Guerrillas All Around. More or less the same thing goes on in other Latin American countries. In Peru, 2,000 government troops have been chasing 1,300 guerrillas through the highlands for six months. In Colombia, Castro's man is Pedro Antonio Marin, 35, a bandit-turned-Communist who leads 100 guerrillas responsible for dozens of rural murders. In Guatemala, Marco Antonio Yon Sosa, 34, a onetime army lieutenant with U.S. training, leads a 150-man band that recently bushwhacked an army patrol, killing two soldiers...

In the 13 Latin American countries on which the FAO keeps figures, a minimum intake of 2,200 calories a day is met in only eight-Argentina, Brazil, Venezuela, Peru, Chile, Mexico, Paraguay and Uruguay.

More disturbing still, Latin America's food production is slipping behind its population growth-to the point where this year's projected per capita production will...

...past several months Castro has felt the results of a Havana meeting of Latin American Communist leaders last November, at which Moscow demanded, and Castro agreed, that Cuba channel its subversion through existing orthodox Communist parties-with a few notable exceptions, such as in Venezuela, Colombia and Guatemala. This now gives the Russians better control of purse strings and operating methods. The Havana meeting also laid out a list of likely present and future targets. Among them: Honduras, El Salvador, Panama, Haiti, the Dominican Republic, Peru, Paraguay and British Guiana...
...that the Castroite FALN terrorists do not shoot a cop in Caracas, dynamite an oil pipeline, or raid some remote village. Last week one band clashed with government troops 200 miles south of Caracas, and when the shooting was over two guerrillas and two soldiers were dead. In neighboring Colombia, long troubled by a siege of backlands banditry, President Guillermo Leon Valencia's biggest headache is "Sure Shot" Pedro Antonio Marin, 35, who leads some 100 guerrillas and killed 17 people on one recent backlands raid. Another 150 guerrillas are operating in the Guatemala countryside, the most important group...
