Panama President Impeached
In Remon Killing as Lawyer's
Confession Involves Him in Plot
Guizado Ousted;
Ricardo Arias Is
Named Successor
Ky Hi* Amdahl hw
PANAMA, Jan. 19.-1710 Na
tional Assembly today impeached
President Jose Ramon Guizado
and ordered his arrest and trial
on a charge of plotting the assas
sination of his predecessor, Jose
Antonio Remon.
Then, after almost four hours
of a special session which started
at 3:30 a.m.. the lawmakers swore
in second Vice President Ricardo
Arias Espinosa as the third chief
executive of this strategic Cen
tral American republic in two
weeks.
The assembly was summoned
to hear the sensational confes
sion of Ruben Miro, a prominent
lawyer, that he carried out the
machine-gunning of Remon at
a race track here on January 3
with Guizado’s full knowledge.
Mr. Guizado. as first Vice Presi
dent, became President immedi
ately after the killing.
Calls Btery Senseless.
Under house arrest sinee yes
terday, he assailed Miro’s story
as “senseless."
Mr. Guizado had asked the
Assembly for a leave of absence
pending investigation of the
charges against him.
But the lawmakers turned
down the request after hearing
a chamber clerk read the con
fession from Miro, who said he
was the man who fired into a
lighted enclosure at the race
track, killing President Remon
and two others.
Mr. Arias, who also is the for
eign minister, was sworn into
office at 7:16 a.m.
Mlro's confession said the
murder plot was carried out at
the instigation and with the
knowledge of Mr. Guizado and
the latter’s business partner,
Rodolfo Saint Malo. it said Mr.
Guizado’s son, Jose Ramon, jr,
also was in the plot.
Three Arrested Yesterday.
The younger Guizado. Saint
Malo and Tomas Nieves Perez,
another member of the con
struction firm headed by the
President, were arrested yester
day.
The scion of a prominent
Panamanian family, Miro said
he had been promised the gov
ernment and justice ministry in
the national cabinet as his re
ward for the assassination of
Mr. Remon. He said no money
was involved.
According to the confession,
made to authorities yesterday,
Miro carried out the killing
alone. He said he borrowed the
machine gun used in the shoot
ing from a Panamanian who
formerly attended a technical
school in Guatemala.
Mlro's confession was read by
the Assemhjy’s clerk to the spe
’cial session, which began only
a few hours after Mr. Guibado
sent the chamber’s president his
request for a leave.
Asked For Time.
Mr. Guizado acted after cabi
net ministers called at his police
guarded home to inform him
officially of the charges against
him. The president reportedly
asked to be given until 9 am. to
decide his next step but authori
ties apparently were determined
to press for his removal from
office.
In his message to the As
sembly, Mr. Guizado said he was
asking for the leave “until the
acts imputed to me through the
senseless declarations made by
Ruben Miro are cleared up.”
A lawyer in his early 40s, Miro
is widely known as an “official
defender”—a legal officer whose

Without directly blaming the
government of Nicaragua, the
Organization of American States
has put its finger on that Cen
tral American nation as the
source of an Invasion of neigh

While the OAS did not place
responsibUity for the invasion on
the Nicaraguan government, it
urged decisive action by Nicara
gua to prevent war goods from
moving across its border into
Costa Rica
Meanwhile. Costa Ricai\ forces
were reported closing in rapidly
on La Cruz, in the northwest tip
of the beleaguered country,
where an enemy band has
grabbed a small area.

Meeting late into the night,
the OAS council adopted a res

part of the war material was
introduced over the northern

The Nautilus, world’s first
atomic submarine, will start her
sea trials on Monday, about two
months earlier than expected.
The Navy announced yester
day the Nautilus would move
from her fitting dock at Groton.
Conn., for surface tests involving
her propulsion equipment. The
submarine is rigged with atomic,
diesel and electric motive power
facilities.
The vessel's sea trials were
scheduled originally for last
October, but a section of high
pressure piping burst under test
In September and time was
needed to replace this piping,
which the Navy said did not meet
specifications.
The Navy rescheduled the
trials for March, but the pipe
replacement job apparently
moved along faster than antici

A second 3.000-ton atomic

Slum Program
Commissioners Like
Report, But Plan
Detailed Study
By George Beveridge
The Commissioners today
commended a consultants’ re
port proposing an extensive 10-
year war on Washington slums
but served notice they intend
to go slowly on the matter of
adopting all its detailed pro
posals.
Commissioner Samuel Spencer
said he would study, over the
weekend, the report submitted
by the consultants, Nathaniel
S. Keith and James W. Rouse.
“I will take it up with the
other Commissioners next week,”
he said. "But I think we will
want to review it in quite some
detail.”
Col. Thomas A. Lane. En
gineer Commissioner, said he felt
the report should be widely dis
tributed to give citizen groups
a chance to express reaction be
fore the city heads go so far
as to adopt it as the District’s
official pattern for clearing
slums.
Designed as Guide.
That is precisely the basic
purpose of the consultants’ re
port—to propose a detailed guide
for bringing all possible munic
ipal and private weapons to
bear against slums. Under the
new Federal Housing Act, such
a detailed guide must be adopted
as an official “workable pro
gram” before cities can qualify
for Federal aid.
The consultants suggested 11
specific areas be designated as
“urban renewal” projetes to be
carried out during the next
decade. The “renewal” weapons
range from redevelopment, the
drastic razing and rebuilding
planned for Southwest Wash
ington—one of the 11 renewal
areas—to such less drastic meas
ures as rehabilitating structures
and improving neighborhood
facilities to prevent their deteri
oration.
Area Planning Emphasised.
The consultants stressed that.
In each instance, area-wide plan
ning must be the first ptep. In
considerable detail, they pro
posed the mechanics and ad
ministrative machinery they feel
is necesary to do the job.
Col. Lane and Mr. Spencer
said they were impressed at the
thoroughness of the report.
Col. Lane also emphasized
that the challenge posed by the
report “is not academic or re
mote,” but “very critical—a pro
gram we must go into seriously
and Immediately.”
After study and possible re
visions, Col. Lane said, he felt
the essential points of the re
port would be adopted as the
required city official program.
But among points he wants to
check, he stressed, are its cost,
particularly in view of the city’s
fiscal position.
The consultants said their II
areas contain about 65,000 dwell
ings, about one-fourth of the
city’s total. Os that 65,000
about 20,000 are substandard—
about three-fourths of all the
city’s substandard housing.
Red-Held Island Bombed
For Sixth Straight Day
sty tho Associated Pross
TAIPEH, Formosa, Jan. 15.
Four-engine Chinese Nationalist
bombers blasted Tienao Island,
15 miles north of the strategic
Tachens for the sixth straight
day today, the Defense Mins try
announced.
The ministry reported that
despite heavy Communist anti
aircraft fire all the planes re
turned safely to Formosa. The
raid was made in darkness. The
ministry did not say how many
bombers took part.
Crews reported "excellent” re
sults against gun positions and
other military targets.
Tienao is a possible staging
point for an invasion of the Na
tionalist-held Tachens, 200 miles
north of Formosa. The island
has been a daily target since a!
relatively heavy Communist air
attack on the Tachens.
On the 15th of each month
the AEC publishes reports
gathered by the planes, com
plete with maps showing areas
of above-normal radiation. Then
there’s a mad scramble for the
maps, and “within a few days
all possible claims are filed by
prospectors.”

Maryland Election
Measure Is Called
Free Press Curb
Would Require Printing
Os Political Statements
Not Labeled as Ads
Political candidates could
spend money for radio and
television time to get their views
to the public, but newspapers
would be compelled to print their
outpourings free—if the Mary
land General Assembly enacts a
bill to recodify the State’s elec
tion laws.
These provisions of the bill
drew the fire today of the Mary
land Press Association, whose
president, Norman L. Harring
ton. said the proposals “tread
indiscriminately on the consti
tutional rights of free speech
ar;d free press.”
WW Be Invited to Testify.
The association’s views were
sent to Senate President Louis
Goldstein and Senator Fred
Malkus, cairman of the Senate
Judiciary Committee. Senator
Goldstein said critics of the bill
will be invited to testify at a
legislative hearing.
Mr. Harrington rioted that:
“Section 218, perhaps through
error in preparation, specifically
permits hiring of radio and tele
vision time for speeches and ad
vertising but, except by impli
cation, does not permit news
paper advertising except for an
nouncement of meetings and
publication of a sample ballot.
“Section 221 would require
newspapers to publish anything
handed them by a campaign
treasurer or political agent, but
specifically forbids the newspa
per from labeling such material,
whatever its content, as an ad
vertisement.”
Association’s Letter.
Following is the text of the
letter approved by the press as
sociation’s Board of Governors
and signed by Mr. Harrington:
“The Maryland Press Associa
tion, through unanimous action
of its Board of Directions in ses
sion this date, expressed pro
found concern over implications
of Senate bill 24, which seeks i
to revise Maryland's election
laws.
“We recognize the need for
revision of certain aspects of the
existing law to bring it more in
line with modern practices.
“We feel, however, that the
bill, as proposed, goes too far.
Wittingly or unwittingly, by pro
vision or implication, it treads
indiscriminately on the constitu
tional rights of free speech and
free press.
“Sections 217 and 288, while
undoubtedly aimed at curbing
corrupt practices, certainly run
contrary to qur basic concepts of
democracy and our theory of
elective government.
“These sections would deprive
the public of tfaeir right to know
all there is to know about can
didates for public office and their
views on topics of public interest.
Wnrii Curb Candidates.
“These sections would curb
the right of candidates or other
citizens to express their views as
they see fit . . . whether it be
to hire a ball or purchase radio

U.N. Chief Sets
More Parleys
On 11 Airmen
Hammorskjold Says
, He Views China Talks
As Successful
BULLETIN
UNITED NATIONS. N. Y.
(JP).—V. N. Secretary General
Dag Hammarskjold conferred
today with five more U. N.
Ambassadors in the second
stage of his campaign to win
freedom for U. N. prisoners
in Red China, including 11
American flyers jailed on
espionage charges.
United Nations Secretary Gen
eral Dag Hammarskjold began a
new round of conferences in
New York today in his efforts to
obtain the release of H Americgn
airmen and other U. N. person
nel held capttive by the Chinese
Reds.
He continued huddles with the
chiefs of the main U. N. dele
gations with the assurance by
President Eisenhower that he
would have the full and patient
support of the United States in
his negotiations with the Peiping
regime.
Mr. Eisenhower yesterday
called on all Americans to forego
any talk of “reprisal or retalia
tion” while the U. N. attempts
to work out the problem. De
claring that the “fundamental
thing” is the safe return of the
flyers, the President said:
“We must support the United
Nations In Its efforts so long as
those efforts hold out any prom
ise of success.”
Seen Aimed at Congress.
The President’s statement was
said to have been aimed at fore
stalling tough talk from mem
bers of Congress, which, it is
felt, could endanger the safety
of the imprisoned men and their
chances for release.
Mr. Hammarskjold echoed the
President’s feelings when he told
newsmen that “blasting , „-.
will certainly have a response
of the same kind.”
He said meetings with Red
China’s Premier Chou En-lai in
Peiping were just the beginning
of negotiations. Asked whether
he thought these talks were suc
cessful, he replied:
“If by successful you mean
that I brought the flyers back in
the plane, you know they were
not successful. If by successful
you mean that I achieved what
I had hoped to achieve, they
were successful.”
Mr. Hammarskjold did not in
dicate how soon he expected
some concrete action on freeing
the airmen, but said he did not
think another trip to Peiping
would be necessary.
Confers With Envoys.
He conferred yesterday with
the U. N. ambassadors from
Britain, France, Soviet Russia.
Canada and the Netherlands. His
schedule today Included the
chiefs of the delegations of Na
tionalist China. Turkey and
India.
Mr. Hammarskjold first con
ferred with Henry Cabot Lodge,
jr.. United States Ambassador
to the U. N„ shortly after his
return from China on Thursday
night. Yesterday, Mr. Lodge flew
to Omaha, Nebr., to confer with
Secretary of State Dulles, who
was visiting the headquarters of
the Strategic Air Command for
what was described as a routine
briefing.
Mr. Dulles then talked with
Mr. Eisenhower by telephone and
the President’s statement was
released after that conversation.
Mr. Eisenhower said the first
reaction to the failure to win
immediate release for the flyers
“quite naturally ... is disap
pointment." He added:
"All of us are rightly aroused
that our airmen have not been
long since released by their Com
munist captors in accordance
with the clear terms of the Ko
rean armistice.”
The men were taken prisoner
