Report Ceasefire In Two States Pledged Report Promise By Red China Premier GENEVA (INS)—A ceasefire in Cambodia and Laos —two of the three IndoChina states — appeared today to have been promised by Reel China premier-foreign minister Chou En-lai. A Cambodian source told International News Service that ending the war in the two nations was one of many topics covered at a dinner Chou gave Monday night for the Cambodian, Laotian and Vietminh delegation chiefs. The possibility of truce in those areas — which have been invaded by the Communist Vietminh troops from Vietnam was reported as Chou planned to leave for’ New Delhi and talks with Indian prime minister Jawayharlal Nehru. India has much closer cultural ties with Laos and Cambodia than with Vietnam which historically has beep influenced by China. Announcement of a Communist withdrawal from those areas presumably would be well received In New Delhi, where there have been reports the Indian government was looking with increasing disfavor on Red China’s attitude at Geneva. COLLEGE (Co»tlnnr« From P—e Owe) are not wanted in Guatemala.” We had gone only ten miles down the road, when we ran into a road block and a band of barefot men waving machetes forced us out of the car. They were dressed in rags but were armed with revolvers, tammyguns and double • edged machetes. Five or six of them searched us. The others went through the car. They tossed everything in the car into the mud, cursed us and North Americans in general, and made a sign of drawing a machete across our throats. These men were uneducated. They thought Jerry’s electric razor was a bomb. ~V'* ■None of them could read outpass ports. After searching everything a swarthy man, the leader told us: “You murderous North Americans — go back to Mexico.” We drove on when he released us — but we still were bound for Guatemala City — and Rio de Janeiro if we could eras Blake it. 4 We found out that night that these gangs we ran into were “Citizens’ Committees,” sort of local I vigilantes. (Editor’s note: This is the first eyewitness proof that the Leftist Guatemalan government has armed the workers in the country to fight the insurgents. Two labor leaders of Communist - controlled worker and peasant groups announced Monday in Guatemala that the workers are ready to act with the army in repelling what were termed “the mercenary assassins.”) 1 These vigilantes stop all cars — looking for North Americans. Whpn they find one they give fhli'n "the treatment." Union, the first good — sized town we came to, the police stopped us. v We were taken to headquarters under guard. of police examined our papers and questioned us for two hours. He told us there is no constitutional guarantees — “anyone cart arrest you.” “All towns are guarded,” he said. “No one is allowed to ’ drive across the country.” Jerry and I spent the night under house arrest. There was a sentryoutside. Even in the middle of dinner we were dragged off to headquarters and "asked more questions. The next morning after four hours of questioning and red tape they let us go. During 4 miles of motoring the next day we were stopped twenty times for examination by the local gangs and the police. There was nothing that could l>e done to avoid it. Sentries shot at us in Antigua. We stopped and found out there was a blackout in effect. They expected enemy planes. When we stopped the police pulled us out of our car and shoved us down in the dirt. While several men held us down and searched .us others went j through the car. n . They then dragged us down to I an old butlding which was the police station and questioned us‘ for two hours. • 1 i Finally they let us go to a hotel. We spent another night under ’close arrest. Now we tried to dodge patrols in trying to get to the capital of Guatemala City. We thought we were going to ■ make it this time but no. Five miles outside Guatemala City we were caught by government troops. Another long questioning .began but Jerry- managed to convince them we were French and the regular troops agreed to give us J

Mayor Peter Mandich of Gary, another speaker, mentioned the 1952 slogan, "Don’t Let Them Take It Away,” adding: . v “They have taken it away—they have taken it away from the four millions of unemployed, from the distressed farmer, from the thousands of bankrupt businessmen and from other thousands rendered destitute and dependent by the calloused and cold-blooded policies of a Wall Street-dominated Washington plutocracy.” Mayor Mandich likewise assailed the McCarthy probe, saying: “If you have a television set that they haven’t taken away, you have the answer as to who 1» fighting Communism: ae to whether, it is the Republican McCarthys who are using the power of office to procure easy and favJred treatment for their friends in the army or the Democratic .administrations who mobilized that army and with It the free world la the resistance to Communism.” Former congressman Andrew Jacobs, of Indianapolis, who also talked, said Senator McCarthy had adopted- the slogan of "treasonable behavior of the other fellow," adding: "The very persistency of such charges creates lingering doubts. It disturbs our most delicate human relations — until tortured minds finely surrender—and accept the worst in order to end the agonizing doubt This is the technique of the BIG LIE. It is the technique of communism, fascism—and the present leaders of the Republican party, who use the BIG LIE just as viciously against each other as they do against ul Democrat.” Studebaker, Packard Companies To Merge NEW YORK (INS) —Directors of Studebaker Corp, and Packard Motor Car Co. announced today that they have agreed to merge subject to stockholder approval at meetings to be held 1 in August.
