Big Lead In Dominican
Republic Free Election
SANTO DOMINGO UP) — The
left-leaning Dominican Revolution
ary party surged into an impres
sive early lead today in unofficial
returns from the Dominican Re
public’s first free election in 38
years.
Returns compiled by independ
ent newspapers and radio stations
showed reform-minded Juan Bosch
running far in front of Dr. Viriato
Fiallo of the Conservative Civic
Union in the race for president.
While unofficial returns showed
the trend favorable to the Revolu
tionary party, there was no recent
barometer upon which observers
could make definite predictions of
the outcome.
