Questions Persist on Details
Of Kennedy, Oswald Deaths

DALLAS, Nov. 80 (AP).-
While Americans grope with
the enormity Of q presidential
assassination, they also are
asking questions about the de-
tails of John F. Kennedy's
Staying eight days ago.
The questions evidently
asked most often:
Was the assassination q con-
spiracy followed by the silenc-
ing Of the accused triggerman
so he could not reveal the plot?
Could one man have fired
three bullets that rapidly from
the bolt-action rifle police say
is the assassination gun-in
other words, did another man
stand beside accused Lee Har-
vey Oswald and fire with him?
Some answers were given by
Dallas police before FBI agents
took over both the investiga-
ton and the physical evidence
and Immediately halted prog
reSs reports.
District Attorney Henry
Wade. who like other officers
has said repeatedly that o.
wald killed the President. also
repeatedly has said:
I'VE have no concrete EVIL
dence that anyone assisted him

ceived and carried out the

States. Its effects are magni-
fled when advocates of extreme
anti United States action in
Latin America provoke punitive
counteraction in Washington.
This situation seems more
difficult for Latin presidents
than for the United States
Chief Executive. They rule over
smaller countries and depend
upon more sensitive congresses.
Political parties split up into
small factions, which are often
completely irresponsible.
Complaining the South Am
erican situation is the fact that
governments are frequently
contaminated by corruption
and graft. Even when honest,
they are often Impractical. Po-
litical leaders usually would
rather debate issues than solve
problems. National pride and
economic dependence on the
UniCed States stand in better
conflict with each other.
I'VE got our freedom from
Spain $50 years ago." q Latin
newspaperman said. But we
still don't have our economic
independence-and that means
we don't have independence
from the United States"
Misunderstanding" Cited
These views on the problems
and dangers confronting the
United States and its Latin
American allies are among gen.
eral conclusions drawn from a
six-week tour of half a dozen
South American countries and
from interviews with five preSi-
dents.
The first thing a visitor to
South America is told Is that
North Americans misunder-
stand the continent and its peo-
pie. They think Of it as a single
huge country. The United
States Government, it Is said,
tends to cover the area, despite
its diversity. with a single over
all policy.
Despite the Spanish langu-
age and Spanish traditions, no
image Of South America could
be more misleading. Even the
Spanish language and heritage
are limited in unifying effects.
The biggest Latin American
country. Brazil, speaks Portu-
gueSe and Is built upon Portu-
gueSe traditions. It is proud of
its easy-going, rather carefree
ways. Most Of the population is
q mixture Of European, Negro
and Indian anceStries.
Argentina springs from the
Spanish tradition, yet the mod
ern Argentinian finds his cul-
tural mecca in London or
Paris, not Madrid.
He has made his capital,
Buenos Aires, in the image of
the two great capitals Of West
ern Europe. He boasts a large
middle class and South Ameri-

Independent Aid Uses

His other suggestion was
that the United States should
agree to q greater indepen-
dent use of foreign aid resour-
ces by those countries which
have proved their willingness
and ability" to use the aid eff
fectively.
A similar appeal Is made by
Peru's president, Fernando Be-
launde Terry. He started a six
year term last July. Right off
he failed to get q $40 million
United States loan to buy picks
and shovels for Indian peas
ants whose living standards
would be improved by such
simple help.
From this and other exper-
fences, Mr.. Belaunde concluded
that the Alliance for Progress
Is being strangled by its own
red tape. He found it usually
takes two years-barring an
earthquake or other catas-
trophe-to get a specific aid
project approved.
The Alliance as not working
rapidly to accomplish concrete
results" Mr.. Belaunde said.
A United States-trained ar
chitect, Mr.. Belaunde Is anoth-
er political leader with q repu-
tation for honesty. So Is Argen-
tina's Dr.. nlia, who took office
on October IL.
DR.. lila said the Alliance for
Progress has been operated I'M
der conditions that deprive it
Of dynamism and force. Like
his foreign minister, Zavala
Ortiz, DR.. lila argued that aid
procedure should be simplified.
The United States, he said,
should loosen its controls and
make the Latin American
countries more responsible for
their own reform and develop
ment programs.

than 20 per cent Of aid costs.
In Brazil, the United States
share has been running nearer
so per cent.
To Latin American leaders,
Brazil gives evidence that the
United States can be presSured
by circumstances and political
hostility into relaxing its rules.
They have other criticisms.
One Is that the United States
Is more concerned with build
ing immediate defenseS against
communism than with eradi-
eating the basic conditions of
misery and want that encour-
age communism.
Another criticism Is that the
United States uses its aid pro-
gram as q means Of enforcing
a kind Of colonialism In protec-
ton Of United States business
interests. That was the reac-
ton to the congressional threat
to cut off aid to Argentina over
cancellation Of United States
oil contracts. The same applied
to the threat to halt aid to
Peru because Of q conflict with
United States fishing fleets.
Greater Policy Voice
One effort to deal with the
whole range Of United States
South American issues involved
in the Alliance program has re-
suited in the recent creation of
q seven-nation committee to
give the Latin governments a
greater voice in policies and
operations.
The first effect Of this new
step undoubtedly will be to
concentrate the pressures on
Washington to speed UP Al
lance operations and to reduce
United States terms for aSSis-
lance. But the new mechanism
will also give the United States
a better opportunity to prod
Latin American governments
into making greater contrib
utions.
The result may be to get the
Alliance moving more produc-
lively and give it more mean
ing. At least 1t may work more
as a partnership and less as a
United States-dictated pro-
gram. That should improve CO.
operation with the highly ma
tionalistic Latin governments.
Nationalism Is the most pow
erful force In South American
politics today. It stands as q
bulwark against the Commun-
lists drive to expand beyond
Cuba, and 1t Is the reason Fidel
Castro so quickly lost prestige
in South America after the
United States-Soviet missile
crisis last year exposed him as
a Kremlin puppet.
But nationalism also irritates
relations between South Ameri-
can countries and the United

cas- highest literacy rate, Sc
per cent. Chile and Uruguay,
like Argentina, are oriented to
Europe.
This Spanish tradition runs
most strongly in the Andean
mountain countries, where the
original conquiStadores built
their capital at what Is now
Lima, Peru. In these countries
including Peru, Ecuador, b.
livia and Colombia-the domi-
nant sport is bull-fighting, pol
itical differences easily develop
into feuds, illiteracy is high be-
cause of the long-suppressed
Indian populations and the gap
between rich and poor is wide.
Yet there are characteristics
in common among the South
American countries, especially
when seen from as far away as
Washington. One is the Cargo
yer Of the feudal concept-now
apparently fading-that gov
ernments exist for the benefit
Of the governors. This notion
still seems strong in Brazil,
where the main purpose Of pol
itics Is frequently personal ad-
vantage.
Highly Personal Politics
Brazilian President Joao
Goulart is known as a leftist
with Communist links. Yet he
is also an extremely wealthy
rancher. He has made land re-
form the central theme Of his
political doctrine, but he has
become one Of the greatest
landowners In the country.
Brazil's preoccupation with
politics of this highly personal
kind has been q source of des-
pair to United States policy
makers. who worry about the
future of Latin Americas most
populouS nation. Americans, in
fact, worry more than Brazili-
ans, who cheerfully make q
parlor game Of speculations
about corruption in govern
ment.
Corruption and Irresponsible
ty are frequently among the
charges leveled by a new Latin
government at its predecessor.
Sometimes they are among the
reasons given by military lead
ers for ousting civilian admin
iStrationS.
Military Seizures
The practice Of military seiz-
ureS of power is another gener-
al Latin Observation-Disclosures
that will not be quickly aban-
doned.
The reasons for this were de-
veloped in two interviews with
military leaderS-Argentina's
army commander, Gen. Juan
Carlos Ongania, and the presi-
dent and three members Of the
military junta ruling Ecuador.
Because he stood up for de-
during political crises

III 1907, GeIl. OIlgdIlld Is more
responsible than any other
man for the fact that Argen-
tina is ruled today by an elected
civilian president. DR.. Arturo
U. lila. Gen. Ongania said,
nevertheless, that there are
times that action of the PreSi-
dent or of the Congress or even
of the judiciary may, over a
long period. result in a matter
of national security"
The armed forces in Argen-
tina, he added. are responsible
or internal and external secur-
ity."
Sometimes Inevitable"
He made it clear, without d.
rectly saying so, that when the
military leaders decide the
country is threatened by an In
ept civilian administration, q
weakness toward communism,
or a return to Peronism, they
will move in-and there Is no
force to stop them.
In Quito, Ecuador, Rear Ad-
miral Ramon Castro Jijon,
president of the junta, was
asked why military rule was
necessary.
I'VE do not believe that such
rule is necessary" Admiral
Castro replied. but sometimes
1t is inevitable"
He and his associates, two
army generals and an air force
colonel, ousted Carlos Julio
Arosmena Monroy last July,
saying his lax leadership had
let communism gain q foothold
in the countryside.
The junta has now commit
ted itself to a sweeping reform
program, including the return
to power of a freely elected
government. 1t has no inten-
ton of handing the presiden-
tial palace back to civilian &C.
cupants until it has finished
with the reform program,
which may take two years or
more.
The situation in Ecuador de-
fines the issue Of Latin mill
tary rule as 1t must be faced by
the United Statesmen accord
ing to the preferences Of ideal
lists in Washington, but accord
ing to the realities Of South
American politics.
Lacked Stable Democracy
The central fact about Ecua-
dor in this respect Is that It.
lacked a stable democracy I'M
der an orderly succession Of
responsible leaders.
The junta contends it took
power because Of Mr.. AroSeme-
mas default and that it Is
building a new base for democ-
racy. The United States had
the choice Of breaking contact
with the militarists or main
tanning its diplomatic ties and
trying to encourage a return to
civilian rule. In this case, the
United States chose to keep
contact.
Much Of the pressure on the
United States to crusade
against rule by junta has come
from President Romulo Betan-
court Of Venezuela. who saw
the cost Of one-man military
dictatorship at first hand.
Mr.. Betancourt says his ex-
perience has proved that politi-
cal extremes in Latin America
work together to try to destroy
democracy. Yet he Is convinced
that the fight for democracy
can be won, even against Red
terrorism, if elected political
leaders will carry through re-
forms designed to share the
national income among more
people and to raise living
standards.
1.-THE effort In this decade to
face these problems is
Mr.. Betancourt said,
but the experience Of Vene-
zuela demonstrates 1t can be
done"
Communism Is to some de-
gree a problem in every Latin
country. The decline

traditional threat Of 9 Com
munist rise to power by Subver-
sion and conspiracy-or by le-
gal means-haS been eliminat-
ed.
One Of the most serious Red
dangers exists In Chile, where
the Reds may rise TO power le-
gally. The party has teamed
with Socialists to back Saliva
dore Allende in the next presi-
Dental election. Mr.. Allende
missed election by only 10000 |
votes in 1858. The man who
then defeated him, President |
Jorge Alessandri Rodriguez,
could likely defeat him again. |
But under the Chilean consti- !
tuition, Mr.. Alessandri cannot |
succeed himself. Chilean politi- !
clans are specializing on several !
possible manuevers to assure
Mr.. Allende's defeat.
Healthy Political Approach
One way. they say, would be
to change the constitution so
Mr.. Alessandri can run again |
Oatin Americans are much |
more casual about changing |
their Constitutions than are
North Americans. Another
possibility Is to get several |
nom Communist candidates to
join forces in support Of one
candidate instead Of dividing
their strength. A third poSSibil- |
ity, II all else fails, would be
for the military to take over
the government.
Mr.. AleSsandri declined to
talk specifically about the
Communist problem in his
country. But he talked about
politics in a manner significant
for much of South America. |
What he said was noteworthy
particularly because he is
claSsed as a conservative al
though he has run a reform
administration. He declared he
has found that people are
tired Of old-fashioned. sterile
politics and hungry for a
healthy political approach to
basic national problems"
The formula he described for
political success was at the OPP
posite end Of the spectrum
from the politics as usual"
policy Mr.. Goulart seems to be
following in Brazil. 1t may be
taken hopefully as q measure
Of the change coming over
South America that new preSi-
dents in both Argentina and
Peru also spoke out in inter-
views about their hopes for
solving basic national prob
lens.
Mr.. Alessandri put forward
two ideas for change in the Al
lance for Progress. He said
that, years ago when Latin
countries borrowed directly
from banks in New York, they
developed private enterprise.
Now with virtually all United
, States financial help coming
, from the Washington Govern
!, ment, Latin countries spend
major sums on public works,
even when private companies
might be more effective. Mr..
Alessandri wondered II the
United States could not find
ways to make possible more
private development In Latin
America.
