such cooperation, France must
first evacuate Bizerte and the

fairs.
All Latin American ambas-
sadors to the OAS were invited
to the Commute ceremony, ex-
cept those from Cuba and the
Dominican Republic.
After Mr.. Woodward took the
oath Of office, President Ken
nedy said he had bee appointed
to a most demanding post"
1T is a matter of primary con-
Germ to this country" the Presi-
dent continued, that our re-
lationS with this hemisphere be
more intimate, more fruitful.
Marks End Of Search
The ceremony formalized
the end of a long search by the
Kennedy administration, dur
ing which both posts remained
empty and criticism mounted
over the confusion on Latin
American affairs between the
White House and State De-
partment.
Mr.. Woodward is a career
diplomat of long standing in
South America. Mr.. Kennedy
said that Mr.. Woodward had
felt he was safely hidden away
in Chile" where the long arm
of the Government could not
seek him out for greater re-
sponsibility. MI. Woodward
had been newly appointed am
bsasador to Chile.
In speaking of Mr.. Nor
riSon's appointment to the
OAS. President Kennedy said
the organization had been
formed to protect the security
Of the hemisphere. In the
months ahead, he said, the
GAS would face responsible
tiles of greater Importance
than ever before"
Hope Placed in OAS
He characterized Mr.. Morri-
son as a civil servant of great
energy and interest in the
hemisphere. His appointment
the President said, showed the
extraordinary interest of the
United States in the hemi-
sphere and the great hopes
placed in the OAS."
Mr.. Morrison is scheduled to
be one Of the leaders in the
American delegation to the
ter-American Economic and
Social Council meeting to be
held in Montevideo, Uruguay,
at the beginning Of August.
Word is expected within the
next few days about whether
President Kennedy visits South
America for the opening of the
conference. After indications
that he might attend, current
feeling in official quarters is

Of action on India nor would
it use its good offices" to help
settle the dispute over who
Kashmir belongs to.
Actually mediate" the term
used by Mr.. Ayub, is a broad
word which could mean either
acting as messenger boy or pro-
posing solutions. The United
States intends to do no more
than act as a messenger boy Oh
plead with the two nations t.
discuss the situation. There il
no intention of taking sides.
Also disturbing to India was
the Kennedy-Ayub communi.
que, which India interpreted as
permitting Pakistan to use its
military aid against India. Mr.
Chatterjee sasked about this
in a special meeting with As.
sistant Secretary of State Phil
lips Talbot at the State Depart
ment last Friday.
No Change In Aid
The Indian diplomat re-
portedly got assurances there
had been no change in United
States policy on military aid
and PakiStan's use of it against
India would be resisted by the
United States.
Previously all public COM
mentS on aid to Pakistan had
made it clear that American
assistance could be used only
for mutual security" inter-
preted as meaning an attack on
Pakistan or the United States,
or to fight Communism.
But the communique con-
tained this broad statement:
They (the two Presidents)
reviewed the progress of United
States military assistance to
PakiStan. which is being ex-
tended in order to assist that
nation to maintain forces for
the preservation of its securi-
ty."
Preservation of its security, ="
in Pakistan's definition, might
include military action against
India.
