Trujillo Gian
Abandons Plan to
Set Dictatorship
B7 Robert Berrellex
CIUDAD TRUJILLO, Domini
can Republic UFi — Bowing to a
U.S. show of force and opposition
from young Dominican air force
generals, the Trujillo clan today
appeared to have abandoned an
attempt to set up a new dictator
ship in this Caribbean republic.
President Joaquin Balaguer,
pledged to set the nation on the
road to democracy, extended his
control as 29 top Trujillo officials
slipped out of the country at mid
night aboard a chartered airliner
and flew to Florida.
Two brothers of slain dictator
Rafael Trujillo led the exodus of
the crumbling family dynasty that
ruled the country for 31 years
virtually as a private plantation.
The two — Gen. Hector Tru
jillo, a former president, and Gen.
Jose Arizmendi Trujillo, who had
his own army — went originally
into exile three weeks ago but
returned quietly last week in
what the United States charged
appeared ,to be a desperate at
tempt to seize power.
Gen. Rafael Trujillo Jr., son of
the former dictator who reported
ly was at odds with his uncles,
qurt as Commander-in-Chief of the
armed forces last week when they
came back and sailed away in his
yacht.
Balaguer, himself a former front 1
man for the old dictator, still!
faced the prospect of difficulties !
with strong opposition party ele- '
ments in carrying out his pledge
to bring democracy to the coun
try.
Balaguer won pledges of sup
port from the new leaders of the
armed .forces after warning that
squabbling could lead to “foreign
military intervention”—a clear al
lusion to U.S. warships and Ma
rine Corps air units hovering off
shore.

Three Bandits
Escape with $60,000
From Gary, Ind. Bank
GARY, Ind. W — A banker
was held prinsoner with his wife
and son >12 hours before three
swarthy gunmen escaped in his
car today with about $60,000 loot.
'Robert Welke, 43, whose bank
had already been robbed twice
this year, said the bandits got
into his house by posing as a po
liceman with two prowlers in cus
tody.
Welke told the FBI two of the
men were in handcuffs when they
were brought to the door of his
home. The third man posed as
a policeman, saying he had caught
the pair prowling near the bank
and wanted to see whether Welke
could identify either.
Once inside Welke’s home, the
pair shucked their handcuffs.
Welke was told he and his
family would be killed if he
didn’t cooperate in their plan to
| rob the Glen Park branch of the
j Gnry Trust & Savings Bank,
j The gunmen washed and shaved
j and talked about plans to go to
! Argentina, believing they couldn’t
| be extradited from that country.
Around 8 a.m., Welke’s wife
j and son were tied up and left in
the home.
Welke was forced to open the
night deposit safe. He said the
robbers took only cash.
As they left, the men bound
Welke to a pipe in the bank base
ment with handcuffs used in their
ruse. He broke loose in half an
hour and called the FBI.

11 Men Survive .
54-Hour Ordeal
On Ice Floe
V .
" a - P7 rom Snapp
BARROW UP — Eleven men
late Friday afternoon related
their 54-hour ordeal on a treacher
ous ice floe deep in the heart of
the Arctic Ocean.
The 11 included Dr. Max Brew
er, scientists and permafrost au
thority, his administrative assist
ant, John Schindler, and his pilot,
Lloyd Zimmerman.
Their story with a happy end
ing began Wednesday when they
left Arliss II Ice Island on a
routine flight back to Point Bar
row.
“About 20 minutes out of the
ice island our left wing tank
began to give us trouble,” Brewer
said.
“The motors’ temperature be
gan to drop and only sparks were
coming out of it. But we thought
we would be able to make it to
Barrow,” said Schindler.
But soon after they then turn
ed and headed back to the ice
island. Then they started throw
ing everything out of the plane
to make it lighter when it be
came apparent that they weren’t
going to make it—everything ex
cept the survival gear and a pack
age of dirty laundry.
But according to pilot Zim
merman it was not enough.
They strapped themselves in and
used the laundry to cushion them
selves for the crash.
Amazingly, the landing was as
smooth as silk.
“I have had rougher landings
than that at Chicago and New
York,” Schindler said.
As the plane came to a halt on
the floating ice, Zimmerman said,
“well, let’s start making camp.”
At first the men got as far
away from the plane as they could
until they were sure it wasn’t
going to catch fire or explode.
Then they stripped it of every
thing they could use.
“We threw out the survival gear
and started housekeeping,” Brew
er said.
From their gear they pitched a
pair of two man tents. They had
four sleeping bags for 11 per
sons and one Coleman stove which
they put in one of the tents.
They put down one sleeping
bag and used another on top of
five men in each tent.
One person kept watch while
the others slept.
*We didn’t know the thickness
of the ice and were afraid it might
crack at any minute,” Zimmer
man explained.
Later Brewer and two Eskimos,
Leffingwell Ericlook and Riley
rSikbayugak, drilled a hole in the
ice. It was approximately 20 to
30 inches thick.
“It was then we didn’t have
much to worry about,” Brewer
said.

Shoplifters' Dilemma
SELF-SERVICE stores through
out the country report losses
approximately one per cent of
profits due to shoplifting, ac
cbrding to a recent survey
conducted by Monroe-Sweda
Cash Register Co. Many super
markets discourage pilferage
by reducing height of cash
register and removing high
displays around check-out
counters. With check-out clerks
exposed, fewer shoplifters take
the risk of being observed.
