TUESDAY. SEPTEMBER 25. 1962 Most Latin American Nations Expected To Support Blockade of Cuba MEDFORD MAIL TRIBUNE. MEDFOHD. OREGON Washington - (UPD - Peru vian Ambassador Fernando Berckemeyer predicts that most Latin American nations would support any U.S. block ade of Communist-dominated Cuba. Berckemeyer. acting dean of the diplomatic corps in the capital, said he held that opin ion "because something like that has been suggested be fore and some of the countries have expressed sympathy with such an action." When Sen. Kenneth B. Keating (R-N.Y.) asked if he felt most Latin nations would back a blockade, the Peru vian envoy said "I presume so." Keating said he was not advocating an i m m e diate blockade because the United States has "not laid the groundwork for such action," such as obtaining cooperation of Allied nations. "If we ever decide to In stitute a blockade, we must make certain that it is effec tive," Keating said. "It would be better not to blockade at all than to permit another failure like the (1961) Cuban invasion." Sen. Hugh Scott (R-Pa.) meantime called for a non belligerent blockade aimed at "seeking voluntarily to turn aside Russian and Russian leased vessels importing mili tary supplies into Cuba." Under the Monroe Doctrine, Scott said, "we are author ized to go turther if we must." However, he said, "I think this action of blockade, carried ut by our air and naval forces, would te sumciem. i "I do not advocate an inva sion of Cuba under the pres ent circumstances, he said Berckemeyer told Keating he did not agree with those who held the Monroe Doc trine is no longer valid. "I think the doctrine is very tauch alive, he said. . The Peruvian- ambassador said he felt President Ken nedy "was right in stating -that the document is still an instrument very much in the hearts of the Republics of the outh." ' He said "I think that any in terference with the establish. ed system of the Americas, with our ideologies, with our institutions, with our demo cratic spirit, by a country which is away from us, Is an Interference. 1 The continuing congression al debate over Cuba policies boiled along through the week end as both houses moved to ward action on a Democratic leadership resolution pledging support for any firm action President Kennedy may take toward Cuba. Scott charged that Kenne dy "up to now has not op posed (Monroe Doctrine) vio lations which have occurred" and said "There's been great difference between his statements and his actions." The Pennsylvania Republi can, a onetime GOP national chairman,, also charged that Kennedy is sur"ided by White House ai rs "who are known to favor conces sion, accommodation, retreat, negotiation and anything which is weak as against that which is strong." Scott said he felt Soviet Premier Nikita S. Khrush chev is "counting on the fact that President Kennedy is li able to listen to men who hold this dangerous doctrine that you can negotiate forev er. He said such people are wrong because they negoti ate from weakness and inde cision. You can only negotiate from strength.

LEARNING TO WEAVE Robert Lee is learning to weave rugs under manual arts instruction so that he can have a "trade" and something to do.

(Matthews Photo) Chinese Resident At Domiciliary Has Thoughts White City - China has had no peace for about a century. according to Robert Lee, a native of Canton, who came to this country in 1924. They have had nothing but a hot time tor a nunarea years, is the way he puts the situation there. Lee is a World War II vet eran and has lived most of the time in Portland, where he worked as a cook and a waiter Chinese restaurants. He lives now at the Domiciliary here where he doesn't get sick as he did in the city. "People helped but I like it better here," he commented. Has Pontiva Ideas Lee has positive ideas about the plight of the people of China. "They don't have enough to cat for one thing."
