SummaryResumen

The *Evening Star* reported that Rafael Trujillo announced his retirement to his country estate and was named head of the Dominican delegation to the United Nations General Assembly. Observers viewed the reshuffle—which included reports that President Héctor Trujillo would take an ambassadorship in Europe—as a maneuver to ease inter-American pressure regarding the assassination attempt against Venezuelan President Rómulo Betancourt.

Los observadores interpretaron estos cambios —que incluían informaciones de que el presidente Héctor Trujillo asumiría una embajada en Europa— como una maniobra para atenuar la presión interamericana derivada del atentado contra el presidente venezolano Rómulo Betancourt.
