Military Leaders Under Arrest In Nicaragua
More than 100 army personnel were arrested on plotting to oust President Anastasio Somoza as a general strike spread and fighting was reported near Managua. Reports stated 12 officers and 85 soldiers were arrested, with higher counts including two colonels. The Senate planned to consider a travel authorization for Somoza, though officials said he would not resign. Radio messages of a coup circulated, while guard members, loyal to the Somoza regime, faced anger after demands by guerrillas who seized the National Palace last week.
