It was one of the toys that
Tnijillo's playboy son, Ramfis,
could not take with him when he
was , forced to flee the country,
fter an unsuccessful attempt to
maintain the power once wielded
by his father.
No Bigger Bargain
Tliere probably isn't a bigger
bargain in the world than this
yacht since it would cost close to
$10 million to duplicate it. The
catch is that it requires a crew
of at least 80 men Trujillo had
120 and its operation and main-
tenance would cost around $1,000
dollars per day in addition to the
crew's salaries, complete set of
Kails for the thin would cost
nround $30,000 and It, would lake
113.(100 dollars worth of paint to
point the hull alone
So It's no wonder that the
"Patria" has found no customers.
Trujillo bought It from former
U. S. ambassador to Moscow Jo
seph E. Davies in 1055 for a re
ported $2.3 million. He overhauled
the enlire ship, spending $l.a mil-,
linn for new diesel engines to givel
XV furniture and other such nice
ties.
After it was all done, the prob
lem was what to do with it. The
Dominican dictator already had a
280-foot steam yacht which he
seldom used because he actually
halted the sea. Resides, Trujillo

1902 in a Brooklyn printing plant,

In a couple of years the routine
of weekend cruising became, bor
ing to the dictator.
He turned the Angelita over to
his eldest son. Ramfis. an inter
national playboy who liked to in
vitc the Hollywood set for ex
tended cruises in the Pacific and
would wind up his parties by fly
ing all his guests to the Domini
can Republic.
The yacht was all but forgotten
in the political crisis that followed
Ihe elder Tnijillo's assassination.
But a few months later, the
crew began gearing up the ship
or a long voyage. Large wooden
boxes were brought aboard in the
middle of the night. One contained
the body of the slain dictator.
Three other boxes held $20 mil
lion each in U. S. and Dominican
currency. The rest carried gold
and art treasures of the Trujillo
family
Ramfis and a few relatives set
sail quietly one night, leaving!
chaos behind. Then the officers
and the crew mutinied and the
playboy and his family were al
lowed to disembark on a British-
owned island in the Caribbean.
They had to leave behind all thel
black boxes except the one con

Railroad Arrives Late
To Save Little Hamlet
GAINESVILLE. Miss. lUPIl
This village died to make way for
a boom.
Its one general store, two
churches and a handful of homes
and fishing camps on the banks
of the Pearl River that divides
Mississippi and Louisiana have
vanished.
Two graveyards are about to
be moved tombstone by tomb
stone, grave by grave.
A railroad which the thriving
Gainesville of the 1880 s needed
but could not obtain crccped
into the area recently. It was
years too late lo save a little ham
let near which Andrew Jackson
camped in 1814 on his way to the
Battle of New Orleans.
Once A Trading Hub
Gainesville was once a trading
hub of south Mississippi. Fast
packets ran up and down the
Pearl to New Orleans. And the
virgin honey island torest and
swamps along the river were hid
ing places for such rogues as
Pierre Ramcau whose small band
of pirates raided Gulf Coast ship
ping. Ramcau, in a surge of patri
otism, loaned a number of his
boats to Jackson's army.
Down the river a few miles lies
Logtown, another boom town of
the past. Its sawmills turned out
millions of feet of lumber and
sent it away on river barges to
build thousands of homes.
Logtown, Miss., now a sleepy
fishing mecca, will die within a
.year. Its tiny post oltice. tew
stores and two schools will disap-
car.
These two villages one dead
and the other dying are making
way for part of the gigantic
American project to put men on
the moon in 1968.
$500 Million Facility
Rising in the flat scrub pine
land in south Mississippi 35 miles
northeast of New Orleans is a
$500 million facility that the Na
tional Aeronautics arid Space Ad
ministration I NASA I will use to
static test, or ground fire, the
mighty Saturn V rocket that this
country is banking on to w in the
race with the Russians to the
moon. After testing here, the 350-
foot tall rockets will be moved to
Cape Canaveral, Fla., for the ac
tual blastoff into space.
The death of two villages, and
several hundred homes in a sur
rounding "buffer zone is
mourned bv those who had to
pack their belongings and relo
cate.
But an area 20 miles around the
141,000 acre site is beginning to
stir. A boom period is coming.
Three cities nearest the Missis
sippi test facility, as NASA calls
it. are bracing for it.

tress is a form of insulation. To
provide a minimal amount of
warmth for sleeping, a single military-type
blanket is provided.
Twice a day, the subjects take

exercise room. A nurse brings
food at regular intervals four
tightly controlled experimental di

all the food served to him.

The rooms, in which the tem

25th Anniversary Of Founding Of CAA
Shows Vast Air Travel Improvements
(EDITOR'S NOTE: It was
just 25 years ago, on June 23,
1938. that President Franklin D.
Roosevelt signed into law the
Civil Aeronautics Act leglsla
tion that created a Civil Aero
nautics Board (CAB) with com
plete authority over the nation's
airlines.)
By ROBERT J. SKItl.LNG
LTI Aviation Editor
WASHINGTON lUPIl It was
a year when the airlines cut coast-
to-coast travel to 16 hours and
proudly boasted they were carry
ing nearly 2 million passengers
annually.
(Twenty-five years later they
were carrying more than 60 mil
lion passengers, the transcontin
ental trips were down to less than
five hours, and supersonic flight
of only two hours was a formal
government-industry project.
Tile DC3 was the queen of the
airways in 1938. In lad. the big
technical aviation news of the
year involved the initial test
(lights of the nation's first four-l
engine airliners the Douglas
1X4 and the Boeing 307, the lat
ter to become the world's first
pressurized transport.

because they couldn't till a 12- or
21ifassengcr airliner.
"I'm worrying about where they
are going lo get 40 or 50 passen
gers at a clip, he wrote, in un
witting anticipation of the day
when airlines actually would wor
ry where they were going to get
125 or 130 passengers at a clip.
The airlines in 1938 were carry
ing 3,300 passengers every 24
hours I in 1983, a single large air
line carries that many every two
hours'. But the industry was well
aware that the air travel market
was untapped. One study showed
that while the total number of
passengers carried was just under
2 million, only about 200.000 ac
tually flew enough times to reach
the 2 million figure.
Chief Obstacle
Fear was the chief obstacle.

the part of the federal govern

sum might be compared with the
current Federal Aviation Agency
budget of $800 million.
