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.

Admiral From
Texas Tackles
Tough Sea Job
FORT WORTH, Tex. (AP) An
admiral in the Texas navy headed
for Boston today with an outboard
motor boat in which he plans , to
try to cross the Atlantic.
With a lot of luck and the right
kind of weather, we might make
it," says James Pirtle, 30.
Roy Sutter of the nearby Lind

in Boston and make the trip with
him. If and when they get to Eng
land, Sutter hopes to swim the
English Channel.
Thev are using an 18-foot out

Pirtle said no one has ever tnea
it before "and I guess I want to!
be in on something that s never
been done before."
Pirtle served three years with
the Navy in World War II.
He hopes to arrange sponsors
for navieational equipment and
fuel. He has a book on small boat
seamanship.
A story and boat manufacturer
are sharing some of the expenses.
Pirtle said he hopes to leavel
about July 1. t
"We have a tentative route that
will take us by way of Newfound

and on to London," he said.
Pirtle operates a landscaping
and trucking business he has a

and Sutter were presented eora

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. Rejeswar
Dayal the three leaders of the
U.N. observation team ordered by
the Security Council to watch out
for any aid to the rebels from
the neighboring United Arab Re
public.
As usual, Hammarskjold re
fused to comment to newsmen on
his plans. There was speculation
he might, after conferring with
the Lebanese, go on to Cairo to
talk with U.A.R. 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.

Britain Tells
7-Year Plan
For Cyprus
LONDON (AP) - Prima Mln.
ister Macmillan announced Thurs
day a seven-year plan for the fu
ture of Cyprus which provides for
participation of Greek and Turk
ish governments in the adminis
tration of the island.
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.
The cabinet, meeting for 2Vi
hours, discussed the proposal.
No decision was announced.

was in the offing today to set up
a sounding board tor the - non
Communist world's shock and in

Imre Nagy and three other lead
ers of the abortive Hungarian re

Italy's decision to curtail diplo

regime to a refugee demonstra

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

Composed of members from
Denmark, Ceylon, Tunisia, Alls

the Soviet Union guilty of "mas

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
