As Haiti Army

By RELMAN MORIK
PORT AU PRINCE, Haiti 0P
. A "cold revolution" has toppled
.'. MaJ. Gen. Paul Maaloire's wcek-
old dictatorship in Haiti, restoring i
constitutional authority today in 'j
the little Caribbean republic. h
Magloire quit last night after
three days of stidown strikes vir- j
tually throttled all normal activity S
In the nation. 3
As the constitution proscribes. '
the president of the Supreme M
. Court, Joseph Nemours Pierre- 3
Louis, took office temporarily. He J
will govern until a new president 1
la named in a national election. $
The army, previously backing 6
Magloire triggered the chanfe.
Gen. Antoine Levelt, chief of staff,
aid the decision was taken in a
conference yesterday. Levelt said
. In a broadcast, "Now we return
to our barracks, awaiting the or
: ders of our new chief."
: Magloire's fall set a startling
precedent in the turbulent political
history of the Caribbean.
. It represents a dramatic victory
(or the man on the street in Haiti,

Unarmed and poorly organized.

'of power by simply staying home, p
'by closing business establishments
and paralyzing transportation.
J Except for the wounding of a
' joldier last night, no blood was
' ipilled. The people did not even
attempt to demonstrate In the
itreets. I
The strikes began Monday. I
J Behind that, however, lay
months of feverish political activ
ity, climaxed by Magloire's coup1
d'etat Dec, 6.
Magloire, a husky professional
soldier, trained by the U. S. Ma
rines, was elected in 1950. He was
the first president in Haiti's his
tory named directly by the peopie. '
lie was proud of that. I
.' Since the constitution prohibits
'two consecutive terms for a presi-'
dent, Magloire last May ordered
election machinery to be set up
for choosing his successor. I
There are no political parties in
: Haiti. People vote for personal!- i
ties, not on the basis of "tickets." !
Campaigning began immediately
; and at this point you get two
' different stories. )
Magloire and his adherents
charged that the leading presiden
tial candidates appealed to the
people solely on the basis of
"vicious criticism" of the govern-!
ment, and "incited the people to'
terrorism and violence."
The candidates were jailed last
week and this correspondent's re
quest to interview them was re
fused. Their backers, however, i
said Magloire never intended to
hold an election.
They say last week's bombings,
In which one man was killed, were
staged by the government as an
excuse to put the political leaders
In prison and call off the election.

increase went into effect. Nyrnp
said the engines would not be de
livered until 1S60.
Nyrop, here on business for the
airline, said Northwest hasn't de
cided whether to buy the Boeing;
707 or the Douglas DC8 jet trans-1
port. He indicated a decision will
be made within 90 days. He said (
the Northwest let transport or-1
dered would amount to between
