Herter Calls For Intensification
Of Bonds Tying American Nations
SAN JOSE, Costa Rica (AP)
Secretary of Stale Christian A.
Herter called today for intensifi
cation of the bonds that unite
American nations in their search
- for peace, security and economic
and social progress.
Herter spoke on his arrival here
from Washington for a conference
of foreign ministers of the West
ern Hemisphere.
Police Ready
Security police were ready to
pat down any Communist demon
strations but his arrival at the
airport was uneventful.
Diplomatic informants in Wash
inton had warned that the Keds
might try to stage another out
break like that which occurred
during the Bogota conference in
118, when Gen. George C. Mar
shall was secretary of state and
headed the U. S. delegation.
. Herter Met
- Herter and his aides were met
by Costa Kican Foreign Minister
Alfredo Vargas. A crowd of about
100, including newsmen, was on
band. . . , .
This contrasted with a cheering
throng of 500 which welcomed
Cuban Foreign Minister Raul Roa
on his arrival Sunday.
Ministers Assemble -
The foreign ministers assem
bled amid warnings that the So
viet Union's rising Interest in the
hemisphere has sharpened ten
sions in the Caribbean area.
The warning came in a 250-page
report of the Inter-American
Peace Committee, made public as
the Organization of American
States OAS prepared to open its
conference of foreign ministers to
night. Whiting Willauer, U.S. ambas
sador to Costa Rica, predicted the
Communists would start trouble
during the ministers' parley, but
he expressed confidence Costa Ri
can reaction would be strongly
against such demonstrations. The
Communist party is illegal in Cos
ta Rica, but there are about 300
card-carrying Reds here, Willauer
said.
Delegates Disarmed
Police disarmed several mem
bers of the Cuban delegation Mon
day at their hotel and detained
a Cuban newsman for carrying
firearms. Police also broke up a
crowd of about 100 persons out
side a hotel shouting "Cuba Si!"
Soviet penetration of Latin Am
erica, particularly into Cuba, and
Venezuelan charges against the
Dominican Republic are the two
main items before the conference.
The Venezuelan charges will be
taken up first.
