2 THE OSHAWA TIMES, Mendey, August 17,1964 ~ VENEZUELA VIGNETTES -- PART 1 | Red Raiders Retreat Sana = SARA, teerat ot eee atk South American republic of 'Venezuela. In .this story, Kidd, an expert on the By PAUL KIDD \ 'AS (CP) -- The day I in Caracas, the white skyscraper - studded capital of Venezuela, two municipal police agents were assassinated on a becoming increasingly isolated an hard-pressed. But although the threat of vio- lence is declining, troops con- 4 tinue to guard such strategic corner of bustling downtown © Andres Bello Avenue. Machine - gun bullets zipped from a speeding late - model American -built car and the agents, Jesus Gomez and Carlos Becerro, poe to the ground. Two days after the gunning, terrorists blew up a highway bridge 70 miles from Caracas. In another part of- Venezuela, one person was injured when a hand grenade was hurled at a National Guard checkpoint. The three incidents were prominently reported on the front pages of Caracas newspa- pers. Nine months ago, however, they would have been treated as routine news, For such acts of violence by the Communist, pro - Castro Armed Forces of National Lib- eration--known as the FALN-- were then everyday occur- rences. Today they are not. Terrorism has not disap- peared from the political battle- ground that is Venezuela. But it is fighting a rearguard action against the forces of democracy in this oil-rich South American republic. NO LONGER AFRAID After five years of terrorism, a lull has settled over the coun- try. Ang its 8,100,000 citizens are beginning to adjust to living without fear. Caracas, framed in a valley of mist - bathed mountains, is DEMOCRACY WINS hug the walls but stand unhel- meted in the middle of the streets. Ever-vigilant armored cars and tanks are tucked away, silent and out of sight, in their depots, Only in the Bachiller moun- tains, 75 miles from Caracas, is the war between the govern- ment and terrorists going on., There, crack troops are striv- ing to mop up guerrilla bands operating from scattered hide- outs. No one knows how many rebels are holding out in the rugged, jungle-covered country- side, 'but they are believed to number no more than 400, The terrorists, reported by the government to have been partly financed, trained and equipped by Fidel Castro's Cuba, -make sporadic raids on small towns and villages. FLEE INTO HILLS During such raids, they at- tack police stations and political party headquarters, seizing guns and scrawling Communist slogans on walls, Then, as gov- ernment forces advance, the terrorists flee back into the hills. With virtually no support from peasants im the Bachiller re- peaceful. Policemen no longer gion, the FALN guerrillas are installations as factories, oil company properties, bridges, tunnels and ment offices. govern- ae airports, | The memory of FALN terror: | ism, which preceded the De- |. cember elections, is still vivid. FALN forces destroyed more than $10,000,000 worth of prop- erty, mostly U.S.-owned Creole Petroleum Corporation pipelines were blown up and Sears Roe- buck warehouses were set. aflame. 60 POLICE KILLED For weeks, terrorists kept their pledge to "kill cop a day."' Sixty. policemen, at least, lost their lives. And almost every day, bullets screamed into crowded plazas, sometimes injuring or killing women and children, The FALN vowed that Presi- 'Ident Romulo Betancourt would never finish his five-year term, and warned Venezuelan voters they went to the polls to choose a successor to Betancourt, who, self. Betancourt replied by order- ing the military to go all out against the FALN. Tanks crawled through Cara- cas' hillside slums, policemen blasted rebel. strongholds with bazookas and National Guards- men set up road blocks at stra- tegic intersections. By the time the elections took place -- on schedule -- Bet- ancourt had won his battle with the FALN, Risking bullets, Venezuela's voters answered the terrorists' threats, Standing in line for up to three hours, a record 93 per cent of the electorate went to the polls. And Betancourt com- pleted his full term as presi- dent. Today, there is little doubt, democracy is winning in Vene- zuela. U.S. Boosts A-Potential Round Asian By ELTON C.
