'Adventures of
Dominican Republic
To be Big Headache
By JAMES MARLOW
Associated Press News Analyst
WASHINGTON W — The coun-
try’s problem with the Domini-
can Republic is just beginning.
The assassination of Dictator Ra-
fael Leonidas Trujillo did not
solve anything.
The 69-year-old Trujillo, after
31 years of tyranny, had outlived
his particular time.
The middle class had risen
against him. Exiles had invaded
him. The Catholic Church had de-
nounced him. And1 all Latin-
American nations had broken re-
lations with him.
He survived as long as he did
on sheer muscle at a time when
social revolutions were sweeping
not only Latin America but the
world. What outdated him was
this:
While all around him the mus-
es of Latin American were de-
manding greater gratification of
their desire for a better life, and
a better part in it, he kept his
so-called republic frozen in the
old ways.
Fidel Castro in Cuba is no less
a dictator, with the same con-
tempt for democratic processes.
But, beside Trujillo, he looks ex-
tremely modern with his prom-
ises of a richer life and a sense
of belonging for the Cuban mass-
es.
The United States misunder-
stood this and learned to its dis-
may, through the disaster of the
April invasion, that many Cubans
promised better living, support
Castro without apparent concern
whether he’s left or right.
It’s an old lesson being re-
learned painfully around the
world: Democracy to people who
never really had it means noth-
ing. What they want, is to live
longer better.

Trujillo had some glimmering
of the true nature of this wave of
discontent which is sweeping over
the dispossessed of Latin Ameri-
ca. Like Castro, he pacified the
peasants by parceling out land to
them. They were docile.
Yet, the farmers scratched out
a bare existence. The slum dwell-
ers were ragged.
He parceled out little else. He
lived in the past. In the end his
berserk tyranny — mass arrests,
persecutions, executions, repres-
sions—was too excessive, became
his undoing as it may become
Castro’s.
But he, his family and his
friends got rich and fat off the
republic. It’s unlikely Trujillo’s
fat cats will yield control to some
dther outside, reform force with-
out a struggle. So there may be
bloody days.
If they triumph and set up an-
other tyranny without broad re-
forms, it will be only a matter
of time before they too are smash-
ed. The sweep toward* a richer
life for Latin Americans is not
too strong for standstill reaction.
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,
It depends on how far the Amer-
ican government is willing to go
to keep communism out of the
hemisphere.
The Kennedy administration in-
sists it will not intervene in an-
other nation’s affairs—which must
sound to the Communists like
nice nellyism—but did just the
opposite iii backing the Cuban in-
vasion.
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 ignor-
ance are appalling.
And right across a narrow strip
of water, called the Windward
Passage, is the Cuba of Castro
who back in 1949 took part in an
invasion against Trujillo. The Do-
minican dictator demolished it.
But Castro now is in better po
sition for invasion and subversion
than he was in 1949 when he was
simply a discontented nobody. If
he is truly communism’s assign-
ed instrument in the Caribbean,
he will move against the Haiti-
Dominican island.
No matter how you look at it,
this is going to be rough.

Teacher Ends
Long Career
By BOB THOMAS
AP Movie-TV Writer
HOLLYWOOD (ff) — Most fa-
mous of the hundreds retiring
from teaching this month is Dr.
Frank Baxter, who refused to pull
a tea cozy over his bald head
and fade away like Mr. Chips.
The only resemblance between
Dr. Baxter and Mr. Chips is that
they were both good teachers.
But Dr. Baxter is no ivy-covered
pedant. A man of infinite jest like
York, he has carried his zest
for knowledge across the land
through the medium of television.
For 31 years, Dr. Baxter’s Eng-
lish classes have been one of the
notable assets of the University
of Southern California. In 1953,
he enlarged his classroom for
“Shakespeare on TV,” a pioneer-
ing venture for the new medium.
Since then, his tv lectures have
garnered a harvest of awards,
including seven Emmies.
Now 65, he is retiring from
USC. All that remains of his aca-
demic career is correcting a set
of final papers.
‘No, I’m not sorry to be quit-
ting,” he said. “Afer all, I’ve
been at this teaching game for
41 years. That’s a long time. I’ll
be happy not to have to get up
early and fight the freeway traf-
fic from South Pasadena three
times a week. I won’t miss: cor-
recting papers; undergraduate
prose is not the most uplifting in
the world.
“Oh, I’ll miss certain things.
Mainly, it’s the students. All of
us in the teaching profession are
vampires feeding on the blood of
the young.”
His future schedule sounds ath-
letic. He has lined up lectures all
over the country, starting this
summer in Hawaii. He will start
a 15-minute radio series on sub-
jects of his choosing for Westing-
house, which has been seeking
him for two years. He will tape
introductions for “An Age of
Kings,” the British-made series
of Shakespeare’s chronicles which
will appear on tv throughout the
nation. He may continue narrat-
ing the Bell Telephone science
hours.
“I feel fit,” he commented on
the heavy schedule. “In some
ways I feel like a man! of 20,
though the legs tell me different-
ly.”

Matador Tests
Are Completed
CAPE CANAERAL, Fla. ®
—The Matador test and training
program has ended after 10 years
with the successful firing of four
of the swept-wirig guided missiles.
The rockets blasted off at three-
hour intervals, raising to 286 the
number of Matadors fired here
since the first shot into the sky
June 30, 1951.
The missiles were launched by
Air Force troops training with
the Tactical Air Command’s
4504th Missile Training1 Wing, Or-
lando Air Force Base, Fla. The
troops will be assigned to Mata-
dor sites overseas.
The Matador was the first mis-
sile to reach operation status-
in 1954—at Cape Canaveral. Mat-
ador divisions are deployed in
West Germany, South Korea and
Formosa. But technology as ov-
ertaken the 39-loot 600-mile-range
weapon, and it soon will be re-
placed overseas by the larger,
longer-range Mace.

Please Yourself/ Actress
Says Bar to Tension
By HAL BOYLE
NEW YORK m — Sophia Loren
has a two-word recipe for avoid-
ing nervous tension:
“Please yourself.”
The onetime waif of Naples in
less than a decade worked her
way up from modeling to become
one of the world’s busiest as well
as most beautiful actresses.
Sophia took me to lunch the
other day during a break in the
task of dubbing in English dia-
logue for her 30th film.
“I have the philosophy of a
peasant,” she said. “Take it easy
—everything is going to be all
right.”
Lunching with Miss Loren is
more of a treat then going to
see her in a movie.
Sophia showed up in a pink
sheath dress. Her enormous green
eyes, flecked with gold, gave her
a strange look—as if she were
half-panther, half-gazelle.
Gazing out a 48th floor window
at all the new buildings rising
in mid-Manhattan she exclaimed:
“It must get tired—holding up
so many, many tall buildings.
Aren’t you afraid some day it will
all sink?”
Waiters fluttered up cooing
solicitously in several languages.
“I love to eat,” said Sophia.
“It’s my only pleasure while
working. I like any food that is
spicy and full of sauce.”
Chattering charmingly, she
went from an aperitif through a
small plate of sliced tongue and
ham, a dish of kidney stew, po-
tatoes and vegetables, two glass-
es of red wine, two bread rolls,
then wound up with a big slice
of cake topped with whipped
cream.
She is a tall girl with a lot of
lovely body to fuel, and so far
she doesn’t have to worry about
gaining weight. It’s a real pleas-
ure to eat with a woman like
that—particularly if you go as a
guest. ■
“There are some people who
add up their calories as they
eat,” she murmured. “I prefer to
add up the number of dishes.’
Sophia doesn’t feel that success
has changed her much since the
childhood days when she felt her-
self to be a thin and gawky ugly
duckling. She is poised, friendly,
and completely seif-possessed.
“I’m very strong. I have al-
ways tried to keep myself as
naive and innocent as possible,”
she said.
“But I like to work hard, and
don’t believe in drifting. I never
liked to be taken by the routine
of life—or to become tense and
nervous.
“It is a hard thing to do, but
I try to look at things in a re-
laxed way.
“I think you get tense only by
doing things you don’t really
want to do. So I please myself.
I do only the things that please
and interest me. Why not? When
I get tired, I’ll stop.”
