‘T know you hate being called

of a cowboy named Reginald Van
Bustard?”

End of Trujillo Regime May
Improve U. S. Relations .
By STANFORD BRADSHAW
Associated Press Staff
WASHINGTON—The end of the
31-year regime of Generalissimo
Rafael Leonidas Trujillo of the
Dominican Republic may free the
United States of a millstone in its
inter-American relations.
It also could help the United
States in its campaign to induce
inter-American measures that
could cause the overthrow of Prime
Minister Fidel Castro’s regime in
Cuba.
But Trujillo’s assassination nev
ertheless, poses grave problems
for the United States, as well as
for the other nations of the hemi
sphere.
The first question to be an
swered is who will succeed him.
A Dominican radio station, Ra
dio Caribe, announced a decree or
dering nine days of mourning. The
radio said it was signed by Presi
dent Joaquin Balaguer. This would
indicate that power in the Domin
ican Republic is continuing in the
hands of elements aligned with
Trujillo. Balaguer became presi
dent last Adgust and has been
closely identified with Trujillo.
Other fragmentary reports ar
riving from travelers who have
just left the Dominican Republic
indicate the Dominican army is in
control.
ARMY, WHAT IS AGGIELAND TO YOU?
Aggieland means many different things to many
different people. To some it is the place they met their
lifetime friends and received their formal education,
to others it is the place they learned how to be a man
and to get along with their fellow man.
Although Aggieland may have a special meaning
for each Aggie, all have memories of yelling for that
Fightin’ Aggie Team as we beat T. U. or of singing The
Twelfth Man when we didn’t yell loud enough.
Army, when we go home after these finals let’s
throw our chests out and tell the world that we are proud
to be a Fightin’ Texas Aggie. Let’s keep alive the
heritage left to us by our buddies we’ve honored with
Silver Taps who are no longer able to share it with us.

Whether the army would step
aside for a return to civilian con
trol by elements which opposed
Trujillo is not known.
The elements could include: The
middle class, which grew under
Trujillo, but hated the iron hand
with which he ruled the island. In
January 1960, he uncovered a plot
against him and jailed over 2,000
persons.
Castro sympathisers and Com
munists, who also hated the iron
hand, although Trujillo this year
had been playing up to both, prais
ing Castro’s achievements on his
Radio Caribe and making gestures
toward the Soviet Union.
Exiles, who have their own
movement in the United States and
Puerto Rico, and include members
of the middle class and Castro
sympathizers.
Trujillo, who came to power in
1930, in the wake of U. S. Marine
occupation of the island, had al
ways sought to identify himself
closely with the United States and
represent himself as a friend.
His embrace was embarrassing
for the United States, in its deal
ing with liberal elements in the
Americas who hated dictatorships
but it was not until recently that
there was a complete dissociation.
Last August, at the conference
of foreign ministers of the Organ
ization of American States at San
Jose, Costa Rica, the United
States took the lead in acting on
a Venezuelan move to impose sanc
tions on Trujillo as a "threat the
peace of the hemisphere.”
An OAS investigating team had
found evidence linking Trujillo to
the June attempt to assassinate
Venezuelan President Romulo Bet
ancourt. The conference voted to
have all OAS members break dip
lomatic relations.
This ostricism by the inter-
American community, the decline
in income from the principal ex
port Cropland a continuing battle
with the Roman Catholic Church,
all may have been factors in the
explosion.

“Put on your toupee. We’re
about ready to shoot.”
“So what if someone did acci
dentally give you a black eye in
that last barroom brawl ? Iff
only make the scene more real
istic.”
“I know cows make you nerv
ous, but in this shot we simply
have to put in a few. After all,
you’re supposed to be riding herd.”
“Oh, no! Oh, no! Don’t tell me
the guy’s gone and put his chaps
on backward again.”
“Now don’t panic, Con, but your
stand-in is sick and couldn’t show
up. I’m afraid you’ll have to ride
the horse yourself today. But
it’ll be okay. We’ll help you get
on and off.”
“Just walk up this step ladder
slow and easy, put one leg over
the saddle and—oops, he’s fallen
again.”
“I don’t know who the fastest
gun in the West is, but I sure
know who’s the slowest.”
“In the next scene, just as you
are about to kiss the heroine, the
horse sticks his head between you,
and you kiss him square on the
muzzle. So what if it isn’t sani
tary ? It’ll wow the audience.”
“All right, Hamlet, get out of
that velvet dressing gown and
climb into your Levis. We’ve got
a job to to.”
“As I understand it, Con, the
real old-timers gripped the gun in
one hand, not two, and generally
they didn’t shut their eyes when
they pulled the trigger. And, by
the way, do you have to hold it
like it was a pineapple?”
“But I tell you we have to put
a little dirt on your face. After
all, you’re supposed to have beer,
riding hard all day.”
“Your valet is late. Do you sup
pose, just this once, you could ge J
into that cowboy suit all by your
self?”
“Don’t grimace when the bar
tender slides the bottle down the
bar to you. Remember, it’s really
only ginger ale.”
“Well, if it makes you fell any
safei’, Con, we’ll let you ride side
saddle—and pretend you’re only
doing it as a lark.”
“Stop the camera, Jake, he’s be
ginning to fall again. Whoa, boy,
whoa!”
