EXPECT CASTRO TO RETURN TODAY
Washington February 3 President Castro is expected to return to Caracas tomorrow from his tour of the country. He submitted to Minister Bowen an objectionable proposition for settling the American claims against Venezuela. Bowen, by state department direction, hastened to handle the submission. The minister found it impossible in the president's absence to carry out the instructions. No progress toward arbitration was evident. Much depends on Castro's attitude and willingness to meet the American minister halfway to resolve the issues.
