Three American political SCI
entists have just returned from
the Dominican Republic where
they studied ways to transform
the dictatorship of Generals
simo Rafael Truiillo into a
democracy.
Their mission was undertaken
with the consent of Gen. Tru-
jillo at the urging Of Senator
Smathers, Democrat of Florida.
The Ford Foundation financed
1t.
How it all came about was
outlined yesterday by William
McHale. Senator Smathers'
press secretary. Senator Smath-
ers himself was in Florida for
a speaking engagement.
Last February, Senator
S1athers stopped in the Do
minican Republic on his way
hcme from a donation tour
of Latin America and had a
tWo-hour talk with Gen. Tru-
jillo.
Senator Smathers, long inter-
eSted in Latin American affairs,
urged Gen. Trujillo to take
steps toward establishing a
democratic form of government
in the Dominican Republic, so
Communist dominated forces
would not take over after him.
Senator Smathers expressed
concern about what might hap
pen in the present state of un-
rest if anything should happen
to Gen. Trujillo and there were
no democratic procedures for
the selection of a successor.
Gen. Trujillo said that per-
haps he should have a transi-
tion government but raised the
question of how he should go
about it. Senator Smathers
said that while a complete
change overnight would be i'm
possible, a first step might be
the holding of municipal elec-
tions.
Mr.. McHale said that Gen.
Trujillo agreed to hold free
municipal elections within 18
months and free national
elections within two years but
told Senator Smathers that he
would have to have the as
siStance of election experts for
the transition.
When Senator Smathers re-
turned to the United States,
he got in touch with members
of the American Political
Science Association and they
agreed to get up team to GO
to the Dominican Republic and
prepare a report to Gen. Tru-
jillo on how he could set up
democratic elections in the
country.

INCORPORATE
TINY WIRELESS
RECEIVER.


Washington, D. C.-(Special)
A patent has been applied for on
the first major electronic hearing
aid advance since miniaturiza-
tion-a tiny wireless transmitter-
receiver. The new electronic aid
provides the eyeglass wearer with
a personal subminiature broad
cast station" This eliminates the
need for wire or mechanical con-
nections of any kind.
The miniaturized transmitter is
located in the wearer's eyeglass
bows. 1t sends sound much like
a broadcast station) to a tiny re-
ceiver button in the ear canal.
The elimination of external con-
nections of any kind afford the
user more comfort and con-
venience.
There is nothing to attach in
order to hear, nothing to detach
for removal of optical aids.
EyeglaSS wearers may remove
glasses for cleaning or eye relax
alton and restore hearing merely
by replacing them as they would
ordinary glasses.
Inventors of this new hearing
aid call it the Radiant" They
believe that this nearly-inviSible
personal "broadcasting" system
will be a boon to many of the l

ConVair Peace
Seen as New
Strike Looms

SAN DIEGO. Calf, June
(AP) "A break in the troubled
missile industry seemed near
today as Convair made a new
contract offer to striking ma
chinistS and predicted a quick
end to the week-long walkout.
R. H. Biron, vice president
of Convair Division of General
Dynamics, declined to disclose
details of his company's bid to
the lam, but said:
I'VE are close to a settle
ment. We are ready to meet
with the International Asso-
citation of Machinists all day

There was no immediate
comment from the union.
In Burbank, north of here,
a second strike loomed. A
spokesman for the lam pre-
dicted the union would decisive
ly turn down the latest Lock-
heed contract offer.
The offer would mean a loss
in take-home pay of 10 cents

spokesman said. The uncount-

shipped to Sunnyvale, Calf,
the spokesman said, for tabu-

Typhoon Caused
Serious Losses

TOKYO, Sunday, June IL
(AP).-Radio Peiping reported
today that Typhoon Mary
caused serious losses in some
places" in Red China last week.
The storm was dying today
as it moved on the southern
most Japanese island of Kyu-

The Peiping broadcast said
the typhoon drenched South

and sent water levels in rivers
surging. Thousands of persons
in Kwangtung and Fukien
provinces were said to be re-
inforcing dikes against rising
crests.

mand posts. he already has
visited most of the others.
Informants said he likely will
discuss any problems local au-
thorities may foresee in the
development of operational IA
cilities in Kenya and the Fed
Grafton.
The main difficulties antici-
pated thus far are political
rather than military.
At present the state of ma
tionalist opinion in the Middle
East, Africa and the Far East
almost certainly would bring
strong resistance to the stock
piling of nuclear weapons.
AS one example, the emerg-
ing states of Africa are anxious
to keep out of the East-West
power struggle and certainly
out of any possible firing line.
InformantS stressed, however,
the British hope to sidestep any
such objections by this for
mula:
They do not presently plan
to build up nuclear stockpiles
or air bases in the conventional
sense.
y Plan Explained
Instead, the plan is to ar
range that bombers should fly
out already armed and that
transport aircraft should bring
out extra nuclear weapons if
and when needed.
The chosen airfields would
be developed to accommodate,
service, equip and generally
serve units of the strategic air
arm.
The Allies calculate their air
dispersal program will compel
the SovietS to thin out - and
thereby weaken-their own all
Idefenses.

ing to the likely dispersal of
Britain's startegic airpower-
and notably the skybolt-carry-
ing bomberS expected to be
operational by the mid 1905
to bases around the world.
Mr.. Watkinson, just back
from negotiating a British
American agreement on devel-
oping air-launched Skybolt nu-
clear missiles, was asked by a
newsman if the Skybolt car
riers would operate exclusively
from British bases.
II see no reason why all the
bomber sites have to be in this
country" he replied.
List of Areas Considered
Defense authorities said to-
night that airfields in the
Mediterranean and Middle
East, East and Central Africa
and the Far East are being
earmarked as possible base
areas.
These would include fields in
Cyprus, where the British hope
to retain a military enclave
after that island colony be-
comes independent; in Alden
Colony. Kenya, the Central Af-
rican Federation and certain
Asian colonial territories such
as Singapore.
One effect of the move in an
EaSt-West war waged with the
type of 5,000-mile-range rock
cts Russia is developing would
be to bring most of these base
territories into the nucleal
front lines.

staff, Lord Mountbatten, will,

Under the law. a person so

considered to be dangerous to
himself or others.
In the houSebreaking and
larceny case several years ago,
Durham was twice convicted
but each time the conviction
was reversed and set aside by
the United States Courts Of
Appeals. In its first decision the
appellate court established new
criterion in dealing with in
sanity in criminal cases. It held
there are grounds for acquittal
when q crime is a product of a
mental disease or defect.
The housebreaking, and lar

when Durham pleaded guilty to
petty larceny, for which he re-
ceived a one-year sentence. The

Justice for Juveniles is

Justice is also costly, he

Hospital Tests Durham
For Possible Release

Monte W. Durham whose housebreakng and larceny case

question Of insanity in criminal may get conditional

after being adudged guilty robbery charge by

Of insanity. The not guilty
judgment was handed down by
District Court Judge Burnita
Shelton Matthews after a jury
had found him guilty despite
a defense contention that he
was of unsound mind at the
time of the robbery.
Yesterday, Durham sought
either an unconditional or con-
ditional release in a habeas
corpus action before Judge
Luther w. Youngdahl. A bench
conference was called after
Durham had testified, while
other witesses waited outside.
The court was informed by
DR.. Winfred Overholser, super
intendent of st. Elizabeths Hos
pitak. that he would be willing
to recommend a conditional re-
lease for Durham If the latter
follows a proper behavior pat
tern during a test period Of the
next several months.
Continuance Set
Judge Youngdahl then con-
ttnued the habeas corpus hear
ing until June %. Durham
readily agreed to the contin- |
uance.
Durham, it was explained, re-
Gently has been confined to a.
hospital ward. During the test
period, it was said, he will be

privileges. leading up to ground
privileges. While on the stand,
Durham had testified that he
has walked away from the hos
pital on three occasions.
A recommendation by DR..
Overholser for Durham's con-
ditional release would require
court approval. While testify
ing, Durham said in the past
he had been unable to get a
good job because of the pub |
licity regarding the Durham
rule.
Freedom Denied
Last November, Durham was
turned down by Judge Joseph
