The home of Gen. Luis F. Llovera Paez, who held high office under Perez, and a hotel and night club frequented by supporters of the ousted regime were wrecked or burned by the mobs. Authorities here expressed concern over the fate of some foreign residents — notably the Italians who indorsed Perez’—December drive for “reelection.” There has been no sign So far of any threat to the 40.000 Americans who live in Venezuela.
