SummaryResumen

The Evening Star reported that the Costa Rican government appealed to Nicaragua and the Dominican Republic for military assistance against insurgent forces led by Jose Figueres. Rebel troops sabotaged electrical installations at Brazil and launched surprise assaults at Quepos, threatening the advance toward Cartago. The armed conflict arose following the disputed presidential election of Otilio Ulate, which the government-controlled Congress had annulled in favor of Rafael Calderon Guardia.

El *Evening Star* informó que el gobierno constitucional de Costa Rica recabó socorro de armas a Nicaragua y a la República Dominicana con el propósito de combatir a las columnas rebeldes acaudilladas por José Figueres. Los destacamentos insurrectos sabotearon redes de energía en la localidad de Brasil y acometieron asaltos sorpresivos en Quepos, poniendo en jaque el avance hacia Cartago. La contienda intestina estalló a raíz de los controvertidos sufragios presidenciales que ungieron a Otilio Ulate, los cuales fueron anulados por el Congreso oficialista para beneficiar al candidato Rafael Calderón Guardia.

Costa Rica Asks Aid

From Two Republics

By the Associated Press

SAN JOSE, Costa Rica, Mar. 27.—!

The Costa Rican government has

renewed appeals to Nicaragua and

the Dominican Republic for help in

fighting the Figueres revolutionary

forces, reliable sources said tonight, j

What the response would be no

one could say. Nicaraguan troops

have been fighting on the govern

ment's side and some are still here,

although an order for their return

home has been issued.

Rebel troops, led by Jose Figueres,

slipped through government lines

this morning and dynamited .power

plant installations at Brazil on the

Pacific Coast. They also began a

surprise attack against government

troops at Quepos north of Domini

cal which the government has been

trying to hold since last week.

To the south Figueres soldiers

moved down the side of Cerro

de la Muerte Mountain toward Car

tago and apparently were ready to

storm that ancient capital of Costa

Rica.

The fighting which began 17 days

ago is the outgrowth of last month's

turbulent and disputed presidential

election in which Otilio Ulate was

elected. On March 1, the govern

ment-controlled Congress annulled

the election, upholding fraud

charges brought by Rafael Calderon

Guardia, government-backed candi-

date.
