u. S. Denies Cuts
Affect Security
BY the Associated Press

The State Department denied
yesterday a report that elimina-
ton of 25 positions in the de-
partment's office of Security
would gravely affect national
security.
Press Officer Lincoln White
quoted william o. Boswell, di-
rector of security for the State
Department, as saying that if
these cuts would endanger ma
tional security Il would resign
in protest"
Mr.. White also quoted Her
man Pollack, acting assistant
secretary for administration, as
saying the IS positions are part
of a force of 273 persons in the
Office of Security in Washing
ton and 18 other cities.
OF the 25 reductions, Mr.
White said, II will be made in
the Washington field office,
two in New York and one in
Los Angeles, and the position
of deputy director will be
abolished. The other reduc-
tions included five on the Sc
curity office evaluation staff

Domestic Problems in Way
The question is how far other
states will go along with this
approach. They are mainly con-
cerned with their own domestic
problems, and Mr.. Castro COM
mands an enormous popular
following among discontented
masses in Latin America.
Proof of that has come once
again in the cold shoulder GAS
diplomats have given here to
the sweeping condemnation of
Cuba which Peru suddenly sub
mitted to the Council some

to be referred to the Inter

the Colombian initiative sweeps

Colombo Starts Push
In OAS to Isolate Cubo
By GEORGE SHERMAN
Star staff Writer

The diplomatic push to isolate Cuba from the hemisphere
has begun with formal Colombian request meeting of
foreign ministers Of the Americas January 10.
In letter to Ambassador Bautsta Lavalle of
Peru acting chairman of the Council of the Organization
American States Colombian Ambassador Alberto zuea Angel
Evening star., 1961-11-10

~N~NAA @~NNNNSf OSACAAA1AlAA IA
last night requested that the
foreign ministers consider
measures for defending the
Western Hemisphere against
the Intervention of extra-con-
tinental powers"
The Colombian initiative
is supported by the United
States. Its rather vague Ian
guage mentions neither Cuba
nor Communist SubverSion, but
the implication is clear.
Colombia proposed that the
foreign ministers meet under
terms of the 1947 Rio Treaty
Of reciprocal assistance ito
consider threats to the peace
and political independence of
the American states which may
emerge from the intervention
Of extra-continental powers,
designed to break American
solidarity"
Would Define Threats
The Colombians suggested
that the foreign ministers meet
to:
l. Define various types of
threats to peace and the acts
which would call for hemis-
pheric sanctions under the Rio
Treaty.
2. Determine what specific
measures should be taken to
preserve peace and security in
the hemisphere, once threats
and acts are defined.
The OAS Council will meet |
Tuesday morning to begin dis
cussing the Colombian request |
and a possible site for the
meeting. The Cuban delegate,
Carlos Lechuga, is still in
Havana, where he went sud-
denly several days ago for
consultations.
1t is expected the Colombians
will have little difficulty obtain
ing the simple majority needed
in the 21-member Council to
convene a foreign ministers
meeting.
On the other hand, hackers
Of the Colombian approach
admit that much disagreement
still exists on how fast and .
how far a meeting of foreign
ministers can move against the
Fidel Castro government.
Mexico, Brazil Wary
Mexico and Brazil are still
firmly opposed to any action
which Smacks of intervention
in domestic Cuban affairs.
The Colombian approach at
temptS to bypass this opposition
by focusing on the wider threat
which Subversion by Cuban
"revolutionaries" and their mil
itary liaison with the Sino-
Soviet bloc poses to the security
of the hemisphere.
Although no hemisphere ma
chinery exists for acting against
aggression by Subversion," the
Declaration of San Jose ap-
proved by two-thirds majority
Of foreign ministers in August,
1860, says every American ma
ton has the obligation to
submit to the discipline of the
inter-American system" and
the OAS chapter itself calls for
collective action against any
aggression in the hemisphere.
The COlombians reason that
a new meeting of foreign min
listers should include subversion
in the definition of aggression,
and establish machinery to deal
with it.
If Cuba should refuse to ac-
cept the discipline" of this
machinery, it would be guilty l.
