...limited war of their own without an American by-your-leave. But this hazard is small compared with the value of training Communist-threatened allies in countering the Communists' favorite infiltration tactic. One new project in the works with an eye cocked toward Castro's Cuba: a branch school for counterguerrilla instruction, to be set up in the Canal Zone. By training Latin Americans in the skills of guerrilla warfare, the U.S. hopes to put teeth into President Kennedy's promise "to work with our sister Republics to free the Americas of all foreign domination and tyranny...

...favor of debating the admission of Red China. Characteristically, Jânio held back his hole card-whether he actually favors Peking's admission to the U.N. But even his endorsement of debate on the stormy issue makes Brazil the first hemisphere country outside Castro's Cuba to buck U.S. policy on China. Coming from Latin America's biggest nation. Jânio's move might well make it more difficult for the U.S. to hold the other republics in line...
