Alleged Dominican Revolution Denied
Recd. 7 p.m. New York, Aug. 3 Senor J. A. Bonille Atiles, secretary of the Dominican Revindication Association, which consists of political exiles in New York, asserted today that the seven missing war planes reported to be ready to take off from the United States to support an alleged revolutionary movement against the Dominican Republic, actually belonged to President Rafael Trujillo and already had landed on his estate near Cuida Trujillo, the Dominican capital. Senor Atiles also denied that thiee vessels with revolutionaries aboard had left Cuba and that exiles plotted an invasion. He asserted that the entire story was an invention by President Trujillo and the Dominican Ambassador to Washington, Senor Julio Ortego Frier. (An earlier message from New York said: Watch is being kept at Florida airfields and at fifteen points of departure for the Caribbean and Latin America for seven privatelyowned fighter planes which have been reported as ready to leave for a "foreign country,” but they have not been located).
