State Department and other
agencies here, were attached to the
United States delegation to the
Inter-American Conference, which
was disrupted by the rioting that
broke out Friday.

being reduced because of a shortage
of food in Bogota and in view of
plans to streamline conference pro-
cedures.

United States delegation staff were
flown from Bogota to the Panama
Canal Zone by Army transport
planes Sunday. A few others were
flown there yesterday.
