"This is really a very demo

cratic country," said Mr. Lee,

one-time resident of Washing

ton. “One of the former presi

dents, Gen. Paul Magloire,

stopped his car once and helped

me change a flat tire.”

Gen. Magloire walked out on

the presidency of Haiti a few

rs ago. reportedly with more

than S2O million, and now lives

contentedly in New York. He

was one of the few Haitian

presidents who left his job un

assisted and still in one piece.

Loneliest of all the Americans

here, perhaps, are the officers

and men of the Military Ad

visory Group. Not only do they

no longer have their wives and

children with them, but they

no longer have a real job to

do. They used to train Hai

tian pilots, troops and Coast

'Guardsmen, but their actual

work ended when President Du

i'valier locked all the munitions

i in the basement of the pajace

and decided to go it without

1 American aid.

These men have big, hand

some mountainside homes for

SIOO up to $225 a month and

as many as three servants for

about S2O a month each. But

the homes are like mausole

ums without the women and

children. Several officers have

/given up their places and

I moved in with the Marine who

rents the former home of un

derground leader Clement Bar

bot, Duvalier's implacable en-

J emy.
