Latin Troops To Aid US In Dominican Republic
Latin American countries privately estimate they may contribute 1000 to 2000 troops to an inter American Peace force in the Dominican Republic. Some hopes exist for small token units to arrive by this weekend but substantial organization and time are needed to form a hemisphere force under U.S. command. A token withdrawal of some of the 22,000 U.S. troops could occur early, a possibility discussed last week and shelved as premature but not ruled out.
