On Invasion Of Haiti

been shuffled out of Haiti for
exile training through the
Dominican Embassy.
But even the Haitian dele
gate, who had requested the
GAS meeting, stopped short of
requesting GAS action. And in
his reply, Dominican Ambas-
Sador Arturo Calventi said the
Haitian charges were com
pletely unfounded." that the
Dominican Republic is abiding
strictly by the hemisphere
principle of non-intervention,
and that the invasion had been
consequence Of the dictatorial
nature of the Duvalier regime.
Like A Charade
The performance on all sides
had the earmarks Of an Oft
repeated charade. 1t took the
council exactly. four minutes
of open debate-after an hour
of private talk in an upstairs
conference room-to approve
unanimously the resolution
turning the dispute over to the
fact-finding commission.
To a great extent, the at
titude in the GAS reflects a
similar outlook in the United
States State Department. Of
ficials admit that they have al
most no first-hand information
about how the northern inva-
sion is proceeding-if it is pro-
ceeding.
The United States Embassy
in Haiti, which has been whit
tied down to a skeleton staff
to show displeasure with the
Duvalier regime, has no on-the-
spot representatives In the Cap
Haitian area. Since telephone
communications in Haiti broke
down years ago, contact is re-
duced to radio talks with the
estimated 125 American resi-
dents of the area.
But no one in Washington
seems to be able to discover
whether any fighting actually
has taken place and whether
government or rebel forces have
suffered any casualties. Yes

law Of Gen. Leon Contave,

conference yesterday he had
had the Senate Republican
Policy Committee staff poll the
administrative assistants of AZ
Senators. He said the staff
found 20 whose mail favored
ratification, IA whose mail OPP
posed it and eight evenly di-
vided.
He said he had the survey
made because of news stories
saying White House mail was
"lopsidedly" in favor Of the
treaty. Senator Dirksen had
delayed taking any stand on
ratification.
Among 80 Republicans, Sena-
tor Dirksen said the mail was
IA to IL favorable to the treaty,
with six reporting q standoff.
Among Democrats, he said the
mail Of six favored the treaty,
that Of two was opposed and
that Of two evenly divided.
The Republican leader said
reaction ranged from 12-to-1
support Of the treaty in a
Democrats mail to 9-to-1
against in one Republicans
mail. He declined TO identify
any Of the Senators involved
or to give their geographical
location.
Another Senator said, how
ever, that most of the opposi-
ton mail was coming from
the Midwest and Mountain
States.
Senator Dirksen listed three
reasons most commonly cited
in opposition letters: Mistrust
Of Russia because of the So
Wet Unions previous treaty
violations, worry about what
second step" might be taken
in international negotiations
and fear that there were con-
tingent commitments that had
not been disclosed. President
Kennedy has said that no Sc
cret deals were involved.
The Republican leader said
he thinks committee hearings
on the treaty can be concluded
in three weeks. a week longer
than Democratic Leader Mans
. field Of Montana had esti-
mated.
On the other hand, he said
Senate debate might not take
more than four days. Senator
Mansfield had forecast a week
Of talk.
Nixon Sees Approval
In New York, former Vice
President Richard M. Nixon
| predicted last night, on his re-
turn from Europe, that the
Senate would ratify the treaty
But he said 1t should be
thoroughly discussed and de-
bated."
And he added: WED have
holes in our heads to relax our
vigilance now" because Of the
treaty.
Undersecretary Of State w
! Averell Hartman indicated in
! a New York speech to the Over
seas Press Club last night that
he believes the treaty might
help slow the arms race.
Mr.. Hartman, who was CHIEF
United States negotiator for the
treaty, said Soviet Premier
Khrushchev considers the pact
a step toward limiting Russian

there is any threat to the
safety Of the 800 Americans in
the Negro republic. Fleet units
are standing by off the coast
watching what American Off
Gals say is an extremely con-
fused and fluid situation.
However, the obvious strategy
Of the rebels under Gen. Leon
Cantave appears to be to slice
Haiti in two. to cut off the
northern area from the rest of
the country, and then declare
a free government.
A leader Of the exile move
ment behind the invasion of
Northern Haiti said here today
that the rebel tactic is to avoid
big battles in the campaign to
spark a mass uprising in Haiti.
Roger Rigaud, Co ordinator''
of the Haitian National Demo-
cratic Union in the United
States, said I'VE are trying to
form a nucleus around which
to build opposition" to the die
tatorship Of DR.. Francois Du-
Waller.
Would Attract People
"Our aim is to convince
people to our side, not to go
to about bloodshed," he said.
Mr.. Rigaud explained that
the 300 invaders under Gen.
Leon Cantave had been met by
another 200-man force trained
and waiting for them inside
the Haitian border. That 500
man force already has gath
cred 1000 supporters, he said,
but only TOO Of the total force
are armed.
Mr.. Rigaud appealed to the
United States, as we'll as Inter
national organizations" for
material aid to establish democ-
racy in place Of the Duvalier
tyranny in Haiti.
He said the invaders would
not launch a direct frontal at
tack on Cap Haitien, center OF
the north, and the second
largest city in Haiti, with u.s.
900 people. ,.
Our plan is to surround and
isolate the city so that the gar

Officials here are moving in
slow motion over the exile in
vasion of Haiti.
Both inside the United States
Government and in inter-
American diplomatic circles,
the reaction is to bide time
until a clearer picture emerges
of how far the 800 invaders in
Northern Haiti are moving
toward topping the dictator
ship of DR.. Francois Duvalier
Yesterday, after 31a hours
Of wrangling-moSt of it be-
hind closed doors-an emer-
gency session Of the Council of
the Organization Of American
States decided to turn the mat
ter over to the same fact find
ing commission that had op-
Grated in the Haitian-D omini-
can dispute last April and May,
The commission holds its
first session today to decide
whether the current situation
warrants a return visit to the
troubled island Of Hispaniola
which Haiti and the Dominican
Republic share in the Carib-
bean. Member countries OF
the commission are Colombia,
Chile, Ecuador and 81 Saliva
dor. Uruguay has also been
asked to join to replace Bo-
livia, which has withdrawn
from the GAS in protest over
It's river dispute with Chile.
Long Speech
The decision to reactivate
the find commission was
the hemisphere response to
Haitian charges that the cur
rent invasion was launched
from the Dominican Republic
by forces trained there.
During a long speech. which
took up most of the open ses-
sion of the council meeting,
Haitian Ambassador Fern D
Baguidy charged Dominican
President Juan Bosch with try
ing to stir up tensions in Haiti
and turbulence" in the Carib-
bean. He contended that the
invasion showed how Haitian
permission Of diplomatic asy-
lum for refugees was being
violated, since many Of the

HAITI
Rebels Bypass Cap Haitien

Continued from Page Al
at least two or three hundred
Of the Haitian garrison in the
area had gone over to the
invaders soon after the first
attack.
Americans Leave
Department spokesman Rich
ard I. Phillips said that 80
Americans working on the
Dauphin sisal plantation in the
northern border area had now
been evacuated to Cap Haitien,
largest city in the north. They
were shutting down opera
tions," Mr.. Phillips said, on
orders from the Haitien au-
thorities.
Mr.. Phillips conceded that
the only information the United
States is receiving on the situa-
ton in Northern Haiti is from
the Cap Haitien radio. That
radio has announced a curfew
in the area and called the
militia to duty.
The Embassy reports that the
capital, farther to the south,
is "outwardly calm"
Exiles' Story Differs
The diplomats account Of
how the invasion began differed
from that given by Haitian
exiles in Santo Domingo, cap
ital Of the neighboring republic.
Exile spokesman contend the
invasion was launched at Fort
Liberte on the coast 20 miles
north of Ouanaminthe and Is
miles west of the border. Mr..
Theard claimed the invaders
moved into Fort Liberte after
attacking across the border
river at Ouanaminthe.
The Haitian diplomat said
Cap Haitien, second largest city
in Haiti, has not fallen-an
account which agrees with the
exile disclosure that the city
has been bypassed by It's forces
as they move to cut the troubled
country in two.
Mr.. Theard confirmed that
DR.. Duvalier, the voodoo-
practicing President of the Ne
gro republic, has sent air REIN
forcements to his commander
in the north, 1t. Col. Jean Belot.
He added that a larger force Of
reinforcements has left Port au
Prince by sea to join the fight
against the anti-Duvalierists.
He laid the entire blame for
the invasion at the feet Of
Dominican President Juan
Bosch and absolved both the
United States and Venezuela of
participation in the invasion.
Blames Bosch Alone
To-day we want to stress that
this is the second aggression
committed in less than four
months against Haiti by the
Dominican Republic" Mr..
Theard said.
Last May, practically all the
Dominican army was brought
to the Haitian border while
Dominican President Juan
Bosch himself threatend TO in
wade Haiti at any moment. This
new aggression, although It in
wolves fewer armed hands, is
nevertheless more vicious"
Mr.. Theard accused the
Organization Of American
States Of taking an unfair posi-
ton In its investigation Of the
May crisis and charged its last
report actually praised the
Dominicans for removing their
troops from Haiti's borders.
The government of Dr. Du-
Waller, he said. with the full
support Of the Haitian people,
sis taking care Of the invaders. "
