under conditions which might
have driven other chiefs of

Mr.. Balaguer is now reaping
what he sowed by his long
association with Generalissimo
Rafael Trujillo.
Critics seem not to question
his personal honesty.

NEW YORK, Dec. Is (AP)
The cruise liner Acapulco
denied approval by United
States Coast Guard safety in
spectors-is sailing home to
Mexico without passengers.
Only the 200 officers and
crewmen are aboard.
The 15,182-ton Acapulco,
MeXico's first passenger liner,

to Vera Cruz.
The renovated 38-year-old
ship was to have sailed for the
Caribbean last Friday with 435
passengers on her maiden voy-
age under Mexican ownership,
The holiday cruise to Vera
Cruz with stops at Haiti and

at $275,000. The ships owners,

chose to sacrifice himself
rather than invite chaos by
quitting.
Why he chose a spot among
the Sycophants who trailed
Gen. Trujillo is a question
which seemingly defies a reas-

Mr.. Balaguer's father was q
