Kennedys Start
First Leg of Visit to
Venezuela and Colombia
WASHINGTON C0 — President
Kennedy and his wife took off
today on the first leg of a flying
weekend visit to Venezuela and
Colombia to point up U.S. pledges
of aid for Latin-America devel
opment.
As they boarded their plane,
the President and First Lady were
smiling and apparently uncon
cerned about protest demonstra
tions in Venezuela—some of them
violent—against their visit.
Saturday the Presidential party,
which includes several US. of
ficials will fly on to Caracas, the
Venezuelan capital, scene of
armed anti-US. outbreaks in re
cent days. On Sunday, the Ken
nedys will go on to Bogota, Col
ombia.
This is Kennedy’s first trip to
Latin America as President. The
aim is to dramatize the Alliance
for Progress, his 10-year, $20-bil
lion program for economic and
social advancement in the nations
to the south.
The official view is that the
“Kennedy no” demonstrations are
actions of radical minorities which
will be controlled by stable gov
ernments and overwhelmed pop
ular welcome.
Shortly before Kennedy left the
White House, it was disclosed he
had talked by telephone with Vice
President Lyndon Johnson, who is
in Texas, and had arranged for
Johnson to be kept posted on all
matters of importance while he
President is away.
But officials said no significance
was to be attached to this in re
lation to the anti-U.S. demonstra
tions.
