Dominican Rebel Force

CIUDAD TRUJnLO. Do
minican Republic, June "a
(AP) The Truilllo govern
ment claims it has wiped out a
Cuban-supported invasion force
near the Dominican Republics
north coast and killed its
leader.
An announcement said 68-
year-old Generalissimo Rafael
Trujillo. who has ruled tliis
country for 20 years. directed
land. air and sea operations
against the invaders last week
in the Constanza area, 1870
miles northwest of Ciudad
Trujillo.
1t was the first Official con-
firmation of reports from Do
minican exiles in Cuba and
Venezuela that an invasion
force had landed last week
seeking to topple the govern
ment. But the versions OF the
government and the exiles
differed widely.
The government announce
ment said Capt Enrique Ji-
menez Moya, described by the
exiles as the expedition leader,
was killed as he tried to es-
cape. 1t identified six other
bodies among the rebel dead,
but did not list the total cas-
ualties or the size of the in
vasion force.
Reliable informants in the
Haitian capital of Port au
Prince said the landing was
made Saturday by a force, of
about 600. They said Dcminl-
can forces apparently gained
the upper hand after 48 hours
Of bloody fighting.

Constanza with the invasion
force Generalissimo Trulillo

broadcast called on the Red
Cross to stop what it called
mass bombings Of civilians by
Dominican planes and appealed
for a general strike against the
Trujillo government.
Rebel sources in Havana dis
counted Dominican reports
that Trujillo forces hao killed
Capt. Jimenez Moya and other
rebel leaders. They said that,
with the exception Of the CAP

dead were in the Constanza
area.

The House Ways and Means
Committee repeatedly Is refus-
ing to 60 along with President
Eisenhower's plan to eliminate
the ceiling on interest rates for
some Government bonds.
The President had asked
Congress to remove the AZ per
cent ceiling on long term bonds
so they could compete fol-
money now going into other in
vestments. Bonds for terms
less than five years are exempt
from the ceiling.
But, 1t was reported yester-
day, the committee has decided
informally to try other ways
Of easing the money problems
Of the Treasury Department.
Flexibility Denied
The stated aim would be to
give the Treasury more flexi-
bility in managing the national
debt and in competing for
funds against other forms Of
investment.
Suggested alternatives in
clude congressional approval
of sale Of bonds at q discount,
or less than face value; revis-
ing upward the present five-
year exemption from interest
rate limitations; authorizing
new exempt bond series, and
other proposals.
The discount method was re-
ported to be all but discarded.
There now Is no legal maxi
mum on interest rates paid by
the Treasury on Government
securities Of five years or less.
More Room TO Market
BY increasing the exempt Pc
riod to 10 years. for example,
the Treasury would have more
room to market long-term Sc
curitieS at more favorable in

interest rate ceiling untouched.

Union Of New York and Vicinity,
Also indicted were Irving
Bitz. a former convict also
known as Morris Grossman,
and his Bi-County News Corp.
Of Westbury. N. Y, and several
of his associates.
No charge was made by the
grand jury against any news
paper or magazine publisher.
The grand jury charged that
a monopoly for wholesale dis
tribution of magazines and
newspapers on Long Island was
set up for Bitz by strikes,
threats of strikes, violence and
intimidation.
Big Magazine Distributor
Bitz, described by the Gov
ernment as the Nations largest
distributor of magazines, is
also an officer and stockholder
of the Bronx County News
Corp.
The indictments. which
charge violations of the Sher-
man Antitrust Act and the
Hobbs Anti-racketeering Act,
were handed up yesterday.
Bitz had been questioned by
the Senate RacketS Committee.
There he invoked the Fifth
Amendment. Testimony before
the committee told of payments
TO Bitz going back 10 years to
insure delivery Of newspapers
and magazines.
The defendants include Sam
Feldman. former president of
the independent Newspaper and
Mail Deliverers Union: Stanley
J. Lehman. present secretary
and treasurer, and Harry Walt
ger, business agent.

area.
Members of the association
sell $50 million worth of news
papers and magazines a year
to newsstands and other retail
outlets. According to the in
dictments. the publishers con-
tracts with the union compel
them to use only those outlets
that have contracts with the
union,
The indictments charged that
the wholesalers had been COM
PEELED to pay financial tribute
to remain in business.
The Justice Department ex-
.plained that the indictments
were made under a new legal
concept-that extorting money
from an employer to let him
stay IN business is a violation
of the antitrust law.
The Government charges that
strikes or threats of strikes
were used to force payment of
$25,000 by members of subur-
ban wholesalers to three de-
PENDANTS in 1855, and payment
Of $45,000 by the same group in
1857 in similar circumstances.
Recipients Listed
The indictments charge that
tine recipients of the first pay
ment were Walter. William
Walsh and Angelo Lospinuso,
both former business agents.
The second payment. it is al
legged, went to Bitz, Feldman,
Lehman, Walter and John
Lawrence, jr., another former
union business agent.
These alleged recipients were
named in the indictments along
