Funeral arrangements are in complete. I By ROBERT BERRELLEZ SANTO DOMINGO, Domin ican Republic (AP) Brig. Gen. Antonio Imbert Barreras, president of a civilian-military Junta rivaling "constitu- tionallst" rebels, is the kind of calm sort you- will almost always find where there is trouble. Imbert is busy at the moment with his toughest job since he joined a band of determined young men in a nearly suicidal plot that ended the life and reign of Generalissimo Rafael Leonidas Trujillo four years ago this month.

As president of the new gov ernment Junta, Imbert has emerged from the wings once again in an attempt to bring peace, even if temporary, to this revolt-torn nation. The plump, 5-foot-8 junta leader is not really a general in the military sense. He was giv en the rank for life by the gov ernment in gratitude for helping end the Trujillo dictatorship. His background is that of the well-to-do businessman, de scendant of a prominent Puerto Plata Province family on the Dominican Republic's north coast Born Dec. 3, 1920, Imbert was the third of four children.

Consuelo, Segundo and Alda were the others. His father died when Antonio was 3. His moth er, Dona Consuelo Barreras, twice a widow, is 72. From the start, Imbert was clearly marked for the comfor-l Allied Plan Could Help Metropolis METROPOLIS, 111., May 10 Allied Chemical Co. is develop ing a big new program in nu- celar fuels that ultimately could revive operations here.

So far, however, it can't be determined where the contemplated $1 million pilot plant will be. According to the firm's New York office, the process involved the recovery of fuel values from spent uranium. Specifically men tioned as a base fox the process is the volatility of uranium hex-aflouride. Uranium hexaflouride was produced at Allied's plant here until early this year, when a cutback was announced by the Atomic Energy Commission in an econ omy move by President Lyndon Johnson. Since the time of the economy cutback announcement, the firm's Metropolis operation has cut back a portion of its work force.

At one time, the Metropo lis operation employed some 210 persons. According to the New York an nouncement the project is expected to be sufficiently advanc ed by late 1966 to permit the design and early start of a commercial plant, which includes the allowing of time for evaluation and testing. The program, which was out lined by Allied's president C. M. Brown, is planned for commercial operations by the 1970's.

The chemical processes involved are being developed and were developed solely by Allied and several other firms hired on a consultant basis. In 1959, Allied's Metropolis plant was the only commercial facility in the free world that was using a process based in part on uranium hexaflounde. Also a process involving tluor- ide (which was also produced at the Allied plant here) at the company's plant in Baton Rouge, to be linked with the announced project has been an nounced. The plant manager here, S. F.

Harantha. made an announce ment late Monday afternoon con cerning the $1 million expansion plan of the firm. He said that "at this time no specific site selection for the project has been made. Several sites are under active considera tion by engineers and econom ists." He added that although the Metropolis plant was actively en gaged in the production of uran ium hexaflouride at one time, that fact "does not automatically" mean that the Metropolis plant is the optimum location for all future uranium of Allied He said that while it is possible the Metropolis plant might be used, "it would be premature and speculative to say that the Metropolis works has been firm ly established as the final site for this project" Tobacco Firm President Dies LOUISVILLE (AP) Gracey H.

In the current situation, the rebels are saying he is playing a "dangerous game" by linking up with the loyalist forces. He has other critics who claim he is too ambitious, but when it comes down to singling out the specifics there is silence. Four years alter the assassination of Trujillo, the new junta boss still fears the dictator's henchmen are waiting for re venge.

So, he travels with three-car escort of armed police. Imbert always carries a submachine gun with him. his ability as a public speaker or instructor," the four-star general said. He reminded his commanders tne impressions earned away by men who serve only a single enlistment "contribute materi ally, for better or worse, to the image of the Army among the general public." In February, for example, the Air Force had a recruitment goal of 7,800 men but actually took only 6,431. In January, the Navy sought 10,290 men but recruited only 188.

The most recent Army figure available shows that service hoped for 8,500 new enlistments last November but that only 900 signed up. The Marine Corps figures were not available but the Corps said several months ago that it too, is feeling a drop in enlist ments. The services all cite lagging pay as a mam reason for diffi culty in attracting new men and holding veterans. New Crisis (Continued From Page One) er presidents Jose Figueres of Costa Rica and Romulo Betan- court of Venezuela, and former Gov. Luis Munoz Marin of Puerto Rico was reported to have met with stern opposition within the OAS itself.

In addition, one Latin-American diplomat told The Associated Press the political coalition supporting the Venezuelan gov ernment has objected to Betan- court serving on the mission, Latin Americans here said aside from the rebels' ultima tum, these other developments are creating serious new ten sions: The rebels' rejection of the surrender demand from a new military-civilian junta regime led by Brig.

Ta- pley Bennett, Jr. U.S. ambassa dor to the Dominican Republic, to the OAS peace commission that rebel forces are not hon oring the cease-fire. Bennett charged the rebels with three sniper violations in the safety zone itself. Hemisphere diplomats said one of the most serious aspects of the situation is the possibility that U.S.

armed forces might feel compelled to use the howitzers, which could easily cover the entire rebel area, if sniper attacks continue. The OAS refused Saturday to oust Bonilla, when only five countries voted for a plan to withdraw his voting power, and allow him and the rebels repre sentative, Antonio Rosario, to attend sessions as observers, The United States made clear Monday it intends to withhold recognition of any regime in the Dominican Republic until the OAS has made greater progress toward restoring peace. State Department officials said also the United States would support a high-level OAS mission to help guide the country. But Latin Americans said the plan probably was doomed from the start because of national jealousies, dislike in some coun tries for the political beliefs of the three Caribbean leaders, and the fact that no leading cit izen from the southern part of south America was mentioned for a place on the commission.

All right you Army drill sergeants, no more telling rookies it's the biankety-biank left foot you start off on and it's the-cen- sored Army they're in now, not Mama's kitchen.

All you knucklehead, shiftless ex-GIs who sweated through basic training to the tender words of a considerate platoon corporal, should be advised things have changed. The Army's No. 1 soldier- Chief of Staff Gen. Harold K. Johnson fears continued use of off-color language is going to harm the Army image.

Incomprehensible as it may be to you old-timers, the man even seems to be suggesting soft-talking drill sergeants! Johnson has circulated an or der that in effect tells his instructors to clean up their lan guage; I.e.: "I do not believe that we need blink at or condone those in stances where the impropriety of the actions of our leaders and instructors can be interpreted clearly as offensive to many of the individuals who are subordinate to them." Johnson commented also that during a training demonstration he witnessed, the soldier-dem onstrators used offensive lan guage. So, if you remember crawling under that barbed wire with the live machinegun fire some 24 inches over your head, from now on it not going to be "keep that brainless, skin head down."

Four persons were hurt, none seriously. The driver, James Manning of Murray, discovered he had no brakes when he was about half a block from the intresection of highway 641 and Chestnut Street.

With two cars ahead of him, he decided to miss them and try to get across the intersection. He swerved to the right across a service station apron. He continued across the inter section, narrowly missing other traffic, into another service station, the Noble Farris Oil Co. The truck smashed the front of the building, then rebounded and finally came to rest near the fuel pumps. Mr.

and Mrs. Farris, Mrs. Nell Gore and Mrs. Margaret Britton were hit by flying glass, but Klaiismen Welcomed As Heroes ANNISTON, Ala. (AP)-Three Ku Klux Klansmen charged with the murder of a white civil rights worker received a hero's welcome when they appeared at a Klan rally and parade in this northeast Alabama city.

The trio Eugene Thomas, 43; William Orville Eaton, 42, and Collie Leroy Wilkins 21, all of the Birmingham area drew a standing ovation when they were introduced by Impe- nal Wizard Robert M. Shelton Sunday. Thomas, Eaton and Wilkins are charged with the March 25 slaying of Mrs. Viola Lluzzo, a Detroit housewife who was shot to death on U.S. 80 near Lowndesboro while shuttling civil rights workers from Mont gomery to Selma after a civil nghts march.

Wilkins' trial for the slaying ended in a mistrial when a jury of 12 white men deadlocked 10-2 for conviction on a manslaugh ter charge.

HOFFMAN WASHINGTON (AP) The Navy appealed Monday to sail ors and officers, whose service is about up, to stay on board as a personal contribution to meeting the present challenge" in South Viet Nam and the Do minican Republic. Secretary of the Navy Paul Nitze sent a message to "aU hands," saying: "An extension, even if only of three to six months, could be your way of helping to meet our national objectives." Nitze stressed "the need for experienced officers and men to carry out our assigned missions effectively and efficiently in a combat environment" The Navy appeal, the first of its kind made by any of the armed services since the Viet Nam crisis began nearly four years ago, reflects concern over a drain in experienced manpow er. This drain, complicated by a fall-off in enlistments and the lure of better pay in industry, is felt by the other services as well. Last week, the Defense De partment called for the drafting of 17,000 men for the Army in June the highest monthly draft quota in 20 months.

The Army is the only service currently using the draft. Navy sources said one nag ging problem has developed from trained men leaving the 7th Fleet in the South China Sea when their enlistments or tours of duty expire. If enough officers and men heed Nitze's appeal, and ship over for at least another six months, this situation can be cured with replacement ships coming on station, Navy spokes men say. The Navy's problem has been aggravated by its new commit ment off the Dominican Republic where more than 10,000 men have been on station in about 32 ships. The number of men with the 7th Fleet off Southeast Asia is kept secret, but probably runs well above the total in the Car ibbean force.

Last month, Nitze asked for volunteers to fill a limited num ber of jobs ashore in South Viet Nam. More than 14,000 Navy people answered that appeal. Navy officials said they are barred from talking about num bers of men who, it Is hoped, will voluntarily extend their service. The services all have had dif ficulty recruiting men, particu larly in the past year when there have been persistent rumors that the draft may be end ed. This Is considered highly unlikely to happen, at least forj many years.
