INTERNATIONAL GAMES USED AS TRAINING COVER | . (8) (GP-1) The Latin American University gomes held in Havana from 7 to 21 Oetober 1962, at vhich thirteen countries vere represented, allegedly were used by the Cubsn Government as an opportunity to indoctrivate » end train a number of Latin American students. Several Selvaderean athhetes reportedly took no part in the games but spent their tine in training classes for "Socialist revolution" conducted by Cuban instructors. A number of athletes. fron other wiepecified countries followed the same schedule, HQ OST COMMENT: (C) (Gp-l) Such events es this competition supple- ments the vast treining program conducted in Cuba. Meany of the partici-~ pants in the 1960 conference of the Commmist front World Federation of Democratic Youth (WPOY) in Havana stayed behind to take part in a “work cemp" sponsored by the WFDY dn the Cierra Mlestras. Attendance at such events may algo serve es cover for Party travel and other personnel previously selected for specialized training. ‘the events also served to promote the image of Cuba ag a major regional Coummist stronghold. (SCEB, Vol XI, #2h, 28 November 1962) OSE COMMENT: (8) (Gp-1) As was noted in the Panama section of this veport, one of the Panamanians returning to Panema from the games carried with him a book entitled "Firing Memel" concerned with the care and handling of small arms.
