Abstract
Description
Enclosed with No. 1777. on April 2 after leaving conference hall to attend committee meeting, Senator [Dennis] Chavez stopped to talk to a reporter; after a few minutes, thinking Chavez might wish to break away, reminded him it was time for the meeting; in very offensive language he said he would be responsible for that, and following down hall, that he knew the State Department breed and didn't intend to be shoved around by them; was later told by another delegate that Chavez was penitent and realized he lost his temper; his behavior thus far has not won him the respect and support of other delegates.
