debate in which the delegate

of the Dominican Republic ac

cused Cuba and Venezuela of

participating in invasions of

and on a charge that 3,000 men

are being trained in Cuba to

attack his country.

At the emergency session

yesterday Foreign Minister

Raul Roa of Cuba angrily de

clared that the Dominican Re

ship which accuses two Ameri

can governments of illegal ac

tivities.

The other American govern

ment is Venezuela. The Domin

that a plane used to invade his

country was furnished by Vene

zuela authorities.

"Lying” Charged

1 Mr Roa, who has served as

the OAS ambassador of Ou>”n

Prime Minister Fidel Castro,

labeled the Dominican com

plaint as a "lying note." Mr

Roa declared the purpose of the

Dominican note was to create

an unfavorable international

situation for Cuba when his

country is trying to make a

comeback after overthrowing

the regime of dictator Fulgen

cio Batista.

Ambassador Ft.lcon Briceno

of Venezuela joined Mr. Roa in

his criticism of the Dominican

Republic’s plea and categorical

ly opposed invocation of the

Rio Treaty.

United States Ambassador

John Dreier told the OAS Coun

cil that this government re

gards the Carribbean situation

as urgent but, he added, a ma

jority of delegates do not yet

have instructions.

He said a prompt decision is

desirable but he advocated a

postponement until the OAS

delegates could consult their

governments.
