Trujillo's Crew Loses No Time In Covering
 Up 'Zsa Zsa Slept Here"

SAN PEDRO, Calif., R = Peo- pie were pointing at Gen. Rafael Trujillo's yacht, the Angelita, and laughing. Crewman couldn't fig ure out why.
 When boatload of news pho tographers chugged up and be- gan photographing the gleaming white yacht from the harbor side, crewman leaned way out over the rail.
 There. painted near the water line-where the deck overhang hid it from above-were these words:
 "Zsa Zsa slept here"
 In burst of energy not pre- viously displayed by the yachts 80-man crew, painters soon cov- cred the words. Harbor officials said the sign was apparently ap- piled from a small boat, probably with a spray can, during the night.
 Zsa Zsa Gabor was the actress who introduced the son of the Dominican Republics strongman to Hollywood society.

Virgin IslQnds
Combo Is Big
Hit in Puerto Rico

43@aE
With the large influx of Vir-
gin Islands students coming to
Inter American University,
the idea was expressed Of
forming an orchestra consist
ing of native talent to partici-
pate and promote music and
culture of the Virgin Islands.
This idea was enthusiastically
accepted and the result was a
five man Combo that plays
popular song-hits from the
mainland, Latin America and
the native Caribbean islands.
In order to improve their
renditions and constantly on
the alert for new methods to
please their listening audience,
the Combo recently secured an
simplifying set to give sharper
and clearer tones to their
rhythmic presentations. They
also reorganized their function
to include a set of vibes which
allows.th boys to variate and
display their musical talent on
one or more instruments. For
example, Mario de Chabert
plays the vibes but is ade-
quately capable Of supplying a
trumpet background when sup
ported by Christian collie"
Christensen, who besides play
ing the vibes is right at home

Fred Thomas, who is a master
guitarist also plays the piano
and the string-bass, Lii Fred
also arranges music and plays
professionally with Los Happy

Bough is the man behind the
timba1es and does an excellent
all-around job but loves to
play his native calypso music.
