Violence
Spreads
Caracas, Nov. 30
— Venezuelan terrorists
wounded five pedestrians
today and burned three
buses in their campaign to
persuade voters to stay
home until after tomorrow's
presidential election. Their ac-
tivities, however, were ignored
by crowds which filled the
streets of Caracas for the
wind-up of the campaign.
The terrorists have threaten-
ed to kill anyone seen In pub-
lic until after the election. They
also scattered tacks in the
streets and biew up a gas tine,
but cleaning vehicles scooped
up the tacks and police report
only slight damage from bomb- j
ln*s. Police and terrorists
fought several gun battles!
in slum districts. Despite the
threats, thousands of Vene-
cualans followed election cam-
paign caravans around the city.
There is no further word
about the t’S Army officer the
tei rorists are holding. The ter-
rorists have been threatening
to take reprisals against the
officer, Colonel Janies Chen-
airit, unless the government re-
lease* 71 prisoners.
