Delay on Braden Put Peron
Back in Power, Cuban Says

By the Associated Press.
A Cuban government spokesman
said yesterday that delay Of the
Senate Foreign Relations Commit
tee in approving the appointment
Of Spruille Braden as Assistant Sec
retary Of State was responsible for
the return of Col, Juan Peron to
power In Argentina.
Edward Chibas, member Of the
Cuban Senate who often speaks for
the Grau administration, told a
news conference the Argentine peo-
pie interpreted the delay as meaning
the committee did not approve Mr..
Braden's attitude toward the Far
rell- -Peron regime.
Mr.. Braden formerly was ambas-
sador to Argentina. The Foreign
Relations Committee held up action
for weeks on his appointment as
Assistant Secretary in charge of
Latin American affairs.
Various committee members have
said the delay was not based on
criticism Of Mr.. Braden's work in
Argentina but on dissatisfaction with
the way the State Department had
handled postponement OF an inter-
American conference at Rio de
Janeiro. Some said the Department
had not consulted other American
republics sufficiently. @
