Guatemalan officials claim the Caribbean Legion is regrouping in Costa Rica with Gen. Miguel Angel Remeriz arriving from Ecuador. The group, a loose band of mercenaries and adventurers, has long operated in Central America and the Caribbean, professing to oppose dictatorships while attracting money and promises of political rewards. Somoza in Nicaragua also accused Costa Rica of harboring lawless elements tied to the Legion. Authorities caution Remeriz uses aliases and forged passports, though he is famed as a top revolver shot. The Legion rallied in 1948 to fight Communist influence in Costa Rica under Jose Figueres. Further details on page 2.
