Kudryavstev passed the word that Moscow is not entirely pleased with Castro's systematic alienation of Latin America, and has urged him to ease off. Khrushchev has also made clear that his hopes for friendly relations with U.S. President-elect John Kennedy are more important to him than Castro's feelings, and has warned Castro to confine his anti-U.S. attacks to the "Government" of President Eisenhower.
