Demonstrators Run Wild in Protest
SANTO DOMINGO — (UPI)—The government clamped a 10-hour nightly curfew on this strife-torn city last night to curb the anti-American mobs which smashed, looted and burned their way through the streets yesterday.
Santo Domingo was tensely calm under the guns of troops and police enforcing the 7 p.m.-to-5 a.m. curfew.
OPPOSITION POLITICIANS were trying to organize a general strike against the junta government, recalling the violence-backed walkout in December which brought the junta to power.
The ostensible motive for the new violence was anger at the government for allowing ex-President Joaquín Balaguer and ex-Gen. Pedro Rodriguez Echavarria to leave the country.
The mobs focused their furry on the United States because Balaguer and Rodriguez flew from here to Puerto Rico.
Screaming rioters shot and wounded three policemen, burned U.S. Ambassador John Bartlow Martin's limousine and two other official American cars and looted the offices of Pan American World Airways.
EMBASSY GUARDS blocked an attempted mob attack on the U.S. visa office, traditional target of anti-American agitators in this tropical capital.
Balaguer and four companions—a brother-in-law, two sisters and a maid—were traveling on 60-day U.S. tourist visas. They are expected eventually to go to Spain.
Rodriguez carried no travel authorization. He was admitted to Puerto Rico on parole pending investigation of his case.
There was no indication that the government would seek to extradite either of the refugees, although Rodriguez had been a military prisoner awaiting trial on charges including murder. No charges were pending against Balaguer.
Police Chief Rafael De Castro was fired yesterday for unspecified reasons and replaced by Belisario Peguero, who had been deputy chief.
Rifles were issued to police battling the mobs yesterday, but so far as was known no rioters were shot. Police depended largely on tear gas
Students Confess Lawrence Burglary
Two KU sophomores signed a statement yesterday confessing to the burglary of a downtown drug store early yesterday morning.
They are Gary Engel and Harold M. Williams, both of Bismarck, N.D. Robert Ebey of Colorado Springs, Colo., a KU student last semester, also signed the statement.
A preliminary hearing in Douglas County Court is set for March 19.
They were arrested shortly after the alleged burglary by Lawrence and KU police and charged with burglary and grand larceny.
Lawrence police said about 1,000 "semt-narcotic" pills were taken. Police also said several cartons of cigarettes, a box of cigars, several lighters and several wrist watches were taken.
and noise bombs to deal with the outbreak.
RIOTERS ARMED WITH pistols, iron clubs and stones smashed shop windows and looted political offices in downtown Santo Domingo.
Some rioters massed outside the Dominican "White House" to shout anti-government slogans, while others staged noisy disorders outside the justice Ministry, blocking a hearing in the case of Rafael Bueno, an 18-year-old "professional agitator" held on criminal charges.
In addition to Martin's limousine, which was parked near the visa office, the cars wrecked and burned by the mobs were those of Passport Chief Matt Ortwein and an embassy station wagon.
Gas Explosion Kills 30 Germans
HEESSEN, Germany—(UPI) —A methane gas explosion set off by dynamite blasts ripped through the Sachsen coal pit today, killing 30 miners and injuring eight in West Germany's second mine disaster in five weeks.
The blast came only 25 minutes before the 756 men on the night shift were due to come off the job
Of those killed, 29 died instantly in the explosion. Another was critically injured and died in a hospital. Two of the eight injured were in serious condition.
It took rescue workers less than two hours to bring all the injured and most of the dead to the surface. Some bodies were left underground pending completion of a preliminary investigation.
Dark clouds hung over the pit and there was a steady drizzle during the morning and friends and families of the miners watched the rescue work in this Ruhr Valley town just outside the city of Hamm.

She has been associated with the actors and playwrights of the Irish theater renaissance. Among them are Barry Fitzgerald, Padraic Colum, Denis Johnson, Lennox Robinson, Sean O'Casey, William Butler Yeats, Lady Gregory, St John Ervine and John Syngge.
Ria Mooney, an actress and director at Dublin's famous Abbey Theatre, will talk about the Abbey and her work there at 3 p.m. today in Swarthout Recital Hall.
Miss Mooney worked at the Abbey during the 1940s. She was assigned to experimental work in encouraging new playwrights. It was her job to take the Abbey out of the artistic slump it had fallen into in the 1930s and early 1940s.
In 1926 Miss Mooney created the role of Rosie Redmond in O'Casey's "The Plough and the Stars."
Miss Mooney is currently directing Syngne's "Deidre of the Sorrows" at Kansas City University. Her production of "Deidre" is considered to be the authentic one by theater intelligentsia. It is based on notes by William Butler Yeats.

He also said it is impossible to divide the price because it will present a diversity in feeling among the students. "I want the residents of the three-man rooms to feel they are regular residents of the Hall. Two rates would divide the students into two classes," he said.
Men presently living in residence halls who turn in their contracts for next semester will not be assigned to the triple occupancy rooms next semester unless they request it, Dean Alderson said.

Holloway's light baritone was sometimes overpowered by the orchestra, but he became increasingly stronger as the show went on. He songs beautifully in the haunting trio. "Now, I lips, say good-bye," with Magda and his mother.
IN SCENES where she is more dependent on the sung or spoken word, however, she is convincing. She can bring tears with lines like, "Shall I call the carpenter and the priest? Shall I go to market to buy white roses?" when she learns her baby is dead. And she truly sounds and looks terrified in the weird final scene.
Among the men, David Holloway, Gas City sophomore, convincingly acts John Sorel, Magda's husband and hero of the underground.
Ann Kretzmier, Liberal junior, who plays Magda's mother-in-law, is the most consistently believable and pleasing performer.
SHE IS an indignant old lady when the secret police agents barge in upon her and Magda to question and intimidate them, a loving grandmother when she sings tenderly to Magda's baby in the "Lullaby," and a grief-stricken old woman when she finds the baby dead.
Miss Tebbenkamp's acting is not so fortunate. Frequently, as in her big aria, "To This We've Come," her body movements look careful and planned, her gestures studied and sometimes weak, and she indulges in some meaningless pointing.
"The Consul," Gian Carlo Menotti's music drama, will end its three-performance run tonight at the University Theatre. Curtain time is 8 p.m. Earlier performances were Monday and Wednesday.
Menotti's 'The Consul" Closes Run Tonight

The drama is effective, but confusing in places. Individual performances range from magnificent to mediocre.
Sharon Tebbenkamp, Salisbury, Mo., senior, plays Magda Sorel, the drama's most demanding role. Her singing rings and thrills in a magnificent mezzo-soprano.
Applications for the four officer positions on the SUA Board for 1962- 1963 are now available in the Union Directors office. These applications must be turned back into the office by March 13.

Ed Sooter, Wichita graduate student, plays magician Nika Magadoff, the only comic relief in an otherwise depressing and despairful story. Sooter, whose tenor is the strongest of the show's male voices, was taught some slight-of-hand for the show. He won spontaneous applause with some very amusing hocus-pocus.
Sharon Scoville, Kansas City junior, sings the secretary. Her acting is competent and interesting.
IN THE REMAINING roles the acting is consistently good, but the voices vary from sure to unreliable.
Robert Chambers' lighting and Carolyn Kriesel's costumes are especially effective in the dream sequences. Elsewhere the costumes seem much alike, and even too plush for such poor people.

Miss Woody is delightful as the foreign woman, particularly in the scene with Mr. Kofner in the consul's office where he translates for her. Charles Rogers, Lawrence senior, plays Mr. Kofner.
