Bomb Outlaw Band Clash Over Honduras Town
Reports from Tegucigalpa say no officials remain in Las Limas or nearby villages as Honduran and Nicaraguan forces cooperate along the border to stamp out outlaw bands. Marine planes bombed Las Limas causing a fire that destroyed the town. American marines described the event differently, saying a March 31 air reconnaissance near the border came under fire from outlaws near Brasil, and a bullet dump was bombed, destroying one shack. Separate note from Managua, Nicaragua, on April 10 quotes Nicaraguan officials on border region proximity to Lyons and a litter of border claims near farms. In Washington, an AP dispatch notes European air service leads in passenger travel but lacks a comparable U.S. mail transport system, per Clarence M. Young.
