U.S. Troops Take
Up Position Near
Capital of Haiti
. Move To Protect
American Citizens
Santo Domingo, Dominican
Republic -WPIU A U. S. Navy
task force has moved combat
ready Marines near Haiti's invasion-threatened
capital of
Port au Prince to protect
Americans there if disorders
break out, informed sources
reported Saturday.
The sources said Dominican
troops along the Haitian bor
der were reported to have
assumed offensive positions,
although they made no move
to cross the frontier.
Tanks Loaded
At the same time, they said,
Dominican tanks were being
loaded on vessels in port here
and aircraft were being arm
ed and readied at San lsidoro
air base outside Santo Domin
go. Dominican President Juan
Bosch reiterated "It Is the
duty of the hemisphere's de
mocracies to come to the res
cue of the suffering Haitian
people."
It was learned that a bat
talion of Dominican troops
backed up by five tanks has
assumed positions along the
border.
City Tens
The capital was tense but
diplomats here said the ac
tive mobilization of Domini
can forces appeared more of
a step to bring political pres
sure against Haiti than prep
aration for an immediate at
tack. i Whatever the reason, the
U. S. Navy was taking no
chances. The task force carry
ing the Marines moved to
within the Haitian capital.
The sources said the task
force including the flagship
aircraft carrier Boxer left its
alert position at sea last night
and sailed down the St. Marc
channel past the island of Go-nave-just
off tha west coast
of Haiti. . , , .

UN More Money
. United Nations, N. Y.'-IOTD-Ambassador
Adlai E. Steven
son indicated Saturday that
the United States may relent
In its announced determina
tion not to pay one penny
more than Its assessed 32.02
per cent share of UN peace
keeping costs.
Under congressional pres
sure and public criticism that
Washington put up close to
SO per cent of the costs of the
UN Congo operation, the Unit
ed States announced in March
that it would pay only Its
assessed share in the future
until members whose failure
to pay ran the world organ
ization's debt to $100 million
made contributions of their
own.
Stevenson indicated in an
Interview that while the
United States still holds this
position, it is willing to con
sider a British proposal en
tailing voluntary contribu
tions that would carry Wash
ington's share above 32.02 per
cent.
"The United States will cer
tainly oppose any assessment
which would involve its being
mandatorily obligated to pay,
for the last six months of
1963, more than its regular
budget percentage of 32.02
per cent," Stevenson said.

Bartlett Crop
Predicted at Half
Of Last Year's
The Bartlett crop for the
Medford Pear district now is
predicted at 40 to 50 -per cent
of -last year's crop, according
to orchardists Saturday.
Last year's Bartlett crop
was approximately d.J,ouu
tons, one of the largest on rec
ord. One industry-wide esti
mate predicts this year's Bart
lett crop at 13,000 tons. Bart-
letts comprise 40 per cent of
all pear production here.
However, growers empha
sized that this Is not a defi
nite estimate since two more
drops of the small green pears
on all varieties, which were
not , sufficiently pollenized,
could occur about mid-May
and June. ' ",' "
"Most of the Bosc crop
looks pretty good," one pear
grower said. "However, it
still is a big question since
some blossoms appeared on
Bosc after the last cold spell."
D'Anjous should be a fair
crop, but it is still too early,
to forecast accurately, grow
ers generally agreed.
Others Hurt Also
The forecast of a short Bart
lett crop may cover the entire
Pacific Coast fruit districts,
some growers said. Frost,
rain and hail seriously hurt
major California pear dist
ricts, according to reports.
Santa Clara valley, Calif., for
instance naa approximately
75,000 tons of Bartletts last
year and now predict 35,000
tons for this year.
Hood River, Yakima and
Wenatchee pear and apple
areas are concerned over pol
lenization. Hood River fuit
is in the bloom stage now,
but growers should know in
about two weeks generally
what kind of crop to expect.

water cut the demonstrators

them screaming in retreat. Po
lice followed up with dogs
held on leashes.
It took authorities a full
hour to rout the Negroes from
the park, and even after they
did the demonstrators re

Reds Blamed For
Laos Incident
v Vientiane, Laos - IUPD -
Premier Prince Souvanna
Phouma Saturday blamed the
Communist Pathet-Lao for the
shelling to two helicopters be
ing used by the International
Control Commission to try to
bring peace to Laos.
Military reports said one
of the helicopters was de
stroyed and the other heavily
damaged when mortar shells
hit them at the town of Mu
ong Phanh on the Plain of
Jars near Neutralist military
commander Gen. Kong Les
headquarters.
The shelling wiped out two-
thirds of Lao's helicopter
fleet. All were of American
manufacture but those for
use by the Control Commis
sion were painted white and
flown by French pilots.
Four persons were reported
to have been injured in the
shelling of the aircraft but
they were not immediately
identified. The helicopters
were on a mercy mission at
the time to recover wounded
from a truck which hit a
landmine on the road from
Khang Khay to the Plain of
Jars airfield.
A French sergeant who was
driving the truck apparently
was killed instantly.
Prince Souvanna had gone
to the Plain yesterday for a
meeting with Laotian Com

Rockefeller Marries
Murphy
Observers Say
Remarriage Could
Be '64 Handicap
Voter Reaction Is
Object Of Concern
Washington -dJPD- Gov. Nel
son A. Rockefeller's remar
riage made a new ball game
Saturday of the coming con
test for the 1964 Republican
presidential nomination.
There were doubts and un
certainties about voter reac
tion whether his marriage
would offend women voters,
particularly of middle age and
older, and whether it would
offend Catholics, who do not
recognize divorce.
"It's difficult to prophesy at
thu tune," said Republican
National Chairman William E.
Miller. "I don't think it's go
ing to have any important ef
fect." Couldn't HIp
"I don't see how this could
possibly help the governor's
candidacy," said Rep. Gerald
R. Ford of Michigan, chair
man of the House GOP caucus.
"It's difficult to assess the im
pact." Although there are as yet
no announced candidates for
the Republican presidential
nomination, Rockefeller was
rated far in front of other po
tential contenders until ru
mors ot a possible remarriage
began to spread lac, month.
The reports saw an imme
diate apuft in confidence
among backers of Sen. Barry
Goldwater of Arizona, the
long-shot conservative possi
bility against Rockefeller,
who is classed as a liberal,
Gov. George Romney of
Michigan became af center-
stage attraction - for Repub
licans who believe Goldwater
cannot win and that remar
riage could be a serious, or
even fatal handicap to Rock
efeller, 1 ' : .
May Be Al.et I -
But Miller commented that
the remarriage may be "an
asset" and that "with the pass
age of time the. governor's
position may be enhanced."
Noting that the Democrats
twice nominated Adlai E.
Stevenson for the presidency.
Miller said he did not believe
Stevenson's divorce had been
a political factor.
The GOP chairman ex
pressed the belief that Rock
efeller would be judged by
his record as governor and as
a one-time federal official and
by his position on national is
sues. 'The rest is secondary,"
Miller said. "It won't be a
campaign issue. I don't think
it will affect the nomination
or the election."

Announcement
Ends Months
Of Speculation
News Revealed .
In Press Release
Pocantico Hills, N. Y. -JUPO-
Gov, Nelson A. Rockefeller
and Mrs. Margaretta Fitler
Murphy climaxed a secret ro
mance Saturday with a sur
prise wedding at the home of
Rockefeller's brother, Laur
ance. A press release from Laur-
ances office, delivered to
news media by messenger, put
an end to months of specula
tion, rumor, "no comments
end denials.
The ceremony, performed
by the Rev. Marshall - L.
Smith, of the Union church
here, was attended only by
immediate members of the
bride's and groom's families.
Rockefeller, 54, was divorc- -'
ed by his wife of 31 years last
year. Mrs. Murphy, 36, was
divorced April 1. The divorces
and marriage were said to
figure in the political think
ing of experts weighing the
odds on Rockefeller's presi
dential aspirations. ':
wmc experts have said
Rockefeller could withstand
the publicity of his March IB,
1062, divorce from Mary Tod
hunter Clark and still remain
presidential timber. But they
expressed doubt that a subse
quent marriage to a woman
almost 20 years younger
would enhance his possibili
ties for the White House and
some even said it would wipe
Happy
out nn cnances.
Tht news release, naturally,
took ml note nt this nnd was
delivered to new offices in
th same casual way that
word was first given the
world of Rockefeller's divorce
by special messenger.
The release said the newly-
weds would depart by plane
for Rockefeller's farm in Ven
ezuela this morning.
On their return the couple
will make their home at the
executive mansion in Albany
and at the governor's home in
Pocantico Hills," the release
said.
For the ceremony, the bride
wore a pale blue silk shan
tung dress with a small bow
at the neck. She wore white
gloves and carried a bouquet
of spring flowers.
After the vows were pro
nounced, Laurance Rockefel
ler and his wife were hosts at
a luncheon.
Served as Aid .
The new Mrs. Rockefeller
worked as a volunteer in
Rockefeller's g u b ernatorial
campaign In 1958 and later
was an administrative assist
ant on the governor's staff.
In 1961, she resigned amid
rumors that she had "recon
ciled" with her husband, Dr.
James S. Murphy, a Johns
Hopkins graduate working as
research scientist with the
Rockefeller Institute.
Rumors of the Rockefeller
Murphy romance, which kept
tongues wagging, died down
until Rockefeller's announce
ment of a pending divorce.
