Government Says Rebel Advance Has Been Stalled
The Guatemalan government claims its army halted a rebel offensive but Col. Carlos Castillo Armas says rain slowed his force. He reports no deaths since the war began last Friday, while the National Federation of Farm Workers cites a parachutist killed near Amatitlan. US officials in Washington suggest Czech arms aid aided the Communist-backed government and rebels may have moved into Msquituljo without a battle.
