tained in Gen. Trujillo’s call

Monday to the congress of his

island nation, in the Caribbean

11,100 miles east of Guatemala,

for power to declare war against

any country “aiding or protect

ing” revolutionary forces intend

ing to invade the republic.

Guatemala and Cuba were ac

cused of assisting exiled Domin

ican conspirators. Mr. Arevalo

denied this, as the Cuban foreign

office did Tuesday.

A dispatch from Ciudad Tru

jillo, the Dominican capital, said

a joint House-Senate committee

continued its consideration of the

president’s message. A commit

tee spokesman said the Foreign

Ministry was asked “for fuller in

formation on all attempts against

the Dominican Republic prepared

at Cayo Confltes (Cuba),” where

an expeditionary force was broken

up by Cuban authorities last

year.

A United States Air Force pilot

told a Guatemala newsman yes

terday that United States planes

operating in the Caribbean have

been buzzed in recent weeks off

the Dominican coasts by Domin

ican fighters evidently checking

on the identification of the planes.

Modern turkeys mature in seven

months although a couple of gen

erations ago nine months were

required.
