(UP) The Government of the Do

minican Republic has decreed

three days of official mourning for

the death of Plinio Pina Chevalier,

uncle of General Hector B. Truji

llo, President of the Republic.

Minister Counselor to the Domini

can Embassy in Washington, and a

former cabinet minister, died at

St. Luke’s hospital, New York, of

a heart ailment.

An uncle also of Generalissimo

Rafael Leondias Trujillo, Domini

can strong man, he was credited

with introducing his nephew into

politics prior to Trujillo’s taking

up a military career with the U. S.

Marines during the American oc

cupation of Santo Domingo.

His body will be taken to San

Cristobal, Dominican Republic,

where he was born.

He is survived by his widow, Se

iiora Hercilia Pina Chevalier.

A message received at the Colon

ial Office said a medical officer and

other Britons from the Antarctic

base at Hope Bay, Graham Land,

had set off to the aid of the Ar

gentines following receipt of a call

for help.

An Argentine officer in charge

of a survey party operating 13

miles south of Hope Bay had ra

dioed for assistance following a

glacier accident in which one of

his men had fractured his back,

the message said. The Argentine

party had also lost three dogs, a

sled and much of their equipment.

The Colonial office said it did

not know whether the mercy mis

sion had been successful. The base

at Hope Bay, which has a garrison

of 12 Britons, was established in

1945 for meteorological surveying.

For Liberty, Culture and

Hemispheric Solidarity
