San Jose Is
(Continued from Page 1)
Jose that invading forces cap-
tured two small port cities on the
Pacific coast. The delegate. Am-
bassador Benjamin Nunez, iden-
tified the cities as Puerto Soley
near the Nicaraguan border, and
Puerto Cortez, in the southern
part of Costa Rica. He said also
invading planes had machine-
gunned Turrialba and Cartago.
Costa Rican troops launched
an attack at dawn upon the
armed band which seized the
Villa Quesada area yesterday.
There were unconfirmed reports
—one brought in by a govern-
ment plane from the front--that
the troops had regained the town
after a battle of less than three
hours. The command headquar-
ters, however, refused confirma-
tion and said the action was con-
tihuing.
Costa Rica, lacking an air
force, was using a Cessna for
observation and requisitioned La-
csa transports for combined ma-
chinegun and small arms fire
against the foe at Villa Quesada.
The pilot of the DC3 which
rose to challenge the strike at
San Jose landed angry and cha-
grined because the fighter had
kept going north instead of re-
turning for a second pass. Many
streets in the area cleared quick-
ly, but in others people rushed
outdoors to scan the sky.
