Casino Conference. The Presidents will find Punta del Este a delightful place in which to deliberate. A peninsula 85 miles east of Montevideo, it has miles of glittering beaches, pine-dotted lawns and flaming hydrangeas. The busy summer season-late November to March-has just ended, but an influx of 2,100 security guards, 1,800 newsmen and 2,000 diplomats and aides will make up for the departed vacationers. During the four days at Punta del Este, President Johnson is staying in a seaside white chalet called Beaulieu, which has been put at his disposal free of charge...
...drab, two-story building on Montevideo's bustling Boulevard España looks as quiet as a convent. It is hardly that. Inside is the Soviet Union's biggest embassy in Latin America and the clearinghouse for Soviet propaganda and subversion in the Southern Hemisphere. Up to now, the Uruguayan government has never bothered to interfere. But suddenly last week Uruguay's ruling nine-man National Council cracked down, ordering four Soviet embassy officers out of the country and serving notice on the others to watch their step...
...Schwalb, who was filling in for President Fernando Belaúnde Terry.

Predictably, the five denied any such intention. "We are not trying to create an economic...
...Council recently asked the National Assembly to authorize another $94 million in new currency. Last week the Council had to settle for only $28 million-"barely enough," snorted Finance Minister Daniel H. Martins, "to cover our needs until September." Many Uruguayans agreed. University students demonstrated angrily in downtown Montevideo, and thousands of government employees staged a series of brief protest strikes. Uruguay's immediate object in sending its eight-man mission north is to get $56 million in U.S. commercial debts rescheduled and to arrange for additional loans. The country's past record has made Washington leary. Before...
...reported that Reuters had "dismissed as the work of a crank" an anonymous letter giving the first news of the death of Herberts Cukurs in Montevideo [March 19]. I would not like our sources, even anonymous ones, to think that we do not treat their tip-offs seriously. Our Montevideo man was on the job within minutes after the letter was received by our Bonn office. The trouble was that the letter gave a nonexistent address, and it was not until the following weekend that more precise information led to the murder chalet...
