U.S.
Secretary of State John Foster
Dulles of trying to wreck the Ber
lin conference.
Driberg, a key member of the
Aneurin Bevan faction in the
House of Commons, described
Dulles as a “grinning sepulchre”
in a speech prepared for a Labor
Party meeting and declared:
“While Mr. Molotov tries to get
the Berlin conference back to
something more like Sir Winston
Churchill’s original idea of a high
level conference of wide scope
without rigid agenda, Mr. John
Foster Dulles is apparently doing
his best to wreck it altogether.” I

Red-Led Vietminh Rebels
Drive Towards Laos
Despite Heavy Losses
HANOI, Indochina, GP1—Viet
minh rebels swept around Dien
Bien Phu today and headed south
on a new invasion of Laos. A
French spokesman in Saigon said
there had been heavy fighting at
Muong Khous, 75 miles north of
the Laotian royal capital of Luang
Prabang.
The spokesman said such heavy
losses had been inflicted on the
Communist-led rebels by air and
ground fire at Muong Khoua that
it might slow their advance; nev
ertheless, the French abandoned
Muong Khoua and the rebels
headed for Muong Ngoi, 15 miles
nearer to Luang Prabang by air.
The French said crack Vietminh
Division 308 is leading the sweep,
one of the targets of which may
also be the Mekbng River, border
ing Thailand.
Temperatures in an atomic j
bomb explosion may go as high i
as 36 million degrees Fahrenheit. !
Stewards Urged To Vote
For “Neither Union” In
NLRB’s Coming Election
SAN FRANSISCO, UP)—Ruled out
of a forthcoming NLRB election
among West Coast sea-going stew
ards, Harry Bridges’ Longshore
Union announced Friday night it
would urge stewards to vote for
“neither union.”
The election beginning Feb. 10
will be between the Independent
Union of Marine Cooks and Stew
ards, most of whose members now
carry cards in the Longshore
Union, and the AFL Marine Cooks
and Stewards Union.
The NLRB refused the ILWU a
place on the ballot on grounds it
began organizing the stewards
long after the AFL union first
asked for the election.
The ILWU theory is that if
neither of the other unions is cer
tified to represent cooks and stew
ards on West Coast ships, then it
will be in position to step in and
bargain for the men.
