New York (U.R) A little be
fore 10 o'clock on the night of
March 12 a -lecturer at Columbia
University nodded good night to
his students and disappeared in
a crowd toward the subway that
would take him home.
He has not been seen since. He
never arrived home. He has
never contacted his friends. He
may be dead or alive, as far as
anyone knows, but police be
lieve it is more likely he is dead
than alive.
About 10,000 people disappear
on the streets of New York every
year. Most of them turn up again
sooner or later. But there is one
factor in the case of Dr. Jesus
DeGalindez, 42, lecturer on Latin
American affairs, that is dif
ferent from the others.
Bitter Campaign
His life has been bound up
for 10 years in a bitter campaign
against the dictatorial regime of
Gen. Rafael Trujillo of the Domi
nican Republic.
The police missing persons file
on Galindez is fat with circum
stances pointing to Caribbean in
trigue. He was born in the Basque
country of Spain and was on
the Loyalist side in the war
against Franco. In 1937 Galindez
had to flee.
He found refuge in the tiny
Caribbean country ruled by a
proud generalissimo who styles
himself a humanitarian bot is
known widely as a dictator. In
1946, after serving as a legal
counsel in the Dominican Labor
Department, Galindez broke with
Trujillo and came to New York.
On the night of March 12 he
Cook and Mrs. Chester Fitch,
Ashland, of the Jackson County
Parent-Teacher association coun
cil on family life education.
During the two-day visit, Dr.
Danielson will also make ar
rangements to move to Medford.
He will work half time in this
health district and will devote
the half of his time to his own
practice, according to an earlier
report by county health officers.
had a lot to look forward to.
His dissertation on "The Era of
Trujillo"' had been accepted as
qualification for a doctorate at
Columbia. He was hopeful it
would be published as a book for
general circulation. In three
weeks he was to speak before
the Inter-American Association
for Democracy and Freedom.
He was a scholarly, hard-work
ing man and had many friends,
including the students who ac
companied him to a restaurant
off the Columbia campus after
class on March 12. They had
coffee. Galindez was in good
humor. He left jauntily for a
subway entrance to ride the
six- miles under-ground to his
apartment on lower Fifth ave.
Several days later, after Galin
dez had missed appointments at
the university, police went to the
apartment. The elevator operator
had not seen him lately. The
apartment looked as if Galindez
had just stepped out. His tooth
brush and shaving things were
in the bathroom. His bank ac
count showed no big withdrawal.
His personal papers appeared
undisturbed.
Among them was a note, ad
dressed by Galindez to police.
If anything ever happened to
him, he said, look for his enemies
in the Dominican Republic. Then
the story began to come out.
Another Exile Shot
The note was dated Oct. 4,
1952. That was two days after
Andres Requena, another Domin
ican exile who had published
pamphlets against Trujillo, was
shot to death in a New York tene
ment hallway. Police never
found who did it.
FINED IN COURT
Jesse C. Wall, route 2, box 5,
Jacksonville, was fined $225 and
his drivers license was suspended
for 90 days in district court Sat
urday. He pleaded guilty to a
charge of driving while intox
icated. He was also given a suspended
30-day jail sentence. '

We Carry Our Own Contracts
Friends told police that Galin
dez early this year had asked
them how to go about getting a
permit to carry a pistol. He had
been visited at his apartment by
a strange "limping man" who
had left him with a warning
that' his anti-Trujillo activities
might better be abandoned.
Police learned that two days
after Galindez disappeared a
Dominican ireighter left New
York Harbor, went a few miles
out to sea, and returned. The
ship has since returned to the
Dominican Republic.
The investigation of the lectur
er's disappearance is working
throught the network of pro
Trujillo and anti-Trujillo Dom
inicans in New York. It is a
world of shifting and secret loy
alties. The Dominican consulate
has denounced suggestions that
the Trujillo government is in
volved. Mystery Man
The "limping man" could he
be familiar "El Cojo" known to
police in New York, Havana,
Mexico City, San Juan and
Miami as a Latin mystery man
who will do almost anything for
money?
Assisting in the investigation
here is Assistant District Attor
ney Graymore. Ordinarily he is
not involved in missing persons
cases. He is attached to the
homicide division. ,
