Top-Level Attention

One hurry-up half hour after he greeted brother Dwight at Washington National Airport last week, returning Fact-Finder Milton Eisenhower gave out the "urgent" gist of the recommendations he will make as a result of his Central American swing. The U.S., he said, should consider:

P: "The imperative need for loans--not grants--in every country visited."*

P: A response "to the appeal of Latin American nations for more stable relationships between raw-commodity prices and the prices of manufactured products."

P:"The urgent and immediate need to bring about throughout the hemisphere a clear, accurate understanding of U.S. policies, purposes, programs and capabilities."

Milton had hardly returned before Secretary of State John Foster Dulles flew to Rio de Janeiro for a two-day visit in Brazil this week. Topic A with Brazilian President Juscelino Kubitschek will be the high-level meeting of American nations Kubitschek suggested after U.S. Vice President Nixon was stoned and spat on in Lima and Caracas last May. At first Kubitschek suggested a hemispheric summit conference, but after Dulles rejected the notion of a ''meeting on a get-together basis of heads of government," the Brazilian President agreed that no more time should be wasted in talking about the conference's level--the important thing was "to make contact with the problem." Now likely: a well-prepared conference of foreign ministers.
