Troops Withdrawn
But when a Stanleyville unit
recently tried to move on the
North Katanga town of Ka-

and the troops were gently but
firmly persuaded to withdraw.
Officially, the United Nations

Secretary Of State Rusk went
before the Senate Foreign Re-
lations Committee today for a
final closed-session review of
President Kennedy's foreign aid
program before the committee
begins voting.
The foreign aid bill promises
to produce one of the major
battles Of the session on a num-
Der of vital decisions the PreSi-
dent has asked this Congress
to make.
If the committee finishes with
Mr.. Rusk today, it may begin
going over the bill in executive
session tomorrow, but major
decisions are not expected be-
fore next week.
Although today's session was
supposed to deal only with for
eign aid, it was likely that the
Senators were questioning Mr.
Rusk about the approaching
Berlin crisis and the latest de-
velopments at other trouble
spots.
Kennedy Amends Budget
AS the hearing was going on
President Kennedy sent to Con-
gresS amendments to the 1876:
budget to carry out his recon
mendationS for an expanded
foreign assistance program.
The amendments would carry
out the Presidents foreign aic
views as outlined in previous
messages to Congress and woulC
provide for $3,575, 100000 in ap.
preparations. In addition, the
White House pointed out, a re.
quest for 5000 million in Dor.
rowing authority for the
Agency for international De.
velopment is now pending be.
fore Congress in authorizing
legislation.
Excluding "a request for $780,

Stand Urged
By Lemnitzer
BY the Associated Press

Gen. Lyman L. Lemnitzer
has declared the United States
cannot afford to give up one
more yard to communism, for
I'VE have been on the losing
end for too long a time"
Gen. Lemnitzer, chairman
of the Joint Chiefs Of Staff,
said, however, in testimony
made public yesterday by the
House Foreign Affairs Commit
tee that it is not for the
military to decide" when a
stand will have to be made.
But he agreed with a ques-
toner that such a stand will
have to be made.
Gen. Lemnitzer also agreed
with Representative Seely-
Brown, Republican Of Connect
lieut., that for the present the
only alternative to further
losses is to hold the line.
Gen. LemnitZer'S views came
out in a discussion of South
east Asia. He described the
Communist guerrilla threat to
South Wet Nam as very
dangerous"
NATO Held Strong
Another top official voiced
confidence in the power of
NATO'S nuclear striking force
despite a hands-off attitude by
France and Britain's independ-
ence in atomic weapons.
Assistant Secretary of State
Foy D. Kohler told the COM
mittee the actual nuclear
strength of NATO is high epd
amply provided for by atomic
Stockpiles in Europe, by de-
livery means in the hands of
United States and allied forces
and by the American promise
to commit Polaris missile sub
marines in 1868.
Mr.. Kohler said United
States and NATO policy on
nuclear capability was I'M
changed by the current en-
phasis on increasing conven-
tional warfare strength in
Europe. He defined that policy
as a determination that nuclear
weapons should be available in
the NATO theater land be used
in case of need"
The State Department Of
fetal testified that the concept
of a nuclear force owned,
manned and operated by NATO
developed late in the Eisen-
hover administration, is not
being pushed since it is mot
now considered a natter OF
great urgency"
Discusses Allies Weapons
Mr.. Kohler held out hope tina
during the current North At.
lantic Council review the British
would give some consideration
to the possible desirability o.
committing their nuclear capa'
bilitieS to NATO, instead o.
keeping them as an Independent
capability."
The real problem with
France" Mr.. Kohler testified
is that the French insist or
developing their own nucleal
weapons independence, with
their own warheads and owr
delivery means"
He said this insistence ha'
resulted in "a sort of hands-of.
policy with respect to NATC
nuclear weapons" and "tht
continuing refusal to permit
the stockpiling of American.
furnished atomic weapons il

Something Yet
To Be Revealed?

One wonders if there is not a little corner, as it
were, of the devotion to the Sacred Heart that has not
yet been revealed, even to St. Margaret Mary.
1t would be our guess that there is, and that that
yet undisclosed corner of Sacred Heart is reserved
for priests. If the world is to be

world Will be bettered.
THIS SEEMS TO BE THE
meaning Of the revelations to
Sister Margaret as the Sacred
Heart told her: 81 separate
them from others for My
work; | unveil to them the
mysteries of My love and My
mercy, and making them like
purified channels, | shall pour
out through them on the
world a new abundance Of
grace and pardon"
THIS NEW ELITE of saint
ly priests for whom the Sacred
Heart has reserved a special
revelation of His Incarnate
and Eucharistic Love, will not
carry candles to tighten a
world but torches: Il am come
to cast fire upon the earth"
One can see this saeerdotal
holiness already arising. In
our "God Love You" column
of some time ago we asked
priests to make sacrifices for
the spread OF the love of
Christ in Mission lands. The
graces of the apostleship they
received in return were abund-
ant beyond our knowing, for
as Pope Plus XI has said:
"Charity to the Society for
the Propagation of the Faith
surpasses all other charities,
as Heaven, earth and eternity,
time"
MAY WE CONTINUE to
find new enlistments in this
priestly army Of the Sacred
Heart. A sacrifice opens the
heart to receive grace; it is
like opening a window to re-
ceive fresh air. Each expio-
sion of the ego establishes a
new beach head of Divine
Power.
AS the Sacred Heart has
slated: Il wish to imprint My
Heart on the hearts of My
priests" o yes, you will help
the Missions, but you will
also help yourself. Our
preaching could be more
abIaze if we would but make
room for this as yet unreveal-
ed treasure of grace for
priests.

ing up personal wealth in the
multimillions for himself, his
family and his associates. The
Trujillo clique dominated-and
profited from-virtually every
phase of the country's eco
nomic life.
Gen. Trujillo insisted he had
to be a strongman If the nation
was to be lifted out Of poverty.
The Dominican Republic did
make great economic strides:
The national income rose from
81 million to $500 million, the
peso stood at par with the
dollar and the country stayed
clear Of foreign and internal
debts. ....
Foe Of Communism
Gen. Trujillo was a strong
foe of communism for years.
He also made enemies among
his Latin American neighbors,
with Fidel Castro of Cuba being
among the latest. And his iron
rule invited both internal and
external plots and threats.
His repression of the slightest
internal criticism and his end
less arrests finally made the
Roman Catholic Church in his
largely Catholic country an
enemy. too.
A plot last year resulted in
the arrest of thousands and
stories of harsh police brutality.
Most we're released. but at the
same time Venezuelan President
Romulo Betancourt was accus-
ing Gen. Trujillo of master
minding a plot that almost
killed him. The Organization
of American States called on
its members for political and
economic sanctions against the
dictator, and Washington broke
off diplomatic relations, along
with most Latin-American
states.

Gave Stern Warning
More recently, as active exile
groups in Cuba, Puerto Rico,
New York, Venezuela and Co.
lombia talked Of invasion,
Gen. Trujillo said menacingly :
Brains and boards will fly like
butterflies"
Yet he kept a food faster and
had dinner guests eat first at
his seaShore mansion outside
Ciudad Trujillo. He carried a
rifle whenever he went without
carloads of bodyguards and was
a crack shot.
Gen. Trujillo's two marriages
produced two sons and two
daughters. The younger son
Rhadames, 19, attended Kemp
er Military School in Boonville
Mo. He left it for health rea-
sons at Is.
One daughter, Flor de Orc

become Mr.. Castro's.
But he, his family and his
friends got rich and fat off the
It's unlikely Gen.
Trujillo's fat cats will yield con-
troll to some other outside, re-
form force without a struggle.
So there may be bloody days.
II they triumph and set up
another tyranny without broad
reforms, it will be only a mat
ter Of time before they, too, are
smashed. The sweep toward a
richer life for Latin Americans
is too strong for standstill re-
action.
The real struggle eventually
in the Dominican Republic will
be between communism and
this country. Meaning: The
influence this country can
bring to bear through economic
aid and support for a reform
government.
At this point it's impossible
to say on which side the odds
lie. 1t depends on how far the
American Government is willing
to go to keep communism out
Of the hemisphere.
Ripe for Invasion
The Kennedy administration
insists it will not intervene in
another nations affairs but did
just the opposite in backing the
Cuban invasion.
The area in and around the
Dominican Republic is getting
ripe for explosion. Sharing the
same island with it is Haiti.
where living conditions and ig-
norance are APPALLING.
And right across the narrow
strip of water, called the Wind
ward Passage, is the Cuba of
Mr.. Castro, who back in 1949
took part in an invasion against
Gen. Trujillo. The Dominican
dictator demolished it.
But Mr.. Castro now is in
better position for invasion and
Subversion than he was in 1949
when he was simply a discon-
tented nobody. If he is truly
communism's assigned instru-
ment in the Caribbean, he will
move against the Haiti-Domini-
can island.

Elected President In 1880
His long and powerful sway
began in 1880. He was elected
President that year after he
had been promoted to brigadier

army.
Soon after Inauguration Gen
Trujillo was given extraordi-
nary powers to cope with a
hurricane that took 1000 lives
and devastated Santo Domingo

Trujillo in 1886. He never
surrendered that power and in
