Dominican Republic
Asks New Airing Of
DISPUTE With Cuba
By the Asseeiofsd Press

A long standing feud between
Cuba and the Dominican Republic
was spotlighted yesterday when
the Dominican government for
mally asked for another airing OF
troubles between the two conn-
tries.
The development occurred in an
exchange of notes between the
Dominican government and the
flve-nation Inter-American Peace
Committee.
The latter group was set up by
the 81 hemisphere foreign minis
ters in 1910 to seek peaceful
settlement of Inter- american dis
putes. The United States, Brazil,
Mexico, Argentina and Cuba are
members.
After three weeks Of discussion
the committee Thursday night
sent note to the Dominican gov
ernment expressing concern over
special war powers granted to
President Rafael Trujillo. The
Dominican Republic replied that
they resulted from a profound
state OF emergency" in the Carib-
bean.
War Powers Granted.
Trujillo got from the Dominican
Congress this month power to de-
clare war on any country which
he considers is harboring plotters
working against him.
The move was directed to Cuba
where Mr.. Trupillo charged a new
attempt to mount an invasion of
the Dominican Republic is going
on. This was strongly denied by
Cuba.
The committees note asked Mr..
Trujillo not to use force unless
under armed attack in accordance
with terms of the Rio mutual
defense treaty.
In reply, Dominican Secretary
of State Virgilio Diaz Ordonez
said mo other country or govern
ment would fail to act in the same
way as we are doing now" But
he added that the republic
would respond to any conciliatory
gesture to end the "abnormality
with which We are confronted.
His note added the government
is ready to receive recommends
tions from the committee.
The feud between the two
Caribbean nations is an old story
to the committee. In 1948, the
group got the two nations to agree
to settle their differences through
diplomatic channels. The Domini-
can charge then was based on an
unsuccessful attempt in 1947 by
various groups of exAes to create
an invasion force in Cuba to over
throw Mr.. Trujillo.
The following year the Domini-
cans went before the committee
with the assertion the same group
was being outfitted anew in Cuba.
A few months ago the commit
tee issued a 14-point statement
designed to calm Caribbean ten
sion after an airborne invasion
| of the Dominican Republic failed.
In the meantime, it settled a
flareup between the, naighboring
Dominican Republic and Haiti,
when the latter charged Mr..
Trujillo was peSsclially involved
in plot to overthrow the Port
'au-Prince government.

Retirement Benefits.
There will be a move to increase
civil retirement benefits for en-
|ployes retired because Of disability.
Also, increased survivorship in
surance payments will be sought
for the widows and orphans of
deceased Government workers who
spent only a few years in the
Federal service and consequently
left their dependents with only
very small insurance annuity bene-
fits.
While the Civil Service Com
mission probably won't favor any
such increases, some members of
Congress will sponsor such legis-
lation. ..
Representative Rhodes, Demo-
|crat, Of Pennsylvania, will again
try to win approval of his bill to
give collective bargaining rights
to Federal employe unions. The
measure. already approved by a
House Civil Service Subcommittee,
would compel Federal agencies to
consult all the employees unions
on all personnel matters and il,
the issuance of new working rules.
Strong opposition has cropped up
to the bill and it has a tough
time ahead.
In addition to all these en-
ploye bills, President Truman is
expected to submit to Congress q
new batch of proposals for re-
organizing and consolidating var
ious Government agencies. Among
them may be proposals for COM
bining the various transportation
units into a new agency or under
the Commerce Department, and
the consolidation of the Govern
ment's 13 different lending and
guaranteeing agencies.

What's the Origin?

@. Will you please give the cor
rect origin of the name Illinois?
Also, please explain the term "Illini"
as applied to the football team of
the University of Illinois. Ted
Husing accents Illini on the second
syllable, which he pronounces like
the word '1ie." Isn't that wrong?
"A. v.
A. Let us discuss the questions in
the order in which you have asked
them.
/. The name Illinois evolved from
the Indian tribal name Iliniwek,
from Ilini, meaning, literally, man"
The -ek of Illinwek is the plural
termination. Early French explorers
changed the -ek to -oiS, French
masculine Sufflx. The name finally
evolved as Illinois, with the pre-
ferred pronunciation: ill-i-NOY.
2. The term Illini is a nickname
that is both plural and singular. It
designates a. student or the students
of the University of Illinois, an
alumnus or the alumni Of the school,
an individual player or the varsity
team as a whole. It has its origin,
of course, in the tribal name Ilini,
but Illini is spelled with two "l's"
due to the influence of the name
Illinois.
3. Ted Husing's pronunciation of
Illini is quite correct. The first II"
is short as in "ill." The second and
third Il" have the long sound,
rhyming with "by, my" The ac-
cent falls on the second syllable.
Think of the three words, "ill, eye,
nigh" and say: ill-EYE-n nigh.

Of State Of Illinois for the 1nfor-

axe My Word for 1t
By Fronk Colby

English class, the phrase ''to your
hearts content" has caused some
discussion. The question is: Is
hearts" a possessive or is it the
contraction for "heart is?"-J. A. r.
Answer: Hearts" is a possessive,
and content" is short for content
ment, freedom from care. Hearts
content" is an old idiom which
arose from the ancient belief that
the heart was the seat of the
emotions, an allusion that still
survives in such figures of speech
as "hard-hearted; faint hearted;
sick at heart; hearty; heartened;
sweetheart" etc.
