INTELLIGENCE MEMORANDUM
Situation in the Dominican Republic
(As of EDT)
1. The US Ambassador has requested that Admiral
Masterson make a ship available today for some 300
evacuees now crowding the lobby of the Hotel Embajador.
The Ambassador is also anxious that a ship be pro-
vided for at least 175 evacuees from La Romana (site
of a US-owned sugar mill).
2. Student demonstrations against the US land-
ings in the Dominican Republic have erupted in Vene-
zuela, Chile, Panama, and Argentina, according to
the press. In Caracas some 100 leftist students
threw bottles of blue ink and acid at the US Embassy;
in Santiago a mob of similar size stoned the US
Embassy; the demonstrations in Panama City and Buenos
Aires were more restrained. Larger scale and more
violent leftist activities of this kind are to be
expected in many Latin American countries in conjunction
with today's May Day celebrations.
