WR passed a building wliloh house,
the Department of klducation, 7f?Iorl
the second and <tbird doors hoodlums
•.were throwing typewriters, ' tele -
Phones, ghairs, filing cabinets, radios,
books, ete. If these weren't smashed
enough on bitting the pavement, their
accomplices completed the job with
axes, machetes and crowbars. One
block up the street a huge pyre was
made of office furniture being thrown
from another building. At this point.
'Manuel left as he lived with his wife
and two children less than a block
from the fire. I reached the far side
of the street on which our apartment
is located, •when I found the street
all blocked by a "parade" of half -
crazed men and women carrying
machetes, swords, axes, carving
knives and rifles. They were going
towards the Clinic and another gov-
ernment • building across the street
frem it. After they all had passed, I
finally got into our place. Within'the
next half hour this same government
property was a mass of flames.
The occupants of an apartment on
the second floor of our building had
been forced to throw pots, •can$ and
other utensilsto the mob to 'carry.
gasoline, siphoned from nearby cars,
to start the fires. Some of the aeople
in our place were ready to leave, as
only one edifice separated •our build-
ing from the burning one. However,
fortunately, the wind was in our fav-
or and the possibility of the fire
spreading in our direction was less-
ened. That, coupled with the fact
that the streets on both sides were
blocked by drunken crazy "revolution-
ists" changed our opinion of vacating.
Wilh every minute new fires were
starting throughout the city.
About eight, o'clock several of us
decided to have a quick look around
this section of the city, From the
apartment we went over to Avenida
Jimenez de Quesada, and thence down
towards a friend's place, about four
blocks down. The amount of damage
done couldn't be estimated. As we
passed a shop owned by a personal
friend, it was being .sacked. Not only
was his whole stock of imported
clothes stolen, but all his records
were destroyed, furniture and man-
nequins smashed, and even the walls
were stripped of his mirrors, etc.
-The' Governor's Palace, one of the
most beautiful buildings in' Bogota;
containing irreplaceable records, was
by this time entirely gq,tted. We pass-
ed dozens of autos and trams that
ware charred wreckages. Directly
across the street from our friend's
place fires were fiercely burning in
innumerable buildings. They had al-
ready been looted of all moveable ob-
jects. The windows of the Croydon
building were completely smashed
and peons were still carting merchan-
dise `of all description from it. One
enterprising type even had a horse-•
drawn cart pulled up in front, piling
his share of the loot on it: When the
,building was stripped clean, it too,
was set on fire.
We could hear the odd rifle shot to-
wards the Capitol, so decided to leave.
Complications then set in . Ma,
blocks' were cordoned off and only by'
retracing our .steps many times were
we able to arrive back home. The
great majority of the mob were quite
drunk then; liquor stores were among
the first to be looted. When within a
few blocks of home we were approach-
ed by a fierce individual brandishing
a bottle in one hand and a machete
in the other. I let out a feeble "Viva"
a?4 -dee a+e sig :MOtlpfCis.
Every 'trim line tells of new styling. Every
detail of the interior suggests riding comfort

progress between the snipersand the
Army. At this time there were only
about 600 soldiers in the eity; these
against the .thousands: .snipers, the
police force, and about',' 3,000 crimin:
ale who had been set free from the
local jails and penitent?arses. Most
of the criminals are still loose with
many of the police records and files
destroyed
Saturday' afternoon the fire which
had been started in the nsarby Min
isterio de GObenero spread to the
house adjacent to our building, For
over three hours we ware fighting the
stubborn blaze embedded in the
structural beams of the- second floor.
The place belonged to a French chem-
ist, who had valuable stores of sup-
plies and equipment. It all had to be
thrown to the patio below. The nest
day the fire broke out again—this
time in the floors and walls. It was
harder work that day it's we had to
rip out the entire floor_in three dif-
ferent sections with the use of only
a small hatchet and crowbar. Our
bucket brigade of the previous day
again went into action, this time aid-
ed by the use of a small garden hose
which had to be held onto a faucet
down in the patio, This\ time we
made sure the fire was entirely ex-
tinguished.
That day a huge pall of smoke hung
over the entire central section of the
city. The casualty rate was rising ev-
ery hour and bodies lay for hours
where they fell. Three children of a
family of six, were killed early in the
uprising, and it was on Sunday that
we learned that, a personal friend had
been killed in his home one block
down` the street. He was reportedly,
putting out a fire on the roof of his
house when he was shot and instant-
ly killed. Gradually more' and more
soldiers were appearing—reinferce-
nlents flown in from other cities.
They were posted on every street
corner to prevent further looting or
trouble. One could not walk very far
without being •eearched for hidden
weapons or loot.
A curfew Was imposed at seven
o'clock after which time the soldiers
were ordered to shoot to kill those
who were found on the streets. Until
Thursday a sniper was .lodged some-
where in our block'and until that day
much shooting was going on at all
hours of the day and night. One bul-
let ricochted off an upstairs window
here, fortunately no damage was done.
By Friday, the 16th, a semblance of
normalcy was restored, Those stores
which had stock left reopened for a
short time .under army supervision,
and offices were reopened from 7.30
until 2.30 p.m. The curfew was then
in force from 9 p.m. until dawn. This
is still in effect and understand that
it will stay until a competent and
trustworthy police force is organized.
The following Sunday a few churches
were opened, but all were under guard
by the Army. The churches in this
sector suffered severe damage, many
being totally destroyed.. One, on Car-
rera .. Septima, . built in 1610, is noth-
ing but a shell.
Two days later, Tuesday, Jorge
Eliecer' Gaitan was buried in his own
garden. His home has been- turned
into a national monument.. Over one
hundred thousand people witnessed
the burial services in the National
Park in complete solemnity and sil-
ence.
An immense burden has 'been plac-
ed on the shoulders of the Colombian
people. It will take years and years
to remove and replace the destroyed
buildings. .A tremendous program of
reconstruction has been planned. We
are looking" for great improvements
here in Bogota. -
