Last February's election victory in Spain of the Communist and Socialist United Front was followed by a moderate Left Government and a radical Left rash of riots and arsons (TIME, March 30 et ante).

One, financed by the American Legion, set out from the Canal Zone with lavish equipment, is now deep in the jungle in canoes. Tom Roch popped up again, went off in search by foot with another U.
