The ferocity and resourcefulness of the con- tinuing attacks roused conjecture as to how deeply guerrilla-trained Communists are involved. Left-wing extremists pledged at the tricontinental conference in Havana last month to turn the Dominican Republic into another Viet Nam. One bullet, eyewitnesses said, came within inches of hitting Jaime Coruti of Chile. He was about to board a helicopter near Camp Randall, the largest United States Army base in the city, along with commission members Carlos Dunsheo do Abranches of Brazil and Osvaldo Vallejos of Ecuador. Inspection Tour They planned to fly to the San Isidro air base on an inspection tour. U.S. patrols fanned out imme- diately but were unable to locate the snipers. About 20 persons have been killed and more than two score wounded-including four U.S. par- atroopers, one of them critically- in seven nights of nonstop vio- lence. The Americans have not been identified. The explosive terrorism is part of the activities left-wing extrem- ists are using to enforce a "pa- triotic" general strike that has the backing of left-wing mod- erates, including the Dominican Revolutionary- party and its chief, ex-President Juan Bosch. Brink of Collapse Ostensibly in support of the government, the strike has instead brought the government to the brink of collapse. The week-long work stoppage, concentrated chiefly in Santo Domingo, was originally called to protest police violence that result- ed in the death of three students during a Communist-led demon- stration. In throwing their support be- hind the strike, the moderate and left-wing factions sought to use it to pressure the government into ousting military leaders who had refused to obey a presidential or- der to leave the country. This gave the strike a political texture that makes it illegal. There have been rumors that some of the eight Dominican dele- gates to the Havana conference have returned clandestinely with weapons, instructions and money. The government has forbidden them to come home. I[TDAYri UN EFFORTS OPPOSED: Thant, Church Group Support Viet Nam Peace Negotiations By The Associated Press Diplomatic efforts toward end- ing the war in Viet Nam were sup- ported yesterday by United Na- tions Secretary-General U Thant and the World Council of Church- es. Thant said he shares the views of President Charles de Gaulle on how to bring peace to Viet Nam. He said the objectives should be neutrality, independence and non- interference-points stressed by the French leader. The Soviet Union again voiced opposition to any consideration of , ; , Garment Uni( Federal Wage MIAMI BEACH (MP)-The AFL- CI0 Amalgamated Clothing Work- ers Union officials said yesterday they would seek pay raises nearly double the amount of White House wage guidelines designed to curb! inflation. "They don't worry us," union President Jacob S. Potofsky said of the Johnson administration guidelines that set 3.2 per cent as the maximum for noninfla- tionary wage hikes. But Potofsky said the garment industry is a low-wage industry and that he expected no great administration pressure such as the construction unions claim is being exerted against their wage demands. Administration Inquiry President C. J. Haggerty of the AFL-CIO Building and Construc- tion Trades Department said a high administration spokesman telephoned from Washington to check Into his complaint about federal pressure to hold down con- struction wages. The call reportedly came from Asst. Secretary of Labor James J. Reynolds, chief Labor Department troubleshooter. Haggerty strongly hinted Tues- day that the federal government might be using racial discrimina- tion charges against construction unions as part of the campaign to limit wage increases in the high- wage building industry. Checks Facts Haggerty told newsmen the Washington caller wanted to know if newspaper accounts of his state- ment were accurate. Haggerty said1 he confirmed that they were. Potofsky, in a separate news conference, said his union will start negotiating new national contracts in the cotton garment Guideposts industry in June covering some 125,000 workers. He said wage demands were not yet set, but indicated they would be at least as much as the in- crease of more than 10 cents an hour-about 6 per cent-negotiat- ed a year ago. Hourly Wage Potofsky said workers in his un- ion now average about $1.70 an hour. While Potofsky said the White House wage guidelines had not af- fected his own union much in the past, he felt that in the cases of some other unions "the guidelines were not fair." A major item in the resolution asked the United States to "review and modify its policy of contain- ment of Communism" and sug- gested that Communist nations stop supporting revolutionary wars to relieve international tension. A far-reaching resolution by the council's policy making Central Committee called for peace nego- tiations that would include the Communist Viet Cong guerrillas as representatives of parts of South Viet Nam. It appealed to North Viet Nam to stop its infiltration of, the South to facilitate peace. It called for a place for Ted China "in the world community of nations--the Unit- ed Nations.

Faster Maturity This means that Series E bonds bought on Dec. 1 or afterward will mature in seven years, instead of seven years, nine months. Series H bonds will continue to mature over 10 years but will yield the higher interest rate. Holders of bonds purchased be- fore Dec. 1, however, need not cash them and buy new ones to, benefit from the new rate. As of Dec. 1, their bonds will begin earning the new rate of interest although the maturity date will rld News Roundup remain the same. Savings bond sales have been declining and the redemption of unmatured bonds has increased because of more attractive in- terest rates in alternative invest- ments. Treasury officials expressed hope that the new interest rate will reverse this trend. Banks can pay up to 4 per cent interest on person savings ac- counts and some savings and loan associations pay close to 5 per cent. New Rates Here's how the new program will work : A $100 Series E bond, costing $75, could be redeemed for $100 after seven years. It would be worth $77.28 after one year, $90.40 after two years, $83.84 after three years and $91.44 after five years. A $1,000 Series H bond would cost $1,000 but the semiannual interest payments would be higher than those paid before last Dec. 1. On a new bond, the first payment after six months would be $11, the second payment after one year of the purchase date would be $19.40 followed by 18 semiannual payments of $21.50. Treasury officials said these payments average 4.15 per cent. ssociated Press Triple Thick Shakes.. 22c*' Delicious Hamburgers 15c 2000 W.
