SummaryResumen

The Midland Journal reported on upcoming celebrations marking the 450th anniversary of the founding of Santo Domingo, featuring a historic pageant and an address by President Rafael Trujillo. The article noted that the capital was rebuilt along modern lines following a devastating hurricane in 1930 and subsequently renamed Ciudad Trujillo by its citizens despite Trujillo's objections.
