Fighting Flares Up Once More
Four U.S. paratroopers were wounded as heavy fire resumed in Santo Domingo after Gen. Antonio Imbert Barreras rejected a 24 hour cease fire. Rebels fired from a machine gun nest into the U S controlled corridor as mortars and rocket launchers joined the clash. The OAS voted to activate the inter American peacekeeping force and Brazil was named to command. Brazil sent 259 troops to Santo Domingo amid U S warnings of possible force to keep rival factions apart.

It warns against intervention, notes Monroe Doctrine criticisms, and stresses world survival. Then it shifts to a Nebraska Texas flood forecast, detailing heavy rain, floods along the Brazos and Platte rivers, looting警, and evacuations.
