# DOSUCHI URCHNUO12 6 apr 76REPUBLIC![CODA stamp]PCD ATTACKS POLITICAL LEADER PEREZSanto Domingo Radio Clarin Network in Spanish 1200 GMT 6 Apr 76 PL[Text] The Dominican Communist Party (PCD) today asserted that if Luis Julian Perez becomes president he will persecute PCD members. The PCD Political Committee, in a press statement sent to Radio Clarin, indicates that Julian Perez has retreated and postponed his anticommunist offensive. The former chairman of the National Development Commission had asserted that he would disclose the names of each member of the communist party that holds positions with the government.The PCD adds in its statement that Julian Perez now states that he never said it. In fact, he contradicts himself, retreats and is avoiding a political confrontation in which he can only lose. The PCD also points out that his statement was nothing but a gross lie.MEMBERSHIP IN SUGAR PRODUCERS UNION OPPOSEDSanto Domingo Radio Clarin Network in Spanish 2200 GMT 7 Apr 76 PL[Station commentary][Text] We have insistently said that to belong to the famous Union of Latin American Sugar Producers--to which the Philippines has been added--is not (word indistinct) or beneficial to the Dominican Republic because there is a notable difference between producing and exporting countries and in their respective interests.We have also criticised the series of limitations imposed on the Dominican Republic by virtue of meetings held and commitments acquired. Those limitations and commitments are made in exchange for nothing because a country that produces sugar but does not export it has nothing to lose in agreeing to limitations on its free right to negotiate, to sell, and so forth.Right now the Philippines has acquired a contract on sugar sales for a 5-year period with a U.S. refinery amounting to 650,000 tons annually. Did the Dominican Republic know anything about this? Or did it learn about it, as we did, from international news dispatches? What prior consultations were made? How does this (agree) with the famous meetings and agreements of Cozumel, Puerto Plata, Lima and Cali?It is not that we believe the deal with the Philippines will have any effect on the price of sugar or the market; however, we take the opportunity to stress this example and make known the reason we have had and have to criticize the Dominican Republic's entry in an international group from which we will get no benefits.AUTHORITIES DENY ARRIVAL OF ANTI-CASTRO LEADERSanto Domingo Radio Clarin Network in Spanish 2200 GMT 30 Mar 76 PL![BK stamp][Excerpts] It is not true that anti-Castro exile Orlando Bosch is in the Dominican Republic, Immigration Director General Commodore (Ret) Enrique Rafael Valdes Vidaurre declared today. He added that a report to the effect that Dr Bosch had been expelled from Costa Rica to our country was journalistic speculation. The report had been made in San Jose, Costa Rica, last night by a spokesman for the government of President Daniel Oduber.The Foreign Relations Secretariat today also pointed out that it had no knowledge that Bosch had been expelled to our country on orders of the Costa Rican Supreme Court after many countries consulted by the government of that Central American country refused to admit the anti-Castro exile.FOIS, DK* 67 (LA) 6 APR 76
