The U.S. agrees wholeheartedly with these hopes: they grew in part from the loans-and-aid recommendations of Milton Eisenhower, who toured Latin America a year ago on behalf of the President.

One disgruntled hotelman pointed to a big stack of empty whisky bottles beside his back veranda and sighed: "That...
...version of the incident, said U.S. Ambassador Charles Bohlen, "is in such flagrant contradiction of the facts that I am sure the Soviet Foreign Ministry will wish to change it." Even after a personal call from Bohlen, however, Foreign Minister Molotov showed no such disposition.
