dominated, International Union of Students. Appointed "Ambassador" by Cuba on February 10, 1966. On May 31, 1966, he was appointed member of the Permanent Secretariat of AALAPSO (Afro-Asian Latin American Peoples Solidarity Organization). As such, he is directly involved in the formulation and execution of plans for fomenting subversion in the three continents with emphasis on areas of vital interest to the United States. Puerto Rico is one of these objectives. Narciso Rabell Martinez is married to a Russian, Halinga Linger who takes an active part in the efforts of her husband in subversion. She attended the Tri-Continental Conference and acts as hostess for her husband at the "embassy."

With typical Communist irony, the first statement issued by Rabell on his appointment to the AALAPSO Permanent Secretariat called for Puerto Ricans to enlist as volunteers in the Cuban "combat battalions" and emphasized that "all means should be used to prevent the use of Puerto Rican soldiers in an aggression (by the U.S.) against Cuba."

As a member of the Permanent Secretariat, Rabell left Havana on February 18, 1967, for an extended tour of África "to carry out the agreements of the Conference and to augment and give impulse to the revolutionary struggle in the three continents."

Another member of the Puerto Rican delegation to the Conference in Havana. Dr. Cordero is married to a Negro physician from the mainland reported to have been on very friendly terms with Quaison Sackey, Ghana's Ambassador to the U.N. As a result of this, Dr. Mayfield and his wife moved to Accra after the closing of the TriContinental Conference.

Perez had requested a passport to travel to Spain for the alleged purpose of continuing his studies. Actually Perez flew to New York and then used the classic route to cross the Iron Curtain. He flew to Paris and then to Prague where on July 13 he issued a statement against the draft.

"This struggle," he stated, "has mobilized (students) to a fantastic degree and the students are against it (the draft) because it signified serving as cannon fodder (in the war) against the Vietnamese patriots (Viet Cong).

"The best contribution to the Vietnamese struggle," he stated, "is to prevent that even a single Puerto Rican becomes part of aggression against this heroic people. For this reason we are so emphatically opposed to military service."

În March 1967, Perez attended the International Union of Students Congress in Ulan Bator, Mongolia. Upon his arrival in Prague, March 23, 1967, he gave several interviews and statements to the Communist press.

At 10:30 AM on April 18, 1967, Jose Varona was critically injured during an air raid in Thanh Hoa, North Vietnam. A Vietnamese student, a graduate of Havana University, Nguyen An Hao, was killed instantly, while a Dominican, Danilo Fernandez, escaped with minor injuries. Enrique Velazco, President of OCLAE and Secretary of the Federation of University Students of Cuba came through unscathed.

Late in May, Varona was transferred from Hanoi to a Moscow Hospital where his condition remains serious.

Varona, a third year student of political science at the University of Puerto Rico, actively participated in the demonstrations in support of the Communist athletes of Cuba. On May 28, 1967, Wilson Cortes Burgos, President of the Youth of MPI (he had attempted to accompany Perez Perez to Moscow, but was unable to obtain a passport. Two others, Hector Gelpi and Avelino Munoz Claudio, also failed in their attempt) issued a statement that his group would "double its efforts in the campaign against the draft in order to support the struggle of heroic Vietnam. This campaign would also be used to condemn "the bombing in which Varona was injured."

No sooner had they landed in Lima, Peru, than the Peruvian authorities expelled them and forced them to take the first flight back to Miami. Mari and Padilla took a different flight to Santiago, Chile, and continued their mission.

Representatives from Puerto Rico are sure to play an important part in the forthcoming Conference of the Latin American Solidarity Organization which will take place on July 28, 1967 in Havana.

APPENDIX I

[From Granma, Dec. 25, 1966]

SOLIDARITY WITH VIET NAM: OSPAALA URGES ACTIONS AGAINST YANKEE EMBASSIES AND BUSINESS INSTALLATIONS

A cable sent by the Executive Secretariat of the Organization of Solidarity of the Peoples of Africa, Asia and Latin America to its member organizations, through its Executive Secretariat, states as follows; "The peoples of the world have received with indignation the news of the criminal Yankee bombing of Hanoi, capital of an independent and sovereign nation. It is necessary to carry out efficient actions of support for the Vietnamese people. We ask member organizations to conduct demonstrations against U.S. embassies and Yankee-owned interests; to hold public meetings condemning and demanding an immediate end to the criminal bombing of the Democratic Republic of Vietnam; the end of aggression against the people of South Viet Nam; and the effecting of concrete activities demonstrating support and an increase in the revolutionary struggle against imperalism.'

THE EXECUTIVE SECRETARIAT OF OSPAALA.

[From Granma, Nov. 20, 1966]

OSPAALA AGREES TO SET UP TRAINING SCHOOLS FOR POLITICAL CADRES OF REVOLUTIONARY MOVEMENTS

Carrying out the objectives outlined by the first Tricontinental Conference to unite, coordinate, and intensify the revolutionary movement of the peoples of Africa, Asia, and Latin America against U.S.-led imperialism, colonialism, and neo-colonialism, and with the resolute purpose of giving effective support to the national liberation movement of the three continents, the Executive Secretariat of the Organization of Solidarity of the Peoples of Africa, Asia, and Latin America has agreed to proceed immediately to the creation of schools for the formation of political cadres for revolutionary movements.

The decision implements the resolution, approved at the Tricontinental Conference, for the creation of such schools. This is considered one of the most important tasks before the Executive Secretariat and one of the most effective contributions to the development of the revolutionary movement in Africa, Asia, and Latin America.

Following the agreement by the Executive Secretariat for the creation of at least one tricontinental school for each continent, a call has gone out to the governments of the independent countries represented in the Executive Secretariat for the allocation of resources for the creation, in their respective countries, of the schools. The call has already received a positive response from the Democratic Peoples' Republic of Korea and the Republic of Cuba.

The creation of the schools for the formation of political cadres for Africa, Asia, and Latin America constitutes effective action by the peoples in rebellion against the imperialists, under the leadership of Yankee imperialism, and their existence will be a symbol of the friendship and the spirit of international solidarity of the revolutionary forces.

"This great humanity has said: 'Enough!' and has begun to move."
