MAX FREEDMAN

SANTO DOMINGO, Do
minican Republic-President
Juan Bosch said to me that
he had not been given a
government to rule, It was
more like a city that had
been destroyed by an earth
quake.
For over 80 years the
people of the Dominican Re-
public had been in bondage
to the TruJillo dictatorship.
The tyranny had been cruel
and greedy. 1t fed on fear
and washed in blood.
But its worst crime was
not its brutality.
A nation can survive COR
ruption and oppression, but
its spirit may break when a
tyrant for many stricken
years attacks a peoples self
respect and curses its dignity.
For worse than the stolen
treasure and the broken
structure Of government and
the impoverished land was
the lack of trust among the
Dominicans themselves.
They had suffered so many
spies and informers, had
been betrayed by so many
false leaders, that they might
easily have WINGED away from
the challenge of building a
free nation on the ruins of
a dictatorship. A sense of
nationhood had to be restored
before the nation could re-
vive.
That was President Bosch's
first task and most urgent
duty. Before he could become
a successful leader he had to
be q great teacher. He had to
teach the Dominicans that
democracy could be their SER
want just as Trujillo had been
their master.
The lesson has taken root.
After 26 years of exile Mr..
Bosch, chosen as President
of the Dominican Republic
with an invulnerable ma
jority, has begun a task quiz
vering with difficulties whose
end no one can see.
President Bosch has no IL
lusions about the size of that
task. He thinks it will take
Is years to finish the work
of reform and redemption.
But he has already made the
brave beginning.
At five in the morning he
comes to his office and he
stays at his desk 16 hours a
day. He smiles at the sug-
gestion that he should give
more duties to other officials.
Where are these trusted and
trained people to be found?
The problems in themselves
are serious, but still more
serious is the shortage Of

Economic stagnation - not
segregationist sentiments the
greatest threat to the progress
Of American Negroes, according
to Gunnar Myrdal.
The Swed dish sociologist,
author Of the classic study of
the United States race problem
called THE American Dilem-
ma" gave a generally opti-
mistic forecast of future Negro
white relationships during an
interview yesterday.
Mr.. Myrdal was in Washing
ton to address the World Food
Congress.
He told reporters the "Ne-
groes' progress toward justice
and equality has been proceed
ing at an accelerating rate" in
the 20 years since he first ex-
amined the situation. Contin-
ued advances toward the still
distant goal Of a color blind
America" are inevitable, he
said, unless economic stagna-
ton" overtakes the United
States.
Showdown Main Peril
"The big danger I see," Mr..
Myrdal remarked, 'is that you
may become satisfied with the
exceedingly slow economic pace
you have had In recent years.
AT the rate you have beer
going, it might mean one
fifth Of the Negroes would be
unemployed. But I can't believe
Americans are going to let
that happen"
Mr.. Myrdal said the current
wave of protest demonstration
by Negroes were practicable
and may well have a healthy
effect.

u. S. Concerned at Rise
In Cuba Ship SoiIings

were under Greek registry. And
the Greeks and British, COM
bined, accounted for Just over
half Of the 100000 total ton
mage Of all Of the Cuban ship
ping.
United States officials admit
they have been more success
full with the Greeks than with
the British government in call
ing a halt to chartering Of ships
to the Soviet bloc. The Greek
government recently has issued
a Royal Hellenic decree forbid
ding all such future charters.
But the British government
has steadfastly maintained that
any attempt to tamper official
lly with British shipowners
would be a violation OF tradi-
tional freedom Of the seas.
Observers here also suspect
that several Greek shipowners
engaged in the Cuban trade
have now transferred their
registry TO the Lebanese. who
also have refused 10 ban their
ships from Soviet charter.
Below Pre- Crisis Total
State Department officials
note that even the known total
for the first five months Of
this year is well below the num-
Der OF Western ships that went
10 Cuba before the missiles
crisis last october.
For instance, In June, July
and August. 1862. 100 Western
ships called at Cuban ports.
These officials also believe
that q number Of the ships ar
irving there during April--the
peak month so far this year

United States officials are
cycling with concern the steady
climb in the number Of nom
Soviet bloc ships going to Cuba
during the first four months
of this year.
Figures released by the
Maritime Administration show
there were SO trips In April
alone, compared TO only IL in
January. The total for all four
months was 95.
State Department officials
do not discount the possibility
that the May total may exceed
the April figure. But because
of the time lag In information
gathering, the most recent fig
ures show only 10 ship arrivals
in Cuba for May.
According 10 the official fig
ures, that makes q grand total
of li3 known trips by 90 nom
Soviet bloc ships through May
81 Of this year.
Under an executive order In
February, all these ships are
blackballed from carryine
United States financed cargoes
from United States ports.
British Ships Lead
British ships account by far
for the largest part Of the
total. Sixteen OF the 36 April
arrivals In Cuban ports were
British. Thirty-three Of the 0.
ships involved for the whole
period were British. Thirteer
Of these 80 British ships vert
tankers carrying precious oil
10 the Cubans.

Chances Dim
For District
Impact Aid

Chances appeared dim to-
day for including the District of
Columbia in the Federal inn
pacted areas school aid pro-
gram.
Representative Dent, chair
man Of a House Education and
Labor subcommittee, said he
could not lin good conscience
recommend this city" be in
cluded.
At a final hearing Of the
subcommittee on impacted aid,
several cher committeeman
also questioned taking in the
District.
President Kennedy has rec
commended that the District be
included in the program which
provides aid to areas affected
by Federal activities. The
Maryland and Virginia suburbs
Of Washington receive about
SIC million a year. but the
District, which would receive
some 81 million, has been ex-
cluded from the program since
1t was started in 1850.
The major objection to in
GLIDING the District is that the
city receives a Federal contri-
button for general operations.
Witnesses asking that the Dis
trict be taken into the impacted
area program have claimed the
$50 million the District gets for
general operations is far too
small.

tees on District Affairs" Mr.
