WASHINGTON (President
Kennedy has ordered a major
economic crackdown on ship-
ping between the' Communist
bioc ond Cuba and the action
pregrnmis expected to be put
inte effect in ten days or two
weeks.
One effect of the policy deci-
sions would be to close U.S.
ports to Soviet shipping be-
cacne Soviet vessel:; are used
toj deliver arms to Cuba
This is a symbolic gesture
since Soviet flag vessels very
seldom call at American ports,
but it may have considerable
hmmpaet on iereign understanding
of U.S. concern about the Red
arms buildup in Cuba.
The move, which has been un
Jcr study for some time would
be th' first action by the Unit-
id States following Wednesday
night’s unanimous inter-Ameri-
can foreign ministers’ condemn-
ation of the Soviet-supported
Fidel Castro regime in Cuba.
Secretary of State Dean Rus)
and 19 Latin-American foreign
ministers agreed unanimously
that "the Sino-Soviet interven-
tion in Cuba" constitutes "an
attempt to convert the island in-
to an armed base for Com-
munist penetration of the Am-
ericas " They called on all
countries to consider urgent
measures to deny goods and
shipping to Cuba and to build
up new security measures
against the danger of Commu-
nist aggression
Rusk told the Latin-American
ministers—and the State De-
partment sent word to North
Atlantic Treaty Organization
allies—that the United States is
planning to take immedinteh
the following steps to prohibit
or discournge shipping to Cuba
