Mr.. Roa also had hinted that
Cuba might again go to the
Security Council with its
charges of economic aggression
by the United States, charges
the council had referred to the
OAS. Mr.. Roa said he is con-
vinced Cuba is under imminent
threat of military invasion from

United States Secretary of
State Christian Herter again
rejected the charges COM

Although the United States
had pressed for a specific call
on Cuba to repudiate and re-
ject Communist intervention in
the hemisphere, the final draft
of the declaration was conSid-
cred a victory for the United
States. Diplomats said the res
olution turned out far stronger
than had been expected.
The declaration produced
another conference casualty in
addition to the Cubans. Vene-
zulean Foreign Minister Ignacio

soften the resolution to make
it acceptable to Cuba. announ-

conference act. Mr.. Herter was
scheduled to leave for Wash

the marathon, l4-day confer

meeting he has attended since
he became Secretary of State.

vent any violence by Commu-

the conference was held, the

Cuba if she were attacked by
the United States and the Cas-
tro regimes acceptance of such
help.
In another obvious slap at
Cuba. the ministers said they

claimed that all members Of

Leaves Before Vote
Mr.. Roa did not wait for the
vote on the resolution. Before
he walked out, he said his
country would not recognize
any condemnation of commu-
nism the OAS indorsed. He
said again that Cuba will ac-

The father was a man full OF
obvious pride and delight after
grim hour of worry.
Excellent" was the report of
DR.. John A. Walsh, the attending
physician, on the condition OF
both mother and child some IL
hours after delivery. The doc
tor said both parents are de-
lighted that the baby is boy.
Events came in rapid fire or
der last night after Kennedy set
out by plane to resume the post
election vacation he had broken
to spend Thanksgiving with his
wife and their 3-year-old daugh-
ter.
At 1915, while Kennedy was
airborne, Mrs. Kennedy called
the doctor.
The physician summoned an
ambulance, visited his patient and
beat the ambulance to the hos
pital.
Caesarian delivery had been
planned long in advance for Dec.
IL but events occurred a little
sooner than we had expected"
DR.. Walsh said.
By 1922 the baby was de-
hvered.
But a minute later when Ken
nedy landed at Palm Beach the
only word over telephone line
held open for him was that the
operation was going on.
Kennedy was airborne again,
grim of face, in less than half
an hour on a bigger and faster
plane.
At los word was radioed to
him that otis boy" and the
President-elect relaxed.
Landing at Washington at 4:04
am, Kennedy was at the hospital
at 4:16.
He visited briefly with his wife,
still groggy from medication, re-
ceived the doctors reassuring re-
ports and went home to bed an
obviously happy man.
The baby is the first son for
the President-elect and his wife.
Their daughter, Caroline, will be
