Spanish Delegate Jose Felix de Lequerica sprang shouting to his feet, treating Khrushchev to a taste of the same medicine he had administered to Macmillan. Furiously, Khrushchev babbled on, ignoring both Lequerica and the gaveling of Assembly President Boland, until at last he noticed that his microphone had been turned off and translation of his speech discontinued. To Boland's gentle reminder that it was out of order to make personal attacks on another chief of state, Khrushchev snarled: "What would happen to the U.N. if you do not admit China and if we were to go away from...
...Rejected Rejection. Roa did not even bat an eye. He told the Brazilian envoy that his televised remarks were "correct judgments based on concrete facts." He called Argentina's protest "malicious," sneered that the "dignity of Argentina was defended at San Jose by the delegation from Cuba and not by the delegation from Argentina."

The chief characteristic is supposed to be plain statements to peoples over the heads of their governments...

"mandate" over the Dominican Republic. Herter seized on the idea, hurriedly turned it into his proposal for an OAS democratizing committee, and presented it to the conference. In effect, he improvised an unprecedented recognition of the authority and power of two-thirds of the hemisphere nations to supervise the affairs of a single member nation if it strays from democratic standards. The move was aimed at Trujillo, but if OAS-supervised elections became...
Herter's proposal failed, mostly because he sprang it as a surprise. What worries the U.S. is that while sanctions alone may topple Trujillo. it may leave a vacuum to be filled by Communists and Dominican sympathizers of Fidel Castro. Yet in San Jose, Herter found Venezuela's Arcaya unshakably determined to demand maximum sanctions...
