SummaryResumen
The Evening Star reported that the Dominican government established a domestic munitions factory in San Cristobal to manufacture rifles and machine guns with the assistance of European technical advisers. The Dominican Information Center stated that President Rafael Trujillo initiated domestic arms production after the U.S. State Department denied purchases of American war surplus arms following the 1947 Cayo Confites invasion attempt. Plans called for expanding the factory to produce ammunition, heavy artillery, and aircraft engines.

disclosed yesterday that a muni
