SPECULATION MOUNTS OVER FATE OF CAAMANO
Speculation continues to mount over the disappearance of the Dominican leftist leader Col. Francisco Caamafio Defio, who was last seen in The Hague October 24.
Juan Bosch, former president of the Dominican Republic, now living in exile in Spain, implied that Caamafio may have gone into hiding. However, such assurances do not appear to have allayed the fears of Caamafio's wife, Maria.
Asked about Caamafio on December 3 in Miami, where he is in exile, the ultrarightist Gen. Elias Wessin y Wessin refused to comment.
It was reported that the sinister former henchman of the Trujillo regime recently met with Gen. Imbert Barreras, head of the junta that was put into power by the Johnson administration after American troops invaded the island to put down a popular uprising that appeared to have every chance of succeeding.
Rumors have repeatedly been reported that the generals are plotting another coup d'état in the unhappy island republic which is listed by Washington as a "client" state.
