(Continued from page 1) his cabinet into session to discuss the problem and the position of British shipping.
The London Times called the Soviet Missile arming of Cuba an "astonishing provocation" against the United States.
WEST GERMANY. A foreign ministry spokesman said Chancellor Konrad Adenauer's government "welcomes the determination" in Washington to meet the "dangers" stemming from the Cuban crisis.
FRANCE. Government sources said they were only "half astonished" at the blockade. There was no immediate formal government statement and diplomatic sources said this might signify French disapproval. The newspaper Figaro said, however, that Kennedy's action might serve "as a warning to the Kremlin to make it reflect on the consequences of an initiative that the Soviet Union might . . . take in Berlin."
LATIN AMERICA
Kennedy's statement was headline news throughout Latin America, but there was little immediate official reaction. U.S. ambassadors throughout the hemisphere called on presidents and other officials to discuss the situation. Treasury secretary Douglas Dillon was preparing to return to Washington from the new-world finance ministers meeting in Mexico City, four days ahead of schedule.
One Latin American official who tried to persuade Dillon to remain in Mexico for at least another 24 hours said the secretary told him he had to return at once "because we may be in a nuclear war before the week is over."
Jose A. Mora, secretary general of the organization of American States, U. S., OAS ambassador De Lesses Morris and other officials of the Organization also headed for Washington from Mexico City to attend today's meeting of the OAS Council.
NICARAGUA. Officials and private citizens alike praised the energetic tone of Kennedy's statement. Cuban refuge leader Luis Martinez said "There is no choice but to support Kennedy and if necessary to die for the principles he is defending.
VENEZUELA. Military authorities reinforced guards at the U.S. Embassy and other American premises in anticipation of an outbreak of Communist-led violence. No disorders were reported immediately.
COSTA RICA. The Costa Rican Congress overwhelmingly endorsed a motion approving Kennedy's stand in speeches on the floor, although a filibuster by the legislatures's one pro-Castro member, Julio C. Sunol, prevented a vote on the measure last night.
Labor Party Has Competitor
PERU. U.S. Charge D'affaires Douglas Henderson conferred with Gen. Ricardo Perez Godoy, president of Peru's military junta government, and other junta leaders. There was no immediate comment.
DERBY, England — Underwear model Fay Patmore, one of several young ladies modeling women's lingerie across the street from an address by Labor Party Leader Hugh Gaitskell:
"I've never had so much attention in my life. I wonder how Mr. Gaitskell got on?"
COLOMBIA. Kennedy's speech was broadcast by Colombian radio stations—a rare occurrence—and millions of Colombians listened with tense interest. President Guillermo L. Valencia called a special meeting of his cabinet to listen to the speech.
ASIA
America's Asian allies, although remote from the immediate scene of the crisis, were quick to understand the problem because of their own troubles with Communism.
Japan. The Japanese foreign office, in an "unofficial statement issued after Ambassador Edwin O. Reischauer filled in Premier Hayato Ikeda, said Japan had watched the Soviet military buildup in Cuba with concern and "we believe that the U.S. action taken at this time was an unavoidable step. . ."
Korea. Strongman Gen. Park Chung Hee declared the Republic of Korea was "ready to give every possible support and cooperation to the efforts of the free camp to crush the agressive acts of Communist imperialists not only in Cuba but anywhere in the world.
Australia. Prime Minister Robert Menzies told the house of representatives in Canberra that "President Kennedy had exposed the deceit practiced by the Soviet Union, and its determination by threat of aggression to terrorize nations whose only wish is for peace. We commend the President's statement."

Ship Crash May Take 21 Lives

Eleven persons are known to have died in the flaming crash and 10 seamen still are missing.
Fragments of four bodies were found on board the tanker, The Boheme, last night. Authorities said they were parts of nine bodies taken from the ship over the week-end. The whereabouts of 10 missing seamen remained a mystery.
Fjell was one of two seamen taken to the New Orleans hospital following the collision. Six other persons were hospitalized in St. James Parish Hospital, but have since been released.
One body, that of second mate Hans Wollensen of Copenhagen, Denmark, was found shortly after the pre-dawn collision near here. Nine other bodies were taken from the charred ruins of the ship after the fires were distinguished. Last night, 17-year-old Kjell Fjell, Rena, Norway, died in the U.S. Public Health Hospital in New Orleans.
The accident between The Boheme and the tugboat Bonny D occurred about 4 a.m. Saturday. The tug rammed the Boheme twice. The tanker erupted into a flaming volcano. Members of the crew spilled over the side of the ship, swimming through flaming water to shore.
Coast Guardsmen who fought the fires on the Boheme said unless the bodies of the 10 missing persons are
found in the river, they may never be recovered. Workers were busy emptying compartments partially filled with water last night in an effort to locate more of the missing seamen.
And while the search continued for more victims, New Orleans Mayor Victor H. Schiro urged federal agencies to investigate river traffic regulations.
"What happened Saturday was absolutely inexcusable," he said at a news conference. "It is time now that we realize the danger of this situation."
