ent William L. Ryan reported
from Port au Prince that the
consensus there was that Dr.
Duvalier would survive to start
a second presidential term de
spite opposition vows to de
stroy him by tomorrow.
Dr. Duvalier’s first six-year

Port au Prince into the country

that Mr. Barbot had gone into

Mr. Barbot, a master of ter

assassinate Dr. Duvalier by to
morrow. Circulars were dis

several weeks ago threatening

tomorrow.

that, repugnant as the Du

they cannot interfere in Haiti's
internal affairs.
American warships remained
on emergency stations oft Port
au Prince to evacuate Ameri
cans from Haiti should it be
come necessary. The State
