Armed forces of both coun- tries stood in combat readiness as Soviet vessels were reported approaching Caribbean waters where a circle of United States navy ships cruised outside Cu- ban waters; ready to stop and search all vessels trying to reach the island. The Soviet government called the blockade a "provocative move, an unheard of violation of international law, a chal- lenge to all peace-loving na- tions." But Britain's Foreign Secre- tary Lord Home said the U.S. was "right to let the world see "We will never surrender our independence and sovreign right to let only whom we want into our territory." He claimed '"'all the acts of the moment are the culmination of U.S. policies," and attributed the present tension to the fail- ure of the U.S. "aggressor's"'| policy on Cuba. ue Implying that the only in- plainly what is being done by |the Communists under their noses" ue | The Briish cabinet expressed |"deep concern at the provoca- |tive action of the Soviet Union jir placing offensive weapons in| Cuba."

Dean said there should be no mistake that the Soviet buildup of missiles bases in Cuba is the issue before the council and not the right of the U.S. government to take such action as it con- siders necessary for its own de- fence and that of the free world. Dean spoke after Venezuela's Carlos Sosa-Rodriguez told the council the weapons "being stockpiled in Cuba are sufficient to annihilate all of us." WORRIED ABOUT BUILDUP The exient of Latin America's worry about the Soviet. buildup of Premier Fidel Castro's nu- clear power was clearly indi- cated by the resolution passed by the Organization of Ameri- can States, authorizing the use of force if necessary to enforce @ naval blockade announced by President Kennedy. Sosa-Rodriguez declared the Soviet weapons in Cuba were no onger defensive, but were a threat to the entiré*hemisphers. He demanded that the council take action to halt the ship- ment of offensive weapons and to dismantle the missile bases already built. MUST REBUILD WORLD Dean said: "We are faced today with a most serious act of reckless- ness. . . . The outcome of our deliberations here will deter- mine whether peoples of the world can retain their respect for the United Nations. . . Somehow we must rebuild the world envisaged by the UN charter. ... : "We have never denied the right of the Cuban people to choose their own regime and to playing with thermonuclear war and he Antroduced a resolution asking the council to insist that) ; the U.S. "invalidate" its naval quarantine of Cuba.

BLASTS KENNEDY Ambassador Mario Garcia-In- chaustegui of Cuba said there is only one foreign base in his country, the U.S. base at Guan- tanamo. He charged that Presi- dent Kennedy committed a "criminal act" by instituting tht quarantine which amounted to "aggression, boycott and sab- otage" against a small neigh. bor. "We ask fot the immediate wal of all ships and Planes 'sent toward tis . . . we ask for a cessation of all inter- ventionist measures," the Cu- ban ambassador said. If the UN did not halt 'United States intimidation,¢it will see the world thrown into a nuclear war in which the United Na- tions itself will bt extermi- nated." In a development outside the Security Council, 45 smaller countries of Africa, Europe, Asia and Latin America met Tuesday night and decided to -}ask Acting Secretary-General U Thant to try to prevent a worse US.-Soviet collision over Cuba. oe % VICE ADMIRAL Alfred Ward is in charge of a special U.S. naval task force which has been created to screen shipping lanes to Cuba, De- fence Secretary McNamara said in Washington Tuesday.
