Boqota Officials Resume Sessions Despite Riotina
Bogota Colombia, April 13—(UP) Chief delegates of the ninth Inter-American conference were scheduled to resume a semblance of formal sessions today despite weekend rioting that wrecked their conference city.
Delegates will hear the report of a special committee appointed to determine whether prevailing conditions make continuation of the conference possible. It is understood that a majority of the delegates favor continuation of the conference in Bogota.
One of the first items on the agenda, if the conference is continued, is expected to be consideration of an anti-Communist resolution in the strongest possible terms.
Secretary of State George C. Marshall, at his first post-riot press conference Monday, blamed international communism for the weekend of looting and bloodshed that devastated downtown Bogota and caused more than 400 deaths.
By Bibler
Mr. Marshall made it plain that he believed the Communists deliberately planned the rioting to break up the conference. In this way, Mr. Marshall said, the Communists hoped to forestall approval of an anti-Communist resolution and at the same time embarrass the Western world and try to influence the Italian elections next Sunday.
"This situation must not be judged on a local basis, however tragic the immediate result to the Colombian people," Secretary Marshall said.
"The occurrence goes far beyond Colombia. It is the same definite pattern as occurrences which provoked strikes in France and Italy, and that are endeavoring to prejudice the situation in Italy where elections will take place April 18.
