HE’S LEGAL NOW— Richard Gors, 17, and his mother, Mrs. Elizabeth Gors, are shown in
the Civic Center in Chicago, where Judge Fred Slater ruled that Richard need not get a
haircut. Richard’s father had filed a petition asking the court to order Mrs. Gors to get
the lad’s hair trimmed, maybe up to where he can see out.

Ex-President
Juan Bosch
lives In Fear
By TOIL NEWSOM
I; PI Foreign News Analyst
Behind a machinegun and
sandbag barricade, former
Dominican President Juan
Bosch lives in fear he will be
assassinated before the June 1
elections by which he hopes to
return to power.
Giving some point to these
fears, in Santo Domingo last
weekend a Bosch bodyguard
died from a bullet fired into the
back of his head from a
passing automobile only 50
yards from Bosch’s home.
The fact that eyewitnesses
identified his assailant as a
man wearing a police major’s
uniform further intensified the
atmosphere of fear and hate
i which Is the story of the
Dominican Republic.
, Officially, the campaign for
i the June elections opened on
j March 1. And it was coinciden
tal that at the moment the
Bosch bodyguard died, suppor
ters of another former pres
ident, Joaquin Balaguer, were
holding a rally in his behalf
nearby.
Paratroops Stop Battle
As the outraged fellows of the
slain bodyguard fanned out to
seek his slayer, they clashed
with police assigned to the
Balaguer rally.
tr.S. paratroops ended the
fighting by pulling their ve
hicles between, the warring
factions.
Bosch, 56, and Balaguer, 58,
are regarded as the two
principal candidates for the
June elections. Bosch has made
no secret of his resentment
against U.S. intervention. Bala
guer says he will seek U.S.
cooperation and aid.
To quell violence and a string
j of revolutions, U.S. Marines
occupied the Dominican Repub
I lie for eight years beginning in
; 1916. And It was an almost
Identical situation in which
other U.S. forces found them
. selves in mid-March, more than
[ 10 months after re-entering the
, Dominican Republic in April
11965.
1 In the Intervening months, an
! Increasingly active left has
I displayed the Communist em
j blem and destroyed the Ameri
, can flag. In the last month
more than a dozen Americans
have been wounded.
Short Term of Office
In December, 1962, Bosch
won election as the Dominican
Republic’s first freely elected
president in more than 30
years.
He had spent 26 years in
politial exile and was of the
non-Communist, left-of-center
stripe favored by the United
States in recent years as a
’ counter-balance between the
extreme right Latin American
dictatorships and the Fidel
Castros of the Communist
mold.
He fell to a right-wing
military coup seven months
after taking office.
In April of last year a
combined military and civilian
revolt attempted to restore him
to office.
Fearful of Communist in
fluence, the United States
moved In.
The record supports neither
Bosch nor Balaguer.
Bosch proved ineffective eith
er as a curb against Commu
nism or as an administrator.
Balaguer served as a mouth-
1 piece president in the latter
stages of the dictatorship of
Generalissimo Trujillo.
Bosch fears the army would
not permit him to take office
even if he won, and hints his
party might boycott the elec
tion.
But the United States is
committed to free elections on
, June 1 and is spending more
than $100 million to make it
possible

US Conditioned
To Long Asia War
By LYLE WILSON
United Press International
Suspicion is warranted at this
time that the American people
are being conditioned for a long
war In Southeast Asia with tens
of thousands of casualties.
Careful reading of war news
reveals repeated references to
administration plans for a war
of three to seven years
duration. These references
sometimes are accompanied by
estimates of likely casualties.
These are unofficial esti
mates, of course. These face
less, perhaps irresponsible sour
ces of vital news have
suggested that losses would be
in the area of 400-to-500 killed
each month and 15,000 wound

—36 months—this would add up

President Johnson and
administration spokesmen have
been warning of a long war.
a Feb. 26 news conference
Washington, Johnson said:
“We will have a long
road. It’s not going to be
and it’s not going to be
and it is going to be
and it is going to
sacrifices. We want everyone
know that.”
At about the same
officials in Saigon were
much more specific. The
York Times’ Seymour
reported from there under
Feb. 25 date how senior U.S.
and South Vietnamese officials
were viewing the war.
These officials told Topping
that they bad a go-ahead,
presumably from Washington,
for a war program. They were
planning for a three to seven
years war. They estimated
American casualties would
average 400-to-500 dead each
month and 15,000 wounded.
Topping wrote that officials
were more concerned about the
American public’s reaction to a
bloody, mostly, prolonged war
than they were concerned about
any of the promems confronting
them in South Viet Nam.
If the American officials In
Saigon had a go-ahead to plan
for a three-to-seven years war
with tens of thousands of
American casualties, it must be
assumed the President had
approved of these plans before
his Feb. 26 news conference.
LBJ’s choice evidently is to
leak the bad news to the
Wed., March 9, 1966
American public rather than to
shock the nation with a bold
statement of what must be
expected. White House Press
Secretary Bill D. Moyers Is an
advocate and skilled practition
er of the news leak technique.

It is reasonable to suspect the
officials in Saigon were ordered
to leak the long war news.
They would not have dared to
blab the truth without some
encouragement from Washing
