1,000 Troops Set To Give Assistance To Nixon
The Defense Department announced today that 500 paratroopers were being flown to Puerto Rico and another 500 Marines were flying to Guantanamo Bay, Cuba, to give any assistance necessary for vicepresident Nixon and his wife when they prepare to leave Caracas, Venezuela tonight.
Assistant Defense Secretary Murray Snyder said the troops were being dispatched to help out in the event that further violence such as the incidents which took place on previous days, developed.
Government officials expressed concern there might be an assassination attempt when Nixon and his wife Pat leave the sanctuary of the U. S. Embassy tonight to fly home. The embassy is under guard.
Warm Streets During Attack Mobs like those that attacked Nixon, his wife, Pat, and local leaders here Tuesday swarmed through the streets during the night, smashing windows and shrirking anti-American slogans. Police armed with jungle knives as well as clubs and pistols strove to restore order.
President Eisenhower, "hopping mad" at the attack on America's No. 2 executive, ordered troops into the Caribbean area and instructed Secretary of State John Foster Dulles to tell the Venezuelans to take "every possible measure" to safeguard the vice-president's life.
Two companies of paratroops from Ft. Campbell, Ky., sped south in transports to Puerto Rico's Ramey Field, two hours by air from Caracas.
Other planes carried two companies of Marines from Camp Lejeune, N.C., to the U.S. Naval Base at Guantanamo, three hours' flying time from the Venezuelan capital.
A third Marine company will fly cut by helicopter today to join the

Hundreds more Marines will board sea transports in Morehead City, N. C., to maneuver in Vieques, P.R. They were not concerned directly with the Venezuelan incident but would be available if necessary for action in the Caribbean.
Demonstrators attacked the Nixon party Tuesday and the group narrowly escaped death or serious injury. Vice-president Nixon was covered from head to foot with spit and one of the mob spat directly in the face of Mrs. Nixon.
Vice-president Nixon said in a press conference that it was hard to hold your temper when someone spits in your wife's face but, "I assure those who did these things today that they never will get what they want because I won't lose my temper."
'Won't Lose My Temper'
In Beirut, Lebanon the U.S. Ambassador Robert G. McClintock commandeered an American ocean liner to evacuate endangered American citizens from Tripoli, the main provincial city where rebellion against the pro-western government erupted last week. McClintock promised the United States would airlift "police equipment" including tear gas and gas masks to help local security forces maintain order.
This came after anti-government terrorists exploded two bombs near the U.S. Embassy in the sixth day of violence which had brought this tiny mideast country to the brink of civil war.
In Hays, former governor Fred Hall charged that the Democratic regime of George Docking has "ignored the real problems of state government in its wild scramble to put the state under Democratic rule."
