False Premise. The invaders were recruited in Cuba in recent months by an assortment of Panamanians, including Career Rebel Rubén Miró, who was tried and acquitted for the 1955 assassination of Panamanian President José Antonio ("Chichi") Remón. The Panamanian leaders persuaded the largely ignorant Cubans that Panama was crushed under the iron heel of a military dictatorship and was yearning for freedom. The invasion was supposed to be coordinated with the plot attempted fortnight ago (TIME, May 4) by Roberto ("Tito") Arias, a cousin of Miró's and the husband of British...

Waugh; and Development Loan Fund...
Signs of Hope. There was no doubt that the Nixon attacks had a great deal to do with it. Only a fortnight ago, Panamanian President Ernesto de la Guardia managed to halt antigovernment student riots that had been going on for ten days. And only six weeks ago, demonstrating students invaded the U.S. Canal Zone and hoisted Panamanian flags to dramatize sovereignty claims. In Guatemala Communists, once held firmly in check by the late President Carlos Castillo Armas, are again able to cause trouble...
