SummaryResumen

The *Indianapolis Times* reported that Joseph E. Davies received a $480,000 fee after appealing to his friend President Roosevelt to suspend payments on Dominican bonds held by U.S. citizens. During a honeymoon voyage aboard the yacht *Hussar*, Davies anchored off Santo Domingo, where President Trujillo visited the ship and expressed interest in acquiring one. The column added that Trujillo's relative by marriage, Luis De Lafuente, was commissioned as a Dominican army lieutenant after fleeing a New York indictment for the murder of exiled opponent Sergio Bencosme.

public. Also important, Davies is

an old friend of President Roose

velt, knew him when the latter

was assistant naval secretary and

Davies was a member of the Fed

eral Trade Commission.

Some time ago, President Tru

jillo wanted to extend the sus

pension of payments on Do

minican bonds held by United

States citizens. Since the bonds

are guaranteed by Dominican

customs and since Roosevelt ap

points the collector of customs,

Joe Davies went to his old friend

in the White House.

The bond payments were sus

pended. Joe’s fee in payment was

the neat sum of $480,000.

About this time he and his first

wife were divorced and he mar

ried Mrs. Hutton, with whom he

went on a honeymoon trip on her

million-dollar yacht Hussar, built

in Germany. En route they

anchored off Santo Domingo.

President Trujillo came aboard,

inspected the vessel, said that he

thought he would buy one, too.

Note—A relative of Trujillo’s by

marriage, Luis De Lanfuente, has

been indicted by a New York

grand jury for the murder of

Sergio Benscombe, a Dominican

exile from Trujillo’s wrath. Lan

fuente returned to Santo Domin

go after the indictment, and al

though lacking military training,

immediately was made a lieuten

ant in the army.

PINT dresses of unique de

sign seem to be the fad among

Washington society leaders.

Mrs. Roosevelt has come out with

a print dress featuring the letters

“PAX,” while the conservative

Mrs. Robert Imbrie has blossomed

forth in a brown and white print

featuring the merry-go-round.
