would be read out of OAS
bodies. Working groups were
trying to devise a formula that
would be acceptable to most.
The main point in this is that
Brazil, Mexico and the others
of their group stand on the
legalistic ground that Cuba is
a member of the OAS and
cannot be read out within terms
of the OAS Charter. If they
have their way, the effect could
be at least to delay Cuba's
election.
Members Of the seven-per-
haps all of them-also disagree
with the United States call for
an end to the present limited
trade between Cuba and Latin
America. This proposal, in ef-
feet economic sanctions, is
aimed primarily at stopping
the arms trade in both direc-
tionS. ,,.....
Lists Faur' Points
Mr.. Rusk yesterday urged the
ministers to ADOPT a declaration
incorporating these four points:
Cd Recognition that Cuba's
alignment with the Communist
world is incompatible with the
inter-American system; t2) ex-
clusion of the Castro regime
from OAS functions; (3J in
terruption of trade between
Cuba and the rest of the Amer
icas, particularly in arms, and
"a establishment of individual
and collective defense acts
against political and indirect
aggression in the hemisphere.
/. All are willing to declare
Cuban communism incompati-
BILE with the Einter-American
system, but Brazil and Mexico
particularly seem to want to
delay the process by which
Cuba would be ousted from
inter- American family delib-
erations. T1 E1.' ISL l-,.
The Brazilian attitude spurred
Senator Hickenlooper, Republi-
can of Iowa, to call a speech
by Brazilian Foreign Minister
Francisco San Thiago Dantas
"inexcusably offensive" to the
United States. Senator Hicken-
looper's opinion was echoed by
Representative Selden, Demo-
'crat. of Alabama.
-, Party Is BoycOtted
Both Senator Hickenlooper
and Senator Morse, Democrat
of Oregon, skipped Brazilian
reception a few hours after Mr..
Dantas' speech Wednesday
night. Senator Morse said he
found himself "in major dis
agreement with the Brazilian
speech which I felt evaded the
clear responsibility of the con-
ference to exclude the Commu-
mist Cuban regime from the
IOAS." .r
Mr.. Selden, the only one of
the four congressional delegates
to attend the Brazilian recep-
ton, said he went along with
Mr.. Rusk despite their displeas-
ure at the speech because both
felt the protocol affair was sep
arate from the political declara-
ton.
Brazil's position poses a seri-
Gus problem since any action
here with teeth in it will prob
ably have to be taken without
the support of Latin Americas S
biggest nation. 1t also probably
will have an effect in Congress
on the future of the Alliance for
Progress program, at least as
lit affects Brazil and its shaky
economy and turbulent political
situation.
DOrticOs Speaks 3 Hours
Mr.. Castro's spokesman,
Cuban President Osvaldo Dor
ticos, replied to the charges
against the Cuban regime with
a bitter denunciation of the
United States that rambled on
for nearly three hours, until
early this morning.
He challenged the right of
the foreign ministers to sit in
Judgment on the Cuban revo-
luton, which he said is inde-
structible. He reminded the
OAS that it had never broken
with Cuban Dictator Fulgencio
Batista, who was ousted by the
Castro revolution.
In an obvious reference to
the abortive United StateS-sup-
ported invasion of Cuba last
April, Mr.. Dorticos declared
that there had been attempts
to destroy the Castro revolu-
ton before land none of you
was consulted then" He said
the OAS had shown no dispo-
sition to take measures against
"counter-revolutionary muir
derers and terrorists paid by
the United States Government
some of whom committed
horrible crimes"
Turning to four other ma
tions pushing for strong action
against Mr.. Castro, he said:
Gentlemen, speak of repre-
sentative democracy after there
is no hunger, no misery among
your peoples. There is no
democracy in Paraguay, Mica
ragua, Colombia, Peru"
Jose Garcia Bauer Of Guate-
mala followed Mr.. Dorticos to
the stand and sharply assailed
Cuba as "a huge battleship
