Border Clash Truce
(Rec. 8 p.m.) TEGUCIGALPA (Honduras)
May 4. Honduras and Nicaragua accused each other last night of bombing and strafing villages in the border region each country claims as its territory.
Nicaragua’s President, Mr Luis Somoza, said in a broadcast to his countrymen that he had agreed to a truce in the border fighting at the request of the Organisation of American States mission.
But Mr Somoza warned again that any new Honduran “aggression” would mean total war. There was no immediate word whether Honduras had also agreed to break off fighting. The five-man committee of the organisation arrived yesterday to investigate the border dispute.
