An LSU-trained doctor snips lumps of flesh,
containing a tropical skin parasite, from the
bodies of a group of silent Guatemalan Indians,
Other New Orleanians who are present watch
in horror. No anesthetic is used.
But to the Indians, most of whom in this remote section of the Guatemalan, highlands-do not speak even Spanish, it was just another of the many types of pains they expect from life. They were grateful.
When you consider that the Indians formed the base of support for the pro-Communist regime of Jacobo Arbenz in the early 1950s, the potential importance of this isolated incident becomes clear.
Similar scenes happen daily in the remote interior of Haiti where Dr. William Larimer Mellon, a Tulane medical school graduate, operates a $2,000,000 hospital for natives who previously treated their«maladies with voodoo spells.
