warning To R
U.S. Said Not
To Bow To Any
Missile Threat
Cuba Requests
Study by UN
Newport, R. I. (IfPD - Presi
dent Eisenhower gave the So
viet Union a second warning
today that the United States
will not bow to any missile
threat in meeting Communist
infiltration of Cuba.
He also announced from the
summer. While House he will
ask Congress for money to
finance a bold new mutual
aid program in Latin Ameri
ca lo combat the economic
seeds of Red encroachment.
Session Requested
Almost simultaneously,
Cuba opened a new anti
American diplomatic offen
sive by formally requesting a
session of the United Nations
Security Council on U.S.-Cu-
ban relations. There were
hints from Havana that Amer
ica's Guantanamo Naval Base
in Cuba might be headed for
trouble.
Meeting newsmen after two
emergency conferences with
Secretary of State Christian
A. Herter, Eisenhower gave
these answers to week end
threats from Soviet Premier
Nikita Khrushchev and Cuba's
Fidel Castro:
-The administration stands
by the President's firm-dec-laration
Saturday that mis
sile threats will not deter the
United States In shielding
this hemisphere from interna
tional Communism: . "
Quarantine Considered
-The worsening Cuban cri
sis is being discussed every
day. But for the time being
he saw no reason to disclose
any major moves. Officials
had said previously, however,
that a Pan-American "quar
antine" was under considera
tion. '
-Dictatorships in Latin
America .- such as that of
Fidel Castro will eventualy
end in Latin America and
that the area faces a period
of change. But "the interests
of the people will be better
served if that change is ef
f e c t e d constructively and
peacefully, not violently."
To Help Selves
-To help Latin America
help themselves, "I shall seek
authority for such public
funds as we may deem appro
priate to assist free men and
neighbors in Latin America in
cooperative efforts to develop
their nations and achieve
better lives." He said he will
do so "promptly." -
Eisenhower spelled out his
dramatic plan - and some of
its proposals are drastic - in
a 1,000-word declaration that
we must help find construc
tive means for the underpriv
ileged masses of mankind to
work their way toward a bet
ter life."

lay a wager now on the out

Political Skill Noted
Porter based his belief that
Kennedy might yet be stop

Sam Rayburn who "play for

he thinks Stevenson will be

At a fund raising .dinner

Stevenson .was "head and tor-,

Porter is one of an indefi

a U. S. airplane that violated
Soviet air space over the Be- '
rents Sea July . 1, and that
the two survivors among the
six men aboard - would be
prosecuted "with full severity

Russia said the plane was
attached to a special military
intelligence unit and, besides
two 20 mm guns and ammu
nition, carried "radio elec

Left U. S. Base
It said the plane took off
from a U. S. military base at
Brize Norton, England. '
Just two months earlier on
May 1, a: newly developed
Russian rocket brought down
a U. S. U2 reconnaissance
plane deep inside Russia over
Sverdlovsk. On Saturday, the
Soviets announced that the
U2's pilot, Francis G. Powers,
would be tried for espionage.
The vacation White House

The U. S. Air Force at Wies
baden, Germany, announced
July 2 that an Air Force RB47
with six men aboard was miss
ing on a flight off northern
Norway to map electro-mag-'

Presumably such a flight
would be to check Russian
radar defenses.
The Air Force launched I
massive sea search for' the
plane, all of whose flight
would have been over-water.
A Russian coast guard cutter
also was to take part.
Possibility Unlikely
An Air Force spokesman at
the time acknowledged that
the plane might have been
shot down- by Russian de
fenses If it had wandered off
course but termed such a pos
sibility highly unlikely.
