tors probing the Soviet bulld-up
in Cuba have gathered conyinc-
ing evidence that there is a ris-
ing Communist guerrilla threat

link was turned over to the Sen
ate Armed Services Prepared

that the subversiye activities Of
the Castro regime have greatly
increased in Latin A m e + c a

of Soviet medium range missiles
from Cuba.

furtherest in his warning. He
startled the senators by report
ing that these Cuban-suprorted
guerrilla activities could develop
into "a serious danger for the
U. S. as well as a number of
American republics. unless pre-
tentative measures are taken
soon. -"

teurs and Communist guerl-illas
were trained in Cuba during the
past - months and are now at
work in Latin countries carry
