"The move is very interesting" DR..

"As long as I do not get recall

He spent the day in his home

The defiance by DR.. Papanek of

decide.

Herman Santa Cruz said that the
Chilean delegation has received

cations congratulating Chile on
sponsoring DR.. Papanek's complaint.
Mr.. Santa Cruz and DR.. Papanek
are closeNfriends personally, having
served together on the U. N. Eco

Chile and Czechoslovakia made no
difference in their friendship.
A spokesman for the United

on the United States course in the
Security Council Wednesday had
been received. But, he said, the
United States would not stand upon
technicalities. This was seen here
as an indication the United States
