The United States is enforc-
ing a new and tougher policy
against Latin American re-
gimes which seize power By
Unconstitutional means.
Shocked at the overthrow OF
elected governments in the
Dominican Republic and in
Honduras recently, officials
said yesterday it has become
necessary to tighten the rules
on resumption Of diplomatic
relations or financial assistance
in such cases.
A requirement has been
added to conditions for rec
ognition:
The illegal regime must show
positive signs it is clearing the
way for prompt and full return
of representative governments
There is no practical way the
details Of such conditions can
be spelled out. one official said.
But anyone can tell whether
q regime is planning early
elections and embracing con-
stitutional procedures"
The first indication that the
policy is in effect came when
a United States diplomat in the
Dominican Republic told the
military-backed de facto gov
eminent there it was not doing
enough to permit the United
States to resume diplomatic
relations and economic aid.
No hemisphere government
has recognized the Dominican
civilian triumvirate which took
over September Is after the
military ousted Juan Bosch,
first elected president in more
than 80 years.
Military leaders are running
the government in Honduras
after overthrowing elected
President Ramon Villeda Mo-
rales and blocking an october
Is election to choose his sue
cesSor.
A United States diplomat,
the Dominican regime claimed.
had suggested the civilian
triumvirate step down and turn
over the government to the
president Of the Dominican
Senate.
The accusation was denied
here.
Ward p. Allen acting head
Of the United States delegation
to the Organization Of Ameri-
can States, said the diplomat
merely reported that Washing
ton has received Q request from
Senate President Juan Casas-
novas Garrido that he be rec
ognized as provisional presi-
dent. The United States. Mr..
Allen said, thus is confronted
with two conflicting claims
to sovereignty in the Domin-
lean Republic"
United States officials say
that to obtain recognition and
financial aid, the Dominican
regime must do better than
promise Assembly elections in
about IL months.
AS it now stands, the Domin-
lean government will not be
recognized, they add.

Postmaster General John
Gronouski wants the powerful
postal employe unions to take
an active interest" in national
political issues.
Mr.. Gronouski said that 1t is
equally important" for postal
empioye unions to take active
part in national political and
economic" issues as it is for
them to look after the welfare
Of their members and in foster
ing the efficiency Of the postal
service.
Specifically, Mr.. Gronouski,
who came here from Wisconsin
with a reputation as a skilled
politician, urges the unions to
take an active part in the cur
rent legislative battles on civil
rights and Federal tax cuts.
Mr.. Gronouski called for
support for the Kennedy ad-
ministration's civil rights bill
and its bill to reduce Federal
income taxes. He said the tax
cut bill should be enacted with
out any requirement that it be
accompanied by drastic limita-
tions in spending, as advocated
by oppon snts of the bill in its
present form.
The PING declared that pos
tai employees are directly in
volved. "as citizens" in the leg
islative battles now going on
over tax cuts and civil rights,
since failure to enact them
would be a flow to this coun-
try's economic and social pro-
gress.
Mr.. Gronouski's statement
made in a speech before the
National Alliance of Postal
Employees. has caused a consi-
derable stir among postal en-
ploye union leaders. Postal
unions are strongly organized
representing an estimated 95
per cent Of the $4,000 postal
workers.

Unemployment Insurance For State Employees Is Termed a "Must"

JUNEAU R - Legislation to provide unemployment insurance coverage for state employees is a must" this session, Rep. Morgan Reed said Tuesday.
 Reed, who is ranking minority member on the House Finance Committee, said that state en- ployes need the same protection as employees in private industry, and insurance to tide them over when they are laid off through no fault of their own.
 Tt has been brought to my at tention that many, many state en- ployes have had a difficult time as there is definite lay off period in various departments of state government in all sections of Alas ka," Reed said.
 Not only do Alaskans who are employed by the state need this protection, but the state needs this program as further incentive to obtain and keep qualified employees.
 "In many categories, we are having hard time recruiting necessary workers"
 Reed said that he had studied the matter carefully since the 1861 session when the same type of legislation was proposed, and that he felt the state could "easily af- ford this protection for our em- ployes."

Navy Considers Keeping Admiral RickOver Even
 After He Reaches Age GA

WASHINGTON R - Ten years ago, the Navy was on the verge of busting Vice Adm. Hyman Rick over. Now it's thinking of keep ing him on after retirement age.
 Rickover. acclaimed as the father of the nuclear-poWered sub marine, will reach that age, 64, next January.
 The Defense Department dis closed Monday that Secretary of the Navy Fred North has the ques- tion of Rickover's future under active consideration"
 No decision has been made, it added, because the admiraPs re- tirement date is still almost year off.
 Annapolis-gradu Rickover al- most got the heave-ho for rocking the boat. By the time he haC reached captain he had stepped on enough Navy toes that his promo tion to admiral was twice passed over, which would have meant retirement. Congressional pressure saved his career Rickover got his star and the Navy got its first nu- clear sub.
 Rickover, in charge of the Navy's reactor program, had a half hour chat with President Kennedy Mon- day about the Polaris program.
 To keep Rickover in uniform, the Navy under present regulations could retire him and then bring him back to active duty.
 It appeared to be better than an outside chance that the Navy would steer this course rather than risk another collision with Rick overs congressional packers.
