The 29-year-old son of the Do

minican Republic leader told a re

porter Sunday night: “To begin

with, the mutual aid fund agree

ment between the United State*

and the Dominican Republic does

not provide for the transfer of

cash.

“Every cent I have spent came

from my own income. Not a penny

came from the taxpayers of the

United States. Not a penny came

from the taxpayers of the Domi

nican Republic.”

The Dominican Embassy in

Washington said last week the

U.S. government has sent no mon

ey but has sent a limited amount

of military equipment to the Do

minican Republic. The elder Tru

jillo told an interviewer Saturday

ing his own money."

Young Trujillo declined com

ment on reports that he is seeking

a divorce in Mexico.

He came to this country to study

military science at the U.S. Army

Command and General Staff Col

lege, Ft. Leavenworth, Kan. His

wife and five of their six children

accompanied him, but they have

since returned to the Dominican

Republic.
