UN to parley
on Haitian
war dilemma
UNITED NATIONS, N. Y.
UPI Haiti today demanded a
matting of the Security Council
to consider the war threat aris
ing from its quarrel with the
Dominican Republic.
Top diplomatic sources said
Haitian Ambassador Carlet R.
August submitted the request
in a letter to French Ambassa
dor Roger Seydoux, this month's
council president.
SANTO DOMINGO, Dominican
Republic (UPI) President Juan
Bosch convoked his cabinet today
for a report from military chiefs,
strengthening belief the hour for
a Dominican strike against Haiti
may be imminent
The meeting lasted an hour but
no official comment was forth
coming. However, Bosch summon
ed U.S. Ambassador John Barlow
Martin to the palace, presumably
to give him a briefing on the
meeting.
An army spokesman said Domi
nican infantry now were in at
tack positions the length of the
border separating the two coun
tries on the Caribbean island of
Hispaniola.
Bosch madeno secret of his
plans to invade Haiti if necessary
to topple the dictatorial regime of
President Francois Duvalier.
The Organization of American
States (OAS) stepped up its ef
forts to head off a war between
the two nations which share the
Caribbean island of Hispaniola,
only 55 miles from Cuba.
President Duvalier vowed in
Port-au-Prince he never would
step down under pressure, he
told his people:
"I am a revolutionary in every
sense not a sentimental type
but one of the hard kind. . .1
have for my companion my
rifle."
In Washington, the OAS sched
uled an emergency meeting to
hear a report from three mem
bers of the fact-finding mission it
sent to Haiti and the Dominican
Republic. The mission members
expressed doubt that Bosch
would move against Haiti while
' the OAS was trying to solve the
crisis.
Move Into Position
But Bosch moved troops, tanks
and warships into position for an
invasion, spurred on by a plea
from Haitian political refugees in
asylum in Port-au-Prince to
save them from "savage assas
sination" by Duvalier's police.
Although no formal ultimatum
was issued, Dominican officials
hinted the attack could come at
any time and might be preceded
by heavy aerial bombardment of
Duvalier's palace.
U.S. Marines aboard a Navy
task force within 30 miles of Port-au-Prince
were alerted to move
in to evacuate 1,000 Americans
in the Haitian capital if fighting
broke out. The Navy said it was
ready to move on 10-minutes no
tice. The British sent a Royal Navy
frigate to international waters
just off Haiti and the Admiralty
in London said the ship would re
move British residents if that be
came necessary.

Parents protest
Missouri Catholics
rap ruling on buses
JEFFERSON CITY, Mo. (UPI)
A political-religious demonstra
tion against Missouri's refusal to
provide public school bus trans
portation for parochial students
was expected today to spread
across the state.
Catholic parents indicated that
thousands of students would with
draw today from church schools
and enroll at public institutions.
There is no apparent central au
thority in the demonstration, but
there are 172,000 Catholic students
in Missouri who could demand
public education.
Massive enrollment by the stu
dents could spell "financial disas
ter" for Missouri, costing some
$56 million more each year in
state funds.
There were scattered demonstra
tions last Wednesday and Thurs
day which grew and widened Fri
day. Suburbs of St. Louis and
Kansas City expected heavy en
rollments today and some 1.500
Catholics said they would enter
public schools today in this state
capital town.
Kill Bus Measure
The Missouri House had a bill
before it which would have ex
tended school bus privileges to
private and parochial schools.
The House Judiciary Committee
voted 19-8 Tuesday to kill the
measure.
There had been heated hearings
concerning the proposal, but when
the bill died the protests explod
ed. The Roman Catholic Church has
not sanctioned the demonstrations.
I Some leaders said it was the right
: of the individuals to protest and
i others said they were dead against
it. The main lobbyist for the bill,
James Cox of Jefferson City, said
there was no advanced planning
in the demonstrations.
Parents at the tiny town of St.
Martin, nine miles west of here,
started the demonstration enroll
ments which spread rapidly.
Other Catholic parents said they
planned to enroll their children
in public schools next fall because
'we can t afford to keep on voting
bond issues for public schools and
paying parochial tuition too."
