Puerto R i c a n government
agents yesterday arrested 19
persons described as leftists on
conspiracy and concealed wea-
pons charges.
The arrests seem related to
the outbreaks of violence in pro-
test of the draft underlining
growing support for Puerto Ri-
can independence. The out-
breaks have received scant cov-
erage in the North American
media.
The invasion of t h e ROTC
building at t h e University of
Puerto Rico and the destruction
of a department store last week
are just two of the violent ex-
pressions for independence that
conflict with statements favor-
ing statehood made by Luis A.
Ferre, the governor of Puerto
Rico.

"Ferre has been trying to are-
ate the image that Puerto Ri-
cans want statehood for Puerto
Rico," Rodolfo Rodriguez, grad,
says, "but he has not been able
to forsee that his actions were
going to speed up a process of
political polarization."
Rodriguez says "Recent events
in Puerto Rico show things are
happening there which are dif-
ferent than what one would be-
lieve through the UPI and AP
cables. Is it that the truth ne-
gates Ferres ' pre - fabricated
image of Puerto Rico as a para-
dise for investors and tourism,
as a land that 'proudly' desires
statehood?" Rodriguez believes
this image is being destroyed by
the 'indep'endistas' of t h e is-
land.
One 'independista' group, the
Armed Commandos for Libera-

tion (CAL) has threatened to
kill one resident from the main-
land for every Puero Rican who
is imprisoned for dodging the
draft.
Despite CAL's threats, Edwing
Feliciano Grafals was sentenced
to a year in prison last week.
Grafals said "moral, political,
and religious convictions" kept
him from participating in the
war.
He was the first-Puerto Rican
to be convicted for draft evasion
since World War II.
The sentence triggered an im-
mediate protest demonstration
at the University of Puerto Rico,
where a crowd estimated by the
San Juan Star at 2,000 students
surged onto ROTC grounds.
Students invaded the ROTC
building, set fire to offices and

destroyed furniture and equip-
ment.
96 other Puerto Rican draft
resisters are facing trial in the
federal court of the U.S. in San
Juan.
"Blood taxation without rep-
resentation; Independence for
Puerto Rico-now!" is the re-
sisters, slogan, since Puerto Ri-
cans do not have voting repre-
sentation in the U.S. Congress,
but are still being conscripted.
The CAL threat was made last
week by one of the island's lead-
ing spokesmen for independence,
Juan Mari Bras, of the Pro-In-
dependence Movement, before a
crowd estimated between 30,000
and 40,000. The people w e r e
celebrating t h e 1868 revolt
against Spain at the mountain
town of Lares.

As Bras issued the warning,
many in the crowd chanted
"Bombs now" and "Fire, fire,
the Yankees want fire."
CAL also claimed responsibili-
ty for the fire last week that
destroyed a Woolworth's De-
partment Store in San J u a n
with an estimated loss of more
than $1,400,000, as well as for
other past terrorist action on
the island. The group promised
to shortly make public an
"easy" manual on arson.
In addition to the Woolworth
fire, eleven unexploded bombs
were found in other U.S. stores.
The bombs had been timed, ac-
cording to police, to explode at
the same time of night that the
Woolworth's fire broke out.
"Gov. Ferre has blamed the
terrorist acts on foreign influ-
Chcag,

ence, including Castro's Cuba,
rather than as an internal re-
sponse to a national situation,"
says Rodriguez.
Nationalist sentiment h a s
been linked in the past with the
attempted assassination of Pres-
ident Harry Truman in 1950 at
Blair House in Washington and
an attack in 1954 on members
of the U.S. House of Represent-
atives.
Most of the Puerto Rican "in-
dependistas", after a history of
factional struggles, haye been
able in the last two years to or-
ganiza a common front.
"There is room for disagree-
ment within the framework of
unity," said Bras at Lares. "The
important thing is to realize the
role of each organization in the
struggle of the Puerto Rican
people for their liberation."

THE UNITED STATES detonated a one-megaton bomb yes-
terday in the Aleutian Islands without setting off the earthquake
some scientists had feared.
The proposed blast had set off protests from Alaska, Canada and
Japan in fear it could cause an earthquake or tidal wave in the North-I
Pacific area.
AEC officials say the blast was to check the feasibility of setting
off other tests op Amchitka, 1400 miles southwest of Anchorage. They
have not said there will be other blasts on the island.
However, various AEC disclosures in Washington say there could
be at least three more tests ranging up to three megatons in power.
AFL-CIO PRESIDENT GEORGE MEANY yesterday accused
President Nixon of trying to fight inflation at the expense of
workers' jobs.
Nixon replied he is trying to stop price hikes from depleting the

Meany said Nixon's policies of tight money, high interest, and
federal budget cuts are aimed at driving prices down while pushing
unemployment up.
