WASHINGTON (UP)- The
elements of an anti.United States
explosion have been building up
in Latin America for a long time.
Vice President Richard M. Nixon's

mob violence against the Vice Pre-

One was deliberate instigation
by the Communist Party, which
has made substantial advances in
Latin America in the past two
years, and which now has a dis
