Ike Fears Guatemala Reds
Washington — (U.P) — President Eisenhower declared today that establishment of a Communist dictatorship in the Western hemisphere would be a terrible thing.
The President obviously was referring to Guatemala, which is a small Central American nation whose government has long displayed leftist influences.
Chairman Alexander Wiley (R-Wis.) of the Senate Foreign Relations committee urged in a speech last night that Western hemisphere countries invoke the Caracas resolution and confer immediately on what he called the "ominous" threat posed by the shipment of Soviet bloc arms to Guatemala.

(Others suggested the military equipment was to be smuggled to Communists in British Honduras, which lies on the Caribbean coast north of Guatemala.)
Guatemalan newspapers quoted a foreign office spokesman last night as saying the "purehese of arms by any country is a sovereign act." A Guatemalan official here said it isn't surprising his government might try to buy arms elsewhere since the United State rused to sell it any.
Nevertheless, the State department is seriously concerned. A spokesman said yesterday that the shipment could be considered a threat to the Western hemisphere
