Tegucigalpa, Honduras, June 21.

Colonel Carlos Castillo Armas set up an anti-Communist govern- ment inside Guatemala today and called for the unconditional surrender of President Jacobo Arbenz Guzman and his Communist-supported regime.

Colonel Armas, leader of the invading forces striking from Hon- duras, made his demand after issuing a communique claiming that his revolutionary forces had captured several important cities, penetrating deep into Guatemala.

"We demand the unconditional surrender of Arbenz and his Communist group because we are not willing to compromise with those who never showed
