SANTO DOMINGO

Truji|Io City Boasts Vast
Public Works Projects
Under President.

While bells in churches 400 years nc
rang out the tidings that Santo Do
mingo Is no more and that modern
metropolis to be called Trujillo Cisy
(Ciudad Trujillo) was born in It's
stead, the Dominican Republic Lega-
tion mere gave out statement paint
ing the glowing history of the city
established In 1895, after its discovery
by Christopher Columbus in 1893.
The new name of the city is in
honor of President Rafael L. Truji'io.
who in the past five years has raised
the city from a mass of hurricane
strewn wreckage to one of the world S
beautiful and modern capitals.
Within sight of the tomb of Column
bus and almost in the shadow of the
oldest universities in the Americas and
OF three of the city's most ancient
churches, solemn rites we're held by
archbishops and other high dignitaries
according to the statement. The Jaw
changing the name was passed last
Thursday by the national Congress in
response to petitions signed by 599.l l73
Dominicans, almost half of the adult
population.
The statement by the Dominican
Minister also told of the tragic night of
September 8, 1880, when 1000 men.
women and children lay dead in the
streets of the city and of more than
10000 others who suffered injuries
Only the towering Colonial structures
built by Columbus and the Spanish
conquistadores stood before the hur-
ricane's destruction.
Speaking Of the part played by
President Trujillo, the statement says:
with will that brought comment
from the entire world, the 39year-old
Chief Executive personally directed
the task of saving the Impoverished
population from starvation and cpl
denies, and then of constructing
new city to replace the old one. Rap
idly new streets, buildings, homes and
parks appeared. until Santo Domingo
became q new metropolis in cleaning
white, far surprising the city it had
replaced.

Quoted vast program Of public works
throughout the nation, financed en-
tirely from current revenue New
highways were laid into every corner
OF the country; great bridges were
swung across rivers, among them the
largest suspension bridge in Latin
America; new schools. hospitals. Ii
braries. were erected everywhere.
Agricultural development mounted to
new all-time highs and industry
leaped from a handful of manufac-
turing establishments to more than
1900.
After his reelection in 1894. Presi-
dent Trujillo began an even more
impressive public works program, the
climax of which is the creation of an
artificial port at Trujillo City. now
nearly completed. At a cost of s3,00O,-
900 this new port permits for the
first time actual entry to the docks
OF the harbor.
The Dominican people, idolizing
their leader, began last June the
movement to rename Santo Domingo
for its re-creator, but President Tru-
1illo checked the movement by a fat
refusal to permit the change. Within
the last month a new movement arose,
shared by the whole nation, and re-
sulting in todsy's action over the

A very strong personality has allowed
her to accomplish this miracle: to be unlike

had the secret and had taken it with her. To
my mind, great scholar had to have the
inner radiance of Marie Curie, her enthusi-

followed, step by step, the same exceptional
career. She is quite different woman, one

the least vain, she never doubts herself. She
always knew what she wanted, and accom-
plished it without haste or vain display but
with patient courage.
Above all, she loves scientific research. In
1921 she published. in the Complies Rendus,"
her first essay as physicist. In 1885. after
fourteen years of hard work, the Nobel Prize
for Chemistry brought her celebrity and COM
pensation for having, with her husband, made
a notable contribution to the progress of
science.
Because she hates town life, it's dust and
noise, she had small house built in the
suburbs of Paris and another in Brittany. In
this way. from one end of the year to the
other. she can combine her work with the

She adores sports and even in periods of

and mountain climbing.
