United States containment
policy. This aims at making
Cuba as costly as possible to
the Soviet Union. and as use
less as possible in subverting
Latin America.
The embargo from the hem
isphere is not so important in
money terms, these officials
argue. Last year Latin Amer
ican countries sold only $S.5
million Of goods to Mr.. Castro,
and bought only 50 million
worth. Their ships also car
ried only a minute portion OF
Cuban trade.
But these officials are look
ing for the psychological i'm
pact which a complete hemis-
pheric embargo would have on
West European nations.
In the field of countering
Communist subversion, the
United States is expected to
push for putting more teeth in
the consultative committee OF
security experts.
The original United States
suggestion at the Punta del
Este conference was to make
this committee a permanent
watchdog working directly un-
der the Inter-American Defense
Board. 1t would help organize

rather than just diagnose and
advise.
For their part, many Of the
foreign ministers profess to be
rather in the dark about what
the United States expects OF
them collectively. They sus-
pect that this meeting is more
to counter Republican charges
of "do-nothingism" in an elec-
ton campaign than to plot
actual collective steps against
Cuba.

Congress has approved and
sent to the White House the
bill amending the Hatch Act
to provide a lighter minimum
penalty for Government en-
ployes found guilty of improper
political activities.
Under the bill which is ex-
pected to be signed by Presi-
dent Kennedy, the Civil Serv-
Ice Commission may impose a
Minimum penalty Of 80 days
suspension from the job. The
present minimum penalty is a
e0-day suspension.
The commission had sought
authority to waive any penalty
in cases Of minor or uninten-
tional violations. The Senate
agreed to this, but the House
insisted on a 30-day minimum
penalty and the Senate finally
went dlOIlS Will Illlo.
THEM THAT. HAS GIFTS
Members of Congress peruSins
the Federal pay-raise legisla-
ton find that Government
classified employees in the up
per middle grades are the ones
that will benefit most from
the bill.
For example, those employees
In the top step Of Grade IS
will receive a total two-phase
raise OF 81 per cent. Those in
step s OF Grade IA will set
a total of II per cent increase.
Those in the top step Of Grade
13 will get a total raise of is
per cent.
This is contrasted with a
total raise Of S per cent for
those in grade 8, for example,
and 8 per cent for those in top
grade 16. And legislative en-
ployes are restricted to a Z per
cent raise.
The overall total two-phaSe
average increase of Federal
classified employees is 9.6 pei
cent. but it is very unevenlS
distributed. This is because oi
two reasons. First, Congress
went along with the admins

Embargo Issue
But the foreign ministers
voted other resolutions which
- in State Department eyes -
have been too slowly imple-
mented. They are:
/. The OAS should study a
complete embargo on all trade
from the hemisphere to Cuba.
2. The OAS council should
establish a special consultative

3. That states in the OAS
