...Along the sea wall in Santo Domingo crowds hopefully awaited the return of U.S. Navy warships, which once before guaranteed the republic's budding democracy. But in Washington, with the Punta del Este meeting on Cuba about to begin, President Kennedy decided on less conspicuous muscle flexing. U.S. Charge d'Affaires John Calvin Hill Jr., who was in Washington to advise on resuming help to the Dominicans, was sent back to his post with orders to put pressure on Rodriguez Echavarria...

...Uruguayan seaside resort called Punta del Este, 21 nations of the Western Hemisphere gather this week to decide whether to censure Castro, crowd him with sanctions, or merely live in discomfort with him. Castro himself is taking the meeting seriously. Heading Cuba's 40-man delegation to the hemispheric foreign ministers' meeting is his puppet President, Osvaldo Dorticós, a traveler to Moscow who ran for local office on the Communist ticket as far back as 1948.

...Uruguay, Olivares told Chief of State Eduardo Victor Haedo that Cuba hoped that her right of "self-determination" (even without elections) would be respected at Punta del Este. Olivares de livered his message to Chile, then landed in Buenos Aires to see Frondizi. Castro's messenger was bluntly told that Frondizi was "too busy." After an hour with the Argentine Foreign Minister, Olivares marched out frozen-faced and silent. Shortly after the meeting, the Argentine Foreign Office released a pointed com muniqué repudiating Communism and ex pressing "enthusiastic support" for President Kennedy's Alliance for Progress...
