Rebels In Guatemala Appear Bogged Down For lack Of Transportation

Guatemalan provinces. Chiquimula, lzabci. and Zacapa. BOTH CLAIM SUCCESS

The broadcast said Pucrto Bar- rios. Guatema1a's important sea- port on the Atlantic, is isolated by the rebels and its transportation facilities are cut.

The latest government commtin- ique in Guatemala city claimed the army was successful in several battles and skirmishes. The coin- munique said army forces were defeating the rebels wherever they were met and that an undisclosed number of prisoners plus arms and ammunition had been captured. There was still no indication of a major fight anywhere.

The government said a lone rebel plane had strafed Shell Oil Co. properties. an Evangelical church, and an American-owned radio sta- tion in the capital.

TROOPS WELL ARMED

The rebels appear well armed, using brrind-new German machine- guns and older type German rifles, but the lack of transportation ap- pears to be affecting their move- ments seriously. They have to rent cars and jeeps to get around Es- quipulas.

Gasoline also is in short supply and expensive. since much of it must be airlifted.

Rebel officers are dressed in khaki and wear sidearms. but most of their soldiers around Es- cjuipulas wear nondescript clothing. straw hats and sandals. Many travel on burros. Few trucks are evident. There is still the question nf how the people will swing in the fighting and whether the rebels will keep up the fight.

This move. and the optimism of the official statements, was seen likely to increase the tempo of future nine-power Indo-China nevu- tiations at Geneva.

Both sides said the meeting was arranged at Chou‘a request. fol- lowing Mendes-Frances peace pro- mise to the French Assembly last week. Both statesmen are their own foreign ministers.

Chou left by train for Geneva after a brief reception at the em- bassy. Tomorrow he is scheduled to fly to New Delhi for a three- day series of informal talks with Indian Prime Minister Nehru.

Crime Division Of Welfare Council Opposes Legal National iolieries

TORONTO iCPi Practically unanimous opposition to the estab- izshment of legal national lotteries was recorded by the delinquency and crime division of the Canadian weltarc Council Wednesday.

Leading an attack on “any ex- tension of the privileges of gam- bling" Cation W. W. Judd of To- ronto, secretary of the Anglican social service council, said groups of illegal gambling op‘erators would only take advantage of any relaxa- tion of the present ban.

"Gambling spread the very min- ute we. permitted the psrl-mutuei. although this was done on the as- sumption that it would do away with illegal betting If anything. the bookies have. spread wider and wider.“

Gambling tended to sttrart and foster the other great social evils of intemperance and prostitution. said Canon Judd. .
