S. and other foreign civilians from the excesses of a revolt that had taken hundreds of Dominican lives. U. S. troops were in control all the way from San Isidro Airbase east of Santo Domingo to the “zone of refuge" in the embassy district on the west. The way was open to relief shipments of food and medicines. Some staple foods such as bread, flour and beans already had been distributed to Dominican civilians who dared to venture out of their homes Monday for the first time in days.

The Congress has by a recent law reopened the National Service Life Insurance program to certain veterans for a period of one year beginning May 1, 1965. Generally speaking, to be eligible for this insurance: 1. You must have had service between 1940 and 1957; 2. You must have a serviceconnected disability whether or not you now receive compensa-

tion;

3. If you do not have a service disability, you must have a nonservice disability so severe that you cannot obtain insurance from private insurance companies; 4. You cannot, however, carry in all more than S10.000 of veterans GI insurance. This insurance is very much like the GI insurance which was available in the past, except that (1) no TERM insurance is now available; (2i the premium will be based on your present age; (3) the cost of administering the program (42 cents a month for any size policy) is part of the premium. In this connection, W. M. Hurst, Putnam County Service Officer, states that those who qualify and wish to make application for the insurance should contact the Veterans Affairs office in the court house. He will do everything to help fill out the forms and explain more in detail the program. Hurst says there are a limited number of veterans in the county, not having enough GI insurance, who should be able to qualify.

SAIGON CPI —- Twelve U. S. Navy planes today destroyed a Nort Vietnamese train believed to be carrying ammunition bound for Communist guerrillas in South Viet Nam. Returning pilots said 20 boxcars exploded, sending smoke and flames as high as 3,000 feet into the air. Two locomotives also were destroyed. The planes from the aircraft carrier Midway in the South China Sea bombed the train about 120 miles south of Hanoi, the North Vietnamese capital. A military spokesman said all of the planes were “safe and accounted for,” indicating that some may have landed in South Viet Nam because of mechanical trouble instead of returning to the carrier. No anti - aircraft fire or enemy planes were encountered, the spokesman said. In South Viet Nam. U. S.
