SummaryResumen

The *Evening Star* reported that Dominican Minister Pastoriza dismissed reports of border violence as exaggerated, claiming that political enemies of Presidents Vincent and Trujillo were seeking to create tension. In contrast, a spokesman for visiting Haitian Cabinet Minister Léger stated that Dominican police opened fire on a crowd of 1,300 to 1,400 Haitian refugees during unannounced expulsions from Dominican territory. Léger traveled to Washington to confer with President Roosevelt and Acting Secretary of State Welles, while his spokesman denied rumors of domestic unrest against President Vincent.
