Time for unity, action says CPUSA NEW YORK — In a front-page editorial, Nov. 5, the Communist Party newspaper, Daily World called for unity and action in the face of Reagan’s election. ** .. the trap of the two-party system snapped shut delivering a setback to the hopes of millions of working people seeking a way out of the present economic and political crisis,’’ the paper wrote. : It went on to analyze the mood of the electorate: Angry with the anti-people policies of the Carter Administration, the people tried to express their desire for change by voting for what they hoped was a “‘lesser evil.’’ The results, due to the nature of the two-party system, are the opposite of what was hoped for. As a result new dangers to peace, democracy and decent living standards now loom before the nation ... The election is over. Yet the fightback against mono- poly’s victory must begin! The results of November 4th does not represent a national move to the Right. It was an election of frustra- tion, an election ‘‘against’’ rather than ‘‘for.’’ And be- cause of this, Reagan and the new right-wing Senators will find that they will have great difficulty in putting across their programs of cutbacks and heightened cold ‘war and racism. Even before the election was finished Reagan was compelled to make concessions to the people, who were concerned about his extremism. Now that he is elected, he will find, as did Carter, massive pressure to deliver on the promises made during the elections. Voters did not cast ballots against Carter in order to be burdened by more inflation ina Reagan Administration. They did not vote against Carter because they want to pay more taxes for even bigger military spending under Reagan. The people rebelled against Carter because they were fed up with his profits before people policies — and they will react similarly, against Reagan’s policies which also serve big business. As a private citizen Reagan may talk tough about ‘‘standing up to the Soviets.’’ But as Presi- aioe dent he will find that talk cannot change the world’s realities ... Despite the overall results millions of voters did find a way out of the two-party dead-end in this election. Full figures.are not yet available, but it is clear that the Communist Party slate of Gus Hall for President and Angela Davis for Vice President, along with their local running mates, received a broader, warmer welcome than in past years. The Communist candidates have received more votes than in the last election. Together with other independent expressions, a broad base has been laid for post-election actions which can grow and become the voice of the overwhelming majority ... The effects of a Reagan election can be overcome by building the people’s anti-monopoly coalition. There can be no pessimism about the election results. Big advances for peace, democracy and economic well- being can and will be won. The job now is to build unity and to engage in action to reverse the course that was set upon with the election of Ronald Reagan. - Chile's dictator, Augu keteller 29 10Nn. U.S. refuse ‘chairman of Chase told the dictator S ambassador pecial to the Tribune ST. GEORGE’S, Grenada — Citing Washington’s refusal to assist the Island's hurricane-damaged agriculture and to accept the accredia- _ tion of Grenada’s ambassador to the U.S., Grenadian Prime Minister Maurice Bishop accused the Carter administration of contributing to the deterioration of relations between the two countries. Bishop's charge came after the United States excluded Grenada from an aid package designed to help the Windward Islands follow- ing Hurricane Allen last August. Bishop said that the exclusion of his country was another example of Washington's unwillingness to have normal relations with the People’s Revolutionary Government in St. George’s. Responding to the U.S. decision not to accredit Dessima Williams as Grenadian ambassador to the U.S., Bishop said Washington cold- shouldered the ambassador-designate because of her age. The ap- pointment of Williams, who is 29, and has served as the Island’s ambassador to the Organization of American States, was defended by Bishop: ‘‘We did not tell the United States who they should send to the Caribbean when Sally Shelton was appointed ambassador to the reg- RESPONSIBLE FOR 73 DEATHS IN 1976 Four years ago, on October 6, 1976, Cubana flight CU-455 outbound from Seawell Airport, Barbados for Jamaica was rocked by explosions minutes after take-off. The DC-8, with its 73 pas- sengers and crew crashed into the sea killing all on board. The following day Trinidad police arrested two Venezuelans, Hernan Ricardo and Freddy Lugo who, by their statements to police and as a result of further investigations, were named as the killers. Subsequent facts, including the findings of an of- ficial Barbados Commission of Inquiry, uncovered an anti-Cuban terrorist network led by Orlando Bosch and Luis Posada Carriles, two Cuban-born counterrevolutionaries. The story that evolved was one of a carefully- planned act to blow up the Cubana flight over the sea, one of a long series of anti-Cuban actions led and carried out by Bosch and others. The two Venezuelan nationals, as well as Bosch and Carriles, who were living in Venezuela, were officially charged with the crime by Venezuelan authorities. : Almost four years of legal juggling followed. Ten judges were challenged by the defence and ruled inelligible. The proceedings were finally moved from civil court to a military tribunal. In September this year, the prosecutor withdrew the charges against the killers claiming insufficient PACIFIC TRIBUNE—NOV. 21, 1980—Page 6 evidence exists to continue the case. Reaction was swift and angry both from the Cuban government and from within Venezuela.

Commissioner of Trinidad-Tobago who told him they were CIA members and had bombed the Cuban plane. The Cuban newspaper Granma, in a special 24- page supplement, outlined the full case against the four killers including detailed findings of crash in- vestigators, statements of confession, and official transcripts of Inquiry findings. The newspaper also carried a lengthy interview with Venezuelan newswoman Alicia Herrera who obtained confes- sions from Bosch and Lugo (with whom she once worked). She revealed the Venezuelan police maintained _close ties with the four jailed terrorists and that Bosch had said efforts were underway to speed their release. A court decision was expected at any moment to free the four, but increasing pressure has resulted in no action being taken to date by the Venezuelan authorities. Granma notes that, while the previous Ven- ezuelan government of Carlos Perez overcame at- tempts at delays, threats and. even sabotage to press charges against the four, the new Social Christian government has given itself over to a dirty maneuver. It warns that should this succeed, Venezuelan authorities will bear full responsibility for all the consequences.
