Officials Say U.S. Reducing Communist Threat To Latins
WASHINGTON'—(UPI)—A top State Department official said today Latin America faces great dangers from Communist subversion, but "no country now seems likely to succumb in the foreseeable future."
Assistant Secretary of State Edwin M. Martin told Congressional investigators that "Headway is being made to reduce the influence and capabilities of Cuba and the Communist block, and in controlling local subversive activities of all kinds in each country."
"Further deterioration of the prestige and influence of the present regime in Cuba, and its eventual replacement by a government freely chosen by the Cuban people, will contribute materially to reducing the
threat but will not eliminate it," Martin said.
The assessment was given to a House Foreign Affairs subcommittee as it opened a three-week inquiry into the growth and dangers of Communist subversive activities in the hemisphere, emanating largely from Cuba.
The hearing followed a weekend of more Congressional debate over the United States, policies toward Cuba.
In a statement launching the House hearings, Chairman Armistead Selden, D-Ala., said Havana is serving as "the staging and jumping-off point" for Red agents of all types.
