Bay's flews

As this is written, trouble of
some sort is brewing between the
Republic of Haiti and the Domini
can Republic both located on
the Island of Hispaniola, just
across the Windward Passage
from the Soviet island satellite of
Cuba.
What the trouble maj; be is a
little vague this morning as trou
bles down that way arc apt to be
but the Dominican ambassador to
the Organization of American
States charges that a Haitian plot
is cooking to assassinate Domini
can President Juan Bosch. He
claims that members of the Tru
jillo family (lately thrown out as
DICTATOR of the Dominican Re
public) ire in on the scheme to
assassinate Bosch, the new Domin
ican president.
At this point, let's put in a little
backgrounding.
The island of Hispaniola was
discovered by Columbus on his
irst voyage in 1402. He claimed
it lor Spain. Later, about 1677,
the island was divided between
Spain and France, and the Haiti
part of it became a French col
ony. The French brought in Ne
gro slaves from Africa to work
the plantations.
The people of Haiti arc near
ly all Negroes or mulattoes de
scended from the slaves brought
in by the French. Most of them
speak a French dialect called
CREOLE. What's a Creole? Creole
is a term used loosely to indi
cate persons of Spanish and
French descent. There arc many
Creoles in our American slate of
Louisiana.
Incidentally, most of these lower-class
Haitians arc highly su
perstitious believing in Voodoo
spells and curses.
What's Voodoo? It was brought
from Africa with the original in
habitants. According to voodoo
ism, the spirits of dead persons
live in a world of ghosts, but
can visit the world of living per
sons to bless or curse them. A
Voodoo medicine man may talk
with a wooden image and say
that a spirit answers him through
the image. In this way, living
persons may talk with the spirits
of tile dead.
There's another curious little an
. gle of Voodoo.
If you happen to be a believer
in Voodoo, and if you happen to
have an enemy whom you'd like

The OAS was working against

called "aggressive" policies to
ward Dominican envoys in Haiti.
It raised a threat of military ac

U. S. sources said the Haitian

Record Vote
Predicted
For Italy
ROME (UPI) Two days of!
voting in Italy's national parlia
mentary election ended today w ith
a predicted record turnout of vot
ers. When the polls closed, there had
been no further incidents of vio
lence such as the series of pre
dawn terrorist bombs w hich
marred the first day of balloting
Sunday.
The outcome of the voting for a
new 315-scat Senate and a 630-man
Chamber of Deputies is not ex
pected to be known fully before
Tuesday night.
Two hours before the polls
closed, nearly 90 per cent of the
34 million eligible voters had cast
their ballots in some areas, with
the heaviest turnout in the north.
Some districts reported a 97 per
cent vote.
It was estimated that the final
voting total would run to between
93 and 95 per cent.
While balloting was for parlia
mentary seals, the real issue was
whether Premier Amintore Kan
fani's experimental Socialist-
backed "center-left" government
should continue.
Many observers considered the
election the most important in
years and said it could determine
Italy's political picture for the
next decade.
Early predictions were that
many members of Fanfani's Chris
tian Democratic party would de
sert and vote for the Liberals in
opposition to the "opening to the
led." But it could not be de
termined whether they would be
strong enough to form a decisive
(actor.
Sunday's voting was marred by
a series of early morning bombs.
Nine policemen and a fireman
were injured.
The election could have import
ant bearing on Italy's future role
in the North Atlantic Treaty Or
ganization i NATO i and the Europ
ean Common Market.

PORTSMOUTH. N.H. (UPI) -
Vice Adm. Hyman G. Rickover
testified today the nuclear reactor
core of tlie sunken cubmarinc
Thresher was so designed that it
is physically impossible to ex
plode like a bomb."
Rickover, known as Ihe father
of the atomic submarine, testified
before a naval court of inquiry
into the mysterious sinking of the
thresher April 10 with a loss of
125 men.
Rickover, wearing a conserva
live blue suit, testified In public
lor seven minutes. He then re
sumed testimony behind closed
doors presumably on secret as-
poets of Ihe n u c I e a r-powcred
thresher. A Marine guard was
posted outside tlie hearing room.
Rickover said that debris
scooped up from the Atlantic
where the Thresher sank showed
no signs of radioactivity in tests
conducted as recent as Sunday.
The debris was not identified
But the naval court previously
had been shown debris that in
cluded a chunk of plastic believed
from the Thresher's nuclear re
actor shield, bits of cork, part of
a life jacket and gloves used in
(he reactor room of a submarine.
"The reactor core is so designed
it Is physically impossible to ex

said.
' Rickover said that if the
Thresher's reactor were flooded
tlie sea water would act as a cool
ant and provide an additional

"There is no reason lo believe
any radiological problems were
caused by loss of Thresher," he
said.
Rickover said he and his asso

He said the proposal to take

no guarantee the legislature will
appropriate money for the special

"I would leave the special pro

a vital part of the educational
program."
Hatfield said he would meet
with labor leaders to discuss the
senate-approved workmen's com
pensation bill. He said the in
creased benefits and universal
coverage features of the bill were
good, but he hoped the House
would improve procedure"! lor
handling claims.
He said he favored the provi
sions allowing private insurance
companies lo underwrite some
employers.
Hatfield said ho hoped the
House would improve the bill. .
Of Senate President Ben Musa's
request to double the proposed
slate civil defense budget to fl
nance a six-man agency, Hatfield
said, "I am glad to see there is
concern by legislative leaders
with civil defense."
He was optimistic tlie Senate
would approve traffic safety bills
to end the slaughter on our high

tion to bond programs to finance
highway construction.
He said the preposed Interim

an argument for his proposed nat

It would be belter to spend
money on reorganization, then the
problem would solve itself," Hat

SALEM (UPI I - Tax relief for
businesses with large Inventories

Tie bill went to the Senate.
It would levy a 1 per cent tax
i net business income, which
would be collected at the state
level and distributed to the local
units that now collect the inven
tory lax.
It would offset Inventory and
crsonal property taxes (or a re
duction of about 23 per cent, or
17 million a year.
It is a partial answer lo the
problem of taxes on business In
ventories and personal property
that the legislature has tried un
successfully to deal with before.
Rep. Richard Eymann. D-Mar-

not to the property or slock a
business has on hand at the end
of the year.
"A business making tlie least
money has the greatest inven
tory, he said.
Eymann, chairman of the House
Tax Committee, said tlie measure
would help prevent plant shut-
clow ns tow ard tlie end of the year
in an ellort to reduce taxable in
ventories. He said an income tax would
mean businesses would pay more
in profitable years, less in lean
ones.
