Y. Times Nnwi Sirvlit WASHINGTON President Johnson announced last night that he had committed a total of about 14,000 United States troops to the Dominican Republic and said their mission was to protect lives and to "prevent another Communist state in this hemisphere." Johnson said that what began as a "popular democratic revolution" ten days ago had been seized by a "band of Communist conspirators." He therefore appealed to the non-Communist rebels to lay down their arms and urged all the American nations to support him in the defense of "common principles." Televised Address HARRIMAN CLARIFIES US POLICY (BY JUAN DE ON1S) (C) 1965 N. Y. Time! Hows sorvim LIMA, Peru-W. Averell Harriman, President Johnson's roving ambassador, arrived Sunday on a mission to obtain Latin-American support for United States policy In the Dominican Republic.

Harriman began his regional tour Saturday in Colombia, where he met with President Guillermo Leon Valencia. After the meeting, Harriman said "the US wanted "Democratic elections" as the means of restoring political stability in the Dominican Republic. Latin-American public reaction to the dispatch to the strife-torn Dominican Republic of US troops has created probably the most serious crisis in the inter-American system since the' ill-fated Bay of Pigs invasion of Cuba with US support. Condemns Action President Fernando Belaunde Terry, who received Harriman at the Pizarro palace, and both houses of the Peruvian congress have condemned the US military action as a "unilateral intervention" the internal affairs of the Dominican Republic. Harriman, who will proceed from here to Brazil, Argentina and Chile according to present plans, said in Bogota that the presence of US troops and continuing arrivals of new forces was now sanctioned by the Organization of American States, which has sent a five-nation "peace commission" to Santo Domingo.

HAYES 389 Main St. WEST CONCORD, Tel. 617.369.3e03 The President spoke over television from the White House at 10 pm after the administration had made vigorous efforts to obtain a formal hemisphere sanction and Latin-American contributions for its intervention.

US officials were said to have been pressing a five-nation peace committee of the Organization of American States in Santo Domingo for a prompt assessment of the extent o' Communist infiltration and a statement supporting the assignment of still more troops from the US, and, it was hoped, other Latin-American countries. The US was also planning a "massive" shipment of food and other supplies to all parts of the Dominican Republic, an operation that may take its soldiers and Marines away from the capital inte the countryside. But officials hoped that this project, too, will get the approval of the OAS. Johnson reviewed some of the past week's developments in the Dominican Republic and stressed that he had ordered military intervention last Wednesday with great reluctance only after he had been warned that failure to act would risk the lives of US citizens and other foreigners in Santo Domingo. Trained In Cuba "Meanwhile," he said, without giving his sense of the timing of more recent developments, the revolt took a "tragic turn" and fell increasingly under the control of Communist leaders.

He did not name them, but said "many" had been trained in Cuba. The president indicated that this development augmented the purpose of intervention. "We in this hemisphere," he asserted, "must use every resource at our command to prevent establishment of another Cuba."

Parking Ban For Hudson Is Delayed It will be stop-and-go driving for a week more on Ferry st, Hudson, during peak bridge traffic hours. A proposed ordinance to ban parking on both sides of the street from 4 to 6 pm, scheduled to start today, has been delayed for about a week, according to Selectman Frank A. Nutting. He reported delays in securing proper signs and in lining the street made the May 3 starting date of the ordinance impossible.

Bridge Traffic The ordinance is part of a coordinated effort with the city of Nashua to ease the flow of traffic on both sides of the bridge. Elimination of parking on the Hudson side of the bridge will open up an additional lane of traffic. Officials said they hope it will prevent tieups presently caused by motorists turning left into Webster st.

From Grenier Field Sunday Is to at least 15,000 said the buildup was necessary to discourage further violence by the rebel forces.

The size of the rebel forces Page 2 DERRY, N. H. (AP) -Two Marine Corps officers were killed Sunday when a T-28 single engine jet trainer crashed into a wooded hillside and burned just north of the Massachusetts- New Hampshire line. They were Capt. Norman St.

Amand, 27, of Quantico, and Capt. Reedman R. Jensen, 32; of Chicago, both stationed at the Quantico Marine base in Virginia. Witnesses said the jet circled above Derry, then lost altitude, skimmed across Big Island Pond and flipped over. Careening upside down, it cut a 50-yard swath through tall pine trees and then struck the hillside.

The bodies were identified by St. Amand's brother, Clarence of Derry, who said the two Marine captains had flown over his house moments before the crash. Col. Gardner Mills of nearby Grenier Air Force Base in Manchester said the men had flown there Saturday from Quantico, logging flying time, and were headed for Stewart Air Force Base in upstate New York. From there, they were to have returned to Quantico.

The -crash touched off a fire which blackened several acres of woodland owned by Russell F. Dickey, a technician at Joy Manufacturing Claremont. He said he heard a "tremendous explosion which rocked the house." His sons, Russell, 17, and James, 16, said they saw the plane skim the lake and crash. The craft was demolished and wreckage was spread over a large area. Fire fighteis from the air base and the towns of Derry and Salem extinguished the woodland fire in two hours, using water hauled to the hillside in tank tracks.

Barry Case Judge Denies King Bid To Lift Court Injunction City Free of Bank Robberies (BILL MITTEN) With bank holdups almost routine news in our neighbor state of Massachusetts at some periods averaging one or two a week mostly at branch banks Nashua has.always remained free of bank robberies. Nashua Police Chief Paul J. now in his 36th year with the local force, said today that none has occurred in his long period of service. And he added that within his knowledge, prior to becoming a policeman, he had never noted any report of a bank robbery, attempted o.

carried out, in the Gate City. Tracy said that he had heard several years ago from another police official that a group o' suspects seized in Boston had sounded off on the prospects of a bank holdup in Nashua. "The way I heard it," Tracy recalled, "was that (his gang had made a visit to Nashua and 'cased' several banks as prospects for a stickup, but they didn't like the look of things." Too Dangerous Tracy said the men were re- ported as being convinced that a Nashua bank robbery would be too dangerous an taking. Tracy said he was told that one of the gang put it this way: "Everywhere you look around downtown Nashua you see cops." Because much p' Nashua's business life has been centered in the downtown a police officer is never too for away and the police station is on the Main street. "This probably caused i gang to decide to pass up Nashua as a poor prospect for a bank robbery," Tracy said.

The Nashua situation also holds' true in most of New Hampshire. Security Measures J'racy explained that his department had long ago put into effect certain security measures around local banks and mapped out what course of action his department would follow if any holdup should be reported. With the advent of branch banks in the city, Railroad sq and the South End, for example, strict security patrols are maintained in the branch bank areas as well as in the areas of main banks. Suspicious cars and their occupants in bank neighborhoods are always checked out. It is the branch banks that have been "hit" by the robbers most frequently in Massachusetts.

Bank holdups are also rare in other New England states north of Boston. There was a bank holdup attemp last year at So Berwick, Me where a Maine state was gunned to death by two men. For his part in the robbery attempt and subsequent murder, of the officer, a Rochester man received a life term in Maine state prison. Col Joseph L. Regan, former Nashua police chief and now head of the State police, has forecast the mushrooming growth of the branch banking system in the state could make branches "sitting ducks" for out of state bank robbers unless strict security measures are maintained at all times.

Regan said he would like to ROBBERIES Page i EXETER, N. H. (AP) Chief Justice John H. Leahy of -the state Superior Court denied today a motion seeking the dismissal of a temporary injunction barring Gov. John W.

King and the Executive Council from carrying out a threat to suspend Health and Welfare Commissioner James J. Barry. A heaiing was ordered Thursday before the state Supreme Court to consider arguments on the issues raised by the proceedings. Leahy's ruling was disclosed after he conferred for nearly an hour in his chambers with attorneys for King and Bary. Argues Petition King's special counsel, Joseph A.

Millimet, had argued in his petition that Supreme Court Justice Stephen M. Wheeler was without power to issue the temporary injunction he signed Friday night at the request of Barry's attorney, former Gov. Wesley Powell. Powell has been acting as Barry's attorney during recent investigations into the administration of the Health and Welfare Department. The governor and council had notified Barry Friday that he would face suspension without pay unless he agreed by 5 p.

m. today to answer questions orally, if need be put to him by any councilor on official business. The petition also contended, among other things, that Barry has been under "personal and political attack" by King for the past two years. It asked: That King and the council be restrained and enjoined from suspending Barry, according to the text of the notice served on the commissioner Friday. That at any inquiry of Barry, in connection with five investigations presently under- TON1GHT IN THE TELEGRAPH way, either formally or informally, Barry shall be allowed to have legal counsel present and that there be a stenographit record of aii and answers.

GOV KING Page! Growing Season Behind Schedule DURHAM, N. H. (AP) C.

A. Langer, field horticulturist at the University of New Hampshire, says that as of the end of April, the growing season in New Hampshire was seven to 10 days behind schedule. Cool temperatures prevailed longer and more persistently than normal, Langer said in a statement, adding that this could change rapidly and the season could push ahead at a fast pace with a sudden onset of warm weather.
