SummaryResumen
The Evening Star reported that federal customs authorities in Baltimore detained the *Patria*, a converted infantry landing craft suspected of involvement in anti-Trujillo activities. An investigation revealed the vessel was manned largely by affluent Dominican exiles and had been acquired by Cuban Cruz Alonso, though a search found no weapons or ammunition. The State Department stated the action enforced strict policy prohibiting the use of United States territory to launch civil strife in foreign nations.
El *Evening Star* informó que la policía aduanera federal destacada en Baltimore aprehendió al *Patria*, un buque de desembarco de infantería modificado sospechoso de involucramiento en actividades conspirativas contra Trujillo. Las pesquisas comprobaron que la dotación estaba formada mayoritariamente por acaudalados desterrados dominicanos y que la nave había sido adquirida por el cubano Cruz Alonso, si bien el registro ocular no arrojó hallazgo de municiones ni fusiles. El Departamento de Estado aclaró que la retención obedecía a la estricta política neutral de proscribir la utilización del suelo estadounidense para fraguar expediciones bélicas contra Estados soberanos.
