"I shall have greater confidence that we will keep from war, if Adlai Stevenson becomes our U.N. representative," Eleanor Roosevelt told the International Student Association last night.

Stevenson's decision to wait until Kennedy selects his Secretary of State before accepting the post is "very sensible," Mrs. Roosevelt declared. Successful utilization of the U.N. requires close rapport between the State Department and the manent American delegation.

The appointment of Senator Fulbright as Secretary of State would constitute serious mistake, according to Mrs. Roosevelt. Although Fulbright privately discribes to liberal ideas, she said, he has been unable to escape the taint of the hern segregationists.

Kennedy unquestionably owes a debt gratitude to the South for his election, he stated, "but Governor Hodges having an appointed to the cabinet, I should think that would be enough."

A paramount problem for the new Administration, Mrs. Roosevelt observed, is Cuban situation and, for that matter, entire Latin American area. "It is defectly understandable why the Cubans hostile," she said, "for we have suped a government which clearly signi oppression to the people."

Castro "Temporary"

Castro's present popularity with the Cuban people, Mrs. Roosevelt predicted, only a temporary phenomenon. Once the initial satisfaction with a higher standard of living has worn off, irritation the lack of personal freedom will ep in."

Relations between the United States Latin America have often been acterized by a "pile-up of unfortunate at times, almost childish accusa," Mrs. Roosevelt noted. Greater ts must therefore be made to appre the cultural differences and peculiar omic problems of the Spanish-Americans.
