Gangster Tells Story
WASHINGTON — (UFI) — Underworld turncoat Joseph Valachi gave senate investigators a $2\%$ hour run-down to day on operations of the dread nationwide criminal syndicate Cosa Nesta.
The stocky, crew-cut Valachi, who will tell his story publicly tomorrow, was under tight security guard against any possible underworld attempt on his life for violating gangland's code of secrecy.
ONE MEMBER of the Senate Investigations Committee said the former mobster-murderer appeared perfectly cooperative. His disclosures were made behind closed doors in the senate caucus room. The area was heavily guarded by capital police and federal marshals.
The man who provided what the Justice Department called an intelligence breakthrough about Cosa Nostra seemed calm and unafraid as he walked in and out of the hearing room.
When the session ended, Valachi and Chief U.S. Marshal James P. McShane entered the men's room. Valachi emerged a few minutes later, puffing on a cigarette, and was whisked away to the District of Columbia jail where he is being held.
A REPORTER asked Valachi how he felt and how the morning's session went.
Sen. Edmund Muskie, D-Maine, a subcommittee member, said Valachi was perfectly cooperative in describing his former underworld connections.
Muskie said Valachi spoke in a kind of code which required frequent interruptions to make sure what he meant. He said, for example, that Valachi said family when he meant gang and used other gangland terms which were unfamiliar to the senators.
IN DEFERENCE to the gongland offer for his death, Valachi was flanked by U.S. marshals when he arrived at the caucus room.
A capitol hill stenographer, one of a small group of spectators awaiting Valachi's arrival, exclaimed: Why, he's not big enough even to say hello to.
AFTER VALACHI entered the caucus room through a roped-off corridor, two capital policemen took stations at the doorway.
Valachi will testify publicly for the first time tomorrow.
TRAVEL ADVENTURE SERIES
The special security precautions, rivaling those afforded a President, were taken to insure the safety of Valachi, who violated a blood oath to turn informer.

U.S. Fears Return of Dictatorship After Overthrow of Dominican Govt.
WASHINGTON — (UPI) — U.S. officials expressed fear today an echo of the Trujillo dictatorship might be taking hold again in the Dominican Republic.
The State Department has suspended all US aid and diplomatic relations with the Caribbean country until it becomes clear what kind of government is set up by military leaders who yesterday overthrew President Juan Bosch.
US Ambassador John B. Martin in Santo Domingo has been given the difficult assignment of finding out the military group's intentions without formally establishing diplomatic contact.
Martin is expected to remain in Dominican capital for a time to make this assessment and then to return to Washington for policy talks
THE STATE DEPARTMENT ordered the US aid mission in the Dominican Republic to halt all bursements and to conduct no business. However, it will remain in the country.
A small US Peace Corps contingent will carry on its activities on the ground that it is more for the people than for the government.
US officials privately expressed concern that the Dominican Republic might be undergoing a return to Trujilloism without the Trujillos.
Generalissimo Rafael Trujillo, who ruled the country with an iron hand for 30 years, was assassinated in 1961, and members of his family later went into exile.
THE MILITARY LEADERS who ousted Bosch have denied any Trujillo connections. But some officials here believe most of the Dominican military was so much a part of Trujillo's regime that it would be hard to separate them.
US officials were disappointed with Bosch. the country's first freely elected president in 31 years.
The Dominican defense minister, Maj. Gen. Victor Vinas Roman, who apparently commanded the coup against Eosch, is regarded as largely owing his position to the Trujillos.
