Senate To Study
Relations With
Latin America
WASHINGTON, UP) — The Sen
ate Foreign Relations Committee
Tuesday ordered a full-fledged
inquiry into U. S.-Latin American
relations in the wake of attacks
on Vice President Nixon.
The study was assigned to a
subcommittee headed by Sen.
Wayne Morse (D-Ore).
Sen. Francis Green (D-RI),
chairman of the full committee,
said the investigation was voted
without objection, on Morse’s
motion.
The action was taken shortly
after Morse told reporters the
State Department’s own testi
mony shows that Nixon’s mob
molested South American tour
was a “trouble causing trip”
Morse said the Vice President
shovld not have undertaken.
Morse gave his views to re
porters as the committee weighed
testimony that Communist ex
ploitation of Latin American
grievances against U. S. economic
policies fanned mob violence
against the Vice President arid
Mrs. Nixon.
Robert Murphy, deputy under
secretary of state for political
affairs, made that report to the
Senators Monday. He said Nixon
was told in advance that there
was danger of disturbances in
Venezuela, but added that “on the
heels of assurances by the Vene
zuelan government of its secur
ity measures, violence in Caracas
was not anticipated.”
