Conference Ends on Note Of Success
Rio de Janeiro AP reports the conference of 19 American teens concludes with groundwork for a regional overhaul. Chief U S delegate Harriman calls it historically significant as it backs incorporating social and economic Alliance for Progress principles into an OAS charter. An Economic and Social Act of Rio de Janeiro was approved by acclamation, outlining mutual security, cooperation and trade aims and a path to a Latin American common market. The act urges equitable land use, better cities, price stability, inflation control, fair prices, and market access, with developed nations aiding less advanced neighbors. The two measures await Buenos Aires talks next July for charter incorporation.
