SummaryResumen

The *Daily Alaska Empire* reported that several New York creditors, including Louis Sherry, Cartier, Annin Flag Company, and an art gallery, sought payment from General Rafael Trujillo for services and goods provided during the previous year's World's Fair reception. Although creditors hired a lawyer and dispatched a U.S. Marshal to his hotel, Trujillo was shielded from legal action because he held diplomatic immunity as an Ambassador Extraordinary. As a result, creditors were unable to collect the debts or seize his yacht *Ramfis*, docked at the Washington Navy Yard.

El *Daily Alaska Empire* informó que diversos acreedores neoyorquinos, entre ellos Louis Sherry, Cartier, la Annin Flag Company y una galería de arte, procuraban el cobro de deudas al general Rafael Trujillo por concepto de bienes y atenciones brindados durante la recepción de la Feria Mundial del año anterior. Si bien los acreedores contrataron a un letrado y comisionaron a un alguacil federal (U.S. Marshal) a su hotel, Trujillo quedó a salvo de acciones judiciales en virtud de su inmunidad diplomática como embajador extraordinario. Por consiguiente, los demandantes no pudieron cobrar los créditos ni embargar su yate *Ramfis*, atracado en el Astillero Naval de Washington.

Louis Sherry, restaurateur, who set

the table with food and drink foi

the Dominican reception at the

World’s Fair last year. Anothei

was International Art Gallery

which sold the Dominicans an ole

bust of Columbus, who landed ir

the Dominican Republic in 1492

Two other creditors are Cartier

New York jewelers, and the An

nin Flag Company, which preparec

Dominican flags.

When Trujillo came to New Yom

last week, the creditors though!

they had their man. But he movec

on to Wasrington. They hired s

j lawyer, and he sent the U. S

Marshal to the Shoreham.

The hitch came over the fact

I that the dictator is now an ''Am

bassador." He came to this coun

try partly for medical treatment

and financial agreement betweer

U. S. and the Dominican Republic

partly to sign a new commercial

and he is cloaked with the tem

porary title of Ambassador.

Thus the creditors are frustrat

ed. They can't even touch the

General’s yacht “Ramfis,” docked

at the Washington Navy Yard.

NOTE—Trujillo sreputation in this

country has risen recently because

of his statesmanlike act of welcom

i ing European refugees to the Dom

inican Republic, but in spite of

statesmanship, the creditors want

their qjpney.
