TRUILLO BOOSTS FOREIGN CREDIT Dominican Republic Reports Treasury Surplus and Greater Prosperity. BY the Assoclated Press. CIUDAD TRUJILLO, Dominican Republic, March 5.—Reporting a sur- plus in the treasury and increasing prosperity in the Dominican Republic, President Rafael L. Trujillo, this an- clent island’s strong man, outlined to- day a program for better commercial relations and credit in foreign markets. This 45-year-old chief executive, once a telegraph operator in his native town of San Cristobal, made known his plans in one of his rare state- ments. Pointing with pride to a total sur- plus of more than half a million dol- lars at the close of the 1936 budget, Trufillo said the economic and scien- tific development in the republic the last five years had been achieved with the aid of “firmly established peace and order, and an honest and well- meaning administration.” Trujillo, who became the republic’s youngest president at the age of 38 in 1930, and was re-elected for four years in 1934, declared a floating debt which existed when he took office had been reduced 58 per cent. Launched Works Program. Directing a program of reconstruc- tion of the old city of Santo Domingo— all but destroyed in a hurricane that Kkilled 2,000 persons and caused mil- lions of dollars in property damage 18 days after he took office—Trujillo re- named it “Cludad Trujillo” and launched a broad program of public ‘works. “A modern' network of first-class roads covering 1,442 kilometers (900 miles) and reaching every section of the country has been completed and is maintained in perfect condition,” he said. “Steel bridges solidly constructed make these roads equal to the best in Europe or America. “All of this, I am proud to say, has been achieved in the midst of the most adverse circumstances, and Wwithout loans or any other form of assistance. “Special attention has been given to the economic development of our coun= try, to well conducted agricultural campaigns, the building of irrigation canals, the distribution of land for farming. A total of 252,250 acres of government land has been allotted to 54,494 poor farmers, who in addi- tion receive financial assistance and farming impliments to begin their work.” @ = & New Schools Founded. ‘Trujillo said much of his program had been devoted tq “culture of the mind” with establishment of new schools and training of people in man- agement of farms. Asserting he had succeeded in clos- ing the government budgets for five consecutive years with a surplus, | Trujillo said establishment of peace and order and confidence in the gov- ernment, “as is fitting in a real democ- racy, has been one of my chief aims.” He pleaded the cause of peace and said his proposal for a league or asso- ciation of American nations, pre- sented at the recent Buenos Aires Con- ference, would further such a course. “At the present time, I am giving all possible attention to the improve- ment of our commercial relations,” said the President.

May Collect Unearned Leave Of Dead Employe vernment can reach into the grave to collect for unearned annual leave that a Government employe has taken at time of death. This principle is laid down in a de- cision to the Civil Service Commission by Acting Controller General Elliott in THE EVENING STAR, WASHINGTON, D. C, took full leave last year, but died be- fore completing the 12 months' service in which it would have been earned. Holding that in such cases the leave must be prorated, Elliott approved a proposal to deduct from the retirement pay an amount sufficient to reimburse the Government for nine days’ excess leave. Elliott pointed out that the regula- tions covering unearned annual leave are different from those for unearned sick leave. Under the latter, death or involuntary separation—except for cause—cancels the employe’s obliga= NASHVILLE BANKER BECOMES PUBLISHER Davis Says No Changes Are Con- change is contemplated in either per- sonnel or policies.
