Reds Don't Run The Rebels, US. Leaders Now Admitting SANTO DOMINGO (AP)-- US. officials now are said to be convinced that Communist leaders no longer dominate the rebel command in the Domini- b can civil war. But in the view of men who are shaping American policy here the Communist threat re- mains serious and would quickly erupt into a new bid for power and a second Cuba in the Carib- bean if U.S. troops were with- drawn. One of the underlying realities of this confused island' conflict as it moves into the new phase of militany deadlock is that U.S. troops, forming the largest con- tingent of an inter-American anti-Communist force, are going to be in the Dominican Republic for a long time. U.S. officials say, however, that as the Organization of American States brings in units from other countries some U.S. forces will be withdrawn. The withdrawals will total a few thousand. men but. President Johnson has at least 21,000 ma rines and soldiers on duty now and many thousands will be left The U.S. would welcome large contingents from other coun- tries, but the present goal is a Latin American contribution of around 2,000 officers and men including a Brazilian force of 1,250 The international force is des-| tined to play an important}, "veto role' in the immediate} future of Dominican politics, as| Johnson administration authori-| ties envisage future . develop- ments. This, as they see it, are the present situation and future outlook: Three weeks ago, in a dra- matic Sunday night statement of U.S. policy toward the Do- minican Republic, Johnson said "Communist consprators" had seized control, .of the rebel movement headed by Col. Fran- cisco Caamano Deno. The pres- ident evidently thought the reb els might win and Communists set up a second Cuba here. He made clear U.S. troops would not permit that. Since then two things have happened. The strength of a five-man civilian military junta, headed by Gen. Antonio Imbert Barrera, has grown markedly, while rebel power has been re- duced to the downtown area of Santo Domingo. Also, the search for a military solution! has produced a military stand-| off with rebel forces and junta) troops separated by an Ameri-! can-held buffer zone.

Their orders are to:treat both impartially. Similarly in. the political Struggle, the U.S. has a veto power (due to its military pres- ence) over any proposed new government of which it disap- proves. But without a major change in policy, the U.S. does not have the ability to impose a political solution on the country. It must, therefore, try to nego- tiate a way out.
