Plot Discovery Triggers Terror in Guatemala
Rep. Frances Bolton says documents found June 10 in the anti-Communist underground desk triggered Guatemala’s reign of terror. She names Dr. Domingo Goriola Villacorta as master planner, describes a plan for air invasions, commando attacks on President Arbenz, arson and rail sabotage, financed by 150000 dollars monthly to exile Col. Castillo Arnez. Several anti-Communist figures were arrested as the plot unfolded.
