CHAJUL, Guatemala
(CP) At sunrise, the ©
grim-faced band of 100-odd

in a ravine three kilometres

so-alled Guerrilla Army of

In charge was a man named

Lacking a large army or

strategy is

when -you can. win, move

Mateo.as he described his.

plan for that day's action.

Preparations for the
operation. had been

thorough. The group had. -

collected political and
military information and
gauged public opinion
among Chajul's 900 people.

At 7 a.m., Mateo ordered
his men to‘advance down a-

“small road ta the: village.

They moved quietly - and
quickly. On the outskirts of

‘joined by three young

marched in front.

accused the Western media of misinterpreting his visit.
At his news conference in New York recently he ad-
mitted that some of his statements “had probably not

been well thought out.’ According 'to information which —

arrived from Soviet underground religious and dissident
sources, Billy Graham's odd visit to the USSR had been
thought out pretty well, at least by Soviet authorities. In
five days he did more damage to Christan resistance in
_ the USSR than Soviet officials wor'd have been able todo

in a year.

His twice-repeated statement that the USSR is a coun-°
__ try of religious freedom ‘‘unlike Great Britain, where the
Church belongs to the State,” gave Soviet authorities the
opportunity to claim, which they certainly took advan-
tage of, that ‘one of-the leaders-of Western Christianity
-{s supporting the Communist policy towards the Church.’
. An underground pamphlet was distributed in Moscow

recently with descriptions

of luxurious dinners held for

Fleverend Graham by the State Committee of: Religion of
the USSR. Also published was a photograph in which the
Chairman. of the Committee: showed -“‘the leader of
