why Mr.. Dillon could not wait

Mr.. Dillon replied that it
might be practical to wait un-
til January for the $3.50 million
that was cut from the Develop
ment Loan Fund. But he said
the remaining Sis million for
defense support and other
economic aid could not wait
until January without interfer-
ing with programs that have to
be budgeted this fall in CO.
operation with other countries.

Compromise
Set to Sidestep
BIust at Castro

! SAN JOSE, Costa Rica. Aug
81 (APl Latin American for
eign ministers today hammered
out a draft resolution which
would sidestep United States
charges against Fidel Castro
but condemn Soviet Premier
Khrushchev for making rocket
threats in defense of Cuba.
| A compromise worked out by
four nations faced possible
changes and even bitter debate
before being finally approved
by the 20 foreign ministers of
the Organization of American
States.
The proposal specifically 6e-
nounces the Soviet Premier for
threatening to rain rockets on
the American mainland if the
United States interveneS in
Cuba.
The United States had called
for an outright condemnation
of Communist penetration OF
the Western Hemisphere and
charged that Mr.. Castro was
an ally of the Soviet bloc.
/ Castro Defiant
The Cuban leader has pledged
friendship for the Soviet Union
and Red China in defiance OF
any move by the OAS to rebuke
him.
The draft was drawn up by
a working committee of min
listers from Mexico. Chile, Uru-
quay and Colombia after a
four-hour session that lasted
until 2 am.
The proposal was slated to
get an airing later today before
a donation committee named
by the OAS to prepare a final
resolution on extra continental
menaces and subversive activi-
ties.
Later it will go to the full
Council of Ministers meeting
here. A widely divided vote
may result if the draft fails
to meet Cuba's objections.
Ministers Split
The move for a compromise
came after the 20 OAS minis
ters split over United States
demands that they condemn
Mr.. Castro's leftward march for
piercing the wall of hemis-
pheric solidarity against COM
munism.
Secretary of State Herter ran
into opposition with some ma
tions holding out for watered-
