Documents on the Costa Rica crisis have been sent to the Senate Foreign Relations Committee for examination. Senator Williams will chair a special subcommittee to probe American dealings with Costa Rica and other Latin American nations, amid sensational charges of a U S corporation backing Tinoco and similar activities elsewhere. Former Costa Rican leaders Gonzales and Tinoco figures, plus Cuban disputes, enter the inquiry as it broadens to assess U S sincerity, trade depredations, and German influence concerns.
