Nov. s (R.-The 2o-nation Latin
American bloc in the U. N.
Threatened today to split with
the United States over the make
up of an international committee

The difference arose last night
In the q. N. Political Committee.

that the United States would re-

GREETED that he could not support
the Ecuadorean proposal. which

said the United States felt a

could defeat the whole purpose
Of the project.
Can't Get support
Latin American diplomats
said privately that, unless the
United States changes its views,
it cannot expect their support on
the Western-backed proposal to
set up an international commit
tee Of scientists to study the
dangers Of atomic radiation.
Observers predicted that--with
the Soviet bloc and the Arab
Asian states also pressing for
an enlarged scientific groupthe

Another stumbling block to

to the call for ending bomb tests

Democratic leaders were re.
ported in disagreement today
over whether to strike directly
at President Eisenhower in next
years campaign even il he runs

One group of Democrats was
represented as believing that
public sympathy for the Presi-
dent because Of his heart attack
is such that q direct attack
would be politically unwise.
But another faction was said

parently would make the Presi-
dent only a secondary target II
he chose not to run again.

theory seems likely to be fol-

congressional leaders who have
been paving the way for action
