BRAZILIAN BISHOP APPROVES ARMED REVOLUTION
In a TV broadcast in S&o Paulo early in January, Jorge Marcos de Olveira, the bishop of Santo Andre, said that armed revolution is permissible "when oppression
reigns and wages are held at a starvation
level." The reactionary daily O Globo
scored the bishop's stand as "worthy of
a political agitator."
COMANDANTE MAXIMO VELANDO -- EVER PRESENT!
By Ricardo Gadea
{The following letter, dated Decemper 5, 1967, was written by Ricardo Gadea in San Quintin prison, Lima, Peru, where he is being held on charges of having engaged in guerrilla war. Under new laws passed by the Peruvian legislature, Gadea, if found ilty, is subject to the death penalty. (See World Outlook, November 17, 1967, p- 926, for information on his case.) The letter, which was made public by the Comité de Defensa de los Derechos Humanos (Committee for Defense of Human Rights) in Lima, is of special interest as evidence of the high morale of the political prisoners being held in the dungeons of Peru.
