Battle For Guatemala
ins To Shape Up
TEGUCIGALPA, Honduras—65*)
A major fight in the battle for
Guatemala appeared to be shaping
up Monday at Zacapa, twenty miles
inside Guatemala.
Troops of the leftist government
of President Jacobo Arbenz Guz
man were reported in Associated
Press dispatches from Guatemala
Monday night to be assembling in
the area of Zacapa, a city of 8,000
population on the main railroad
between the capital and the Car
ibbean port of Puerto Barrios.
In Washington, the Inter-Ameri-
qan Peace Commission agreed to a
last-minute Guatemalan request to
suspend temporarily its considera
tion of a Guatemalan complaint al
leging a “foreign aggression”
against her.
The anti-Communist rebel flier,
interviewed at Nueva Ocotepeque,
in Honduras near the border, said
troops of the “Liberation Array”
wejre moving by truck toward Chi-
quimila and Zacapa. He said a
main battle may be fought at
£acapa.
The rebels announced Monday
their planes also had bombed Co
ban, a garrison town in Central
Guatemala, from a base inside the
country.
The flier at Nueva Ocotepeque
said a 5-hour battle was fought
Sunday for possession of Esquipul-
as, a cathedral town five miles
from the border, and the invaders
began moving on Zacapa after that
victory.
Three Guatemalan soldiers were
killed in the battle, he reported,
while the invasion forces suffered
no casualties. He added that 500
Guatemalan citizens, including
some soldiers, joined the rebels
at Esquipulas, and joined in the
march of Zacapa after receiving
arms.
He reported leaflets containing
an ultimatum for the surrender of
Zacapa and Chitjuimula had been
dropped at both places by rebel
planes.
Private reports reaching Guate
mala City said renewed fighting
had broken out Monday at Puerto
Barrios, which the rebels have been
trying to take since the invasion
started.
