Newspaper Page TextU OF IIBRARX Price Five Cents !4 Pages In The- Day's flews , By FRANK JENKINS Taxpayer-gots-break note in Ihe foreign news: The congress of the Dominican Republic held a night session yes terday in the republics capital city of Ciudad Trujillo and RE JECTED $6(10.000 WORTH OF AMERICAN FOREIGN AID!!! It then proceeded to cancel an agreement permitting Uncle Sam to build radar stations and a mis- die range on Dominican soil. The members of the Dominican "congress" were apparently pretty nuiiy. What's the pitch? Well, the root of the trouble teems to lie in the treatment re ceived by Lieutenant General Ra fael Trujillo, Jr., the son of the dictator who runs the Dominican Republic, who came over to the mainland a while back and en rolled in the U.S. Army command and general staff school. He turned out to be a not very attentive student. . He spent MUCH more time playing glamorous hookey than in military skull practice. The glamor of his hookey play ing was enhanced by the'fact that he has an annual allowance of $(i00,000 by an odd coincidence, the exact amount of the "aid" extended by generous old Uncle Sam. At any rate, he cut classes often er than he attended them, and come graduation time the U.S. Army FLUNKED HIM. Instead of a diploma, it gave him merely a document certifying that he had spent so many hours in class. That wounded the feelings of his dictator father, who summoned his puppet congress into session and ordered it to call off the whole deal American foreign aid and all. Speaking as one pint-size Amer ican taxpayer, my personal reac tion to the whole business can be summed up in these words: BOY! WHAT A BREAK! What to do about it all? On that point, Zsa Zsa Gabor, ene of the Hollywood denizens with whom Junior played around dur ing his class-cutting intervals spending, it is alleged, somewhere in the neighborhood of a million dollars buying gifts and having fun comes up this morning with some suggestions for our state de partment. She says she knows the BEST WAY to better relations be tween the United States and the Dominican Republic. Her solution is to have Junior that is to say. Lieutenant Gen eral Rafael Trujillo, son of the Dominican dictator who is the source of all the funds MARRY A NICE AMERICAN GIRL. Hmmmmm. It's a thought. It's a thought worthy of Zsa. Zsa. But there s a catch to it. Ihe catch is this: Where in the circles in which Junior and his Hollywood play mates move would one find a NICE girl? There are gold-diggers aplenty But nice girls seem to be rather scarce in those areas. TV Channel Bids Eyed WASHINGTON (API The Com. munications Commission Wednes day whittled to two the number of applications for television Chan nel 2 at Portland, ore.

One outlying receiving station connect ed with the Fort Worth complex will be erected at White Sands, N.M., and a second one will be located about 200 miles east of White Sands. The Pentagon said work will start immediately and the n e t- work should be in operation by the end of this year. ine detection and tracking of satellites carrying radio transmit ters that emit regular signals is relatively easy. This operation is now being conducted around the clock to keep track of the Rus sian and American satellites. ARPA said one of the major purposes in setting up the new nciworx was to "insure that si lent satellites, which could nose a military threat, will not be able lo orbit over the United States without being detected and tracked.

Knowland (R-Calid said Thursday there is a serious question whether Sherirsan Ad ams "has so hurt his usefulness in his position that it will be harm- lul to the broad policies of Pres-v ident Eisenhower. The Senate GOP leader told a news conference the question is one "which both Gov. Adams and the President must carefully weigh. Knowland made his comment in response to a question as to whe ther he believed Adams, the No. aide to the President, should remove himself from the govern ment. Knowland said he did not be lieve the acceptance of gifts by public officials was good public policy in Ihe previous Democra tic administration. And. he said, he adheres to that position as to the present admin istration. Knowland said it was "a mis take in judgment and not good public policy" for Adams to ac cept gifts from Bernard Goldfine, Boston industrialist. Asked whether he would propose code of conduct for state of ficials if successful in his canv paign for governor of California, Knowland said he believes "pub, lie officials should not accept gifts of this kind, and -that ap plies to both state and federal of fice." Among congressional Republi cans generally, the prevailing at titude seemed to be one of bow ing to Eisenhower's decision to keep Adams on the job although many made it plain they aren't happy about it.

Secretary General Dag Hammer- kjold arrived in Beirut today. bringing a glimmer of hope that he might end Lebanon's rebellion. The international diplomat flew in at dawn from London and New York. His reputation in the Mid dle East for mediating ticklish quarrels gave Lebanese some hope he might succeed where oth ers failed. The crisis-ridden country has endured 41 days of fighting, bomb ing, shootings and strikes in an ef fort by opposition political factions overthrow pro-Western Presi dent Camille Chamoun. The peo ple are thoroughly fed up and arc looking for any solution that will end the trouble. Rebel leaders have promised a truce while Hammarskjold is here. A furious battle raged in Beirut yesterday, but government forces finally beat back the rebels and restored an uneasy quiet. After a brief rest at his hotel, Hammarskjold began talks with Norwegian Maj. Gen. Odd Bull, former President Galo Plaza Las- vu of Ecuador and former Indian ambassador to the U.N.

President Nas- Some 50 unarmed observers al ready are here to check Leba non's 150-mile border with Ihe Sy rian province of the U.A.R. The Lebanese government feels, how ever, that observation is not enough. It decided Tuesday to ask Ham marskjold for a sizable body of troops similar to the U.N. Emer gency Force which separates Is raeli and Egyptian soldiers along their border. Military experts here estimate that 5.000 troops would be needed to seal the rugged mountain bor der. Hammarskjold has sent out urgent requests to 14 small U.N members for more observers but these still would be short of what the Lebanese government wants.

Macmillan described the pro posal to the House of Commons as "an adventure in partner ship." He also promised that cessation of violence in Cyprus a British crown colony populated by 400, 000 persons of Greek descent and 100,000 of Turkish descent would bring a relaxation of emergency regulations, including return of Cypriots now excluded from the island. While he named no names, this reference was taken to mean that Archbishop Makarios, leader of the Greek Cypriot community, would be allowed to return to Cy prus when order is restored. He is now an exile in Greece. The Prime Minister said "it Is deeply fo be regretted that all at tempts for settlement of the Cy prus problem have thus far proved unsuccessful. Greek Cypriols want the island lo -become Greek. Turks want the island partitioned. The dispute has been a bitter one and fighting last week between Greeks and Turks on Cyprus cost at least 17 lives. Macmillan announced the Brit ish plan after a 48-hour pause to give the North Atlantic Treaty Or ganization's council time to talk over the problem with Britain, Greece and Turkey, all members of the alliance. At Athens, authoritative sources said the plan is basically unac ceptable to Greece, whether back ed by Washington, the North At lantic Alliance, or anyone else.

N. watchdog committee on Hungary was in the offing today to set up a sounding board tor the - non Communist world's shock and in dignation over the execution ot Imre Nagy and three other lead ers of the abortive Hungarian re volt. Western reaction lo the Moscow directed executions ranged from Italy's decision to curtail diplo matic relations with the Budapest regime to a refugee demonstra tion against the Hungarian .team at the world soccer games in Stockholm. E. Ronald Walker of Australia. acting chairman of the five-member U. N. committee, said he had several requests for a meeting. He asked the U. N. secretariat to set one up "as soon as practica ble" and said it might be held tomorrow. Composed of members from Denmark, Ceylon, Tunisia, Alls tralia and Uruguay, the commit tee was established by the Gen eral Assembly in 1957. It found the Soviet Union guilty of "mas sive repression" in putting down the 1956 revolt in Hungary. The execution of Nagy and his associates brought immediate sug gestions for a resumption of its inquiry. Another suggestion was for a public meeting to dramatize U.N. concern. Previous meetings gen erally have been held in private. The United States has attempt ed to focus attention on Soviet tactics during the revolt when ever possible, and the U. S. dele gation began pressing for a com mittee meeting soon after the ex ecutions were announced by Mos cow this week. At his news conference yester day, President Eisenhower said the executions clearly showed that the Russians plan to pursue a policy of terrorism and intimi dation. Italy withdrew its ambassador lo Budapest and also permission for Budapest to send a minister to Rome. Lower-ranking charges d'aflaircs remain in both capitals.
