WASHINGTON UP)—The United States expressed fear yesterday that a new military dictatorship has taken over in the Dominican Republic. It weighed withdraw ing U.S. recognition and substan tial economic aid. But U.S. officials said there are no plans to send the American fleet to Dominican waters as was done late last year. Nor is action by the Organization of American States proposed at present, be cause the new Dominican group does not pose a threat to the hemi sphere, they said. The exceptionally sharp and speedy Washington reaction against Tuesday night’s Santo Do mingo government overturn re flected U.S. unhappiness at the setback to laborious efforts to pro mote democracy in the long-des potic Caribbean country. American officials hoped to forestall a permanent takeover by Gen. Pedro Rodriguez Echavarria, the Dominican defense chief whom U.S. authorities see as the strong man behind the power switch. And they wanted to disassociate the United States from any dic tatorship, aspecially with the hem isphere foreign ministers’ meeting on Communist-aligned Cuba com ing up next week. They feel Uncle Sam has had enough of be ing linked, in Latin minds, with the late dictator Rafael L. Tru jillo, who ruled the Dominican Re public for three decades. Spearheading the U.S. effort was a State Department announce ment condemning the new Domin ican ruling group as “apparently a predominantly military junta.” Lubbock, Texas UP) — “Every year it gets harder to get into college,” said 16-year-old James Ward, “and I thought the soon er I could get in the better.” So the youth doubled up on his high school' studies in Tacoma, Wash, finished his junior and sen ior work in a single year and came to enroll at Texas Technological College. Both family precedent and per sonnel experience qualified him for the leap to higher education. He’s the son of Dr. James F. Ward Sr., a Tacoma opthamolo- gist who—after nearly 30 years— remains the youngest student ever to take a master’s degree from the state school here. The elder Ward received the degree in 1932 when he was just 19. James Jr. actually was graduat ed from high school two years ahead of schedule. He also covered two years’ work while a fifth grader. Aside from the competition a- among students seeking admission to college, young Ward thinks it’s a good idea to get there early because you then have “time to experiment and find out where your true interest lies.” He had two reasons for com ing to Lubbock—because his fa ther attended Texas Tech and be cause a grandmother, Mrs. J. E. Ward, makes her home here. The younger than average col lege freshman figures careful use of study time and close concentra tion, coupled with sports and re creation, have contributed most to his achievements. Last year, while taking seven so-called “solids” in high school and at the same time working on three college correspondence courses for high school credit, he found it helpful to work out a system. This meant utilizing not only long periods to study but the short intervals in between classes and other activities. And then, he said, you need “ to put your whole mind on it.” Young Ward likewise works hard at swimming and likes to play tennis.
