threats from its pledges against

sphere.
Moreover. Mr.. Eisenhower
said, in line with it's treaty
obligations to the other Ameri-

Formal opposition by the
United States to foreign inter-
vention in the Americas goes
back more than a century and
a quarter to the Monroe Doc
trine of 1923. The commit
ment to protect the region
against domination by any
foreign power has been em-
braced in more recent years by
inter American agreements,
notably the Rio Treaty of
mutual defense in 1947 and
the 1854 Caracas resolution
which is specifically directed
against Communist subversion
of any American nation.
All Are Committed
The Caracas resolution pro-
vides for consultation on pos
sible anti-CommuniSt measures.
One effect of the Eisenhower
statement, though it was aimed
Squarely at Mr.. Khrushchev, is
to remind other Western Hemi-
sphere leaders that all are
committed to resist Communist
intervention or encroachment.
Mr.. Khrushchev's foray into
the current inter-American
situation, therefore, may be
used by the United States to
rally support throughout Latin
America on the issue of COM

Kennedy Seen Winning
As Strength Holds Firm
Only On Upset
At Last Minute
Can Stop Him
BY ]. A. O'LEARY
Star Stan Writer

LOS ANGELES, July 8. -
Only a last-minute major upset
can deprive Senator John F.
Kennedy Of the presidential
nomination at the Democratic
convention opening here Mon
day.
That is the only conclusion
that can be drawn from the
events of the past week and the
present position of the candi-
dates.
AS the presidential hopefulS
and delegates by the hundreds
arrived on this bustling scene,
most observers here agreed that
Senator Kennedy, who entered
the pre-convention period as the
frontrunner, has maintained
his position and that his rivals
have failed to cut into his
strength either singly or jointly.
During the day three distinct
gains improved the Massachu-
setts Senator's already bright
prospects. They supported the
conclusion that only last
minute major upset can stop
him.
Breach of SOutherners
Early in the day Kennedy
forces made a breach in the
Southern stronghold of Sena-
tor johnson of Texas, when
Terry Sanford, who is slated
to be the next Governor of
North Carolina. got aboard the
Kennedy bandwagon and esti-
mated a third of his States
81 votes would come with him.
Later, a favorite son, Gov.
George Docking of Kansas,
said he is inclined to release
his 21-vote delegation. He
predicted a majority of them
would go Immediately for Sena-
tor Kennedy.
Another boost for the Sen
ator came from organized |
labor.
Joseph A. Beirne, president
of the Communications Work
ers of America, said he knows
from personal contact that all
except a small minority" of |
the leaders of the AFL-CIO
unions also favor Senator
Kennedy.
Mr.. Beirne, in announcing
his personal support, added
that a poll of his unions mem
bership of nearly 100000 rated
Senator Kennedy highest
among Democratic presidential
aSpirantS.
On arriving at the airport in |
mid-afternoon, the 43-year-old |
New Englander was smiling
and confident as he repeated |
his estimate that he would get |
more than 900 votes on the
first ballot, not counting any
later support from favorite son
States.
1t will take 761 votes to be !
nominated, and Senator Ken
nedy recalled he had never
predicted he would go over on
the first ballot.
Others Are Hopeful
Despite the growing signs of |
a Kennedy victory, supporters
of Senators johnson and SYM
lngton and those who want to
draft Adlai Stevenson, con-
tlnued to Whoop it up for their
men. But none of them were
pointing to any developments
as specific as the Kennedy
gains.
A major effort by the john
son forces to crack Senator
Kennedy'S strength in New
York apparently failed today.

York national committeeman,
came out of a one-hour huddle

Eisenhower Cites
3 Commitments
To Hemisphere

NEWFOn1, II. l., July y
(AP). - President Eisenhower
tonight bluntly warned Russia
to keep hands off Cuba. He
told Soviet Premier Khrushchev
that the United States won't
stand for a Cuban regime
dominated by international
communism.
The President fired his stern
warning a few hours after Mr..
Wiley, Mansfield BIost Khrushchev
"MeddIine." Poee A
Khrushchev had pledged all
out support to Cuba's Fidel
Castro regime in it's crisis-rid-
den struggle with the United
States.
Mr.. Khrushchev also had
said Russia now has rocket
power capable of smashing
Americas heartland if the
United States dared intervene
in Cuba.
The vacationing President,
trout fishing when he got word
of the latest KhruShchev blast,
Immediately conferred by tele-
phone with Secretary of State
Herter, who was in Washing
ton.
The Soviet leader sounded off
amid administration concern
that he may everyday his hand
and perhaps try to make good
on some of his boastful threats
and conceivably start World
War III.
Mr.. Eisenhower's tough state
ment appeared to reflect that
concern.
Text of Statement
1t said:
THE statement which has
just been made by Mr.. Khru-
shchev in which he promises
full support to tne Castro
regime in Cuba is revealing in
two respects.
1T underScores the close ties
that have developed between
the Soviet and Cuban govern
ments. 1t also shows the Soviet
purposes in this hemisphere.
THE statement of the Soviet
Premier reflects the efforts Of
an outside nation and of inter-
national communism to inter-
vene in the affairs of the
Western Hemisphere.
There is irony in Mr..
Khrushchev'S portrayal of the
Soviet Union as the protector
of independence of an Ameri-
can nation when viewed against
the history of the enslavement
Of countless other peoples by
Soviet imperialism.
Cites Commitment
"The inter American system
has declared itself, on more
than one occasion, beginning
with the Rio Treaty, as op-
posed to any such interference.
We are committed to uphold
those agreements.
Il affirm in the most empha-
tic terms that the United States
will not be deferred from it's
responsibilities by the threats
Mr.. Khrushchev is making. Nor
will the United States, in con-
formity with its treaty obliga-
ton, permit the establishment
of a regime dominated by in
ternational communism in the
Western Hemisphere"
The commitments to which
Mr.. Eisenhower alluded in
clude, said White House Press

Soviet Threat
To u. ). Backs
Cuba 5 Hand
Khrushchev Says
Russian Rockets
Can Hit America

HAVANA, July 9 (AP).-
Bolstered by Nikita Khru-
shchev's warning that Soviet
rockets could strike the United
States if Cuba were attacked,
Prime Minister Fidel Castro
summoned his followers today
to new and greater demonstra-
tions against American "ag-
gression."
Mr.. Khrushchev's declara-
ton that Russia, with her
rocket arsenal, is pledged to
all-out support Of Cuba in its
David and Goliath" struggle
with Washington conceded
with Mr.. Castro's efforts to
assemble a million and a half
supporters here tomorrow in
a mass demonstration of sup
port for his leftist regime.
Many here saw in the Soviet
premier's promise of support
for Mr.. Castro disclosure of a
mutual defense pact between
Cuba and the Kremlin secretly
negotiated-perhaps by Armed
Forces Minister Raul Castro
who is now in Prague-to
further embarrass the United
States.
Castro supporters were quick
to pick up Mr.. KhruShchev's
bold challenge to Washington
and link it with statements of
Mexican politicians in support
of the Cuban governments
contention that "our revolution
does not stand alone"
CastrO'S Hand BOIStered
First reaction in neutral
quarters was that Soviet solid
| b backing would materially
strengthen the prime ministers
hand. Many also said Mr.
Khrushchev's support coulo
crush growing opposition tc
Mr.. Castro in Cuba and per-
haps win him new followers
among other Latin Nations
who thus far have remained
out of the Washington Havana
conflict.
But some Latin diplomats
called the Khrushchev threat
of military support a danger
GUS two-edged sword"
His open Intervention in
Cuban affairs and his declara-
ton that Castro's Cuba is now
within the Communist orbit OF
interest is certain to provoke
reaction among Cuban Cath
olics," said one diplomat. "And
I think it is certain to raise
strong displeasure of other
Catholic nations in Latin
America"
American diplomats declined

Danger Made Clear
The warning issued by Presi-

to make the danger clear to the

too deeply involved. In this re-
spect Mr.. Eisenhower made two
