return TO HIS country in week or two

in-law Of President Morales, Emile

then, shaking his hand, congratulated
him on holding such a responsible po-

"Is your revolution ended?" he was

"No, never. We still hold possess

going back to Santo Domingo in about
two weeks, although i may change my
mind and run over to Europe for
day or two"
How about your army? How is it

trouble?"

am not. He is the guilty party and
can prove it. Always have been on

assure yau that am ambitious, most
ambitious for the prosperity of my

Morales asking MIN to abandon the
presidency and appoint sort of junta
consisting of two impartial men to ad-
minister the affairs Of state pending a
