Through an interpreter, Benjamin Cohen, one of the most able translators #h Washington, and a special arrange- ment of earphones and a portable tele- hone, delegates and newspaper men re kept in immediate touch with de- elopments, no matter what language éa_v be used. The man behind the lephone_or microphone is the all-im- rtant link in the chain of com- unication. s In the great conference room at the -American Union the delegates sit a large square at a long table run- ing on three sides of the room.

On the tables at which the dele- ates sit_are small ear telephone re- ivers, which 'y may clamp to their jeads.

From a lengthy experience with uth American affairs he is able to ep abreast of the latest developments in Latin America. This is his second important post at an international nference.
