New Dominican Junta Gives Harsh Penalties
United Press International
The New Dominican military civilian junta, trying to restore order in the perennially troubled Caribbean nation, decreed harsh penalties on strikers today.
Radio Caribe announced a decree providing that private employees who take part in political strikes and public employees who try to "sabotage normal operations" may be fined up to $1,000 and jailed for six months.
ANTI-GOVERNMENT STRIKES called by opposition politicians have been a major source of the often anti-American violence which has occurred almost daily in the Dominican Republic in recent weeks.
Private reports reaching New York said troops and police killed at least four persons yesterday in scattered clashes with supporters of the opposition's latest walkout. At least five were killed and 20 injured in fighting Tuesday.
THE RADIO REPORT announced also that known Communists have been barred from the Dominican Republic. Any transportation company which brings a known Red to that country may be fined up to $5,000.
The provisions of the new decree presumably will be applied to strikers who fail to return to work today.
Laotian Princes Meet in Geneva
Right-wing Prince Boun Oum, Communist Prince Souphanouvong and neutralist Prince Souvanna Phouma met with co-chairmen Malcolm MacDonald of Britian and Georgi Pushkin of Russia to discuss what a western spokesman termed "international aspects of the Laos question."
GENEVA — (UPI) The three rival Laotian princes met the cochairmen of the 14-nation Laos conference today in their first get-to-together since their arrival in Geneva earlier this week.
THE SPOKESMAN'S insistence that the three princes did not intend to discuss formation of a coalition government under Souvanna Phouma — the main question which has been holding up agreement between them — appeared to give little hope that the conference would be successful.
But informed sources said MacDonald and Fushkin hoped to steer the conversation around to the question of a cabinet and control of the key ministries of defenses and the interior.
After the meeting with the cochairmen, the princes were scheduled to attend a reception to meet representatives of 14 nations attending the Laos conference here.
ON ARRIVAL AT the Palace of Nations, none of the three princes would comment on the negotiations.

The junta imposed censorship on all means of communication and decreed fines up to $1,000 for violators.
From New York, the inter-American press association appealed to the Dominican regime to end press censorship "so freedom of information may be immediately restored."
The New Dominican Junta was formed Tuesday night after a palace coup apparently engineered by armed forces secretary Gen. Pedro Rodriguez Echavarria. It followed a day of wild rioting by opposition demonstrators who demanded the immediate resignation of President Joaquin Balaguer, a holdover from the old Trujillist regime, and the ouster of Echavarria himself. The demonstrators charged Balaguer was trying to perpetuate himself in office despite his promise to resign soon.
IAPA PRESIDENT Andrew Heiskell made the plea "for the good name of the Junta and of the country which is supposed to have abolished 32 years of tyranny."
Named as president of the Junta, which ousted Balaguer and four other members of the council of state, was Huberto Bogaer, But Gen. Echavarria appeared to be the behind-the-scenes strongman.
BOGAERT TOLD THE nation in a radio address last night that the Junta was installed to foil an "international conspiracy" aimed at making the Dominican Republic another Cuba. Chief effect of the palace coup was to eliminate the big opposition national civil union from its majority position on the recently formed council of state.
U. S. officials in Washington said the United States has not recognized the Junta "because it came to power by unconstitutional means." They said large-scale U.S. economic aid which had been promised to the Dominican Republic may be withheld as a result of the change of government.
The State Department described the installation of the Junta as a "step backward."
If the United States withholds recognition from the new regime, it would be a stronger step than any it took against the government of assassinated ex-President Rafael L. Trujillo, which was never denied recognition even when U.S. diplomatic relations were broken off.
A bill calling for $11,695,114 for operation and construction expenses at KU for the coming fiscal year was introduced in the state Senate yesterday.
The amount is included in a $65-$54,927 appropriations bill for operation and construction in all state-supported schools.
THE $11.6 MILLION is the extent of actual state funds which will go to the University. KU itself, through student tuition, fees and dormitory payments, will earn approximately $12 million more total the $23.8 million it will use next fiscal year.
KU Construction Operations Bill Given to Senate
A breakdown of the state appropriations figure of $11.6 million shows the University is receiving:
$ 725,000 for replacement of Blake Hall.
- Funds for faculty salaries.
- A four per cent increase in faculty salaries.
Also included in the bill is a provision which would permit the University to use parking fees to establish traffic control measures on the campus. This was a project Chancellor W. Clarke Wescoe announced in his address to the student body at the first of this semester.
ORIGINALLY, the state budget director and the governor had recommended that funds for this project not be allocated.
Commenting on the appropriations bill, Raymond Nichols, executive secretary of the University, said:
Auto Wrecking & Junk New & Used Parts and Tires
"I think the University has been treated pretty well. The only regret I have is that faculty salary increases could not have been five per cent instead of four. We were justified in asking for that increase."

Goldwater blasts radicals in top U.S. jobs
"The real danger to our nation," says Barry Goldwater, "comes from the leftists in our midst." And he charges that radicals hold 37 key jobs in Washington. In this week's Saturday Evening Post, Sen. Goldwater rips into left-wing extremists, and tells why their ideas play "right into the hands of the Kremlin."
