THIRTY-EIGHT THE BRIDGEPORT POST, THURSDAY. MAY 26, 1966. CHEER! WHEN GUYANA! GETS LIBERTY) Guyana) (AP) --Floodlights lit up the! midnight sky last night and 000 Guyanese cheered as five-colored flag of Guyana! went up in place of the Union Dack, signaling independence; for another British colony. The joyous outburst came after a solemn moment in Queen Elizabeth Park when the British flag was lowered in darkness while bands played "God Save The Queen." A few persons near the press box shouted, "Down! Down for good!" Then the lights blazed on, and the bands switched to "Green Land of Guyana" as the new national banner was hoisted. Prime Minister Forbes Burnham wept.

Former Prime Minister Ched- di Marxist foe of Burnham, appeared at the ceremony and to general surprise embraced his successor. Jagan told newsmen: "I have come, as I promised, to honor independence." Boycott Ceremones Jagan and his People's Progressive Party are boycotting all ceremonies aside from the flag raising and the opening of the first independent Parliament. His Chicago-born wife, Janet, refused to attend the ceremony Wednesday night. Burnham's image burned on a fireworks screen at the park after a spectacular display of pyrotechnics. Georgetown, which appeared sleepy earlier this week, came alive with thousands jamming the streets, dancing, cheering, and drinking rum.

Steel bands and calypso singers entertained in major night spots. The holiday was expected to run through the weekend and Monday, which is a religious day. Flag raising ceremonies took place simultaneously in every town and village of the new nation on the northern coast of South America. They marked the end of 385 years of British, Dutch and French rule. 23rd Member Guyana becomes the 23rd member of the British Commonwealth.

The Duke and Duchess of Kent represented the queen at the ceremony in Georgetown. President Johnson sent "congratulations on the historic event joining the people of Guyana with their friends in the hemisphere and around the world." Lincoln Gordon, assistant secretary of state for Latin American affairs, headed the U.S. delegation. Sergei Mikhailov, Soviet ambassador to Brazil, headed the Russian delegation. He offered Burnham trade and diplomatic missions.

Red China was not invited, but Premier Chou En-lai cabled congratulations to Burnham and expressed hope "the people of your country achieve new success in the struggle to safeguard national independence and oppose colonialism and neocolonialism." The crowd at the flag raising was overwhelmingly Negro, reflecting the boycott by Jagan's PPP, the party of the Guyanese of East Indian origin. The party is protesting the continuation of the state of emergency proclaimed during interracial strife two years ago and the constitution which Jagan claims is rigged against him.
