The Chargé in El Salvador (McCafferty) to the Secretary of State

21. At Legation’s suggestion destroyers Wickes and Philip came to La Libertad today and the commander is now in San Salvador. There has been a noticeable improvement in the situation. The government forces have retaken Juayua, Izalco and the other towns which were in the hands of the Communists.
