...extraordinary factory that Venezuela's President Raul Leoni went out to visit 20 miles from Caracas. Arriving at the site carved out of a hillside, he was shown around a one-story building and cautioned to follow his guides closely: the area was infested with booby traps. The place was a well-equipped munitions plant turning out everything from mortar shells to land mines for Castroite F.A.L.N. terror ists-thus proving once again Fidel Castro's determination to rip the hemisphere with Communist "wars of national liberation...
...tarnished image, as Moscow has been urging. There is even some suspicion that Castro may hope to use the refugees as an opening gambit in a campaign to establish a sort of Moscow-style peaceful coexistence with the U.S. But that was hardly borne out by Cuban Foreign Minister Raul Roa's haranguing U.N. speech last week, in which he announced plans for an Afro-Asian-Latin American conference in Havana next January to discuss joint action against "Yanqui Imperialism...
...like Castro, everybody else in Cuba is getting dull. Younger Brother Raul, Cuba's armed forces chief, who used to give a pretty noisy speech, now works in the background as quietly as any Russian general. President Osvaldo Dorticos sometimes does not even bother to accept the credentials of new ambassadors, shunting the chore instead to an assistant. As Russification grows, Cuba's bureaucracy is now overlaid by yet another bureaucracy. Two years ago, the P.U.R.S., Cuba's Communist Party, organized a special branch to provide political commissars in the military, factories and national education system...
...central Escambray Mountains and in Castro's old Sierra Maestra stamping grounds. They face the full might of a 200,000-man army (plus 100,000 militia reserves) equipped with the best of everything Russian, including supersonic MIG-21s based outside of Havana. They also face Raul Castro, who used to be quite a guerrilla fighter himself but now heads the counterinsurgency operations and treats it as rather a sport...
...Castro technique offers an interesting example for anti-guerrilla students everywhere. When a guerrilla band turns up in Cuba, Raul smothers the area with as many as 5,000 troops. All civilians are removed, along with cattle, chickens and other sources of food; homes and barns are destroyed, wells filled in, fences pulled down. Then the troops sweep forward, much as beaters at a rabbit hunt. When the guerrillas are caught, they are shot; if they own land, it is confiscated. Their children become wards of the state, are separated from their mothers and placed in Castro training schools...
