Duvalier Secures Second Term In Haiti Inauguration
In Port au Prince Francois Duvalier was sworn in for a second presidential term amid signs Haiti faces near bankruptcy. Security blocked opponents, and Duvalier told about 50,000 peasants the nation needs quick money for a recovery. He rejected Communist aid and noted loss of U S aid totaling about 60 million since 1957 as debt rose and coffee exports fell. Tourism has also halted amid the crisis.
