But in the minds of many whether the government actually would the situation was a question that largely was academic. They believed that if this rebellion did not succeed, there would be another, and if it after that.

For Betancourt had been nominated as the president least like, ly to remain long in office. Has Many Rumblings For months the rumblings of political discontent have been coming from Venezuela, with news dispatches from Caracas telling of arrests and political con -1 spiracies almost commonplace. Up to now, the army had been Betancourt's mainstay. Betancourt took office in Janu: ary. 1959.

in an era of reform which saw first free elections in 12 years. Betancourt, who leans to the left politically, pledge to combat unemployment, to erect schools and public housing and to diversi- fy Venezuela's economy, including 1 agriculture. As a gesture to his political op-; pononts, he included in his gov-! i eminent representatives of both major opposition parties Republi-; 1 can Democratic and Social- i ist Christian.

Betancourt also had failed to cure the economic ills.

Unemployment had passed the quarter million mark. Living costs were rising and government spending exceeded income. On the hills surrounding Caracas thousands lived a bare existence in shanties.

We may not like it but that's what is being done. Friday I believe the forecast went something like this: Tornadoes, hail and high winds forecast in an area 60 miles on either side of a line from Wink to Childress. That means that the severe warning area was somewhere in the middle of that area. So actually we are not in the severe warning area.
