PUNTA DEL ESTE, Uruguay (AP) Cuban economic czar Ernesto Guevara tried to open the door today to Communist advisers for President Kennedy's $20-billion alliance for progress but ran into a stone wall.
Delegates from the other 20 American nations at the Inter-American Economic Conference brushed aside Guevara's proposals and the committee unanimously approved a 1,000-word "declaration to the peoples of America" summing up the new program of economic aid and self-help for Latin America.
The declaration is an abridgement of the 3,000-word charter of Punta Del Este which sets forth the principles of the program in detail. The shorter declaration was drawn up with the idea that it could be more easily understood by Latin America's masses.
There was speculation whether Guevara would sign for Cuba. But other Latin American delegates said even if he did, the U.S.-controlled agencies that will handle the bulk of the financing won't advance any funds to Cuba.
