Santo Domingo Zone Occupied
.V.Z.P A -Reuter —Copt/rlpht?
SANTO DOMINGO, Oct. 26.
United States and Latin American troops were occupying former rebel positions in Santo Domingo today as an uneasy truce continued in the quarrel between the provisional Government and Army chiefs.
The Government and the Army were involved in a split during the week-end over how to disarm rebel civilians who fought in the four-month civil war last spring. More than 1500 troops of
the Inter-American Peace Force backed by 27 tanks occupied the former rebel zone yesterday. Diplomatic sources said they moved in to keep the Dominican Army out, although the move had been approved both by the provisional Government and the Army itself. The sources said that a three-man mission of the Organisation of American States, which originally negotiated the formation of the provisional Government when the civil war ended, was trying hard to solve the crisis. But they said that President Garcia-Godoy and his Cabinet were standing firm on the position that either the Armed Forces chiefs are dismissed or the Cabinet resigned.
