Demonstrations Set Off
Iraq's claim Of sovereignty
set off violent demonstrations
in the little country, for 81
years a British protectorate,
wedged between Iraq and Saudi
Arabia. Air passengers arriv-
ing in Cairo said people were
vowing to take up arms against
any threat to their independ-
ence.
Even Iraqis living in Kuwait
participated in the demonstra-
tions," Mr.. HaSSen said. Gables
supporting Kuwaiti independ-
ence are pouring in from the
whole Arab world.
Kuwait and Saudi Arabia,
neighbors on the Arabian Pc
ninSuia, always had close ties
and this was emphasized in a
broadcast by Radio Mecca of a
statement by King Saud:
1T should be known to every
body that Kuwait and Saudi
Arabia are one country and any
mishap that befalls Kuwait
affects Saudi Arabia and vice
versa"
Supported by HusSein
A more reserved reply was
dispatched by King Hussein of
Jordan in response to Sheik
Abdullah's call for help in
maintaining of Kuwait's legal
rights.
Jordan has always been and
will continue to be a supporter
of truth and justice" said Hus-
Sein's answer as made public in
Amman. Jordan will always
work for the good of her sister
states and the Arab nation

going down the list of the 10
nations he visited and giving a
frank appraisal of their sta
bility and prospects.
He did so in the presence at
the head-table of ambassadors
representing several of the
countries whose governments he
evaluated. He said, for instance,
Of President Quadros of Brazil
that his popularity had de-
clined because of the austerity
of his economic program and
that Brazil had failed to speak
out against Castro in anxiety
to establish its independence
and in fear of alternating groups
with underlying sympathy for
the socialist revolution IN Cuba.
He said Of Bolivia, that its gov
ernment was maintaining au-
thority i" by a tenuous thread. "
No UItimatum With Aid
Mr.. Stevenson also said,
without any oratorical ruffles
and flourishes, that some
South American governments
had presented him with shop
ping lists" as what they want
ed from the Alliance for Prog
reSs" and that some had given
only lip service to the self help
idea.
For the most part. however
he said they know they must
create a sense of hope among
the miserable masses and show
the dissident left wing they
can exert strong leadership to
deal with a new form of out
side intervention"
He said we could not use
economic aid as IAN ultima
tum' but would hope that we
would offer technical assistance
in such fields as community
planning.
The hope of a united front
against Castro in the Organi-
zation Of American States, he
said, must be pursued with
patience and persuasio n
Mexico will not go along, and
the positions of Brazil and Ar
gentina will depend on events
Of the immediate future. :

Star staff Writer


Adlai Stevenson has eStab-
lished something Of a record for
candor on the New Frontier.
It is even possible that he is
the one homecoming official
who, is saying approximately
the same thing in public that
he is telling the President and
the State Department and
members Of Congress behind
closed doors.
The u. N. Ambassador spoke
at the National Press Club yes
terday with striking matter-of-
factneSs about what he saw and
heard on his recently completed
10 Nation tour of Latin
America.
The purpose of the mission
was oStensibly to consult with
Latin-American leaders about
plans for the Kennedy "Alli-
ance for Progress q project,
which he said, has stirred more
enthusiasm than anything
from the United States since
President Roosevelt's Good
Neighbor Policy" But the un-
derlying task was to pick up
the pieces after the abortive
invasion Of Cuba in April.
FranknesS in Public
Mr.. Stevenson discussed that
tender subject with more frank
ness than any Kennedy official
has yet displayed. He did not
say anything they have not said
off the record or behind the
scenes. The difference was that
he said it in public and brought
it up himself.
The invasion and its SubSe-
quent disclosures of disagree
ment within the United States
Government did not" Mr.. Ste
venson said, enhance the
Latin-American opinion Of us.
There is considerable "popu-
lar respect for the social rev.
olution in Cuba because Of its
aspects of land reform, educa-
ton, social equality and de-
fiance of the Yankee colossus.
There is little awareness, he
reported. of 'the police state
terror and subversion" in Cuba
From now on" said Mr.
Stevenson, "non-intervention i;
a cardinal article of faith
throughout Latin Am erica
There was a great deal Of un-
spoken disappointment that
the invasion failed; but if il
had succeeded, the Latin
Americans would have publicly
denounced the unilateral in
vasion."
Clarifies Mediation Aspect
Mr.. Stevenson, who Travelled
as a private citizen uncertain
of his presidential candidacy
through the same area a year
ago, cleared up one misunder-
standing that was prevalent
among high South American
iofficials. Several Of them came
forward and offered to mediate
the United States-Cub dis
pute. He said he believed he
had succeeded in convincing
them that no middlemen are
wanted and that this is not q
bilateral problem but one
which, because of the establish
ment Of a Communist beach
head on the continent concerns
all Latin-American countries.
Mr.. Stevenson reported that
he had been followed or pre-
ceded everywhere by two or
three diplomats from Cuba. He
said they reminded him of the
Republican Truth Squad which
trailed him during the presi-
dental campaigns.
They bore the same relation
to the truth as firemen to the
fire." he quipped. They would
extinguish it if they could"

The Senate Finance Com
mittee today approved a
Hcuse-passed bill to raise the
national debt limit by IS bill
lion to a temporary ceiling of
$298 billion.
The action came after an
urgent plea by Secretary Of the
Treasury Dillon who said he
must have that much borrow
ing power to operate in the
year ahead.
Action by Congress is re-
quired to make sure the Gov
ernment can pay its bills next
week. without new legislation
the limit drops Friday to the
permanent level of $285 billion
and the Treasury figures it
will owe 81 billion more than
that on that date.

some G. o. P. women with

proposal that this country
