COMMUNITY CHEST MONTH
THIS IS COMMUNITY Chest Month. It is in this
month that this Chest presents its case to the public, So
licits funds, and lays down its program for the coming
year.
ORDINARILY, GROUPS such as the Community
Chest, like the Red Cross, are SO well known, and their
programs so well established that it is often difficult to
detail all this to the public. There is always the chance
that constant repetition will tend to be boring. How
ever, the function, purpose, and work Of the Community
Chest is so highly important that no amount Of remind
ing can possibly be in vain.
THE COMMUNITY CHEST idea came about be-
cause at one time, not too long ago, numerous agencies,
committees, and private citizens understood to solicit
funds from the public for charitable and other purposes.
In this group would be those which sought funds for
child welfare and care, orphans, old peoples groups, re-
creation and delinquency control These perhaps would
come at various times during the year, SO that the pub
lie would be subject to constant bombardment for funds.
THEN ALONG CAME the community chest idea,
which is, simply, to consolidate all these programs and
projects into one functioning, active body, with repre-
s~entatives from the various groups, and making one cen
trail appeal. October is the month generally set aside for
this solicitation.
IN A DEMOCRACY, in which the government
cannot and will not dictate every phase Of the lives Of
its citizens, private enterprise has the responsibility Of
undertaking many Of these programs, and the care and
protection Of certain members Of the community is part
Of this undertaking.
RAISING OF FUNDS is always a problem, and the
committee ard officials of the Community Chest, usually
call upon groups, clubs. and individuals. In addition the
Chest will conduct programs, including dances, and
other fund raising ventures. This year, q special word
Of appreciation must go to Mrs. Rachael Armstrong,
owner and manager of the Buccaneer Hotel who has
graciously offered the use Of the spacious ballroom for q
dance, as the kickoff step in the months activities

highly probable the recent
events in the Dominican Re
public where President Hector
Trujillo resigned and others Of
the Truiillo family severed con-
nections with the home govern
rnent, were related someho@ to
the committees report. .
There was no agreement,
however, as to whether the Do
minican government changes
were merely an attempt to
cloud the picture when the for
eign ministers discuss the Do
minican case in Costa Rica, or
whether Mr.. Trujillo and his
relatives actually were going
into a form of exile abroad,
all with government jobs.
Frequent Contacts
The committee said it had
evidence that some Of the plot
ters were welcomed to the
Dominican Republic by high
army officials, that a few OF
them saw Generalissimo Rafael
Trujillo, long time strong man
OF the country, and that there
were frequent contacts be-
tween the plotters and Col.
John Abbes Garcia, often
called the chief of the Domini-
can Secret Service and one of
the Generalissimo's right hand
men.
The committee said that
Gen. Trujillo. to whom it re-
ferred as "the chief of the
armed forces" offered the
plotterS such aid as they
might need to overthrow the
Venezuelan regime and sug-
gested that they proceed with
rapidity and decision."

mittee, commenting on The
Stars report Of the Russian
activities at the association
convention, called it very
tragic that we are so careless
about our intelligence system
There are leaks in the Pen
ltagon," he said. And I say with
humility, intense humility. that
some of the worst leaks occur
in Congress. I cringe when
hear informed members of our
ARMED Services Committee
make public remarks that have
an effect on our national
security"
He said he was not familiar
with the type of information
available at the Sheraton
Park meeting but presumes
such displays should and will be
continued s.s. Gsn. 10
However, I am alarmed that
we have a slipshod system Of
security. So far as I can see,
only we can stop our own
leaks on Capitol Hill. The
administration should initiate
proper surveillance and a
proper breakdown on the leaks
that come from the Pentagon." J"
Senator Keating stressed that
he was not suggesting that
Americans alter their free So
ciety.
Il am warning that we. as
free Americans, must not be
deferred in our efforts to OBJ
tain intelligence information by
hypocritical Soviet reprisals
against Americans in Moscow u
he said. I'VE must gather So
viet-block secrets to have our

1--WE must be ever alert to
the kind of gumshoeing plotted
daily by Russian diplomats and
exposed so completely by the
alert and accurate reporting
we have come to expect from

respond to Soviet lies and false
allegations with American truth

officers at an Army Association
convention at the Sheraton
Park Hotel this week. Senator
Russell. Democrat of Georgia,
also commented on the sig
nif1cance of The Star report.
The duplicity of the Rus
sian bear-who breaches peace
fulcoexistence and practices
treacherous intelligence activi-
ties-has been revealed clearly
in the article" Senator Keat-
ing said. He said he would in
sert the story by Jerry OLeary,
jr., in the Congressional Record
to alert a wider leadership to
foreign espionage in our Ma
tion's Capital" The pictures
were taken by Ranny Routt.
The real significance of this
disclosure is that it illustrates
the contrast between the free
American society and the Iron
Curtain societies. Senate r
Keating said.
He reminded the Senate
that Soviet defectors had re-
ported that 80 per cent of a
Soviet intelligence agents time
is spent in other countries get
ting information readily avail
able to Soviet diplomats in this
country.
j. Edgar Hoover, director of
the Federal Bureau of Inves-
tigation, in cooperation with
the Senate Judiciary Commit
tee, laid bare the techniques of
Soviet civilian spying in a re-
port prepared last May.
THE ease with which in
formation is obtained in this
country has resulted in a re-
duction Of the hazardous, ex-
penSive and time consuming
clandestine operations which
otherwise would be necessary, I"
said Senator Keating who is a
member of the Senate Internal
Security subcommittee study
ing the Hoover report.
"Soviet-bloc officials habit
ually attend conventions such
as the Washington convention,
reported so adroitly by Mr..
OLeary and Mr.. Routt," the
Senator added. "Once. Mr..
Hoover tells us. the Soviets
picked up $50 pounds of mate
rial at one American conven-
tion."
The Senator also noted that
the open spying in Washington
was a contrast to the heavy
handed tactics of Soviets In
their drive to stir up worlc
opinion on the eve of the trial
of Francis Gary Powers, pilot
of the U-2 jet downed on So
Wet territory.

SouVanna to head q govern
ment that will incline neither
toward the free world nor the
Communist world.D
There was doubt as to what
Prince Souvanna, SO, might do
about Capt. Kong's efforts to
displace Prime Minister Tiao
Somsanith. Mr.. Somsanith is in
Luang Prabang, the royal seat,
with other members of the
government.
Capt. Kong appears to be
trying to keep his revolution
alive and the list of the pro-
visional committee of his revo-
lutionary party includes Prince
Souvanna. But the Prince said
in an open letter to Capt. Kong
yesterday he wanted nothing to
do with revolutionaries and
asked that his name be re-
moved.
Round the Clock Talks
Since the coup, leftist leaders
have been having round-the-
clock discussions with Capt,
Kong and some feel that in
a search for support the revolu-
tionary leader may try to deal
with pro-Communist Prince
SouVanna Wong, half-brother of
Prince Souvanna Phouma and
leader of Pathet Lao.
Prince Souvanna Wong es-
capped military Jail in Vientiane
three months ago and is be-
lieved hiding in the jungles of
North Vientiane province.
Capt. Kong is holding Vien-
tiane with about 800 troops.
Western diplomats are preSum-
ing royal army forces in Luang
Prabang are loyal to the King.
Without political support or
support Of provincial armies 1t
is unlikely Capt. Kong can
spread his influence outside
Vientiane.
Capt. Kong said in a speech
yesterday he wanted Prince
Souvanna Phouma as prime
minister because he could best
deal with his half-brother.
Prince Souvanna Phouma ne
gotiated an agreement with his
half-brother in 1857.

made public officially Monday
night, just before the hemis-
phere foreign ministers meet
in Costa Rica August 16.
A copy of the document OBJ
tanned from Independent t
sources says the facts gathered
by the commission are that the
plot began May 8, 1860, when
Juan Manuel Sanoja, a Vene-
Zuelan who had lived IA years
in the Dominican Republic,
went by plane to the Domini-
can Republic, via Haiti, and
began trips and consultations
which preceded the explosion
of a dynamite-laden automo-
bile near one occupied by Mr..
Betancourt.
1t was not Mr.. Sanoja, how
ever, the commission said, who
pressed the button transmit
ting a signal causing the in
stantaneous explosion" That
man, the committee said, was
a Venezuelan, Luis Cabrera
Sifontes.
In its formal conclusions, an
nounced in paraphrase form
earlier this week, the commits
sion said the attempt was an
effort to overthrow the gov
ernment" of Venezuela; that
those implicated in the at
tempt and in the plot men
toned received moral support
and material aid from high
functionaries of the Dominican
Republic" and it outlined spe-
cifically the materials sup
piled. ...
Diplomatic sources said it is
